Week 6 was another cashless week, but we go again in the Bet365 Sunday Redzone Competition. Between injuries and a blockbuster trade, this weeks early game schedule has a lot of players who are no longer priced correctly. This week I have one line-up I like taking advantage of some players underpriced due to injury concerns.
At QB, I have opted for Dak Prescott on his return from a thumb injury. Prescott is off the injury report entirely, and reportedly threw 40-50 times in a mock game in Wednesday’s practice. He may still get eased in slowly, but it sounds like he’s all the way back – at 14.2M he’s a no brainer.
Dak returns to a perfect match-up against the Lions, the worst team in the league in passing DVOA. With that in mind, I’m swinging for the fences with both his top targets. CeeDee Lamb is nailed on for a high workload, and Michael Gallup could too if the Lions can keep it competitive.

Assuming the Lions do keep it competitive, Amon-Ra St Brown is likely to have a big role to play. With St Brown heavily limited with an ankle injury in week 5, the Lions were atrocious against the Patriots. After two weeks off, I expect a return to double-digit targets against the Cowboys.
I’ve made use of my savings to pick up top tier options at Running Back, Wide Receiver and Tight End. First off, I have Travis Kelce at tight end. Despite turning 33 this month, Kelce shows no signs of slowing down. The 49ers have been defending tight ends well, but Kelce is as close to match-up proof as they come.
Ja’Marr Chase has been limited in practice earlier this week with a hip injury, but he managed a full practice on Friday and is set to play against Atalanta. The Falcons are a fantastic match-up, giving up over 40 points per game to Wide Receivers in PPR scoring.
My final top tier player is Chargers running back Austin Ekeler. This week he faces a Seahawks defense that has been allowing over 150 scrimmage yards to running backs. With Keenan Allen looking likely to miss another week, there will be plenty of targets for Ekeler in the passing game.
I’ve rounded out my skill position with Dameon Pierce. The rookie is the lone bright spot in the Texans offense having earned the starting job. If the Texans keep the game close-ish, Pierce will be a lock for 20+ carries.
Finally, I have gone with the Jets Defense. I liked this match-up against the Broncos earlier in the week, and now with Russell Wilson out it’s a slam dunk pick. The Jets shutdown Aaron Rodgers last week, and should have success again with Brett Rypien in at QB for Denver.
