| | | | Sunday, October 13, 2024 | | Welcome to Week 6! | | Welcome back to another Sunday! Welcome back to chaos! | | | | It's Bucky Irving week! The FFT Newsletter fam's favorite preseason RB has clearly outshined Rachaad White as a rookie, and he's actually been one of the most effective players from any backfield on a per-touch basis, according to the Fantasy Points Data Suite. | | | | Irving will presumably draw his first NFL start in Week 6. What a time to be alive! | | Week 6 NFL DFS Helper | | The DFS Helper should help point you in the right direction, but feel free to reach out to me on Twitter if you have any further questions! I try to respond to tweets throughout the week; I also have a weekly Twitter Q&A each Sunday morning to answer any lineup setting questions you have.
