The NFL season is on to Week 6 and there are far more ways to get involved in the action than just via traditional betting. One of the more unique features on DraftKings this season is Pick6 Fantasy Football!
Here are my top Pick6 plays for Thursday Night Football.
A.J. Brown More Than 0.5 Receiving Yards (Promo Pick)
There is a great promo pick available for Pick6 customers on Thursday Night Football. It has been an up-and-down start to the season for A.J. Brown, but this promo pick only requires him to have one receiving yard. The line would have been set at 62.5 receiving yards, so this is an incredible way to get a win on the board for your Pick6 play.
Jalen Hurts More Than 0.5 Rushing + Receiving TDs
Jalen Hurts is a rushing touchdown machine. Since the start of the 2021 season, nobody has more rushing touchdowns than Hurts. In his last 60 games, including the postseason, he has 56 rushing touchdowns. He has four rushing touchdowns through five games this season, and he should add another one against the Giants. Hurts scored two rushing touchdowns in last season’s matchup against the Giants. This time around, he will lean on his legs once again. The tush push is the most common way for Hurts to find the end zone, but he can get a designed run called out of the shotgun or improvise on a scramble as well. The Giants rank 30th in the NFL in defensive EPA/rush and 28th in defensive rushing success rate. New York has been awful against the run and with Saquon Barkley’s struggles to start the season, Hurts’ legs will be the best path to the end zone for the Eagles.
Jaxson Dart More Than 35.5 Rushing Yards
Jaxson Dart has been a spark for the Giants’ offense in his two starts this season. The Giants were high on Dart, trading up to take him in the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft. After spending the first couple of games of the season backing up Russell Wilson, coach Brian Daboll decided there was no point in keeping Dart on the sidelines. He played fantastic football in his first start, beating the Chargers to get the Giants their first win of the season. Dart played well down-to-down in his second start against the Saints, but turnovers were a major issue. If Dart can avoid the turnovers, he should have a bright rookie season. He is a great passer, but the threat of his legs make him hard to defend. He had at least 54 rushing yards in each of his first two starts. Against the Eagles, he should rely heavily on his legs again. Philadelphia ranks eighth in the NFL in defensive passing success rate, but 30th in defensive rushing success rate. In what should be a tough game for the Giants, Dart will be at his best improvising with his legs. That should take him over this total for the third straight game.
