Sunday afternoon of Week 6 featured 10 matchups on the DraftKings main DFS fantasy football slate, and plenty of fantasy points were flowing from a few key matchups. In this week’s NFL $2.75M FANTASY FOOTBALL MILLIONAIRE [$1M TO 1ST], the highest-scoring entry came from brwntwn4, who earned 227.14 fantasy points, finishing over three points ahead of the rest of the 161,764 entries.
Here’s the highest-scoring entry from the Week 6 millionaire contest:
Patriots Day in the Big Easy
The top entry from brwntwn4 built around a Patriots stack of Drake Maye (27.24 FPTS) and Kayshon Boutte (26.3 FPTS).
Boutte was an outstanding bargain at only $3,800 and delivered a huge game with five catches for 93 yards and two touchdowns. He was included in only 1.2% of entries, the lowest ownership percentage of any player in the winning lineup.
Boutte caught two of Maye’s three touchdowns, while the second-year quarterback threw for 261 passing yards and ran for 28 more yards and a two-point conversion.
He continues to emerge as one of the best young quarterbacks in the NFL and was the top-scoring QB on the main slate this week, while leading his team to a 25-19 victory that improved their record to 4-2 on the season, including a perfect 3-0 on the road.
Rico Keeps Rolling To Lead a Stacked Backfield
While brwntwn4 went cheap at receiver, the entry paid up for a trio of outstanding running backs. In the FLEX spot, the entry opted to go with Rico Dowdle (36.9 FPTS), after the fill-in starter in Carolina went off for over 200 rushing yards last week.
Dowdle was facing his former team with Chuba Hubbard (calf) out for a second straight week, but the matchup against a porous Dallas defense was too good to pass up (as I covered last Friday).
Dowdle definitely didn’t disappoint. For the second straight week, he posted massive totals. He ran for 183 yards on 30 carries and added 56 yards and a touchdown on four receptions.
He was the most productive player in fantasy football for the second straight week (with Monday results still pending).
Alongside him in the backfield, this entry went with Josh Jacobs (32 FPTS) and Kyren Williams (16.7 FPTS). Williams was solid with his 50 rushing yards, 37 receiving yards and a touchdown to help the Rams pact the Ravens on the road, but Jacobs was even better, finishing as the third-highest scoring RB on the slate.
Jacobs racked up 93 yards and two touchdowns on the ground against the Bengals and tacked on five catches for 57 more yards as well.
Pickens and JSN FTW!
Alongside Boutte at receiver, the top entry from brwntwn4 went with Cowboys receiver George Pickens (34.8 FPTS) against the Panthers and Jaxson Smith-Njigba (33.2 FPTS) against the Jaguars. Pickens finished as the top receiver on the main slate with JSN at No. 2 and Boutte at No. 3, giving this entry a clean sweep of the top of the receiver leaderboard.
Pickens continues to serve as the Cowboys’ top receiver in the absence of CeeDee Lamb (ankle) and caught nine of his 11 targets on Sunday for an impressive 168 yards and a touchdown.
Smith-Njigba posted similar numbers as he continues to excel in his No. 1 receiver roll after the departure of DK Metcalf this past offseason. JSN ended up with eight catches for 162 yards and a touchdown.
A Bargain Backup at TE
The Raiders hosted the Titans in one of the three late games, and Michael Mayer (16 FPTS) stepped in for an injured Brock Bowers (knee) and was a key contributor for the Raiders, who got their second win of the season, 20-10.
Mayer was a great fantasy football sleeper who I highlighted on Saturday since he was able to return from his concussion and take over as the team’s top tight end in Bowers’ absence.
The former Golden Domer hauled in five catches for 50 yards and a touchdown, making him the No. 3 TE on the slate despite his very affordable salary just over $3,000.
Mayer’s touchdown made him a key part of this winning entry from brwntwn4 and also part of this huge Parlay hit from Jerrythekid21:
The Bottom Line
This week’s top entry in the Milly Maker hit on two bargain plays with Mayer and Boutte, and loaded up on the right running backs with Dowdle and Jacobs. Picking each of the top three receivers along with the top QB on the board in Drake Maye fueled the big week for brwntwn4, leading to a dominating performance in Sunday’s 20-team player pool.
Looking ahead to Week 7, the NFL has a third consecutive 10-game main slate lined up for next Sunday with six early games and four games in the late window. As part of the many contests on DraftKings, another Milly Maker on the board will give fantasy football players another chance to claim a million-dollar top prize for just a $20 entry in the NFL $2.75M Fantasy Football Millionaire [$1M to 1st].
