The NFL season is on to Week 9, 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.
Derrick Henry More Than 0.5 Rushing Yards (Promo Pick)
There is a great promo pick available for Pick6 customers looking to play on Thursday Night Football. This play requires the great Derrick Henry to pick up just one yard on the ground against the Dolphins. Henry’s line was supposed to be set at 89.5 rushing yards, but now you only need him to get one yard. This is a great way to boost the winnings on any Pick6 play that you try out for Thursday Night Football.
De’Von Achane More Than 0.5 Rushing + Receiving TDs
De’Von Achane is having another strong season for the Dolphins. Last season, Achane broke out as the Dolphins’ top receiving option when Tua Tagovailoa was out. He showed that he is not just a good runner, but a great receiver, as well. With Tua Tagovailoa back at quarterback with more ability to throw downfield, Achane’s receiving numbers have decreased somewhat, but he is on pace for the best rushing season of his career. While he isn’t racking up the major yardage through the air that he was last season, he is still a red zone target for Tagovailoa. Achane has seven total touchdowns on the year, with three coming on the ground and four coming through the air.
Baltimore is getting healthier and looked much improved last week, but this is still a defense that ranks 30th in the NFL in EPA/play. The Dolphins should move the ball and get multiple scoring chances. When the team isn’t completely shut down, it is often Achane that finds the end zone for Miami. He has a great chance to score at home in this game against the Ravens.
Zay Flowers More Than 59.5 Receiving Yards
Zay Flowers is going to be happy to have his quarterback at the helm once again. Lamar Jackson is making his return for the Ravens this week. That is something that will benefit all of the skill position players in Baltimore. Zay Flowers was a 1,000-yard receiver last season, but has been more up-and-down in 2025 without Jackson throwing him the ball. Flowers did have a good game last week against the Bears, going for 63 yards through the air. That should be some positive momentum coming into this game against Miami. The Dolphins rank 30th in the NFL in defensive EPA/drop back. Lamar Jackson has a great opportunity to rip this secondary apart in his return to the field. If he does, Flowers should be the beneficiary of plenty of targets, catches and chances to break big plays. Despite having three different quarterbacks throw to him, Flowers has gone over this number in five out of seven games this season. With Jackson back and facing a bad secondary, Flowers should cruise over this number.
