The NFL season is on to Week 10, 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.
Brock Bowers More Than 0.5 Receiving Yards (Promo Pick)
There is a great promo pick available for Pick6 customers looking to play on Thursday Night Football. After a stint on the sidelines dealing with an injury, Brock Bowers made his return to the field last week for the Raiders. Bowers announced his return with a phenomenal performance. He had 12 catches for 127 yards and three touchdowns, showing he is still one of the league’s best tight ends. With this promo pick, you only need Bowers to record one yard to cash this pick.
RJ Harvey More Than 0.5 Rushing + Receiving TDs
RJ Harvey has had an interesting rookie season for the Broncos. J.K. Dobbins has managed to stay healthy all season, keeping Harvey firmly in a backup role. However, while Harvey’s total snaps are still limited, he has been playing a bigger role in the red-zone offense over the past few weeks. Despite being a clear backup in terms of snaps, Harvey has more touchdowns than Dobbins. Harvey has two rushing touchdowns and four receiving touchdowns on the season. That includes three straight games with receiving touchdowns for Harvey. He is agile and shifty in small spaces, making him a real threat in the screen game when this team gets in goal-to-go situations. As Harvey continues to make the most of his touches, Sean Payton should give him more and more opportunities. Las Vegas ranks 28th in opponent red-zone scoring attempts per game. That means Denver will have plenty of chances to get it to Harvey as he looks for his fourth straight game with a touchdown.
Bo Nix More Than 20.5 Rushing Yards
Bo Nix should be able to use his legs effectively against the Raiders. Las Vegas ranks 23rd in defensive EPA/play this season. However, it has one elite EDGE rusher, Maxx Crosby, who could get to Nix and force him to scramble. The Raiders don’t have the cornerbacks to drop back into coverage and leave a spy on Nix. They need all of the help they can get on the backend, which means scrambling lanes should be open for Nix. Last week against Las Vegas, Trevor Lawrence ran for 24 yards and two scores. The week prior to that, Patrick Mahomes ran for 28 yards against Las Vegas. Justin Herbert and Marcus Mariota also cleared this number against the Raiders earlier this season. Nix has also cleared this number in four of his past five games, and should do so again on Thursday night.
