The NFL season is on to Week 12, 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! These are the best Pick6 plays for Thursday Night Football between the Texans and the Bills.
Here are my top Pick6 plays for Thursday Night Football.
Josh Allen More Than 0.5 Passing Yards (Promo Pick)
DraftKings Pick6 is offering a great promo pick for Thursday Night Football. All users can get Josh Allen more than 0.5 passing yards added to any Pick6 play on Thursday night. The reigning MVP’s passing yards line was supposed to be set at 224.5 yards, and this promo needs him to pick up just one yard through the air. This is a great way to boost any winning Pick6 play that you have for Thursday Night Football.
Matt Prater More Than 1.5 Field Goals Made
Matt Prater has been solid for the Bills all season, with an 86% field goal percentage. The Bills are efficient in the red zone, so Prater often isn’t forced into action. However, this will be a tough matchup against a great Houston defense. Houston leads the NFL in defensive EPA/play and ranks third in defensive success rate. The Bills’ offense is good enough to be able to move the ball against anyone, but Houston should be able to hold up and force field goals out of the Bills. Prater has four games this season with at least two made field goals. This game will be in a dome in Houston, so there are no weather factors to consider when it comes to the kicking game. That should lead to Prater knocking through at least two field goals on Thursday night.
Nico Collins More Than 74.5 Receiving Yards
Nico Collins has continued to thrive at wide receiver despite the quarterback change to Davis Mills. The Texans have been decimated by injuries on offense for the second straight season. Without Joe Mixon, the Texans have no serious run game. They have also been short-handed at receiver all season, allowing defenses to fully focus on stopping Nico Collins. Despite that, he still ranks 19th in the NFL in receiving yards this season. Collins has been the go-to guy for Davis Mills since he took over at quarterback as well. Davis Mills will be making his second straight start for the Texans as C.J. Stroud continues to recover from a concussion. Including the game that Mills entered after Stroud’s concussion, Collins has at least 75 receiving yards in all three games that Mills has played. He is averaging 101 yards per game over that three-game stretch. Mills should force-feed his top target once again, getting Collins over 74.5 receiving yards for the fourth straight game.
