Week 17 of the 2025 NFL season continues with a great Monday Night Football game between the Los Angeles Rams and the Atlanta Falcons. 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 Week 17 Monday Night Football.
Bijan Robinson More Than 44.5 Receiving Yards
Bijan Robinson has been the lone bright spot in a brutal season for the Falcons. A season with such high expectations has been riddled with close losses and bad injuries. However, heading into this week, Bijan Robinson is the only player in the NFL with over 2,000 scrimmage yards. Robinson ranks fifth in the NFL in rushing yards and has the second-most receiving yards among running backs this season. He has cleared 44.5 receiving yards in three of his past four games, including averaging 87 receiving yards per game over his past two games. The Rams have one of the best defenses in the NFL, but that could just lead to the Falcons leaning even harder on their star running back. Kirk Cousins won’t have much time to push the ball down the field, so he should just dump it off to Robinson in the passing game. Robinson should keep his sensational season going and go for at least 45 receiving yards on Monday night.
Kirk Cousins More Than 0.5 Interceptions Thrown
Kirk Cousins was benched for a reason at the end of last season. Cousins no longer has any mobility and can’t push his throws downfield like he used to. Other than his dramatic second-half comeback against the Buccaneers, Cousins has not played well since taking over for the injured Michael Penix Jr. There have been 40 quarterbacks in the NFL with at least 200 dropbacks this season. Among those 40 quarterbacks, Cousins ranks 31st in EPA+CPOE composite and 31st in air yards per attempt. The Rams rank third in the NFL in defensive EPA/dropback and should make life difficult for Cousins. They also rank sixth in the league in interceptions with 15 on the season. Cousins has thrown three interceptions over his past three games and should throw another one against this tough Rams defense.
Matthew Stafford More Than 1.5 Passing Touchdowns
Matthew Stafford has been sensational for the Rams this season. He ranks third in the league in passing yards and leads the NFL in passing touchdowns. Stafford has a remarkable 40 passing touchdowns in 15 games this season, an average of 2.6 passing touchdowns per game. Stafford has thrown for multiple scores in 13 out of 15 games this season, including in each of his past nine games. The Rams still have a lot to play for these last two weeks of the season, so Stafford should continue to put his best foot forward. Atlanta ranks 19th in the NFL in defensive dropback success rate and should struggle to stop Stafford from moving the ball down the field and converting those drives into passing touchdowns. Stafford should thrive in front of the national audience on Monday night and throw for at least two touchdowns against the Falcons.
