Week 5 of the 2025-26 NFL season continues with a great Sunday slate. 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 the Week 5 Sunday slate.
Quinshon Judkins More Than 94.5 Rushing + Receiving Yards
Quinshon Judkins’ NFL future was unclear most of the summer, causing him to miss rookie training camp and other parts of summer workouts. However, once he was able to get going and hit the field, he hit the ground running. He missed the Browns’ season opener against the Bengals, but he averaged over six yards per carry against the Ravens in his NFL debut. He has become the clear featured back for the Browns over the past two games. In those two games, Judkins combined for 39 carries, 176 rushing yards and two touchdowns. Against the Lions, Judkins also had four catches for 33 yards. Judkins went over this combined rushing and receiving number in each of his past two games and should do so in this game. The Browns are giving rookie quarterback Dillon Gabriel his first start, so they should lean on Judkins. The Browns will want to run the ball while also giving Gabriel some easy throws to Judkins out of the backfield. Judkins should make it three straight games getting over this number.
Garrett Wilson More Than 5.5 Receptions
Despite the Jets starting 0-4, Garrett Wilson continues to show that he is one of the NFL’s best receivers. The Jets’ star receiver is currently fourth in the NFL in receptions, eighth in receiving yards and eighth in receiving touchdowns. Since coming into the league, Wilson ranks seventh in the NFL in total receptions, despite some poor quarterback play throughout his career. Wilson has a connection with his new quarterback, Justin Fields, dating back to college at Ohio State. Fields has leaned on his old friend and star receiver so far this season, with Wilson averaging 6.8 catches per game. Wilson should feast against a terrible Cowboys secondary. Dallas ranks 32nd in the NFL in defensive EPA/dropback and 31st in defensive dropback success rate. Malik Nabers had nine catches against this defense, and his fellow New York receiver could have a similar performance. Wilson ranks second behind only Puka Nacua in target share percentage this season, and he should grab at least six catches against Dallas.
Tetairoa McMillan More Than 64.5 Receiving Yards
Despite some offensive struggles from the Panthers as a team, it has been a solid start to Tetairoa McMillan’s NFL career. After the unicorn Heisman Trophy winner, Travis Hunter, McMillan was the first wide receiver taken in the 2025 NFL Draft. He is averaging 69.5 receiving yards per game this season, leading the Panthers in receptions and receiving yards by a wide margin. Bryce Young has been looking for McMillan whenever possible. The rookie ranks 14th in the NFL in total targets this season. Coincidentally, he also ranks 14th in the NFL in receiving yards this season. Last season, so many rookie pass catchers were among the league leaders in receiving yards. McMillan is leading the way with this rookie class and should keep it going against Miami. The Dolphins rank 31st in defensive EPA/dropback and 32nd in defensive dropback success rate. This game is a great chance for Young and the Panthers to get their offense going, starting by feeding McMillan.
