Week 6 Player Notes & Start/Sit Advice

Kirk Cousins (MIN) at MIA: Vikings -3 | 45.5 O/U

Cousins has league-high marks with 62 attempts of 10-plus yards downfield and 21 pass attempts inside the 10-yard line (per our Advanced QB Stats Report and Red Zone Stats Report).
The Dolphins might be without Nos. 1-2 CBs Xavien Howard (groin) and Byron Jones (ankle, PUP) and are No. 32 in defensive pass DVOA (31.9%, per Football Outsiders).

Geno Smith (SEA) vs. ARI: Seahawks +2.5 | 51 O/U

Smith is No. 1 in completion percentage (75.2%), No. 2 in AY/A (8.9) and No. 3 in composite EPA + CPOE (0.189) — just as we all expected before the season started.
The Cardinals defense is No. 32 in dropback SR (53.3%).
Seahawks HC Pete Carroll is 16-8 ATS as a home underdog.

Jimmy Garoppolo (SF) at ATL: 49ers -5.5 | 44.5 O/U

Since joining the 49ers in 2017, Garoppolo is No. 5 in composite EPA + CPOE (0.137) — behind only Patrick Mahomes (0.177), Drew Brees (0.166), Deshaun Watson (0.144) and Aaron Rodgers (0.138).
The Falcons defense is No. 31 in dropback SR (53.0%): Garoppolo has literally a five-star matchup.
For his career, Garoppolo is 21-9 ATS on the road.

Daniel Jones (NYG) vs. BAL: Giants +5 | 45 O/U

Jones is very much #NotGood (6.2 AY/A this year, 6.3 AY/A for career), but he could have a pass-heavy game script as a big road underdog (+190 at DraftKings).
The Ravens will be without CB Kyler Fuller (knee, IR) and FS Marcus Williams (wrist, IR) and are No. 2 in most fantasy points allowed to opposing quarterbacks (23.6 FPPG).
Jones is — somehow — 20-13 ATS as an underdog.
