NFL Week 6 Sleeper Picks Player Predictions (2023)

by |

Welcome to Sleeper Picks! Sleeper’s newest offering promised plenty of entertainment and action, and they delivered. We will break down our top three picks for this week's NFL action. Similar to fantasy sports, the goal in Sleeper Picks is to draft a team of players based on who you think will perform better than the field. But with Sleeper Picks, you pick teams of 2-8 players from multiple teams based on your preferences and predict whether those players will score more or less than a predetermined amount. There are a number of ways to play and a variety of strategies to employ, and we’ll guide you through the process each week.

NFL Week 6 Sleeper Picks 

Season record: 9-13

Cooper Kupp (WR – LAR): OVER 86.5 receiving yards

Cooper Kupp was back to doing Cooper Kupp things in his first game back from injury, hanging right receptions and 118 receiving yards on the Philadelphia Eagles secondary. He will have a much easier matchup this week against the Arizona Cardinals, and if his 12 Week 5 targets are any indication, Kupp is going to be heavily involved in what should be a more competitive affair than the point spread (-7 on LA) suggests. Arizona played Kupp surprisingly well during Matthew Stafford's tenure but no longer has the personnel to keep him contained. Tap the over on Kupp for Week 6.

K.J. Osborn (WR – MIN): OVER 40.5 receiving yards 

Volume is king in fantasy, and with Justin Jefferson on IR, KJ Osborn is about to see a lot more of it. Expected to take on Jefferson's role in the offense due to his superior mastery of the offense, we could see Osborn fed double-digit targets in each of his next four games. This is, of course, an opportunity play, as Osborn failed to clear 40.5 receiving yards in any game this season before Jefferson left Week 5's contest with a hamstring injury. Jordan Addison will see an expanded role, and Brandon Powell proved he will have a role as well, but for Week 6 at least, 40.5 is a low tag based on projected role. Tap the over on Osborn for Week 6 against the Chicago Bears. 

Calvin Ridley (WR – JAC): OVER 60.5 receiving yards 

Calvin Ridley pulled a mini vanishing act after his scintillating return to the field in Week 1. He dropped eight receptions for 101 receiving yards on the Colts in the season opener but then failed to record more than 40 receiving yards in any of his next three contests. However, he came back to life in London against the Buffalo Bills, hauling in seven of his eight targets for a season-high 122 receiving yards. Week 6 gives him another date with his Week 1 opponent in the Indianapolis Colts. Indy does not have much in the way of shutdown talent at corner and is expected to once again struggle to contain the explosive Ridley. He may not drop another 100 burger on them, but 61 receiving yards? That should be a relatively easy accomplishment, considering his success against the Colts’ suspect secondary already this season. Roll with the over on Ridley for Week 6. 

Writers note: The lines are constantly changing on Sleeper, so there is a high probability that one or all of the numbers may no longer be the same when you open your app. There are excellent values when they are first posted, with the only catch being that they are not all released at the same time. Vigilance could provide a solid return on investment this season, literally.
