Welcome to Week 6 of the Late Slate! My mom convinced my dad to read my articles, and now both of my parents agree I write the best fantasy articles they have ever read. Both parents agree; I might be on to something here.
OK, you DFS degenerates, three games give us six teams and several ways to build around volume and scoring opportunity. That doesn’t feel like many players, but Week 6 offers some great matchups to attack. Remember, if you are failing in your season-long lineups and totally crapped out on the main slate, you can fully redeem yourself with the Late Slate. So you should do it!

Week 6 Late Slate Games
Arizona at Los Angeles Rams — 4:05 p.m. ET
Buffalo at Las Vegas Raiders — 4:25 p.m. ET
Los Angeles Chargers at Kansas City — 4:25 p.m. ET
The first two offer shootout potential, with the highest over/under lines on the Main Slate and the Late Slate.
Quarterbacks
| Player | Opp | FanDuel | DraftKings |
| Josh Allen | at LV | $9,500 | $7,500 |
| Matthew Stafford | vs ARI | $7,800 | $6,400 |
| Kirk Cousins | vs BUF | $6,800 | $5,400 |
Josh Allen
Buffalo Bills at Las Vegas Raiders
Allen brings the ceiling worth paying for on a three-game slate. The Raiders allow the fifth-most fantasy points to quarterbacks, and Allen has seven passing touchdowns and eight rushing touchdowns this season. His ability to score through the air and on the ground makes him a premium Late Slate option.
Matthew Stafford
Los Angeles Rams vs Arizona Cardinals
Stafford has passed for more than 300 yards in four consecutive games. Arizona allows the third-most fantasy points to quarterbacks and has surrendered at least three touchdowns in each of its past four games. The matchup supports another productive afternoon and multiple Rams stacking options.
Kirk Cousins
Las Vegas Raiders vs Buffalo Bills
Cousins offers a cheaper way into the Bills–Raiders game. Buffalo has surrendered six passing touchdowns over its past two games, while Cousins has thrown 12 this season. He gives us a salary-saving quarterback option with multi-touchdown upside.
Running Backs
| Player | Opp | FanDuel | DraftKings |
| Ashton Jeanty | vs BUF | $7,600 | $6,500 |
| Kenneth Walker III | vs LAC | $8,900 | $8,500 |
| James Cook | at LV | $8,400 | $7,400 |
| Kyren Williams | vs ARI | $8,100 | $6,800 |
Ashton Jeanty
Las Vegas Raiders vs Buffalo Bills
Jeanty has handled 88 carries and drawn 31 targets, with approximately 72% of Las Vegas red-zone carries and 80% of its goal-line carries. Buffalo allows the second-most fantasy points to running backs. His receiving involvement and scoring opportunities support a strong Late Slate play.
Kenneth Walker III
Kansas City Chiefs vs Los Angeles Chargers
Walker averaged 24.8 touches over the first four games of the 2026 season. He also controlled 76% of Kansas City red-zone carries. His volume and explosiveness make him a premium running back option. He feels almost as exciting as Kenny “Sky” Walker was in the NBA.
NOTE: The Third sounds so fancy, Like Kenneth is from the line of kings or something. My brother is William Reedy the Third, but trust me when I tell you that it means nothing in my family.
James Cook
Buffalo Bills at Las Vegas Raiders
Cook has 532 rushing yards and five touchdowns on 95 carries, averaging 5.6 yards per attempt. He owns 56.3% of Buffalo red-zone carries. Las Vegas allows 116 rushing yards per game to running backs, giving Cook a strong matchup for his rushing workload. He will get yards.
Kyren Williams
Los Angeles Rams vs Arizona Cardinals
Williams combines 70 carries with 33 targets, providing opportunities in both phases of the offense. His 63% share of Rams red-zone carries supports touchdown upside, while 4.9 yards per carry strengthens his efficiency case. I love Kyren more than you do.
Wide Receivers
| Player | Opp | FanDuel | DraftKings |
| Puka Nacua | vs ARI | $9,000 | $8,100 |
| Davante Adams | vs ARI | $7,200 | $6,600 |
| Tre Tucker | vs BUF | $5,800 | $4,700 |
| Khalil Shakir | at LV | $5,900 | $5,300 |
Puka Nacua
Los Angeles Rams vs Arizona Cardinals
Nacua caught 17 of 24 targets for 138 yards and a touchdown in his second game back from injury. With 45 targets and 31 receptions across three appearances, his workload makes him a premium receiver and a natural Stafford stacking partner against Arizona.
Davante Adams
Los Angeles Rams vs Arizona Cardinals
Adams gets 45 targets with a 15.7-yard average target depth, giving him plenty of downfield opportunities. Seven red-zone targets strengthen his touchdown case. He offers a less expensive Stafford pairing than Nacua while keeping the tournament upside.
NOTE: Did someone say, Double Stack? Play Puka and Davante with Stafford, and you get a Double-Double that would make In-N-Out Burger jealous.
Tre Tucker
Las Vegas Raiders vs Buffalo Bills
Tucker owns 28.8% of Las Vegas air yards and averages 15.9 air yards per target. Buffalo allows the most fantasy points to receivers, making Tucker a big-play option. Pair him with Cousins or use him opposite an Allen-led Buffalo stack. This is a nice paydown spot, especially in GPP tournaments.
Khalil Shakir
Buffalo Bills at Las Vegas Raiders
Shakir has 26 targets, 18 receptions, and 246 receiving yards, including 156 yards after the catch. Five red-zone targets provide scoring opportunity. His shorter-area role gives us another way to pair a receiver with Allen.
Tight Ends
| Player | Opp | FanDuel | DraftKings |
| Tyler Higbee | vs ARI | $5,000 | $3,400 |
| Dalton Kincaid | at LV | $5,900 | $5,100 |
| Charlie Kolar | at KC | $4,600 | $2,500 |
| Trey McBride | at LAR | $7,400 | $7,200 |
| Brock Bowers | vs BUF | $8,300 | $7,500 |
Tyler Higbee
Los Angeles Rams vs Arizona Cardinals
Higbee has caught at least five passes for 62 yards in three straight games. Arizona allows the fourth-most fantasy points to tight ends. That combination makes him a good value and an affordable route into the Rams’ passing offense.
Dalton Kincaid
Buffalo Bills at Las Vegas Raiders
Kincaid averages 17.3 yards per reception on 11.6-yard targets. Las Vegas allows the sixth-most fantasy points to tight ends, giving him downfield upside and a useful role in Allen stacks. Bounce-back week is here.
Charlie Kolar
Los Angeles Chargers at Kansas City Chiefs
I know you think I am sitting here on some hallucinogenics or something, but hear me out. Kolar caught three of four targets for 37 yards in Week 5. Kansas City allows the third-most fantasy points to tight ends, giving him a favorable positional matchup. His low salary makes him a tournament option when you need to fit premium players elsewhere.
Brock Bowers
Las Vegas Raiders vs Buffalo Bills
Bowers has turned 34 targets into 24 receptions, 312 yards, and three touchdowns, averaging 13 yards per catch. Five red-zone targets provide another scoring avenue, making him a Cousins stacking partner or a key runback target in Allen-led lineups.
Defenses
| Player | Opp | FanDuel | DraftKings |
| Kansas City Chiefs | vs LAC | $4,600 | $3,600 |
| Los Angeles Rams | vs ARI | $4,300 | $3,800 |
Kansas City Chiefs
vs Los Angeles Chargers
The Chargers have surrendered 17 sacks, seven interceptions, and six fumbles lost in five games. They allow the most opposing D/ST fantasy points, giving Kansas City several paths to DFS production.
Los Angeles Rams
vs Arizona Cardinals
Arizona has conceded 2.4 sacks and one interception per game. Those opportunities give the Rams a path to fantasy points through pressure and takeaways, giving them another defensive option alongside Kansas City.
