Fire Up These Names: Your Week 6 G6 Sicko List

If you’ve been following my writing the last two seasons, you know I drop my real sicko takes on Thursdays. On Monday, I gave you the names that are about to see a rostership bump: He’s ON FIRE: CFF Week 6 G6 Waiver Wire Names. Today, however, we’re lighting a match. Every player on this Week 6 G6 Sicko List gets the same instruction from me: fire them up.

This week’s theme is fire, and it starts with Marshall’s defense, which is a certified dumpster fire. As a result, one quarterback on this list is walking into a matchup where nearly every opposing passer has torched the Thundering Herd. Meanwhile, the rest of the names target defenses that are leaking points to running backs, wide receivers, and tight ends. So grab your fire extinguisher, or better yet, don’t, because it’s time to fire up your lineup.

Note: All advanced stats I provide throughout the article are pulled from g5hive.com.

Fire Up These Names: Your Week 6 G6 Sicko List

Quarterbacks

Deuce Bailey, Coastal Carolina

Fantrax Rostership: 31%
Total Fantasy Points: 131.8
Fantasy Points Per Game: 26.4 (6-point passing TDs)

Let’s start with the biggest fire of the week. Marshall is allowing 32.38 points per game to opposing quarterbacks, and this is a matchup where I’m looking squarely at the defense. Marshall has faced Penn State, Middle Tennessee, Missouri State, Gardner-Webb, and JMU. In fact, nearly every quarterback has had a big day against them.

Locklear posted his season-best 25.66 points against Marshall. Roman Gagliano had his second-best outing against them, and Rocco Becht had his best fantasy output of the season. Furthermore, I don’t follow Gardner-Webb closely, but I’d bet Cole Pennington had one of his top performances there too. Last week, Camden Coleman had his second-best outing of the year for JMU against the same defense.

Deuce Bailey, meanwhile, brings a safe floor, averaging 26.4 points per game. Therefore, you get a reliable quarterback against a defense that has made everyone look like a star. Fire up Deuce Bailey.

Note: At the time of writing, he was rostered in just 29% of leagues. For more quarterback targets, check out the video at the end of this article!

One of the best drives I’ve seen from an Individual. The jump throw from the 27 to the 9 is absolutely insane. @DeuceBailey1 is special special. https://t.co/O3DIq8zxFc

Jacurri Brown

Fantrax Rostership: 11%
Total Fantasy Points: 101.9
Fantasy Points Per Game: 20.4 (4-point passing TDs)

If you play in a 4-point passing touchdown league, here’s the name I want to highlight. Jacurri Brown is a quarterback by title, but he’s effectively a running back. He has the second-most rushing yards among quarterbacks in the nation with 495 yards and four touchdowns, averaging 17 rush attempts for 99 yards per game.

ECU allows 20.33 points per game to quarterbacks, but the real number I care about is 22.78 points per game to running backs. Because Brown gets a running back’s workload, that’s the matchup that matters. Moreover, he has posted three straight 25-plus point games: 27.64 against Western Michigan, 28.86 against Fresno State, and 25.12 against UTSA. Fire up your Jacurri Brown shares.

Running Backs

AJ Newberry, Oregon State

Fantrax Rostership: 15%
Total Fantasy Points: 78.16
Fantasy Points Per Game: 15.6

Another sicko list, another week of me highlighting AJ Newberry. San Diego State allows 27.10 points per game to running backs, which makes this a prime spot for him. Newberry is averaging 12 touches and 85 yards per game, and he ranks fourth in the nation in targets per game at 4.6. He’s also top 10 nationally in receiving yards per game at 34.4. Thanks to that receiving work, his floor stays high even if the ground game stalls. Fire up AJ Newberry against San Diego State.

Oregon State knifed through UTEP’s defense with a seven-play, 75-yard touchdown drive that lasted 2:37. RB AJ Newberry scored on a 12-yard rushing TD. Oregon State 7 – UTEP 0 | 12:23 1st https://t.co/lZx6II7sxr

Cyncir Bowers – UConn

Fantrax Rostership: 12%
Total Fantasy Points: 71.5
Fantasy Points Per Game: 14.3

UConn takes on Temple, which allows 21.02 points per game to running backs. I anticipate a slugfest on the ground. Bowers is also starting to separate himself, with a team-leading 40.9% weighted opportunity share. He’s getting 10 touches per game for 76.2 yards, and he leads the team in red-zone carries with eight. He also has five rushing touchdowns.

Admittedly, Bowers will concede passing-down work to Kenji Christian. Still, he’s had three straight games with over 14 points. Last week against Syracuse, he turned 16 rush attempts into 163 yards and two touchdowns. Fire up Sincere Bowers.

Wide Receivers

Eli Wood, Utah State

Fantrax Rostership: 44%
Total Fantasy Points: 94.8
Fantasy Points Per Game: 19

Washington State is allowing 42.06 points per game to wide receivers, and 19.9 points per game specifically to the outside, where Wood lines up. He’s averaging six receptions for 77.6 yards per game. He’s also top 10 in the G6 in red-zone targets with six, and sixth in the G6 in touchdowns with four. Furthermore, he has back-to-back 20-point games against Troy and Boise State. Fire up Eli Wood.

Note: At the time of writing, he was rostered in just 26% of leagues. For more wide receiver targets, check out the video at the end of this article!

Hunter Summers, Arkansas State

Fantrax Rostership: 2%
Total Fantasy Points: 52.3
Fantasy Points Per Game: 10.5

Now go get this guy, because he’s widely available and he plays TONIGHT. That’s the beauty of a Week 6 G6 Sicko List published on Thursday: you can still beat the kickoff.

Summers has a 22.8% target share, close behind Chauncey Cobb at 25.2%. However, Cobb is the slot guy taking the underneath work, while Summers is the deep threat with a 36.8% air-yards share. South Alabama ranks 11th-worst in the nation in fantasy points allowed to the outside per snap, and they allow 23.9 points per game to that spot. In addition, Summers has seen six, eight, and seven targets over his last three games. I think we will see a blow-up game from Hunter Summers tonight.

Tight End

Darrin Fugitt, App State

Fantrax Rostership: 16%
Total Fantasy Points: 41.2
Fantasy Points Per Game: 10.3

ODU is sixth-worst in the G6 at defending opposing tight ends, allowing 12.6 points per game. Fugitt has a 16.2% target share, close behind Nate Branch in the slot and Sam Pickett on the outside. Even so, he’s top 20 among tight ends in both targets and yards per game, with 5.5 targets and 48 yards per game. If you’re struggling for tight end options, look for Darrin Fugitt to have a nice game against ODU.

One more name to know: Eric Olsen is another hot option, and he’s still available in 74% of leagues. If Fugitt is already rostered, pick up Olsen.

Fire Up These Names: Your Week 6 G6 Sicko List

That’s the Week 6 G6 Sicko List, and the instructions couldn’t be simpler: fire them up. Marshall’s defense is the dumpster fire this week, and Deuce Bailey is the one holding the match. Meanwhile, Jacurri Brown, AJ Newberry, Cyncir Bowers, Eli Wood, Hunter Summers, and Darrin Fugitt all have matchups that are practically begging for production. As a result, this is a week to be aggressive rather than careful.

I’ll be back Monday with my climbers list. Good luck in your Week 6 matchups, and I’ll see you in Week 7!
