fantasy preview: week 6

The fantasy projections and game lines are notably unreliable, particularly because many teams wait until Sunday to set their roster.


So what's a better way to preview the games?

Using the handy charts on the bottom of the preview panel, perhaps it's using a head-to-head breakdown of what would have happened if the teams matched up in week 6 had played each other in the previous 5 weeks. I'll put the current line in parens for reference.

Dave OVER Doyle 3-2 (Sweaty -56.5)
Kirat OVER Boss 3-2 (Kirat +31.5)
Niraj OVER Harlan 3-2 (Niraj -65.5)
Savan OVER Swag 3-2 (Savan -1)
Mark OVER Matt 4-1 (Mark -71.5)

There you have it. Illinois division is 16-9 vs. Naperville in hypothetical head-to-head matchups (based only this week's schedule. It would be different depending on who was playing who.) In fact, right now Illinois division has 13 wins, Naperville has 12. But most of those have been divisional games, so it's still a small sample size.

Also, week 6 is the first week in which every game is interdivsional. Can Illinois go 5-0?
