NFL Week 6 wraps up with a Monday Night Football showdown between the Buffalo Bills and the Tennessee Titans.
If you’re unfamiliar with the single-game NFL DFS format, it differs a bit on DraftKings and FanDuel. On DraftKings, you have one “captain” spot and five flexes. The captain will score 1.5x fantasy points, but he also costs 1.5x salary. That means if you want to roster Josh Allen at Captain and take advantage of the scoring boost, you’ll have to pay $19,200 as opposed to $12,800.
FanDuel’s single-game format features one “MVP” spot and four flexes. The MVP also scores 1.5x fantasy points, but he doesn’t cost any additional salary. That takes away a bit of the strategy and makes the goal simple: Get your highest-scoring player in the MVP spot.

Studs
This game features some of the best offensive players in the league, and there are expected to be plenty of points scored. The total currently sits at 53.0 points, and the Bills are listed as six-point road favorites. That gives them a significant edge in implied team total.
Allen is the most expensive player in this contest, and he’s had an up and down year from a fantasy perspective. He opened the year with two poor performances, scoring 18.2 and 17.66 DraftKings points, but he’s bounced back with at least 21.02 DraftKings points in each of his past three games. That includes two performances with at least 39.5 DraftKings points, so his ceiling remains as high as ever.
