Week 6 brings the first set of byes with four teams getting a week off. It is also another week with a game in London on Sunday morning which brings the total number of island games up to four. Upon first glance at the schedule, I didn’t think I would have too much interest in the island games for our full week GPP lineups, but as I got deeper into researching there are some interesting options in the island games to either stack or use as one-off pieces in full week GPP lineups.

The players below are ones I’m looking at for large-field tournament considerations for Week 6 full slates:
Quarterbacks
DraftKings
Kyler Murray (ARI): $7,900 vs. CLE
With so many great quarterback options in favorable matchups and good game environments, Murray could be the forgotten option coming off a subpar game and with five other games featuring a higher Vegas total than the Cardinals/Browns tilt.
The Browns have gotten themselves into shootouts in both of their matchups against elite quarterbacks (Patrick Mahomes and Justin Herbert) and could find themselves in another back-and-forth matchup with Murray and the Cardinals. With the Browns stifling run defense and pass rush, Murray could have a big day on the ground in addition to through the air giving him massive upside.
