Final Word Week 6 | NFL Supercoach Trades, Captains, PODs


<p>As we now approach week 6 of the NFL Supercoach season, I think it is safe to say things are starting to calm down a little.</p>



<p>By that, I mean we now have a much better sample size to judge the roles of different players and are being dealt with fewer surprises than at the start of the season. </p>



<p>We still are facing some obstacles though, in the form of byes and seemingly continuous injuries to highly-owned Supercoach options.</p>



<p>For me this week, it&#8217;s Omarion Hampton, last week, it was Bucky Irving and Lamar Jackson, and then Malik Nabers and CeeDee Lamb earlier in the season. </p>



<p>On an overall note, however, I am very happy with how my team is coming together.</p>



<p>Currently ranked 184th overall, I am hoping a couple of good captaincy choices and sit vs start decisions can help get me closer to that elusive top 100. </p>



<p>Without further ado, here is my final work ahead of NFL Supercoach week 6.</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Week 6 Trade Plans</strong></h3>



<p>I am currently writing this after watching the Giants put on an absolute masterclass in a huge upset victory over Philly. </p>



<p>Why do I mention this?</p>



<p>Well, one of my trades this week has already been locked in.</p>



<p>Yes, like many other Supercoach managers, I traded in Jaxson Dart this week at the expense of J.J. McCarthy.</p>



<p>Although I had him on my bench, it was once again promising signs from the Giants&#8217; rookie QB, who put up a very solid 46 points. </p>



<p>He is about to make a ridiculous amount of cash as he currently sits at $4.3m with a breakeven of -50.</p>

<p>I am also aware that Josh Allen is on the bye next week, so I am going to have to play Dart in my side.</p>



<p>Unfortunately, he comes up against the slightly terrifying Broncos defence next week.</p>



<p>I would be lying if I said I wasn&#8217;t nervous, but honestly, it is only one week, and I still back Dart to put in a decent score with his dual-threat ability.</p>



<p>So yes, that was one of my week 6 trades: McCarthy out for Dart.</p>



<p>At this stage, I think it might be my only trade for the week as well.</p>



<p>There are a few reasons for this. </p>



<p>I like how my team is looking for this week, and there is no one I feel as though is a must trade in, so the rule of thumb is if you are not sure, you may as well save the trade for when you might really need it.</p>



<p>Additionally, cash generation has not been hard to come by at all, so I don&#8217;t feel like I need to worry too much more about that at this stage.</p>



<a id='7vZKk3boQftw_7S0WleOBg' class='gie-single' href='https://www.gettyimages.com/detail/2235299378' target='_blank' style='color:#a7a7a7;text-decoration:none;font-weight:normal !important;border:none;display:inline-block;' rel="noopener">Embed from Getty Images</a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'7vZKk3boQftw_7S0WleOBg',sig:'Rcwt45mjTFSn74sazADCWqOJcRRqCI17VMelDA6o9Bo=',w:'594px',h:'396px',items:'2235299378',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});</script><script src='//embed-cdn.gettyimages.com/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async></script>



<p>However, in saying this, there is still every chance that by Monday morning, I will decide to pull the trigger on a second trade.</p>



<p>Here is one move I am considering&#8230;</p>



<p>Darren Waller is the most trade in player this week and I am also considering brining him in at my bench TE spot for Harold Fannin Jr.</p>



<p>Although Waller might bring some faster cash generation, as already mentioned I am not too concerned with that.</p>



<p>In terms of scoring, I think it is a sideways move, and not a move I have to make as I plan on playing my other two TE&#8217;s in McBride and Warren every week. </p>



<p>This does mean I will hold on to Omarion Hampton, which is not ideal as he has been placed on IR and ruled out for at least a month.</p>



<p>However, there is no downgrade option screaming my name, and I already have four good running back options playing this week so no need to move now.</p>



<a id='vqH9OnvLQzpHbJYGdrAhig' class='gie-single' href='https://www.gettyimages.com/detail/2239804881' target='_blank' style='color:#a7a7a7;text-decoration:none;font-weight:normal !important;border:none;display:inline-block;' rel="noopener">Embed from Getty Images</a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'vqH9OnvLQzpHbJYGdrAhig',sig:'M7ZVZbIIzQPoY4b6llj_xN2iiGssCse60k36rK-W-5Y=',w:'594px',h:'396px',items:'2239804881',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});</script><script src='//embed-cdn.gettyimages.com/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async></script>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Week 6 Captaincy Plans</strong></h3>



<p>Now for my all important captaincy decision for this week.</p>



<p>So far this season I have managed to nail some of my captaincy options, but have also flopped with some others.</p>



<p>For me this week, it comes down to Josh Allen vs Jayden Daniels.</p>



<p>I am absoutley spewing that they are both playing within an hour of each other on Tuesday so I can&#8217;t VC one and C the other.</p>



<p>Allen is, as always, the safe option and the option most top Supercoach sides will go with.</p>



<p>He comes up against the Atlanta Falcons, who boast a decent pass defence, but honeslty I am not too worried with them stopping the Bills offence.</p>



<a id='iP1JA01nTe9NQrB9kn1GSA' class='gie-single' href='https://www.gettyimages.com/detail/2239978706' target='_blank' style='color:#a7a7a7;text-decoration:none;font-weight:normal !important;border:none;display:inline-block;' rel="noopener">Embed from Getty Images</a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'iP1JA01nTe9NQrB9kn1GSA',sig:'ZcAp8coaRS_ZnbP4UMTuYOY9GRraeC8ec6CNVuZpq7w=',w:'594px',h:'396px',items:'2239978706',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});</script><script src='//embed-cdn.gettyimages.com/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async></script>



<p>So do I be boring and play it safe, or do I go for the week-defining POD captaincy play in Jayden Daniels.</p>



<p>I brought Daniels in last week to replace Lamar, and that was a risk in itslef being his first game back from his knee injury.</p>



<p>He played solidly, against a strong Chargers defence, and scored 33 (albeit saved by a last minute touchdown pass).</p>



<p>His matchup this week against the Chicago Bears is about as good as it gets, as I expect a high-scoring shootout.</p>



<p>However, I could also see the Bills vs Falcons game turn into a shootout in itself.</p>



<p>If I had to choose now I would probably take the safe option in Allen.</p>



<p>Daniels is already a POD for me, and I don&#8217;t know if I quite have the balls to double down on him just yet. </p>



<a id='eBSuJ0O4T6hY58KBt0Pjhw' class='gie-single' href='https://www.gettyimages.com/detail/2237908143' target='_blank' style='color:#a7a7a7;text-decoration:none;font-weight:normal !important;border:none;display:inline-block;' rel="noopener">Embed from Getty Images</a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'eBSuJ0O4T6hY58KBt0Pjhw',sig:'7XwsyYsAgXGZkfkS4IU1qXJvxq7C5__pMtME0XWbzNc=',w:'594px',h:'396px',items:'2237908143',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});</script><script src='//embed-cdn.gettyimages.com/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async></script>



<p>If you want a POD captain option of your own I love the look of Bijan Robinson vs a struggling Bills run defence.</p>



<p>For my vice captain this week it will probably be Puka Nacua vs the Ravens or CMC vs the Bucs.</p>



<p>Although it would take a massive score for me to consider looping this week as it would involve sacrificing either Odunze&#8217;s or Egbuka&#8217;s score. </p>



<a id='V7dXliGCQJBl6J_rv4f6PA' class='gie-single' href='https://www.gettyimages.com/detail/2237929096' target='_blank' style='color:#a7a7a7;text-decoration:none;font-weight:normal !important;border:none;display:inline-block;' rel="noopener">Embed from Getty Images</a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'V7dXliGCQJBl6J_rv4f6PA',sig:'ipBzE8fE8jU6Ba77mk91g-btGta7dGuT2q38a0JNLcE=',w:'594px',h:'396px',items:'2237929096',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});</script><script src='//embed-cdn.gettyimages.com/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async></script>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Week 6 PODS</strong></h3>



<p><strong>Drake London </strong>(WR)<strong> </strong>$13,690,000 </p>



<p>Yes I know, its probably not a name you think would fit under the POD category, but after a poor start to the season, Drake London has fallen to just 8% ownership amonst top Supercoach sides.</p>



<p>Coming off the bye, London is averaging just 21.3 on the season.</p>



<p>However, if you have been watching the Falcons you know this can be accreddited more towards Penix&#8217;s early season struggles rather than London himself.</p>



<p>London is also coming off his best game of teh season to date where he recorded 8 catches, for 110 yards, a touchdown and 42 precious Supercoach points.</p>



<p>This is the player we saw at the end of last season, and the player most of us were expecting to start this season as well. </p>



<p>He is still the alpha reciever on this Falcons team, and I would not be surpised at all if he suddenly turns it on.</p>



<p>I understand if you do not want to take the risk and go early, but one to keep an eye on nonetheless.</p>



<a id='-HSha0FjS5tnQcgE-KF_rg' class='gie-single' href='https://www.gettyimages.com/detail/2238802136' target='_blank' style='color:#a7a7a7;text-decoration:none;font-weight:normal !important;border:none;display:inline-block;' rel="noopener">Embed from Getty Images</a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'-HSha0FjS5tnQcgE-KF_rg',sig:'qmOOSHExiFyzRsWNL2TIpFa885AiksLPo-13cZmBtt4=',w:'594px',h:'396px',items:'2238802136',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});</script><script src='//embed-cdn.gettyimages.com/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async></script>



<p><strong>Josh Jacobs </strong>(RB)<strong> </strong>$18,400,000 </p>



<p>With so many good options at the running back position, Jacobs has managed to fly under the radar.</p>



<p>Currently just 5% owned amongst top teams, the Green Bay running back could be a genuine trade in option if you wanted to be a bit different.</p>



<p>Jacobs is also coming off the bye, but before that was his best performance of the season where he racked up 59 Supercoach points on the back of 2 touchdowns.</p>



<p>That is honeslty his biggest selling point, his touchdown ability.</p>



<p>I saw a graph that showed the goal line attempts per game for running backs, and two players stood out from the rest. </p>



<p>One was Jonathan Taylor, the current RB1 in Supercoach, and the other, Josh Jacobs.</p>



<p>With his touchdown ability, Jacobs could be a genuine shout as a POD option for our Supercoach sides. </p>
