Week 6 DFS Prop Picks

Parker Washington More than 61.5 Receiving Yards

Parker Washington has emerged as a productive option in Jacksonville’s passing game, recording 352 receiving yards and four touchdowns on 22 receptions through five games. He is averaging 16.0 yards per catch, showing he can generate big gains on relatively few catches.

Washington has cleared 61.5 receiving yards in three of his first five games, including 83 yards in Week 1, 98 in Week 2 and 124 in Week 5. His recent 124-yard performance against Philadelphia offers a strong example of his upside, making this an appealing number to target against Houston

Drake Maye More than 233.5 Passing Yards

Drake Maye is coming off his best passing performance of the season, throwing for 374 yards and four touchdowns against Las Vegas in Week 5. He completed 26 of 34 attempts, averaging 11.0 yards per attempt while avoiding an interception.

Maye has thrown for 1,228 yards through five games, averaging 245.6 passing yards per contest. While he fell short of 233.5 yards in three of his first four outings, his back-to-back performances of 269 and 374 yards show the upside he brings into the matchup with the Jets. He’ll need to maintain that recent passing efficiency to clear this line.

Jonathan Taylor More than 1.5 Anytime Touchdowns

Jonathan Taylor has demonstrated significant scoring potential early this season, recording six rushing touchdowns through five games. He scored twice against Baltimore in Week 1, added two more against Kansas City in Week 2, and scored twice again against Washington in Week 4.

Taylor’s workload gives him multiple opportunities to reach the end zone, particularly near the goal line. He carried the ball 20 times for 95 yards against Washington and scored on two five-yard runs. However, this prop requires at least two touchdowns, so even his strong scoring record makes it a higher-variance play than a standard rushing-yardage line.

Tetairoa McMillan More than 69.5 Receiving Yards

Tetairoa McMillan has delivered a strong start to his 2026 campaign, totaling 385 receiving yards on 26 receptions through four games. His 14.81 yards per catch highlights his big-play ability, while his 96.3 receiving yards per game put him comfortably above the 69.5-yard threshold on average.

McMillan’s ceiling was on full display in Week 4 against Detroit, when he hauled in 14 passes for 192 yards and two touchdowns. He also recorded 101 yards against Atlanta in Week 2. Those performances show he can clear this line through a combination of consistent targets and explosive plays, although his 17-yard outing against Cleveland in Week 3 illustrates the potential for a quieter game.

Javonte Williams More than 67.5 Rushing Yards

Javonte Williams has received a substantial workload in Dallas, carrying the ball 74 times for 276 yards and six touchdowns through five games. He is averaging 14.8 carries per game, with his 98-yard performance against Baltimore in Week 3 serving as his best rushing outing so far.

Williams has also shown that he can take advantage of a heavier workload, recording 19 carries in each of Weeks 3 and 4. However, he has averaged just 55.2 rushing yards per game this season and has surpassed 67.5 yards only once in five contests. The key against Green Bay will be whether Dallas gives him enough carries to overcome that season-long average.
