Zay Flowers was WR5 through two weeks, and Pete Nova names him his favorite buy of Week 6.

1. Top-10 Takeaways, a Player Profiler show, covers Week 6 of the NFL fantasy season in a live Monday-night episode recorded ahead of Monday Night Football. 2. Host Pete Nova of Player Profiler reviews injuries, buy and sell candidates and upcoming schedules, and closes with a viewer mailbag. 3. His central thesis is that several Week 6 breakouts, including Dowdle and Vidal, came against weak defenses and should be sold, while Zay Flowers and BTJ are targets. 4. After Puka Nakua left the Ravens game with a foot injury, Nova says Devante Adams could see "15 targets a game," and names Tyler Higbee (4 targets) as the likeliest tight end beneficiary, with three-tight-end sets jumping from 1.82% to 15.69%. 5. Nova argues Chuba Hubbard's opportunity share was 61% (23rd) before his injury versus 77.9% (fourth) in 2024, so he suggests trading Rico Dowdle, who had 475 all-purpose yards, before Hubbard returns. 6. He recommends selling Kamani Vidal (43 snaps, 22 routes, 21 touches, 138 yards) because the Dolphins allow the most explosive plays and the Colts are a tougher Week 7 matchup, while calling the Seahawks backfield "an absolute disaster" with Zach Charbonnet at 31 snaps per game and Kenneth Walker at 24. 7. Zay Flowers is his favorite buy: he was WR5 in PPR through two weeks, WR16 through four, and has good matchups in weeks 13-17, while Chase Brown's schedule (Baltimore twice, Buffalo, Miami, Arizona) makes him a cheap target. 8. BTJ posted 10 targets, 8 receptions, 90 yards and a touchdown for 23 fantasy points, and Nova ranks him a top-20 receiver rest of season on an 8-target-per-game, 23% target-share profile. 9. Ladd McConkey had 7 catches, 100 yards and 9 targets, and Nova points to the Chargers ranking second in pass rate over expected as a reason to expect more production. 10. Fantasy football managers weighing Week 7 trades and lineup decisions would get the most from this.
