This article is part of our DFS NFL series.
We're proud to partner with Locker for the 2024 fantasy football season. Locker is a new, exciting platform that offers a variety of free and paid contests, including Locker Picks and Locker Leagues.
Locker Leagues are an in-game contest where users predict the results of upcoming drives during an NFL game. It's a fun second-screen experience during any NFL game. We've launched the RotoWire League, which allows users to play Locker's in-game format against RotoWire experts and fans. The RotoWire League will run throughout the season and user's can join at anytime. Only your top 10 scores from the season will count against the standings, so there's still plenty of time to join and climb the leaderboard. If you sign up for Locker through RotoWire, use promo code WIRE and you'll receive a $50 deposit match.

In addition Locker's in-game contests, the platform also offers a More or Less Pick'em style format. I like to use my predictive ability in fantasy football on the Picks-style games and I'll be sharing my favorite Picks here each week.
Here are some of my favorite More or Less options for Week 6:
James Conner, RB, ARI - More than 70.5 rush yards
Conner has been the engine of the Cardinals offense this season. Aside from a game in which he faced an elite Lions' run defense, Conner has posted at least 86 yards three times since Week 2. This week, the running back will face a soft Green Bay rush defense that is giving up 4.64 yards per carry. Aside from Green Bay's matchup against Tennessee, the Packers have allowed opposing running backs to rush for at least 93 yards. Conner has a great chance of hitting 100 yards.
Derrick Henry, RB, BAL - More than 82.5 rush yards
Henry has recorded at least 84 yards in four straight games. It's looking like that streak will extend to five games in Week 6. On the season, the Commanders have not faced a difficult schedule of running backs, but Washington is still giving up 5.2 yards per carry. Both Devin Singletary and James Conner have posted at least 95 yards against this defense. In a game the Ravens are favored, Henry should be busy and productive.
Terry McLaurin, WR, WAS - Less than 57.5 receiving yards
McLaurin has been incredible in each of the last three games. In two of those contests, the receiver has reached the 100-yard mark. However, in each of McLaurin's recent games, defenses have either left him in single coverage, or had safeties that were unable to get over the top to limit big plays. The Ravens are a defense that is very likely to realize McLaurin is the only pass catcher to worry about on the Commanders, which should lead to tight coverage from a veteran secondary. In addition, Baltimore's defense is likely to put a safety over the top of McLaurin. This may not be a great week for the pass catcher.
Gabe Davis, WR, JAC - Less than 32.5 yards
In each of the last three games, Davis hasn't been much of a factor in the Jacksonville passing attack. During that time, he has failed to reach 30 receiving yards. Also, the veteran is averaging just 15 yards per contest. As the third option in the Jaguars' passing attack, and fourth if Evan Engram returns from injury, Davis is unlikely to see many targets. This week, Davis will face Chicago's elite pass defense. It seems improbable that the receiver will get on track in this matchup.
Rashod Bateman, WR, BAL - Less than 30.5 receiving yards
In weeks 3 and 4, when the Ravens were running the ball up-and-down the field, Lamar Jackson threw very few passes. Bateman averaged 2.5 targets and failed to reach 29 yards in those two contests. Sunday's matchup against Washington looks like another game in which Baltimore will be able to run the ball at will. Washington has allowed a ridiculous 5.2 yards per carry this season. Although the Commanders have an excellent pair of defensive tackles, dealing with Derrick Henry and Lamar Jackson is a unique challenge. As a result, it's unlikely that Bateman sees many targets this week in a game script that should have Baltimore running the ball early and often.
