The biggest problem with NFL fantasy football isn’t the availability of stars on a given team, but rather the sports betting ability to find the right matchup going head-to-head. While running back Adrian Peterson could break out with a massive performance in any given week, he could still have his bad days when the Minnesota Vikings are simply outmatched. Heading in to week six of the NFL regular season there are a couple of pickups that could provide a team with a spark, and it begins with Minnesota.

After struggling through the first four pay head weeks of the season, the Vikings came alive against the Arizona Cardinals, with Peterson sparking the offense in a major way. Peterson will be the focus of the Chicago Bears this week, and that leaves Donovan McNabb as an option to have a big game as a fantasy pickup. McNabb will be in the spotlight on NFL Sunday Night Football, and as long as Peterson is taking most of the defense’s attention he should be able to thrive. Another option to consider could be Curtis Painter of the Indianapolis Colts, as they travel to take on the Cincinnati Bengals. Painter has steadily improved in each week since being names the starter, and last week against the Kansas City Chiefs he threw for over 200 yards and two touchdowns without turning the ball over. The pickings will be slim at this point in the season, but for those desperate to add someone both McNabb and Painter should be available.
