With another 4-1 week, our record on USFL PrizePicks plays is now 12-3 over the three weeks we've published my picks. Now we turn our attention to our five picks for Week 6.

Week 6 USFL Picks
Reggie Corbin Over 45.5 Rush Yards
Panthers vs. Stallions, 7:30 p.m. ET on Saturday
Corbin has emerged from the early three-way committee to become the Panthers lead back. I’m projecting him for 20(!) yards more than this number and that's not even factoring in the hidden upside in both backups Stevie Scott and Cameron Scarlett are questionable for this week’s game. If either or both of those backs are ruled out, Corbin’s projection will only go up.
This is my favorite play of the week — and it’s not even close.
Confidence: 10 out of 10
Paul Terry Under 24.5 Rec Yards
Bandits vs. Stars, 1 p.m. ET on Saturday
Terry has seen an increase in playing time over the last four games due to Darnell Holland’s hamstring injury. Holland is expected to see an expanded role this week, which means we can expect Terry’s snaps to take a hit.
I’m projecting him closer to 17.5 receiving yards.
Confidence: 7 out of 10
Jordan Suell Under 40.5 Rec Yards
Bandits vs. Stars, 1 p.m. ET on Saturday
Diondre Overton has been ruled out, which means there will be extra targets to go around for Stars pass-catchers. However, I don’t expect Suell to benefit too much.
His playing time is already capped, and Chris Rowland and Maurice Alexander should both see a significant increase in snaps this week. Both receivers have commanded a higher target rate per route run than Overton, so you could argue that Overton’s injury negatively impacts Suell.
I’m projecting him closer to 32.5 yards this week.
Confidence: 6 out of 10
Bailey Gaither Under 13.5 Fantasy Points
Maulers vs. Breakers, noon ET on Sunday
Gaither is coming off one of the best USFL performances of the season in with eight catches for 108 yards and two touchdowns against the Breakers.
I expect Vad Lee and the Maulers passing offense to come back down to Earth this week, so Gaither would likely have to find the end zone in order to clear this number. Passing touchdowns are pretty hard to come by in the USFL, so this seems like the perfect time to “sell high” on Gaither.
I’m projecting him as a top-three wide receiver this week, but 11 PrizePicks points would be a more realistic median projection for him.
Confidence: 6 out of 10
Madre London Over 30.5 Rush Yards
Maulers vs. Breakers, noon ET on Sunday
Last week, it was Garrett Groshek who failed to complete a 5-0 sweep for my five-pick play when he failed to top 35.5 rushing yards. He has been below-average all season and made a couple bad plays (including a missed block in pass protection), which opened the door for London to take over as the lead back.
It would behoove head coach Kirby Wilson to stick with London as the lead back as he is the superior talent. I’m projecting London closer to 43.5 yards and his over is certainly my least confident play, though I still believe this has about 60% chance of hitting. As a result, I’ll also be doing a four-pick play of just the four props above.
Confidence: 5 out of 10
