UFL Week 6 DFS Picks 2025
Quarterback
Max Duggan – St. Louis Battlehawks, $9,900
Duggan made the start at quarterback for St. Louis last week replacing the injured Manny Wilkins. He instantly rewarded his coach’s decision to hand him the ball by leading his team to a 32-27 win over the Michigan Panthers. The former TCU Horned Frog signal caller completed 9 of his 12 pass attempts for 124 yards and a touchdown. However, his biggest contribution came from his legs which carried him 70 yards on 10 attempts and more importantly, 2 touchdowns. Duggan also led the Battlehawks in rushing.

St. Louis has the pleasure of taking on an Arlington defense that just surrendered 39.02 fantasy points to Jordan Ta’amu and the DC Defenders last week. The Renegades have given up the third-most passing yards this season. They are tied for third in terms of the most passing touchdowns allowed this year as well.
The Battlehawks faced the Renegades two weeks ago in a 30-15 loss to Arlington. Duggan entered on the second drive of the game. He was only able to earn 5.3 fantasy points for his efforts. However, he did gain most of them with his legs gaining 42 yards on 10 attempts. Look for him to play with more confidence this week. As a result he’ll have a much higher outlook heading into his second start.
Running Back
Toa Taua – Michigan Panthers, $5,800
Taua started to make some noise in Week 4 when he carried the ball 10 times for 53 yards and a touchdown against the Memphis Showboats. He followed up that performance last week with 74 yards and two touchdowns on 15 carries against the St. Louis Battlehawks. That outing was good for 23.2 fantasy points. It ended us as the highest output at the running back position for the week. He instantly slots in as the second-best back in terms of fantasy points per game with only 28 carries this year.

— Michigan Panthers (@USFLPanthers) April 27, 2025
The former Nevada ball carrier is in the best spot to take advantage of his matchup this week. He’s set to face a DC defense that just allowed Arlington’s Kalen Ballage to reach 15.5 fantasy points last week. The Defenders have given up the fourth-most rushing yards and the second-most rushing touchdowns this season.
Taua should continue to see plenty of work again this week. The Panthers are second only to the Battlehawks in terms of rushing attempts (148) and rushing yards per game (122.4) this season. His workload and lack of defensive resistance means you can feel confident going back to him this week.
Wide Receiver
Hakeem Butler – St. Louis Battlehawks, $7,300
In his first week back from his injury, Hakeem Butler reminded us why he is one of the best players in the league. The veteran caught only two of his four targets last week against the Panthers. However, he managed to gain 124 yards and score two touchdowns with those receptions. He is a great stacking option this week considering he benefits from the same statistical advantage as his quarterback who he clearly connected with last week.

In 2024, Butler led the UFL in receiving yards. He had the most touchdowns in the XFL in the 2023 season. He’s out to reestablish himself as the biggest threat on the field. It looks like he just may do that with what should be another productive outing this week.
DST
Birmingham Stallions $4,500
Most of the top defensive options this week have tougher matchups. This has us going back to Birmingham for the second week in a row. It’s not without merit though. The Stallions have allowed the fewest total points this season (79). They are giving up the fewest points per game (15.8) as well. In a perfect storm moment, they take on the San Antonio this week. The Brahmas have scored the fewest points all year (68) and are putting up just 13.6 points per game this year.
Birmingham defensive end Bradlee Anae is tied for the second-most sacks in the league this season. He’ll get to tee off against an offensive line that has allowed the second-most sacks this season.

Without a lot of points to drag their base scoring down, there should be nowhere to go but up for the Stallions. The ceiling is high as well considering the Houston Roughnecks touched the Brahmas up for 21 fantasy points last week.
