Week 6 is here and we’re going to guide you on who to play to win cash in DFS this week. It’s going to be a great Sunday of NFL action and I’m excited to go over all the different plays for this weeks NFL DFS slate. Remember to keep up with injury news, weather conditions, and any other late breaking news that will affect DFS starting lineups. Now, let’s get into week 6’s plays.
Quarterbacks:
I’m not messing around at QB this week, Jameis is in every one of my lineups. I love his matchup and his price point. His salary allows us to get studs in at other positions. Ryan, Roethlisberger, and Dalton have great matchups as well today and should put up big numbers. My favorite cheap plays are, Russell Wilson and Baker Mayfield. These two could bust out this week and put up solid numbers. They have great matchups against bad defenses and the weapons to take advantage.
Matt Ryan
Ben Roethlisberger
Andy Dalton
Jameis Winston
Russell Wilson
Baker Mayfield
Running Backs:
A lot of great options at running back this week, and I love the ability it gives you to build different styles of lineups. You can pay up this week and get studs in your lineup, or you can play value to give you the ability to pay up at Wide Receiver. My favorite play at running back this week is, Melvin Gordon. He gets a huge amount of touches every week and he will be leaned on heavily against the Browns, on the road. My favorite cheap plays are: Chris Carson, Ito Smith, and Ronald Jones. In my opinion, Carson is a must play this week. Excellent matchup, huge volume, and very affordable.
Melvin Gordon
Todd Gurley
Marshawn Lynch
Joe Mixon
TJ Yeldon
Ezekiel Elliot
Tevin Coleman
Ito Smith
Chris Carson
Mike Davis
Ronald Jones
* Late add– Lat Murray- Delvin Cook is out. Murray should see a nice workload and faces a terrible run defense.
Wide Receivers:
Pay up, Pay down, mix and match. Wide Receiver has so many options this week, it makes it great to build rosters however you like. All the studs have great matchups this week and I could see all of them putting up huge numbers. You will want to also get as many pieces from the Falcons-Bucs game and Steelers-Bengals game in your lineups. All those receivers have great matchups. My favorite cheap plays of the week are, Chris Godwin and Chester Rogers. The Falcons defense is decimated and this game will be a shoot out, Godwin will get his share. Rogers has had 22 targets over the last two weeks and he will get his looks this week against a susceptible Jets secondary.
Antonio Brown
Julio Jones
AJ Green
Mike Evans
Jarvis Landry
Tyler Boyd
DeSean Jackson
John Brown
JuJu Smith-Schuster
Calvin Ridley
Doug Baldwin
Tyler Lockett
Chester Rogers
Chris Godwin
Tight Ends:
Tight end is garbage this week. I’m going with CJ Uzomah and Niles Paul in my lineups this week. Uzomah is playing the Steelers, who ranks dead last against the tight end position. I really like Paul’s upside, especially after getting 9 targets last week.
CJ Uzomah
Niles Paul
Austin Hooper
Vance McDonald
*Nick Vannett- Do not play, ruled out.
Defense:
The Titans D and Bears D is who I’m locking in this week. Titans are at home and cheap. The Bears are on the road but get to face Brock Osweiler. Sign me up!
