DraftKings Picks Week 6: NFL DFS lineup advice for cash games | Sporting News

So, you’re telling me I can’t just lock Christian McCaffrey this week? I was getting ready to do that and log off, but apparently he’s not on the main slate because of an early London game. CMC exploded for our DraftKings cash lineup last week, and we also got really into Chark Week. We should’ve targeted the Jets with Eagles D/ST, but we’ll continue to strive to get better with our Week 6 NFL DFS picks.

Let’s spend that $50K in DraftKings cap while finding a CMC-esque smash elsewhere.

WEEK 6 NON-PPR RANKINGS:
Quarterback | Running back | Wide receiver | Tight end | D/ST | Kicker

DraftKings Week 6 Picks: NFL DFS cash lineup

QB Kyler Murray, Cardinals vs. Falcons ($6,500). Murray already possessed a decent floor even before increasing his rush volume over the past two weeks when he trails only Lamar Jackson in yards. A lack of touchdowns for his level of produciton also bodes well for positive regression.

RB Alvin Kamara, Saints @ Jaguars ($8,000): It’s counterintuitive that Kamara sees his cheapest price of the season right after Teddy Bridgewater showed he can raise the tide for this offense from previous weeks. The Saints posted 457 total yards last week after failing to crack 270 in Bridgewater’s three other games. 

WEEK 6 PPR RANKINGS: Running back | Wide receiver | Tight end

RB Leonard Fournette, Jaguars vs. Saints ($6,700). Vegas projects this for around a pick ’em, so plenty of neutral game script should be in the cards for both running backs. We like the spots for each. Over the past four weeks, Fournette ranks second among RBs in carries and fourth in targets.

WR Tyler Lockett, Seahawks @ Browns ($6,400). Lockett’s 29 receptions rank fifth among receivers since Week 2, and he faces a Cleveland defense battling injuries at CB. He’s a boom-bust candidate no longer, and his ceiling is 30-plus DK points when positive game script doesn’t dominate as it did the past two weeks. 

WR Tyler Boyd, Bengals @ Ravens ($6,300). The Ravens’ erstwhile scary pass defense is clearly now one to target in DFS. Only the Falcons have allowed more yards per pass over the past three weeks. Meanwhile, Boyd trails only Cooper Kupp in targets over the span.

WR Robert Woods, Rams vs. 49ers ($5,600). Only Kupp has seen more targets than Woods since Week 3 — across the entire league. That makes this mid-tier price intriguing on its own, and the $1,500 discount from Kupp gets us a Rams passing share with cap to survive at FLEX, which could be tough on this slate for cash.

TE Gerald Everett, Rams vs. Niners ($3,600). As Kupp rockets into the $7K range, Woods and Everett find their prices relatively stagnant. We’ll capitalize by paying almost nothing for a tight end who ranks fourth in targets over the past two weeks, one behind Travis Kelce and Evan Engram.

FLEX Courtland Sutton, Broncos vs. Titans ($5,000). Tennessee ranks 10th against receivers in DraftKings points allowed. However, we get ideal floor at the FLEX as Sutton has seen at least seven targets in all five games this season.

DST Cardinals vs. Falcos ($1,900). Basement price for a defense facing interception leader Matt Ryan, who can pile up yards while still getting us to 3X value with our D/ST.
