I want to start off this article by saying you must have the absolute nuts to win the top prize up top on large field GPPs. There is no room for mistakes with so many entries in these contests. If you think you are going to win it all by playing a combo of the top seven guys in the player pool, you are not. If a combo of a bunch of guys you have heard of before is indeed the best scoring lineup, you will most likely tie for first. If that sounds good to you, then go for it. It will be profitable if you nail it, but for me I like to be a little different on these slates. I will be making multiple teams and taking long shots on a few cheap guys.
Leaving cash on the table in these NFL DFS contests is fine too. This makes your lineup even more unique and lower owned because a lot of amateurs will be pulling their hair out to use their entire salary.
That all being said, I have looked at every possible player that can get on the field and listed my picks below.
The NFL DFS Week 6 Sunday Night Showdown Picks
MVP: Keenan Allen ($14,00 FD): Should be an absolute target hog tonight against the Steelers.
MVP Pivot: Mike Williams ($10,500 FD): I like attacking the Steelers though the air tonight. Especially since the RB’s are splitting time.
MVP Pivot 2: Austin Ekeler ($14,000 FD): If he isn’t being used to rush he will be a large part of the passing game.
NFL DFS Flex Options:
Listed in order of preference with prices factored it
- Philip Rivers ($15,000 FD) I think Chargers win this game and it is easier to throw on the Steelers than run.
- Melvin Gordon ($12,000 FD) Should lead backs today for Chargers. His workload will be ramped up from last week. Expecting a TD.
- Chase McLaughlin ($9,000 FD) Chargers’ Kicker
- James Conor ($12,500 FD) Steelers should focus on running and check downs with their third string QB if they want any chance to win
- Mike Williams ($10,500 FD) Sneaky WR two on the Chargers, if Allen is getting double covered, it should go to Williams or Ekeler
- Austin Ekeler ($14,000 FD) Big threat in receiving game, will also get his share of running attempts
- JuJu Smith-Schuster ($13,500 FD) Pitt is going to have to throw it if this game plays out the way I think. Although he has been disappointing, he is still the WR1 for the Steelers
- Vance McDonald ($8,000 FD) Expecting check downs from Devlin Hodgers. Should see around 6-7 targets
- Hunter Henry ($7,000 FD) First game back from injury, talented TE but I dont think the Chargers lean on him too much tonight in an game they should win
- Diontae Johnson ($7,500 FD) Seems to be the next best passing option for the Steelers, who should be trailing
- Devlin Hodges ($12,500 FD) Pitt QB, boom or bust
On DraftKings I love the Chargers Defense
Punt:
- Nick Vannett – Steelers TE2. I think this week you can play both tight ends on Pitt because of how much they are going to have to throw
- Ryan Switzer – Steelers WR that will be asked to do more than normal with such a beat up team.
- Donte Moncrief – With injuries to Samuels and Washington, Moncrief is going to have to attempt to contribute
- Johnny Holton – Total Dart throw on a Pitt WR.
