The King’s Week 6 NFL DFS Plays

189

Here are some of Scott Engel’s favorite Week 6 NFL DFS playsfor the main slate. In many cases, these are quality value picks to help you spendup for the superstars you want. Prices are based on DraftKings.

Week 6 NFL DFS Quarterbacks

Kirk Cousins vs. PHI ($5,200): The best value on the board at the position. There was a passing revival in Minnesota last week and the Eagles are third in the NFC in passing yards allowed. It’s not going to get any better for Philly against the Vikings WRs.

Case Keenum vs. MIA ($5,000): This may be a popular play against the Dolphins, who have allowed the most Fantasy Points Per Game to opposing QBs. Keenum does have a pair of 300-yard outings already so it makes sense. I would not start him in a seasonal league but you should certainly roll out some Keenum-anchored DFS lineups and load up at other positions. Keenum has the lowest salary of any starting NFC QB this week.

Week 6 NFL DFS Running Backs

Mark Ingram vs. CIN ($6,600): I keep popping him into these articles because the prices remain friendly. Ingram has a great draw against the Bengals, who have allowed the most receiving yards and second-most rushing yards to opposing RBs.

Derrick Henry vs. DEN ($6,100): He may not catch passes and that will drive his ownership down. But he has scored in every game but one this season. He is nearly a guaranteed six points every week. The Broncos have allowed the fifth-most rushing yards in the AFC this season.

Carlos Hyde vs. KC ($4,400): He could have his best game as a Texan and may not have much ownership. Hyde has scored in two of his past three games and the Chiefs have allowed the most rushing yards in the NFL.

Week 6 NFL DFS Wide Receivers

Stefon Diggs vs. PHI ($5,900): Last week Adam Thielen was heavily in the game flow to satisfy him. Now it will be Diggs’ turn.

Michael Gallup vs. NYJ ($5,600): In my eyes, he has already arrived as a star. The Jets will not be able to handle what is arguably the best WR duo in the NFC.

DeVante Parker vs. WAS ($4,200): The Redskins allow the third most FFPG to opposing WRs and have surrendered the second-most TD passes to the position (nine). Parker has occasionally flashed some big-play form this season.

Week 6 NFL DFS Tight Ends

Ricky Seals-Jones vs. SEA ($3,300): The Seahawks have allowed the third-most FFPG to opposing TEs. RSJ can get some opportunities to catch passes vs. the safeties, which may be the weakest link of the Seattle defense right now.

Jordan Akins vs. KC ($3,200): Deshaun Watson has actively been looking for his TEs in scoring situations. Last week it was Darren Fells, this week it could be Akins. The Texans have been trying to get the TEs more involved in the passing game and the TD chances are good in a shootout. Akins is worth a punt play.
