DraftKings Fantasy Football Picks: Best NFL Week 6 Values

Running Back

Lamar Miller, Texans ($6,500): Speaking of the Texans playing the Colts, Lamar Miller remains very good at this whole moving the ball thing. So when he’s going to be playing an Indy defense that couldn’t stop a slow high-school fullback, I think that his combination of ground game and receiving game is going to result in him have a day worth well over his $6,500 valuation.

Jordan Howard, Bears ($6,200): Jordan Howard has been the rookie sensation coming out of nowhere for the Bears this season. He runs with power and does it well. The Bears have a matchup with a shaky, young Jaguars defense this week. While I think Jacksonville will look their best all season, Howard should still have success.

Ryan Mathews, Eagles ($4,900): There’s a risk here in that Doug Pederson might punish his running back for a costly late-game fumble last week. However, Mathews still looks like the feature back and the Redskins are atrocious at defending the run. I think Mathews could be in store for a game that has him as a top-10 running back in DFS scoring.

Jalen Richard, Raiders ($3,800): Another risk here, but Latavius Murray has already been ruled out for the Raiders. That leaves Jalen Richard and DeAndre Washington splitting the work in the backfield. Though timeshares are a bear to deal with, Richard has been explosive and one big play could make having him in the lineup worthwhile.
