DraftKings NFL picks, Week 6: Best DFS bargains to target
By Drew DeLuca
Wide Receivers
There are a ton of great wide receiver matchups this week priced outside of the top 10. These include Demarcus Robinson (vs. HOU, $5,900), Calvin Ridley (at ARI, $5,700), Michael Gallup (at NYJ $5,600), and Adam Thielen, who is a must-start against an extremely weak and depleted Philadelphia Eagles defense at just $6,700. Below are breakdowns on a few other wide receivers you should target this week in DFS:
Stefon Diggs MIN (vs PHI, $5,900): The Eagles have given up big days to secondary wide receivers all season. Diggs has a chip on his shoulder to begin with, so expect him to bust out in a big way this weekend.
Tyler Boyd CIN (at BAL, $6,300): Let’s keep this simple: the Bengals won’t be winning this game, and Boyd is a target monster. Expect him to eat in garbage time like a hungry goat.
JuJu Smith-Schuster PIT (at LAC, $5,600): JuJu has seen seven or more targets in all but one game this season, so while he’s not seeing the kind of volume most expected, he’s hardly a forgotten man. He should bust out against a banged-up Chargers secondary that has lost its juice.
Geronimo Allison GB (vs. DET, $5,000): Rodgers has used Allison as a safety blanket in the past. It wouldn’t surprise anyone to see Allison reprise this role as Davante Adams sits and nurses his injured to back to health.
Honorable mentions include Mohamed Sanu (at ARI, $4,500), who should produce similarly to Robert Woods, but at a $1,100 discount) and Diontae Johnson (at LAC, $4,200), who enjoys a favorable matchup, as mentioned above.
Preston Williams (vs. WAS, $4,100) is an interesting but risky stack option with Rosen, and Byron Pringle (vs. HOU, $3,500) is a nice shiny object for those expecting lightning to strike twice in the same place in back-to-back home games.
Jamison Crowder (vs. DAL $4,000) is probably the one person on the planet most excited by Darnold’s return, given that he caught 14 passes in one game the last time they played together.
