NFL Week 6 Daily Fantasy Value Plays – Let’s Get It On!
Quarterbacks:
Carson Palmer (ARI, FD: $7,100, DK: $6,100) vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Big arms, deep balls and palpable excitement! Carson Palmer has been causing mayhem as he's been matched up against below-average defenses, this week facing off against the Bucs who've given up the fifth-most points to QBs. Just keep an eye on those deep shots as Arians will be chasing TDs until he gets a shoe-print on Palmer's arm.
(*Caution -- Cardinal sin alert! Don't overlook Palmer's TD drought, keeping prices nice and reasonable for us ballers.)
Jacoby Brissett (IND, FD: $6,800, DK: $5,800) at Tennessee Titans
After notching his first-career 300-yard passing game, Brissett followed it up with a QB9 performance against the 49ers. Despite Jay Cutler's poor showing against the Titans, they've still given up the third-most fantasy points to quarterbacks. Whether Marcus Mariota's status is up in the air, or not, the Colts are set to be underdogs on the road, ensuring plenty of points are on deck for Brissett to "Brise" the bank.
Running Backs:
Mark Ingram (NO, FD: $5,900, DK: $4,400) and Alvin Kamara (NO, FD: $5,800, DK: $4,500) vs. Detroit Lions
The Lions may have sent Adrian Peterson to the desert, but Ingram and Kamara are about to ride into town and take over! The Saints are coming in off a bye, ready to put up big numbers against a porous Detroit D, giving both these dynamic backs plenty of opportunities to make some serious bank!
(*Big money alert! Check the status of Bilal Powell and Matt Forte, as their injuries could unlock even more potential for Ingram and Kamara.)
Jerick McKinnon (MIN, FD: $5,600, DK: $4,100) vs. Green Bay Packers
Get ready for McKinnon mania as this sixth-round pick showed off his blinding speed and elusiveness against the Bears. With Green Bay giving up 100+ yards per game to running backs, McKinnon is primed to deliver a strong performance as the undisputed lead back for the Vikings!
Elijah McGuire (NYJ, FD: $5,700, DK: $4,600) vs. New England Patriots
This talented rookie had 16 carries for 95 yards and a TD last week, and he's set to shock the world as Bilal Powell and Matt Forte nurse injuries. With the Patriots getting gashed on the ground, McGuire is ready to tear through their D and get you in the green!
Wide Receivers:
DeSean Jackson (TB, FD: $6,400, DK: $5,800) at Arizona Cardinals
This week’s matchup doesn't get any sweeter for DeSean! He's set to take on the Cardinals, who've given up the fifth-most points to wideouts, leaving Patrick Peterson to guard Mike Evans, giving 'Sean Jackson a golden opportunity to blast past Vernon Hargreaves and blow up the scoreboard!
John Brown (ARI, FD: $6,300, DK: $4,500) vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
No need to wait for Hargreaves to let his guard down, because John Brown's here to take advantage now! The Bucs have been shaky in coverage, and Brown's speed and talents ensure he can catch up to even the deepest throws. With FanDuel having a lower price tag, Brown is a no-brainer for your lineup!
Jermaine Kearse (FD: $6,100, DK: $4,800) vs. New England Patriots
When things go bad in the NE Patriots, players have a tendency to find their way to Kearse! With the Pats facing off against the Jets, Kearse is primed to haul in plenty of passes as the Jets are likely to be forced into the air to stay competitive.
Tight Ends:
Evan Engram (NYG, FD: $5,300, DK: $3,800) vs. Denver Broncos
While their offenses may not be firing on all cylinders, the Broncos still can't seem to cover tight ends, giving Engram a prime chance to catch plenty of passes from Eli Manning and send your opponents running for cover!
George Kittle (SF, FD: $5,300, DK: $3,400) at Washington Redskins
This matchup has "shutdown" written all over it, if not for Kittle's talent and potential! The rookie from Iowa posted an impressive performance last week and shows no signs of slowing down. Kyle Shanahan will ensure the Redskins feel the full force of Kittle, so don't go soft on your lineup and get 'em in there!
