Daily Fantasy College Football Week 6: DraftKings Value Guide and Top Sleepers
At this point in the season, there aren't a ton of unearthed sleepers. In Week 6, athletes have made their respective intentions known as prominent commodities.
When selecting a lineup, the money total is a main determiner in deciphering whether a player is a sleeper. Of course, the competition being faced by said players also goes into the selection process.
As such, here are five potential sleepers for Week 6 action. Each of the players in question should bring value to the table this week.

QB Seth Collins ($7,100)
The Oregon State Beavers' true freshman signal-caller has proven himself to be a very dynamic player early in his collegiate career.
Collins has thrown five touchdowns to only one interception through four games. He also has rushed for 306 yards and three touchdowns. Collins' ability to evade pressure with his legs is a special skill, and he's equally adept at executing zone-read opportunities.
Oregon State plays Arizona this weekend in Tucson. The Wildcats defense has given up 56 points and 55 points consecutively in the last two games. Arizona will also be without Scooby Wright III in the middle. Collins should be able to exploit a beleaguered Arizona defense with both his arm and his legs.
Taiwan Deal ($5,100)
The Wisconsin Badgers' big running back has had a solid year thus far and has been particularly productive in his last three games—averaging just shy of 100 yards on the ground.
He'll get a chance to put up a big stat line this weekend, as the Badgers face a shaky Nebraska team. Sitting at 2-3, the Cornhuskers are hurting considerably in the arena of confidence. To make matters worse, Nebraska ranks No. 101 in total defense.
Against a big and physical Wisconsin offensive line, that isn't a recipe for success. Deal should be able to break the 100-yard barrier with a score or two.
Qadree Ollison ($5,200)
The Pittsburgh Panthers' starting running back has the look of a future all-ACC performer.
Only a freshman, the 6'2", 230-pound back out of New York leads the Panthers in rushing touchdowns (three) and rushing yards (427) and has a 7.1 yards-per-carry average.
The Panthers will be facing a struggling Virginia team in desperate need of a victory. Ollison will try to rush on a defense allowing close to 160 yards rushing per contest.
Assuming Pitt gets out to an early lead, Ollison can expect to see plenty of carries.
Amara Darboh ($4,700)
The Michigan Wolverines' athletic and acrobatic receiver leads the team in receptions (23) and receiving yards (269).
His value comes on deep shots down the field from signal-caller Jake Rudock. More so than anyone else on Michigan's roster, he provides Jim Harbaugh with a deep threat vertically.
The contest versus the Northwestern Wildcats figures to be a tough, physical, low-scoring affair. Northwestern will undoubtedly try to take away Michigan's ground game. As a result, Darboh could see some favorable one-on-one matchups on the perimeter.
Additionally, his low money total ($4,700) makes him even more attractive from a fantasy standpoint.
Wayne Gallman ($5,700)
The Clemson Tigers back has been very consistent to begin the 2015 season.
In four games, Gallman has rushed for 408 yards and three touchdowns on only 75 carries. His biggest game of the year came versus the Louisville Cardinals, when he rushed for 139 yards on 24 carries.
Against the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets on Saturday, Gallman will likely get the rock a great deal of the time. He's averaged 23 carries the past two contests and faces a defense ranked No. 74 nationally against the run.
Playing at home, Clemson's top rusher should accrue good yardage in this contest.
