Daily Fantasy Football Week 6: Best DraftKings Values, Last-Minute Picks

You've got to love the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 6 if you're a DraftKings player. Two of the best player values should come from the Bengals roster. It starts under center with quarterback Andy Dalton ($5,700).

He has 1,518 passing yards, 11 touchdowns, just two interceptions and he's had two 30-plus DK fantasy points performances so far this season. That includes his 31.04-point output against the Seattle Seahawks in Week 5.

Per DraftKings data, that was the highest fantasy performance from a quarterback against the Seahawks in two seasons. Needless to say, Dalton is on a roll. In Week 6, he and the Bengals face a team that doesn't figure to have what it takes to slow him down.

The Buffalo Bills are 24th in passing yards allowed per game. They could potentially find themselves at Dalton and Co.'s mercy.

One of Dalton's favorite targets during this stretch has been tight end Tyler Eifert ($4,900). In the last two games, Eifert had 11 receptions for 159 yards and two scores. He leads the team in touchdown receptions and has been targeted 36 times this year.

There are four tight ends priced higher than Eifert, but none will deliver as much bang for the virtual buck. Who else lands on the ideal DK lineup for Week 6? Here's a look at the selections. Just below the table is a closer look at three more high-value picks.

Pos.	Player	Opponent	Salary
QB	Andy Dalton	Buffalo	$5,700
RB	Devonta Freeman	New Orleans	$7,000
RB	Chris Ivory	Washington	$5,100
WR	Julio Jones	New Orleans	$9,200
WR	Miles Austin	NY Giants	$3,200
WR	A.J. Green	Buffalo	$7,600
TE	Tyler Eifert	Buffalo	$4,900
FLEX	Stefon Diggs	Kansas City	$3,500
DST	Broncos	Cleveland	$3,700

Chris Ivory ($5,100)

The New York Jets' Chris Ivory has been one of the most consistent DK performers at running back this season. In three games, he has rushed for 314 yards and scored three touchdowns. He's had 23-plus fantasy points twice.

Ivory and the Jets face Washington on Sunday, and that could be great for New York's running back. Washington is allowing 4.4 yards per carry so far this season. That's good for 21st in the league.

With Washington's inability to stop the ground game, you can almost bet Jets head coach Todd Bowles will dial up a game plan in which Ivory figures prominently. For just over $5,000, Ivory is a steal in Week 6.

Miles Austin ($3,200)

This one is a bit of a gamble, as Miles Austin has only been targeted 12 times this season. However, this game between the Philadelphia Eagles and New York Giants projects to be a high-scoring affair. 

Austin was a no-show for DK players who thought he'd follow up his 13.1-point performance from Week 4 against Washington with another decent day. It wasn't to be in Week 5 against the New Orleans Saints, but there's reason to optimistic in Week 6.

The G-Men are dead last against the pass this season, and that should create some opportunities for Eagles QB Sam Bradford to find his receivers. Because Bradford found a rhythm with 603 passing yards in the last two weeks, and because the Giants are so bad in the area of pass defense, this figures to be a big day through the air for the Eagles.

That creates the possibility for Austin to get at least a piece of the passing pie.

Stefon Diggs ($3,500)

He's only played one game, but Stefon Diggs is already beginning to establish himself in the Minnesota Vikings offense. Against a tough Denver Broncos defense in Week 4, Diggs caught six passes for 87 yards. With the way Denver's defense has played this season, that's a significant accomplishment.

In Week 6, he and the Vikes will host the reeling Kansas City Chiefs. K.C. lost a heartbreaker to the Chicago Bears in Week 5. The Chiefs allowed 15 unanswered points, with Jay Cutler tossing two touchdown passes in the fourth quarter.

In light of that, Teddy Bridgewater should be eager to take a crack at the Chiefs defense. Diggs is a big-play receiver with three of his six catches going for 20-plus yards. Bridgewater also targeted him 10 times in his lone game.

With no one clearly establishing himself as the go-to receiver, you have to like the chemistry Bridgewater and Diggs are generating. Expect an even bigger game this week from Diggs.
