Need help setting your DFS lineup for NFL Week 6? Check out our DraftKings Millionaire Maker squad for Sunday, October 13. Enjoy the games this week, folks!
QB Jordan Love (GB) $6600
Since returning from injury, Jordan Love has been a rather fun watch. After scoring four touchdowns en route to a near comeback victory against Minnesota in Week 4, he followed that up with a terrible pick 6, yet 2 touchdowns in a win against the Rams last week in Los Angeles.
The inconsistency should fade away as he gets his footing back. The Cardinals are coming off a big win in San Francisco, but the defense still looks weak.
With all of the Packers receiving options healthy, I’m expecting Love to have a big first half and continue some of that positive momentum from the end of the Minnesota and end of the Los Angeles games.
RB Tony Pollard (TEN) $6000
Tony Pollard has quietly produced for the Tennessee Titans. Although the team is struggling, Pollard has still averaged over 4 YPC on the ground while totaling 78 touches through four games.
Post bye week and rested up, I’m expecting the Titans to try and run all over the Colts, who are coming off a tough loss against Jacksonville where they were scored on with ease.
Expect Pollard to total 20 attempts and once again find the end zone. The Colts allow the most attempts and 4th most rushing yards to opposing running backs thus far.
RB Bucky Irving (TB) $5400
Although the Saints defense started off the season strong, they have faltered as of late, allowing big games to Kareem Hunt and in the receiving game to Bijan Robinson the week before.
Bucky Irving of the Bucs has taken over plenty of Rachaad White touches over the last few weeks, going for 12/11/11 touches in the Bucs’ last three outings. A power runner that can also push the ball outside the numbers, Irving is the change of pace playmaker Tampa has been looking for.
After averaging over 5.6 YPC this season, they will continue to feed him the football, especially in the red zone. New Orleans has allowed a bottom-ten 4.7 YPC to running backs through five games.
WR Stefon Diggs (HOU) $7400
Without Nico Collins on the field, Stefon Diggs is automatically a WR1 play against New England this week. Diggs has been Stroud’s go-to target in short distances, only averaging 7.7 YPT so far.
Stefon has caught 31 passes even with Collins on the field and furthermore, he’ll be facing a New England defense that has given up some big plays to wideouts throughout the young season. This could be Diggs’ breakout game in a Texan uniform.
WR Chris Godwin (TB) $6900
Speaking of consistent targets, Chris Godwin returning to a slot role has opened up this Bucs offense. Godwin has scored 3 times while catching 32 of his 40 targets this season.
In what could become a back-and-forth game against New Orleans should Derek Carr play, Godwin will take the lesser of the two Saints corners and automatically serve as Mayfield’s top target.
Last season against New Orleans, Godwin went for over 100 yards in their early season matchup and 81 yards plus a score in their Week 17 bout. This is a must-play in your Week 6 lineup.
WR Romeo Doubs (GB) $5200
Doubs is coming back from a team suspension and although he isn’t the eye-catching name on this Packers offense, he is still a top-tier red zone target.
Romeo scored 8 touchdowns in 17 games last season and although he’s had a quiet 2024 campaign, his 14 YPC rate ranks among the top of the Packer squad. Arizona has allowed 8 FPPG in the red zone to wideouts as their cornerback trio ranks among the bottom of the league so far.
In what could become a high scoring game at Lambeau, take a shot at Doubs to become a top red zone threat for Green Bay once again.
TE Isaiah Likely (BAL) $4500
Speaking of red zone targets, Isaiah Likely has served as Lamar Jackson’s top red zone threat in 2024, scoring three times.
Although his production has dipped after his 9/111/1 game in Week 1’s opener against Kansas City, Likely still brings a TE/WR hybrid playstyle to Baltimore that will succeed against a team like Washington, who do not have a ton of playmakers on defense.
Washington hasn’t faced a legitimate tight end threat yet this season as David Njoku was banged up in Week 5 and Trey McBride absent due to injury in Week 4. Likely is the X-factor against Washington in what could become a classic.
FLX Darnell Mooney (ATL) $5300
Hello Darnell Mooney! A sleeper of ours to begin the season, Darnell Mooney has lived up to the hype by scoring 3 touchdowns on 24 catches this season.
Mooney ranks 15th in total points in PPR formats and coming off his best game of his young career, gets to face the Carolina Panthers.
Carolina allows 1.6 touchdowns per game to opposing wideouts and with Kirk Cousins throwing the ball around 35-40 times in this game, look for Mooney to succeed in outperforming his projection again against an undesirable defense.
DST Buccaneers $2600
With Derek Carr’s status up in the air, take the Bucs defense at this salary on DK before it’s too late. The Bucs were great against New Orleans in their early-season matchup last season accounting for an interception, 2 fumble recoveries, and just 197 total yards on 9 points scored.
Even if Carr plays, this divisional matchup is due to get physical and short yardage gains and 1st downs will be more frequent than big plays.
Already with 6 forced fumbles, 3 picks, and 12 sacks this season, take Tampa to defeat this sliding Saints offense in the dome.
