Week 6 FanDuel Quarterbacks - NFL DFS Lineup Picks
Joe Burrow - at NYG ($8,100)
Cincinnati has only one win this season. On the bright side, the Bengals lost each of their four games by six points or less, so there is reason to believe the team can turn things around.
In all fairness, Burrow hasn’t been the problem. Although he had a slow start to the year, he’s thrown at least two touchdowns in the Bengals’ previous four contests.

The 27-year-old had a stellar showing in the Week 5 overtime loss to the Ravens, tossing five touchdowns and nearly 400 yards. He also completed 76.9% of his attempts.
While Burrow isn’t expected to duplicate the performance he had versus Baltimore in the clash with the Giants, he’s one of the best DFS quarterbacks available in Week 6.
Daniel Jones – vs. CIN ($6,800)
Despite the Giants' struggles this season, Jones has been decent. He’s thrown for 1,138 yards, six touchdowns, and three picks while completing 64.0% of his attempts.

Granted, those numbers don’t exactly make him a trustworthy fantasy option. But the upside is there against a Bengals defense that has struggled as of late.
Also Consider: Jayden Daniels ($8,700), Dak Prescott ($8,000)
Week 6 FanDuel Running Backs - NFL DFS Lineup Picks
Bijan Robinson - at CAR ($8,500)
It’s safe to say most assumed Robinson would have been more productive through the Falcons’ first five contests. Unfortunately, that hasn’t happened.
The 22-year-old hasn’t gone for over 100 yards on the ground, and he also has just one touchdown. Still, there’s hope for Robinson, especially with a Week 6 matchup against a Panthers defense that has been horrendous against the run, allowing nine touchdowns, the most in the National Football League.
Be aware that he is dealing with a hamstring issue. But this isn’t anything new, so Robinson should be good to go.
Zack Moss/Chase Brown - at NYG ($6,500, $5,400)
Zack Moss didn’t practice on Wednesday. But he returned for Thursday’s session, although he was a limited participant.
The same was true for Brown, who is battling a quadriceps injury. With that said, Brown and Moss aren’t a lock to suit up for Sunday’s clash with the New York Giants.
However, both men have a place in DFS lineups if they are, considering they have combined for six touchdowns this season. At the same time, if one of them is ruled out, the other’s ceiling would rise substantially.
Also Consider: Alvin Kamara ($8,800), Tony Pollard ($7,000), Trey Sermon ($6,000 – if Jonathan Taylor doesn’t play), Austin Ekeler ($5,700 – if Brian Robinson Jr. doesn’t play)
Week 6 FanDuel Wide Receivers - NFL DFS Lineup Picks
Amon-Ra St. Brown - at DAL ($9,000)
St. Brown began the 2024-25 campaign by catching three passes for 13 yards. Yet, he had 11 grabs in the Week 2 loss to the Buccaneers, and he’s also found the end zone in each of his previous two appearances.
Without question, the Cowboys defense is one of the best in the league, at least on paper. But the unit is banged up at the moment, with Trevon Diggs, Eric Kendricks, Nick Vigil, and Micah Parsons missing practice during the week.
If one or more of those guys are out, the Cowboys could be in for a long day versus a potent Lions offense. On the other hand, St. Brown is a lock for DFS lineups even if all of those players are available.
Drake London - at CAR ($7,400)
The Panthers defense hasn’t only had issues controlling the run, but the unit has also allowed eight touchdowns to opposing wideouts, one of the worst marks in the NFL. As a result, London and the rest of the Falcons pass-catchers may thrive.
The 2022 No. 8 overall pick looked good in the Week 5 overtime victory over the Bucs, bringing in 12 of his 13 targets for 154 yards and a touchdown. London may have momentum on his side for this favorable matchup, making him one of the best DFS options in Week 6.
Terry McLaurin - at BAL ($6,800)
It took McLaurin and Jayden Daniels a few weeks to get on the same page. But that has changed, with the wideout going for over 100 yards and finding the end zone in two of his last three contests.

Look for McLaurin to remain involved in Week 6 against a Ravens defense that has allowed eight touchdowns to opposing wide receivers in 2024-25.
Also Consider: Ja'Marr Chase ($9,500), Jayden Reed ($7.700), Chris Godwin ($7,500), Wan'Dale Robinson ($6,300 – if Malik Nabers doesn’t play), Jakobi Meyers ($5,700)
Week 6 FanDuel Tight Ends - NFL DFS Lineup Picks
Brock Bowers – vs. PIT ($6,700)
Bowers began his rookie year by combining for 15 receptions for 156 yards. He cooled off in Weeks 3 and 4. However, the 21-year-old was awesome in Week 5 against Denver, amassing eight catches (12 targets) for 97 yards.

He also caught the first touchdown of his career. It’s no secret things are chaotic in Vegas at the moment. Still, Bowers should remain the No. 1 target versus the Steelers.
Also Consider: Sam LaPorta ($6,400), Jake Ferguson ($6,100)
