Yahoo Daily Fantasy Football value picks for Week 6
Contents
Special to Yahoo Sports
The basis for being successful in any daily fantasy sports contest, whether cash games or large-field GPPs, is finding value to build around. Using 4for4’s Yahoo! DFS Value Report, we can uncover some of the best values at each position for the Week 6 main slate.
Quarterbacks
Taylor Heinicke, Football Team $28
The Chiefs field one of the worst defenses in the league in every metric, and Heinicke has been a suitable replacement at quarterback for Washington. He has managed to get 40 rushing yards in back-to-back games and thrown for over 240 yards three times this year. Vegas believes Washington will be able to score on the Chiefs with an implied team total over 24.
Joe Burrow, Bengals $28
The throat injury is concerning, but he gets the easiest matchup he has faced all season if he can give it a go. The Lions are giving up over 10 yards per passing attempt, and if Marquise Brown had not dropped a few touchdowns, this number would be even higher. Ja’Marr Chase, Tee Higgins, and Tyler Boyd should be open at all levels against this defense, giving Burrow plenty of opportunities to have a big game.
Running Backs
Devontae Booker, Giants $12
Booker should be in for the Wayne Gallman role from last season with Saquon Barkley out — with 20-touch upside at $12, it’s too hard to pass up. Booker took over for Barkley last week and got two touchdowns and 19 touches, three of which came from passing plays. The Rams are a good defense, but I am looking to spend down this week on a thin running back slate.

D’Andre Swift, Lions $20
Swift is averaging seven targets a game this year, running a route on 62% of plays, and this Lions team has been competitive this year. Swift has also managed four targets in the red zone and 12 carries inside the 20. His workload should continue to increase with some of the injuries to Detroit’s pass-catchers and his health getting better. The Lions are…
