Neighbor Mike's Week 6 Draft Kings Picks
Moving into Week 6, Neighbor Mike – literally Kyle’s neighbor, named Mike – is back with the best value picks in Draft Kings’ daily fantasy leagues.
Play Draft Kings in Week 6. Our 150-person CB league is filled, but there are plenty of other options. If you sign up to play and challenge Kyle head-to-head – bdncb1 – for $5 or less, he’ll accept. Use these picks, use your own, just don’t get all mad when your picks bust. Create your team here.
QB
1) Peyton Manning
DEN@CLE
$6600
It’s weird picking Peyton as a value play, but that’s where he is these days. Cleveland gets lit up by QBs, and Haden probably won’t play. Use him.
2) Sam Bradford
NYG@PHI
$6000
Somebody woke up Sleepy Sam from his slumber. Threw some ugly passes last week but offense is starting to heat up. Look for 20+ QB points.
3) Brian Hoyer
HOU@JAX
$5100
Huge value for a guy with DeAndre Hopkins and Arian Foster catching balls from him. Could be a shootout, and he’s actually looked good.
RB
1) Eddie Lacey
SD@GB
$6300
Sooner than later Lacy will get it going. Looks like a good week with SD ranked 31st against RBs. With a $6300 price tag, have some faith this week.
2) Danny Woodhead
SD@GB
$4700
Could be playing from behind all day so look for Woodhead to be on the field a lot
3) Duke Johnson
DEN@CLE
$4500
He’s averaging seven targets his last three games, and with Crowell iffy, they might finally ride him against Denver who is ranked 25th against backs.
WR
1) T.Y. Hilton
NE@IND
$6500
Should be a big time shootout with bad secondary play. Gets Luck back and still looking for his breakout day. It’ll happen Sunday.
2) Jarvis Landry
MIA@TEN
$6200
Target monster. He’s not flashy but he gets his.
3) Anquan Boldin
BAL@SF
$4300
Boldin is the kind of player who seems to save his best for big games. I’m thinking playing against the team who traded him is one of those games.
TE
1) Antonio Gates
SD@GB
$4600
Keep riding him before his price tag explodes.
2) Jordan Cameron
MIA@TEN
$3000
I’m willing to bet that his new coach, who used to be a tight end, will use the tight end. And Cameron is a good one to use.
3) Zach Ertz
NYG@PHI
$2900
Finally saw life last week. Now they get the Giants who are 30th against the TE.
D
1) Packers
SD@GB
$3200
Should be playing ahead all game so should be good for huge sacks and picks.
2) Panthers
CAR@SEA
$3000
Very good defense playing a very bad offensive line. Look to have Kuechly back.
3) Dolphins
MIA@TEN
$2800
Defense is too talented to suck this bad. New coach and a bye week should’ve straightened them out. Pig Suh time.
