Week 6 DraftKings Daily Fantasy Football Picks, Lineup Tips for Sunday

Some of the best daily fantasy football selections for Week 6 DraftKings contests are easy to point out.

Saquon Barkley is off to a tremendous start with the Philadelphia Eagles and he has a chance to continue that in an ideal matchup with the Cleveland Browns.

The Beltway battle between the Washington Commanders and Baltimore Ravens should carry plenty of DFS attention as well because of how explosive both offenses have looked through five weeks.

As always, there are some not-so-obvious DFS stars waiting to excel as well. The Arizona Cardinals could possess at least one of the top DFS sleepers on Sunday due to the combination of the team's current from and the matchup in play.

Saquon Barkley has one of the best individual matchups on the Week 6 slate.

The Philadelphia Eagles running back is facing a Cleveland Browns defense that ranks in the bottom 10 in rushing defense and has allowed eight rushing touchdowns.

Some DFS players may turn away from Barkley because the Eagles offense is back at full strength with the returns of wide receivers A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith.

However, Sunday is a day for Barkley to star for the NFC East side. The Browns allowed over 150 rushing yards in each of the last two weeks.

Additionally, the game should be lopsided, which leads to a game script with more runs.

Barkley possesses the highest salary among all running backs for Sunday's main contest, but the price should be worth it given how strong he's looked inside the Eagles offense with 435 rushing yards and four touchdowns and the matchup against the Browns.

The Washington Commanders-Baltimore Ravens contest has the potential to be one of the most exciting games of not just Week 5, but the entire season to date.

Jayden Daniels and Lamar Jackson should be two of the most popular starting quarterbacks in all DFS contests and each player should lead a lineup stack.

Baltimore enters Sunday with the second-most passing yards allowed in the NFL, while the Commanders have let up 11 passing touchdowns, the most in the league.

The Commanders are also one of six teams that are allowing five yards per carry to opponents on the ground.

A Lamar Jackson-Derrick Henry lineup stack seems like the easiest way to approach the game from the Baltimore perspective.

Either Zay Flowers or Isaiah Likely can be added to the duo to take advantage of Washington's high concession of passing touchdowns.

Jayden Daniels and Terry McLaurin are the ideal pair from the Commanders offense. Brian Robinson has been ruled out for the game, so Austin Ekeler or Jeremy McNichols carry DFS value if you go for a Washington lineup stack.

Both Ekeler and McNichols can thrive in the short passing game, as could tight end Zach Ertz. At least one of them should be partnered with Daniels because the rookie quarterback may be forced into quick throws by the Baltimore pass rush.

Baltimore's allowed the second-most receiving yards to opposing tight ends, so Ertz at $3,700 could be a tremendous value play in DraftKings DFS contests.

The Arizona Cardinals have the potential to be the sleeper team to choose a lineup stack from in Week 6.

Arizona is full of confidence right now after its Week 5 upset over the San Francisco 49ers and it is going up against a Green Bay Packers defense that allowed over 200 passing yards in four of five games. The fifth concession was for 198 yards.

Kyler Murray and Marvin Harrison Jr. are the easy DFS targets, but Michael Wilson, Greg Dortch and Trey McBride all have salaries under $6,000.

Of course Harrison is the primary target, but Wilson and Dortch each have over 15 receptions and 20 targets, while McBride has 20 catches on 30 targets.

Murray has the weapons around him to air the ball out, and if he does that with a good amount of success, the Cardinals could help you achieve a decent level of DFS success on Sunday.
