I’ll tell you what folks, it has been a rough week for me personally as I battled a rather serious illness. Thankfully, I am starting to feel better and am back with our Top-5 Draftkings Targets for Sunday’s Week 6 main slate. Before we jump into that, I want to thank Dan and Brother Matt for handling this week’s episode of SODFS, as well as Mike Reedy of The Undroppables for filling in for me.
Thank you guys so much. You can check out Episode 7 below.
With that in mind, we’re going to jump into some studs, mid-tier and value plays to help you win some money this week.
Top-5 DraftKings Targets for Week 6.
Darrell Henderson, RB, $6,000
The Los Angles Rams enter this slate favored by 10.5 points over the New York Giants in a game with a 47.5-point total. Henderson continues to be heavily involved and has at least 17 touches in every active game this year. The Giants allow the sixth-most yards rushing per game, setting up Henderson as a strong play.
Darrell Henderson has been a top 24 back in every game he’s played this season.

The price is also right at $6,000 on DraftKings.
Amon-Ra St. Brown, WR, $4,200
With Quintez Cephus on IR, I expect tight end TJ Hockenson to gain the attention of the Cincinnati Bengals defense. If that is the case, Amon-Ra St. Brown might get some additional targets this week. The price tag is very cheap. He had 8 targets in Week 5, catching 7 of those for 65 yards.
With the game script usually seeing quarterback Jared Goff and the Detroit Lions playing from behind, it’s a great chance to insert ARSB in your lineups.
Lamar Jackson, QB, $7,400
Shootout in Baltimore? The Ravens are 1.5-point favorites in a game with the projected point total sitting at 51 points. On top of the game environment, quarterback Lamar Jackson has had a career year as a passer. He is completing 60.5% of his passes for 8.7 yards per attempt while averaging 269 yards passing per game. Not only a career-high in yardage but also a Ravens franchise record in last week’s exceptional performance.
The Los Angles Chargers defense has limited passing plays to an extent this year. This could be a game in which we see Jackson do a bit more rushing.
Joe Mixon, RB, $6,400
The Detroit Lions have given up 27.0 FPG to opposing RBs this season (4th-worst), and rank 3rd-worst in Football Outsiders rush defense DVOA (5.1%). Joe Burrow got a little more banged up last week, now with Joe Mixon healthy, look for him to get a ton of volume in this juicy matchup.
Taylor Heinicke, QB, $5,800
The Washington Football Team sets up as 6.5-point underdogs to the Kansas City Chiefs. The Chiefs have given up 26.7 FPG to opposing QBs (6th-worst), 32.6 PPG to opposing offenses (worst), and is PFF’s worst graded defense (46.2).
Players with more targets than Terry McLaurin since Taylor Heinicke took over in Week 2:
Davante Adams

Sprinkle in the additional rushing points from Heinkicke with the need to put points on the board versus a pissed-off Patrick Mahomes.
Great GPP play, but check the ownership percentage on Sunday.
