Yahoo NFL DFS Picks Week 6: Daily fantasy football lineup advice for GPP tournaments image

At first, it looked like Andy Dalton would be a letdown for last week's Yahoo DFS GPP llineup. Then he connected with Auden Tate for a touchdown and Tyler Boyd for another, and we were off to our highest scoring lineup of the season. Sadly, we missed out on Will Fuller, Christian McCaffrey and Aaron Jones. At least we had Michael Thomas to lead the way, and all but one of our offensive players scored in double figures. Hopefully our Week 6 picks can continue that run.

This week, we're relying on a Gardner Minshew-DJ Chark stack. From there, we fill our lineup out with good running backs and Cooper Kupp. Our big risk comes in the form of the Dolphins' defense. Yes, you read that right.

WEEK 6 NON-PPR RANKINGS:
Quarterback | Running back | Wide receiver | Tight end | D/ST | Kicker

NFL DFS Week 6: Yahoo GPP Lineup Picks

QB Gardner Minshew II, Jaguars vs. Saints ($29). Coming off a career day with 374 passing yards and 42 rushing yards, Minshew sees his price rise, but it's not at an unreasonable level as he heads into a meeting with a Saints' secondary that can be leaky. Minshew's rushing provides a floor, he avoids mistakes, and he has a bevy of receiving options to make this choice pay off.

RB Damien Williams, Chiefs vs. Texans ($24). The Texans have allowed the most receptions to running backs this season. Much of that has come to the top receiving backs, but Williams is right up there as a solid pass-catcher out of the backfield. He outworked LeSean McCoy in his return, and there's great touchdown potential in KC's high-powered offense.

WEEK 6 PPR RANKINGS: Running back | Wide receiverTight end

RB Dalvin Cook, Vikings vs. Eagles ($32). Cook continues to be a workhorse, and when the Vikings decided to go to the air more in Week 5, it just meant Cook still got his 21 carries while also catching six passes. He's as good of a floor-ceiling combo on the slate.

WR Trey Quinn, Redskins @ Dolphins ($11). We had to get a piece of this game, and I'm hoping Quinn is low owned despite his smaller price as others opt for Terry McLaurin and Paul Richardson from the Redskins.

WR DJ Chark, Jaguars vs. Saints ($22). Minshew and Chark have quite the connection, and if not for penalties, Chark would've scored in every game this season so far. It will be tough sledding if he sees a lot of Marshon Lattimore, but he'll get the targets. 

WEEK 6: Waiver pickups | FAAB planner | Trade valuesSnap counts

WR Cooper Kupp, Rams vs. 49ers ($28). Kupp is locked in as a top-10 WR right now, but his price still is a few bucks too low. No one in the San Francisco secondary scares me enough to not play Kupp.

TE Demetrius Harris, Browns vs. Seahawks ($10). Harris provides a big target for Baker Mayfield in the red zone, and all it will take is a catch for a touchdown against a Seattle defense that struggles with TEs to return value for this price. 

WEEK 6 DFS LINEUPS:
Y! cash | Y! GPP | FD cash | FD GPPDK cash | DK GPP

FLEX Nick Chubb, Browns vs. Seahawks ($31). The Browns' run-centric offense should have success against a Seattle defense that's nowhere close to what it once was. Chubb is turning into a star in 2019.

D/ST Miami Dolphins vs. Redskins ($12). I'll admit, this play is a bit scary. But, man, if Colt McCoy or Dwayne Haskins is starting at QB for Washington, this defense should be able to make things happen.
