7 NFL FanDuel Bargains for Week 6
Jonathan Stewart appears set to return this week, and he will square off against the Saints' league-worst run defense. What other low-cost options should you target in Week 6?

Tavon Austin, WR, Los Angeles Rams

FanDuel Price: $5,700

Tavon Austin has been pretty inefficient this season -- ranking 77th in Reception NEP per target among the 81 wideouts with at least 20 targets on the season -- but some of that can be attributed to his quarterback play and his propensity to run short routes.

What really matters in terms of fantasy is volume, and the Los Angeles Rams have been feeding Austin with plenty of targets. He is averaging nine targets per game, which is good for 30% of the Rams' total, giving him the league's third-highest market share.

Bringing that kind of volume into a matchup with a Detroit Lions defense that ranks last in Adjusted Defensive Passing NEP per drop back makes this a very appealing spot, especially with the Lions having given up the 10th most fantasy points to opposing wideouts this year.
