6 DraftKings Bargains for Week 6

Ben Roethlisberger, QB, Pittsburgh Steelers

DraftKings Price: $5,700

Offensive coordinator Todd Haley had a master plan last week. The Jacksonville Jaguars came into Week 5 with the best passing defense and worst rushing defense in the league. Tossing conventional wisdom into the pits of despair, decided that Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger should throw the ball as many times as possible to Jalen Ramsey and Co. Big Ben ended up setting a new career high in interceptions (five) while throwing the second-most passes in his career for a single game (55). That led to a miserable passing rating of 37.8.

His horrific outing plus his reputation for being a poor road player means he should have low ownership this weekend in tournaments. This could make him an attractive contrarian play as he travels to face a Kansas City Chiefs defense that has given up the seventh-most DraftKings points per game to quarterbacks this season.

The Chiefs should have no trouble establishing the run against the Steelers' second-worst run defense, indicating that they could build an early lead and force Pittsburgh to pass often. We project Ben to bounce back this week with 17.6 points, which would mean a return of over three-times value.
