DraftKings Daily Fantasy Football Helper for Week 6
Which studs and value plays should you target on DraftKings in Week 6?

Wide Receivers

High-Cost Option: DeAndre Hopkins $7,700

As long as DraftKings continues giving ProFootballFocus, which will likely match him up with Week 5's DraftKings Helper, Snead was able to hit the 3x value, as he picked up a stat line of 6 receptions and 141 yards against the Eagles last Sunday. A modest $300 price raise shouldn't deter you from going back to the well and reusing Snead in a fantastic matchup this week.

Playing against an Atlanta secondary allowing the fourth-most passing yards per game, Snead could have a field day as he continues to see an increase in both snaps and targets. The Falcons' cornerbacks have been heavily targeted this season (ninth-most), as they're routinely picked on given the team's stout run defense. Over the past two games, Snead has hauled in 12 of 17 targets for 230 yards, entrenching himself as a viable fantasy threat.

GPP Wildcard: Calvin Johnson $7,300

toughest part of his schedule, as our Editor-in-Chief JJ Zachariason noted, and now gets to face a struggling pass defense in Chicago that has been taken out to the woodshed by top receivers this season. Only Kansas City has yielded more touchdowns to opposing wide receivers, as the Bears have given up nine on the season through just five games. Calvin continues to see heavy red zone looks seeing 28.6% of the team's red zone pass attempts, and should be able to box out 5'11", 190-pound Rich Hribar pointed out in his "The Worksheet: Week 6", Montgomery has played the most snaps among all Green Bay wide receivers the last two weeks running.

This increased opportunity for Montgomery has led to him seeing more touches, as last week he finished with a 4-catch, 59-yard, 1-touchdown stat line for 15.9 fantasy points. San Diego has allowed the fewest fantasy points in the league to opposing wide receivers, and I think that statistic -- the one highlighted in bright red when choosing your players on the DraftKings website -- will cause users to fade Montgomery, making him a somewhat contrarian play. Getting exposure in one of the week's highest projected point totals is never a bad thing, and at $3,500, Montgomery affords you the luxury to go ceiling chasing elsewhere.
