We continue to shuffle our build strategies as the weeks allow, but it also has to do with the teams on byes or playing outside of the main slate — Kanas City and Buffalo, for example. Still, we have to pay premiums somewhere, and we have no hesitation doing it as long as we can make the rest of our lineups work. Which we can.

Based on our expected Week 6 DFS game flow analysis and Week 6 DFS Overview published earlier, we can carry our thoughts into actual lineup positions. The long list of players that fit the requirements set forth by the projected flow of the game was cut dramatically by the requirements set forth by salaries.

Below are Sporfolio’s DFS Week 6 Plays:

Quarterback

Joe Burrow – We’ve mentioned and highlighted the struggles for the Cincinnati Bengals’ offense countless times this season — and, really, dating back to the offseason. Despite expecting a regression, we are looking at the second-worst offense in the sports in yards-per-game, and that just simply can’t last forever. The Seattle Seahawks have the stingiest defense in rushing-yards-allowed-per-carry, and the Bengals will need to try to move the ball through the air in order to bring their offense back to life. That obviously starts with quarterback Joe Burrow, and his salary is reasonable enough to warrant using him in a lineup on Sunday.

Bryce Young – In a year that has seen rookie quarterbacks succeeding quickly, the number one pick in last year’s draft has yet to experience a breakout performance. While things have been far from perfect for the Panthers and Bryce Young, there are some reasons to buy low starting with this week. In the four games that Young has played, he has thrown at least 30 passes in each. Last week, in a game that Carolina played from a deficit throughout, Young posted career highs in pass attempts (41), passing yards (247), and passing touchdowns (3). Facing off against the Miami Dolphins and their explosive offense, there is a very good chance that Carolina is playing from behind once again which should lead to another week of heavy passing. The additional volume could ead to another strong performance from Young against a defense that ranks in the bottom third of just about every major category. This may not mean anything, but there have been reports about Carolina looking to simplify the offense this week. Simplifying things for the rookie signal caller may allow him to go out and simply play football and trust the skillset that led to him being the first pick in the draft.
