The best value plays in your DraftKings lineup for Week 6 of the NFL season

QB: Baker Mayfield, $5,500

The best value plays in your DraftKings lineup for Week 6 of the NFL season

RB: Tarik Cohen, $4,600

RB: Tarik Cohen, $4,600

Tarik Cohen is one of the most versatile offensive weapons in football, working for the Bears as a running back, pass catcher, and gadget play X-factor. While he might not be the team's first running option, he's a steal at this price for his potential to go off on Sunday.

RB: Chris Carson, $4,400

RB: Chris Carson, $4,400

Chris Carson ran for 116 yards against what is likely the most feared defensive front in football last Sunday. While the Seahawks running back job has been something of a carousel as of late, it's tough to imagine the team taking away carries from Carson after blowing past the likes of Aaron Donald and Ndamukong Suh, and this week he'll be facing off against a Raiders defense whose most notable aspect is the absence of Khalil Mack.

WR: Tyler Lockett, $5,100

WR: Tyler Lockett, $5,100

For just $5,100 this week you can add Tyler Lockett to your roster, and while his name might not jump off the page, he's likely been the most consistent receiver in fantasy football so far this year. He has double-digit fantasy points in all five games, scoring in four of them and averaging just under 70 receiving yards per game. He's not your boom-or-bust player, but if you need someone to slot into a lineup that's reliable, he's likely your guy.

WR: Chris Godwin, $4,400

WR: Chris Godwin, $4,400

Chris Godwin might be the third receiver on the Buccaneers depth chart, but he's a heavily eyed target for the team, having scored in three of Tampa Bay's four games so far this season. $4,400 isn't all that much to pay for a player with such a strong habit of finding the end zone.

WR: Antonio Callaway, $4,000

WR: Antonio Callaway, $4,000

If you're looking for a cheap player to pair with Baker Mayfield, Antonio Callaway is a fun option that could pay dividends should the two connect on a long touchdown.

TE: Austin Hooper, $3,500

TE: Austin Hooper, $3,500

The Atlanta Falcons will be in desperation mode on Sunday, at home and basically needing a win to keep their playoff hopes alive. While there are more expensive players from the team you should certainly have in your lineups, tight end Austin Hooper is a solid bargain at just $3,500 to consider as well. Last week, Hooper had his best game of the season yet, with nine receptions for 77 yards. Should the Buccaneers defense overwhelm themselves in their attempts to cover Julio Jones and Calvin Ridley, Hooper could have another breakout day.

DEF: Cleveland Browns

DEF: Cleveland Browns

The Browns' defense has been remarkably good at home for fantasy owners so far this season, averaging over 12 points per game in Cleveland. While the Chargers present their toughest test yet, look for Myles Garrett and company to step up in a big way yet again.
