DraftKings Main Slate for Week 6 - Running Back (RB)

Green Bay Packers vs ARI:

Josh Jacobs - $6700

Josh Jacobs has fluctuated throughout the season, ranging from 5 to 17 points. His snap was 75% last week and 65% on the season. While his mark is 26, we know what he can do, with or without the best matchup. The #Cardinals limited production to 9 (Mason) last week but allowed two RBs (Robinson Jr & McNichols) to hit 20+ and Montgomery to do the same in the previous two weeks. A safe floor should arrive with an upside. #Packers

Washington Commanders vs BAL:

Austin Ekeler - $5600
Jeremy McNichols - $4500

Brian Robinson is a game-time decision who did not practice (DNP) all week. He is more likely than not out or limited, but you should confirm this if you want to take a shot with the #Commanders' backfield. Austin Ekeler practiced in full (FP) the entire week, so he's likely off the injury report. His production has landed between 10-13 points on the season. Jeremy McNichols landed 20 points in Ekeler's absence in Week 4 and found 10 points last week. I'd expect a split here or 60-40% in favor of Ekeler. Both price tags appeal to the desired marks of 22 for Ekeler and 18 for McNichols. Their high-producing offense can trump some of these numbers, but the #Ravens haven't allowed much to RBs, starting the season with 15 points (Pacheco), allowing 16 points (Chase Brown) last week, and limiting RBs between 6-8 points for everything in between. McNichols is more of a flier in a significantly strong build, but Ekeler lands highly appealing with his history in the league and the likely increased workload.

Atlanta Falcons vs CAR:

Bijan Robinson - $6600

Bijan has been quiet, not hitting above 16 this season and landed with a lower output (10 to 13) of the 16 points he started within the first two weeks. His matchups for the season were against PIT, PHI, KC, NO, & TB, all teams that are usually solid against the run, so we may have an excellent opportunity to buy on a plummeting stock. The matchup vs. the #Panthers has landed 20+ in four out of the last five weeks (LV). His history from last year is 1 and 20, so while it's not ideal, this is a different #Falcons' offense. He's snapped 75% on the season, including 82% in the last three games. While it doesn't always land, this is precisely what #DFS is about. His mark is 26, so we'll need the endzone, but I like the opportunity. #Falcons.

Jacksonville Jaguars vs CHI:

Travis Etienne Jr. - $6400
Tank Bigsby - $6000

Tank Bigsby has earned consistent playing time, which derails Travis Etienne's high snap share in years past. Etienne finished the week with limited practices (LP), so while I don't usually chase the recent bias of last week, the opportunity may arrive again vs. the #Bears. Over the last three weeks, Chicago has allowed 18+ points, including 20 (Kyren) & 29 (JT). If any reports update Etienne being limited, Bigsby will land in a great spot but also land high in roster % across the field. He's worth some lineups. #Jaguars
