When setting a DraftKings lineup, it’s key to balance your lineup out while not spending too much on one player or position. This week, we’re doing just that.
Last week’s DraftKings lineup performed very well. The big downfall was Daniel Jones exiting the game with injury. When losing a quarterback, it’s hard to recover.
This week’s lineup will feature a quarterback with mounds of upside against a team that finds themselves in close games weekly. We’re going to balance out our lineup a little more this week, spreading our money out and assuring solid production across the board.
Best DraftKings lineup for Week 6
Quarterback: Justin Herbert ($7,300)
Justin Herbert had one of the best games of his young career last week, throwing for 398 yards and five touchdowns in an epic win against the Cleveland Browns. I’m expecting similar results this week against the Baltimore Ravens.
The Ravens are 28th in the NFL in pass defense, allowing 296.4 yards a game. That’s great news for Herbert, who is actually discounted this week considering his production so far in 2021.
Herbert is expected to blow up this week and will lead our lineup.
