Week 6 Monday DraftKings DFS Tiers Picks: Jayden Daniels, Bijan Robinson and More

I've been doing some DraftKings lineups throughout the season, and am back for another round of fun for the Monday night doubleheader we get in week 6.

This time though, I'll be trying out a tiers contest. Let's dive into things.

Check out player prop bets, prop bet rankings and public betting splits on FantasySP all season! 

Tier 1 - Jayden Daniels

Tier 1 was tonight's four starting quarterbacks, so Daniels, Josh Allen, Caleb Williams and Michael Penix Jr. I chose Daniels, sticking with my weekly rankings list.

I really like his matchup against the Bears, so that's why I have him over Allen tonight. Williams also has a favorable fantasy matchup, but I like Daniels' dual-threat ability more.

Allen and Penix both have tougher matchups. I rarely go against Allen, but this week, I have him behind Daniels. Penix hasn't shown me enough to trust in a tougher matchup.

Tier 2 - Bijan Robinson

Tier 2 was each team's starting running back. Along with Robinson, James Cook, Jacory Croskey-Merritt and D'Andre Swift were the options.

Robinson has been the best fantasy asset of the bunch, and in a favorable matchup, he was an easy choice here. He could deliver a stellar showing tonight, being the focal point for the Falcons' offense, like he usually is.

Croskey-Merritt broke out in week 5 and has a stellar matchup against the Bears. I just cannot justify taking him over Robinson though. It'd be a big-time risk to take, so I'm taking the guaranteed with Robinson instead.

Tier 3 - Rome Odunze

Tier 3 has some of the top-end fantasy pass catchers for each team. I went with Odunze over Deebo Samuel Sr., Drake London, Dalton Kincaid, D.J. Moore and Terry McLaurin (who is out tonight).

I love Odunze this week, and think he will take advantage of a favorable matchup and deliver a stellar fantasy score. He's already been the best fantasy option among that group, so it makes sense to trust him again.

Samuel has a good matchup too, and should thrive without McLaurin around, but an injury could slow Samuel a bit. London and Kincaid have tougher matchups, otherwise I'd consider them more. As for Moore, he just hasn't done enough this season.

Tier 4 - Kyle Pitts Sr.

Tier 4 has been the most difficult choice yet, as it includes some less-valuable fantasy pass catchers. I decided on Pitts over Khalil Shakir, Keon Coleman, Zach Ertz, Luther Burden III and Darnell Mooney (who is out tonight).

Pitts is tied with Shakir for the most fantasy points so far this season, and Coleman is just 0.1 points behind them. Pitts has a tough matchup, but with Mooney out and a lot of attention on London, I see the Atlanta tight end delivering for a second straight outing.

Shakir and Coleman have tough matchups, so I'm staying away from them. Ertz has an average matchup, so he was my No. 2 option here, but I'm going with the guy who has delivered more this season over a better matchup. Burden has a great matchup, but hasn't done a ton, so I'm not confident enough in him.

Tier 5 - Matt Gay

Tier 5 was all kickers, and I went with Gay over Matt Prater, Parker Romo and Cairo Santos.

Gay and Prater are averaging 10 fantasy points per game, so it was a tough choice between those two. I like the Bills' offense more, but I see more scoring in the Bears, Commanders game, so I'll take the kicker for who I predict to win, and that's Gay.

If you are into kicker matchups, Prater has the best one, and it's not all that close. Romo and Gay have closer to average matchups, while Santos has a bad matchup.

Tier 6 - Bills DST

You can probably guess that tier 6 was D/STs. I went with the Bills, even though they've averaged the least amount of points of the four options tonight.

The Bills D/ST also has the best matchup tonight, so that helps me take them. Since a poor showing in week 1, they've been better in the four games since, scoring 6-10 points three times.

I could see Buffalo creating a couple takeaways and having a few other big plays to score some points. If it's a low-scoring game, I like my chances of that D/ST scoring a good amount of fantasy points.

The Commanders are averaging the most fantasy points per game, but again, I see that as a high-scoring game, so I'm out on them, and the Bears D/ST. The Falcons have averaged just 0.1 points less than the Commanders, but I'm not taking any D/ST against Allen and the Bills.
