NFL DFS DraftKings Cash Picks: Week 6 (Fantasy Football)
NFL DFS cash games are all about building a high-floor lineup that can win in head-to-heads, 50/50s, and double-ups. Each week I’ll highlight my favorite cash game picks that I have some confidence heading into the weekend to put into my player pools.

Quarterbacks
Lamar Jackson $7,800 vs. WAS
Fantasy’s QB1 after five games, Lamar has been en fuego this season and a strong candidate to take home yet another MVP award if Baltimore can continue to pile up wins. This week, the Ravens are at home as a 6.5-point favorite with the slate’s highest team total. We know Jackson can get there with his legs (he leads all QBs in rushing), but the passing matchup is just as good. The Commanders rank 26th in EPA per drop back while allowing the NFL’s second-highest passer rating. They predictably held Deshaun Watson and the inept Browns offense in check in Week 5, but in Weeks 1-4, the Commanders ranked 27th in schedule-adjusted points allowed to QBs.
