It has been awhile since I have done a Draftpot lineup article. Weeks 1-5 have been good to me on Draftpot, as I have come out positive every week so far this year. I nearly spiked a GPP last week with Gates going off on Monday night. I fact, that Le’Veon Bell touchdown at the end of the game cost me the victory. I’m looking for the same type of success this week, and I’m going to help you hopefully make some money too.

NFL DFS Draftpot Lineup & Analysis Week 6 Sunday 10/18 & Monday 10/19 (GM MODE)
QB Carson Palmer, Cardinals
A top three QB in terms of fantasy points per game, but his DPPG hasn’t caught up to him yet. He has a great matchup with the Pittsburg Steelers and should have no issue lighting them up.
RB Charcandrick West, Chiefs
No one is really sure if West or Knile Davis is going to get the start. Most reports have West as the lead back, but they are also reporting it may be a committee. I’m taking a risk and I’m going to roster them both. Now a lot of you DFS junkie’s just gasped at the notion of that, but hear me out. Every lineup that I have had that has won something has at least one super punt player, and sometimes they do nothing, but because they were so cheap, my upgrade at the other positions made up for it. There is a good chance one of these backs gives us a big fat zero, but there is also a chance that they both combined to equal one top-tier back. I’m banking on the latter.
RB Knile Davis, Chiefs
No surprise here, I just told you I was rostering them both.
WR Julian Edelman, Patriots
He is the best volume receiver in the NFL right now. You can pretty much mark him down for 10-15 targets a game. In a game that I expect the Patriots want to win badly, being that it’s the Deflate-Gate revenge game, Edelman is a must play.
WR DeAndre Hopkins, Texans

Hopkins is unique in that he is the Texans’ volume receiver and their big play guy. Brian Hoyer will be throwing his way a ton, and against the Jags secondary I like his chances.
WRÂ Larry Fitzgerald, Cardinals
Going with a Carson Palmer/Larry Fitzgerald stack in this lineup. Fitz is Palmers favorite target and he has the potential to score multiple touchdowns in this one.
TE Jordan Cameron, Dolphins
Cameron has been decent through the first few weeks of the season, but a dysfunctional team around him has limited him on the field. Though I don’t think the coaching change dramatically improves this team, that the new head coach was the tight ends coach before this, that has to bode well for Cameron.
Flex Matt Forte, Bears
Now we get to the reason I put both Chiefs’ running backs in my lineup. Forte and the next flex guy make for an awesome combination of talent, usage, and great match ups. Of course that other guy is…
Flex Calvin Johnson, Lions
Yes, Megatron has struggled this year — or to put it more aptly — the entire Lions team has struggled, but if Johnson is going to turn into Megatron at all this year, then this is the game he does it. The Bears defense is awful, Johnson typically dominates the Bears and they are at home. That’s a recipe for a season breakout game if there ever was one.
Def Arizona Cardinals
Cardinals defense is good, Michael Vick is not, that is all.
KÂ Josh Lambo, Chargers
He was the best kicker I could afford.
