Here’s a breakdown of one-game DFS contests for the Week 6 Sunday Night Football matchup featuring the Pittsburgh Steelers at Los Angeles Chargers at 8:20 p.m. ET on NBC.
Cash Game Strategy
Philip Rivers is the highest-floor play and top value among studs in our DraftKings Showdown Models. James Conner is No. 3. Devlin Hodges, Melvin Gordon and Austin Ekeler are essentially tied in median projection, but you can’t fit all three, the best bet is to split exposure between Gordon and Ekeler.
With Rivers and Hodges both already in, there’s no need to chase ceiling in cash with a volatile Mike Williams–Johnny Holton combination (combined floor projection of 0.6), so the best bet is to go with kickers Chase McLaughlin and Chris Boswell, who have an exponentially higher combined floor projection (7.6).
On FanDuel, Ekeler is the clear fade at $14,000. Our models have him projected for 12.1 FanDuel points, which is fewer than Hodges (14.2), Conner (13.6) and Gordon (12.6), each of whom cost at least $1,500 less.
