7 FanDuel Bargains for Week 6
Danny Woodhead ($6,000)
This is the second straight appearance in this column for Danny Woodhead, and I like him even more this time around.
He's up against the Green Bay Packers' defense this week, which ranks 31st in Adjusted Defensive Rushing NEP on the season. The Packers are also favored by 10 points, and while being a heavy underdog isn't usually something you want for a running back, it should work to Woodhead's benefit. He does a big chunk of his damage in the passing game and is the clear top receiving option in the Chargers' backfield, a role he rarely has to share with Melvin Gordon.
Woodhead has been very efficient both through the air and on the ground this season. His 0.53 Reception NEP per target ranks third among the 18 backs with at least 20 targets on the year, and his 0.09 Rushing NEP per carry ranks 9th out of 55 backs to record at least 25 carries.
He also offers multi-touchdown upside because of his red zone usage. He has been unquestionably the Chargers' primary back in the red zone, seeing 7 carries and 2 targets from inside the 20 yard line to only 2 carries and no targets for the rest of the backfield.
