Yahoo NFL – Daily fantasy football: Week six picks

Kyler Murray ($26 salary)

Kyler Murray has a highly intriguing matchup this weekend against an Atlanta Falcons defense surrendering the second-most fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks. Murray has picked it up as of late, especially on the ground. He has failed to pass for a touchdown in three of his five contests but has been able to salvage fantasy outings with his legs. After just 8.5 rushing yards per game over his first two contests, Murray has recorded 63 rushing yards per game over his last three. With two end zone trips over that time period, Murray has boosted his fantasy floor. He put up a career-high 93 rushing yards in Week 5 and may be able to top that number at home against the Falcons.

Mark Ingram ($27 salary)

Mark Ingram has what is, for all intents and purposes, a cupcake matchup against a Cincinnati Bengals defense allowing the second-most fantasy points to opposing running backs. With Marquise Brown now on the wrong side of questionable after missing practice all week, Ingram could see increased volume in the passing game. Ingram has 71 rushing yards or a touchdown in four of his five contests on the season and appears likely to hit both marks this weekend. The Bengals have allowed absolutely massive numbers to the running back position on the season. They have allowed a whopping 128.4 rushing yards per game at a 5.1 yards per carry clip to the running back position on the season. They have allowed 1.2 rushing touchdowns and 0.6 receiving touchdowns per contest to enemy backs. Speaking of receiving, Cincinnati has relinquished 7.4 receptions for 74.6 receiving yards to the position. Ingram should well outperform his salary rank this weekend.

Ezekiel Elliott ($33 salary)

Ezekiel Elliott appears to have a plus matchup against a banged-up Jets defense relinquishing the 19th most fantasy points to enemy backs. The fantasy points against are not what appeals here, it is the potential game flow. The Jets have surrendered 74.25 rushing yards at 3.58 yards per carry and a touchdown per contest to opposing running backs. They have relinquished 6.5 receptions for 51.75 receiving yards. While these numbers do not sound terribly appealing apart, when combined they equal 123 yards from scrimmage and a touchdown per game. The Jets have faced only two backs in good form this season and allowed 62 yards and a touchdown to both. They managed to hold Nick Chubb to 3.44 yards per carry, but Jordan Howard got loose for 4.77 rushing yards per tote.
