DraftKings Week 6 Showdown: Chiefs vs. Patriots Top Optimal Lineups

150-Max Entry Lineup

– CAPTAIN: Chris Hogan ($6,300)
– Patrick Mahomes ($11,400)
– Tom Brady ($11,200)
– Travis Kelce ($8,600)
– Sammy Watkins ($6,200)
– Josh Gordon ($6,000)

Chris Hogan's price is ridiculous. I know he's been mediocre at best this season, but we're looking at a game which has an over/under set at nearly 60 points. Hogan should get targets as he still plays a massive amount of snaps, and logged 91 percent last week against the Colts, per Football Outsiders.

And for what it's worth, Hogan did catch 3-of-4 targets last week for 34 yards, so it's not as though Brady just forgot he exists. He's unlikely to see 10 targets, but if he manages to find the end zone it'll jump you above virtually every other lineup as he should have low ownership. Most importantly, using Hogan allows us to get in some huge names with him.

For the 150-max game, I'm going to truly go for it. Pairing Tom Brady with Hogan and then Josh Gordon is something I expect very few people to do or even consider. But Gordon's upside is as high as anyone's on this slate if his percentage of snaps continue to increase. Tom Brady's 34-yard touchdown to Gordon last week showed some faith in the receiver, who also received four targets in the game.

The thought of pairing Patrick Mahomes with Travis Kelce is something I plan on doing quite a bit in my lineups. The Patriots have allowed 23 receptions for 268 yards and four touchdowns this season to opposing tight ends. Pair that with Kelce's 40 targets over the last four games and the fact that he's hit 100 or more yards in three of those games, and this is a smash spot.
