2022 USFL DFS picks: Top DraftKings tournament strategy, advice for Week 6 from a Fantasy expert

SportsLine's No. 1 pro football expert and CBS Sports' Fantasy and gambling editor, R.J. White, shares his Week 6 USFL DFS strategy

By@rjwhite1.bsky.socialPublished: May 20, 2022 2:53PM UTC . 3 min read

Just past the halfway mark of the season, two of the top USFL teams appear to have advantageous matchups in Week 6. Daily Fantasy players should have their sights set on Saturday's Birmingham Stallions (5-0) vs. Michigan Panthers (1-4) and Sunday's New Jersey Generals (4-1) vs. Houston Gamblers (1-4) matchups. Generals dual-threat QB De'Andre Johnson threw for 200 yards and had two rushing touchdowns last week in a win against New Orleans. Meanwhile, CJ Marable ran for 114 yards with a touchdown in Birmingham's win over Philadelphia.

Johnson now has 817 all-purpose yards and five total touchdowns on the season and is set to face off against a Houston side that allowed four red zone opportunities and lost to a previously winless Pittsburgh. Michigan has been playing from behind for most of the season, meaning game script should work heavily in Marable's favor this week. If you're on the hunt for Week 6 USFL DFS picks, you can't do any better than SportsLine's No. 1 pro football expert, R.J. White.

CBS Sports' Fantasy and gambling managing editor, White has delivered consistently on a high volume of picks over the long-term, returning $2,542 to $100 bettors on more than 800 against the spread picks since the start of the 2017 NFL season. It's no surprise, as White has cashed huge twice in the world's most prestigious football handicapping competition, the Las Vegas SuperContest.

He was also 16-4 on all XFL ATS picks before the league suspended operations in 2020. That included starting a 13-1 run at the start as books scrambled to correctly evaluate team quality in a league where little was known heading into the season. He also had a successful start to the 2022 USFL season, going 6-2 with his first eight USFL picks. His combination of expert pick knowledge and Fantasy background means he can find the best USFL DFS values.

Now, White has locked in his USFL DFS picks for the four-game slate in Week 6 and also is offering up his analysis.

We can tell you that White is high on Birmingham quarterback J'Mar Smith, who is listed at $10,000 on DraftKings. White is also high on New Jersey running back Darius Victor ($5,900 on DraftKings). Heading into this week, Victor has the fourth-most rushing yards in the league, with 308, and leads all players with five rushing touchdowns. In last week's win against New Orleans, he finished with 95 yards and a touchdown in New Jersey's 27-17 win.

White is also targeting several players who could go off for MASSIVE numbers in Week 6 USFL action! These picks could be the difference between winning your tournaments and cash games or going home with nothing! You ABSOLUTELY need to see who they are before locking in any lineups.
