You can import the netcoreapp1.0 TFM to convince the tooling that the dependencies are compatible with the target framework:

{ 
  "dependencies": {
    "NETStandard.Library": "1.6.0",
    "xunit": "2.2.0-beta4-build3444",
    "dotnet-test-xunit": "2.2.0-preview2-build1029" 
  },
  "frameworks": {
    "netstandard1.6": {
      "imports": [ "netcoreapp1.0" ]
    }
  }
}

You can find a table of target framework monikers (TFM) in the NuGet documentation linked below, including a table of deprecated frameworks which includes dnxcore50 (replaced by netcoreapp1.0):
