This piece will identify some of my favorite NFL DFS stacks of the weekend. Be sure to use our Stacking tool within our Player Models to find the highest projected stacks, the stacks that figure to be chalky, and more. Our Correlation Dashboard is also an excellent resource for finding hidden edges in stacking positions and games.
You can also plug these stacks into our Lineup Builder to hand-build the rest of it, or you can optimize it with our projections. And if you like to create multiple lineups, our Lineup Optimizer allows you to effortlessly create up to 150 lineups.
The Lineup Optimizer has endless customization opportunities.
Josh Allen + Stefon Diggs + David Montgomery
- Josh Allen ($8,500 DraftKings, $9,500 FanDuel)
- Stefon Diggs ($8,500 DraftKings, $8,700 FanDuel)
- David Montgomery ($6,500 DraftKings, $7,200 FanDuel)
Much has been made about the Bears’ run defense this season, but if you watched last week’s game vs. the Eagles, they were getting shredded by both A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith while severely limiting Miles Sanders. The Bills offense finally woke up last week against Miami, as Josh Allen threw for 304 yards and four touchdowns while rushing for 77 on the ground. Diggs has not posted a huge game in quite some time, and for that reason will be overlooked this week in what is a great spot against a defense that should pose no resistance.
On the other side, Montgomery finally woke up last week against the Eagles, posting 91 yards from scrimmage and two touchdowns en route to 24 DraftKings points. If you watched the Bills play run defense last week, you saw them get completely dominated by Raheem Mostert and Salvon Ahmed, giving up a combined 179 yards on 23 carries. Khalil Herbert will be back this week, but D-Mont should see his usual 14ish carries and catch some passes while being involved at the goal line.
Gardner Minshew + Dallas Goedert + CeeDee Lamb
- Gardner Minshew ($4,800 DraftKings, $6,100 FanDuel)
- Dallas Goedert ($4,500 DraftKings, $6,200 FanDuel)
- CeeDee Lamb ($7,500 DraftKings, $8,300 FanDuel)
Though it was just a one-game sample, last year, in Minshew’s lone start in which Dallas Goedert played, the two showed incredible chemistry. Goedert finished with six catches for 105 yards and a touchdown, while Minshew went for 242 and two. If that happens again this week, you will be doing cartwheels at the combined salary of both of these guys. Minshew will be popular this week due to his $4,800 tag, but most will run him with either DeVonta Smith or A.J. Brown, especially since this is Goedert’s first game back from IR.
The easiest way to run this back is to play Lamb, who’s coming off one of his better games of the season last week against the Jags, catching all seven of his targets for 126 yards. Obviously, the Cowboys have a plethora of passing game options, but this is a huge game against a division rival, and I expect them to lean on their stars here.
With all the elite running back options on the week and Justin Jefferson in a good spot, Lamb will go overlooked, giving this stack even less combined ownership. It’s a really intelligent way to play this game when factoring in floor/ceiling combo and salary.
Rhamondre Stevenson + Ja’Marr Chase
- Rhamondre Stevenson ($7,100 DraftKings, $8,300 FanDuel)
- Ja’Marr Chase ($8,300 DraftKings, $8,800 FanDuel)
Despite being listed as questionable this week, Stevenson should suit up and see his usual workload, even if Damien Harris returns. The questionable tag will keep people away in this spot, and with everyone wanting to pay up for McCaffrey, Barkley, Derrick Henry, and Dalvin, Stevenson will for sure get squeezed. As he showed last week, his ceiling is as high as any running back in the NFL, as he ran right over the Raiders for 172 yards and a touchdown, good for 27.8 DraftKings points. The Bengals are pretty good against the run overall, but Stevenson’s pass-game role keeps his floor and ceiling both insanely high at just $7,100.
We’re going to right back to the Ja’Marr Chase well after what was a somewhat disappointing game (by his standards) last week. The old adage is that the Patriots take away their opponent’s best weapon, but there’s nobody on this planet that can hold Chase down, and if he’s going to get overlooked, please sign me up in GPPs.
Before the season started, people thought the Steelers had a good pass defense, and he dropped 10/129/1 on them before then torching the always-stingy Saints defense for 7/132/2. Clearly, it’s Chase who dictates when he’s going to drop these nuclear performances, not opposing defenses.
This stack has as high of a ceiling as any on the slate.
