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 300 lineups.
The Lineup Optimizer has endless customization opportunities.
Week 6 NFL DFS Stacks and Picks
Justin Fields + DJ Moore + Jordan Addison and/or T.J. Hockenson
- Justin Fields ($7,300 DraftKings, $8,500 FanDuel)
- DJ Moore ($6,500 DraftKings, $8,000 FanDuel)
- Jordan Addison ($5,700 DraftKings, $6,700 FanDuel)
- T.J. Hockenson ($6,600 DraftKings, $6,700 FanDuel)
Justin Fields has absolutely erupted the past two weeks, throwing for eight touchdown passes and going for 32.9 DraftKings points in back-to-back games.
Early ownership projections aren’t showing much love for Fields, which is surprising to me. He’s currently outside the top 10 in projected ownership at quarterback. I’m expecting it to creep up, but his ownership won’t be outsized.
Minnesota has allowed the second-highest completion rate on the year, and they blitz at the highest rate in the league. Fields has been stellar against the blitz in his career as a passer, and blitzes may give him more opportunities to escape as a runner.
DJ Moore is the prime stacking target, and Fields’ recent success is directly tied to Moore. He had an absolute field day last Thursday Night against Washington. He saw ten targets, catching eight balls for 230 yards and three touchdowns. We know Minnesota blitzes heavily, and Moore has averaged 3.9 yards per route run and has a team-high 25% target share when Fields is blitzed.
Jordan Addison and T.J. Hockenson both look like prime stacking options and can be played together due to how much volume is up for grabs in that offense. The Bears have allowed the sixth-most yards per target and sixth-highest touchdown rate to opposing receivers on the year, which bodes well for Addison. If/when he sees a bump in volume, his price will surely rise in the coming weeks.
For Hockenson, Chicago has allowed the highest catch rate to tight ends and a healthy 7.1 yards per target. Travis Kelce and Logan Thomas both eclipsed 65 yards and found the end zone against Chicago. He’s a solid option as well.
Joshua Dobbs + Marquise Brown + Zach Ertz
- Joshua Dobbs ($5,200 DraftKings, $6,700 FanDuel)
- Marquise Brown ($5,300 DraftKings, $7,000 FanDuel)
- Zach Ertz ($3,600 DraftKings, $5,200 FanDuel)
That’s weird. It’s almost as if I wrote about this exact same stack last week. Oh wait, I did!
All of the reasons that we liked Joshua Dobbs last week still apply, and he’s in play once again. This Rams’ defense isn’t a pushover, ranking in the top half of the league in completion rate allowed, touchdown rate, and yards per pass attempt.
The Arizona offense couldn’t capitalize on garbage time, leading to a poor fantasy score. When players like Dobbs fail, fantasy players are quick to say, “I’m never playing him again.” I’ll gladly go back to him at low ownership.
Marquise Brown caught four of 10 targets for 61 yards and a touchdown. He saw a third of the team targets last week and now is at 30.6% over the past four weeks. The Rams have allowed the seventh-fewest DraftKings points to opposing receivers but the 13th-most points per game to opposing WR1s.
Zach Ertz didn’t see his usual volume last week, but he was able to find the end zone to salvage his day. He caught two of four targets for 10 yards and a touchdown en route to 9.0 DraftKings points.
He still ran a route on 83% of the dropbacks, so there’s no reason to panic. I’m happy to go right back to the well. He’ll need some volume to put up a big score, and this is the matchup for it. The Rams have allowed the third-most yards per target to opposing tight ends on the year. Indianapolis tight ends totaled 107 yards and two touchdowns two weeks ago, and Dallas Goedert caught eight balls for 117 yards and a score last week.
You can certainly run it back with players on the Los Angeles side, as Cooper Kupp and Kyren Williams both look like extremely strong options.

Tua Tagovailoa + Raheem Mostert + Tyreek Hill
- Tua Tagovailoa ($7,600 DraftKings, $8,300 FanDuel)
- Raheem Mostert ($6,400 DraftKings, $8,500 FanDuel)
- Tyreek Hill ($9,300 DraftKings, $9,800 FanDuel)
The Giants didn’t put up much resistance last week, which led to a solid but not great game from Tua Tagovailoa. He completed 73% of his passes for 308 yards and two touchdowns while throwing two interceptions.
It’s unclear if Carolina is going to put up a fight this year, but the matchup is certainly great for Miami’s signal-caller. Carolina has the sixth-lowest pressure rate, so it’s all systems go for Miami. The Dolphins have played two teams with lower pressure rates, and Tagovailoa put up 32.14 and 31.36 DraftKings points.
With De’Von Achane on injured reserve, it’ll become the Raheem Mostert show until Jeff Wilson Jr. is activated. Mostert took ten carries last week, running for 65 yards and a touchdown. In Weeks 1-2, before Achane had a role, Mostert had 70.6% and 70.4% of the backfield touches.
The matchup and environment are impeccable, as Miami is a home favorite of two touchdowns over the lowly Panthers. Carolina has allowed the fourth-most yards per carry to opposing backs on the year while allowing the second-most rushing fantasy points. He also has a solid role in the passing game, totaling 17 targets through five weeks.
Mostert is also a nice way to take a stack that will be highly owned overall and make it somewhat unique. Mostert will be one of the highest-owned players on the slate, but not a lot of people will play Tagovailoa, Mostert, and Tyreek Hill together.
In his three games against non-divisional opponents, Hill has had 47.5, 33.7, and 35.1 DraftKings points. Of all receivers with over 100 pass routes, Hill is first in target rate per route run and yards per route run.
Carolina has nothing to slow him down. There are no holes to poke in Hill’s outlook from a matchup perspective. There’s a realistic chance that Miami is able to take their foot off of the gas pedal, as they’re two-touchdown favorites at home. However, for Miami to put the game out of reach, there’s a strong chance that Hill will produce.
You can run it back with Chuba Hubbard, Adam Thielen, or Jonathan Mingo. You also don’t even need a bringback, as Miami doesn’t need to be in a back-and-forth affair to put up points.
