Week 13 NFL DFS Stacks and Picks
Justin Herbert + Ladd McConkey + Bijan Robinson
- Justin Herbert ($5,600 DraftKings, $7,900 FanDuel)
- Ladd McConkey ($6,100 DraftKings, $6,300 FanDuel)
- Bijan Robinson ($7,300 DraftKings, $8,500 FanDuel)
Playing in a dome this time of year is a massive advantage for the offense. We have three dome games on Sunday, including this interconference showdown between the Atlanta Falcons and LA Chargers. The road Chargers are one-point favorites with this game total sitting at 47.5 points.
Justin Herbert is the clear-cut best option at the quarterback position this week. He has surprised a ton of people in a Jim Harbaugh-led offense that is a run-heavy scheme. Despite the Chargers running the ball at the seventh-highest rate in the league (47.4%), Herbert has been productive, throwing 13 touchdowns and a career-low one interception. Herbert has not thrown an interception since Week 2 against the Panthers. Taking care of the ball but being aggressive when possible has been a perfect fit for Herbert.
Since their Week 5 bye week, the Chargers have leaned on Herbert even more. During this seven-game stretch, Herbert is averaging 260.9 passing yards with eight touchdowns and no interceptions. He has two passing touchdowns in three of his last five games. Herbert also has two rushing touchdowns and has run the ball for at least 29 yards in four of his last five games. Herbert will be in the cash-game shell with his slate-high projected ownership on both DraftKings and FanDuel. His price tag remains way too cheap.
The best part about this spot for Herbert is the Falcons defense’s inability to generate pressure or sacks. They are last in the league with 10 sacks through 11 games. The next closest team is the Panthers with 17 sacks. Herbert will have all the time in the world to attack the Falcons defense in this matchup.
Quickly turning into Herbert’s No. 1 option is rookie wide receiver Ladd McConkey. The 6-foot rookie slot receiver is leading the Chargers in yards, receptions, and targets. McConkey has a 23% target share and has averaged 86.6 receiving yards per game in his last five games. Priced in the mid-range on both sites, McConkey has the highest projected ownership on FanDuel and the second-highest on DraftKings.
Pairing Herbert and McConkey will be a popular option in tournaments and cash games this week. Make sure to differentiate your lineup elsewhere, but this pairing is poised for another strong performance this Sunday. The Chargers have a 24.25 implied point total this week, and Herbert and McConkey have a great chance to capture a good piece of the scoring. This is the best stacking duo of the week.
The Falcons are coming off a much-needed bye week after losing back-to-back games on the road. Their last road loss was a 38-6 beatdown against the Broncos. They had only 226 yards of total offense with no touchdowns, making no one a viable option. Looking to get back on track will be difficult against a stout Chargers defense. They rank sixth in sacks while allowing a league-best 15.9 points per game.
Maybe the only way to take advantage of the Chargers defense is on the ground. They are allowing 119.7 rushing yards per game, which is in the middle of the pack compared to being one of the best defenses against the pass. That will greatly benefit Falcons’ running back Bijan Robinson. Before last week’s debacle, Robinson had five straight games with over 20 DraftKings points while averaging 25.7 DraftKings points per game. He has been a menace in both the rushing and receiving game.
Robinson has proven to be one of the best dual-threat running backs in the league. In that five-game stretch, Robinson averaged 92.6 rushing yards per game with 23 receptions for 180 total receiving yards. He is projected for around 15-20% ownership on both sites, which is the third-highest on the slate. The matchup may be tough, but Robinson can be productive in any game script and is the top offense for a Falcons team that is averaging 22.2 points per game.
This Chargers-Falcons game stack is my favorite of the week. There are many ways to attack this game, but I prefer leaning on Herbert and McConkey with a Robinson bring-back.
Don’t forget to check out our SimLabs Lineup Generator to create advanced DFS lineups using the power of simulation:
Sam Darnold + Justin Jefferson + Jordan Addison + Trey McBride
- Sam Darnold ($5,900 DraftKings, $7,200 FanDuel)
- Justin Jefferson ($8,100 DraftKings, $8,900 FanDuel)
- Jordan Addison ($5,300 DraftKings, $6,300 FanDuel)
- Trey McBride ($5,800 DraftKings, $6,900 FanDuel)
Everything about this Minnesota Vikings and Arizona Cardinals game does not make sense to me. Why is the total only 45 points and why are the Vikings only favored by 3.5 points at home? The Vikings are coming off three straight road wins while scoring 30 points in their last game against the Bears. The Cardinals only scored six points in a road outside game in Seattle, but have averaged 24.2 points per game in a dome this season. I love this game for a sneaky shootout in U.S. Bank Stadium this Sunday.
This is by far the best season of Sam Darnold’s seven-year career. Darnold has a career-best 67.6% completion percentage with 21 touchdowns and 10 interceptions. He is also on pace for career-high rushing attempts and yards, including one rushing touchdown two weeks ago. Darnold has thrown for at least two touchdowns in four of his last five games, averaging 22.2 DraftKings points per game in those four ceiling games. This is a great spot for Darnold, who is clicking on all cylinders right now.
The Cardinals defense is allowing 218.6 passing yards per game, which ranks just outside the top 10 yards allowed. Given how well Darnold has played and the Cardinals struggling against the pass, this makes for a fantastic opportunity to get exposure to Darnold and the Vikings passing attack.
Justin Jefferson has been disappointing recently, but this is a perfect bounce-back opportunity. In his four home games this season, Jefferson is averaging 108 receiving yards per game with three touchdowns. He has recorded at least 21 DraftKings points in each game with an average of 23.1 DraftKings points per game in those home games. His price tag is affordable given his recent last three average performances.
Projected for less than 10% ownership on both DraftKings and FanDuel, Jefferson makes for a superb contrarian pay-up option. Most gamers will get to the expensive running backs on this slate, so getting exposure to Jefferson will immediately make your lineup different. Not many have the ceiling that Jefferson has to break the slate. I love him in this matchup to have a ceiling performance.
Due to the double teams and attention that Jefferson can get, Jordan Addison has been able to beat man coverage and be a great outlet for Darnold. Addison has scored in three of his last four games and is coming off a season-high 162 receiving yards last game against the Bears. He caught eight of his nine receptions and was the reason why the Vikings were able to hold off a Bears comeback.
Despite at least 15 DraftKings points in three of his last four games, Addison is drawing less than 5% ownership on both DraftKings and FanDuel this week. No one is crediting this Vikings offense, making this a great spot for a tournament stack. TJ Hockenson is also coming off a great game and is another target worth getting exposure to, but I prefer the Darnold with Jefferson and Addison team stack.
One of these weeks, Trey McBride will find the end zone, right… right? If he scores a touchdown, McBride has a chance to also break the slate. He is second among all tight ends in receiving yards per game and has a ridiculous 28% target share. Last game, McBride erupted for 12 receptions on 15 targets for 133 receiving yards. He had 28.3 DraftKings points with a season-high 45% target share.
Cardinals’ wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. has been a boom or bust fantasy producer, but McBride has been the model of consistency. McBride is the best bring-back for this Vikings stack. He is projected for the highest ceiling at the tight end position and is still reasonably priced in the mid-range this week.
