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.
DeAndre Hopkins + Tyler Allgeier
- DeAndre Hopkins ($7,700 DraftKings, $8,100 FanDuel)
- Tyler Allgeier ($5,300 DraftKings, $6,700 FanDuel)
Never thought I would write this sentence, but thank god Colt McCoy is back. After getting hurt mid-game in Week 15, Trace McSorley started last week against the Bucs and looked horrid. McCoy, of course, is not good, but he’s serviceable enough to lock onto DeAndre Hopkins and get him the ball in space.
In three games this season that McCoy finished, Hopkins has DraftKings point totals of 19.8, 18.1, and 13.9. Obviously, those totals are nothing to write home about, but Hopkins will be facing off with the Falcons’ secondary this week, a team that has allowed the sixth most receiving touchdowns and that ranks 24th in the league in DraftKings points allowed to opposing wideouts.
On the other side, rookie Tyler Allgeier has very quietly been playing great football these past few weeks. He went nuts against the Saints two weeks ago, posting 139 yards and a touchdown, before going over 100 scrimmage yards again last week against the Ravens. He’s operating as the Falcons’ workhorse at the moment and gets a great matchup with the Cardinals this week.
Arizona has allowed the seventh most rushing touchdowns and both the fifth most receptions and receiving yards to opposing running backs.
Travis Kelce + Jerry Jeudy
- Travis Kelce ($8,100 DraftKings, $8,300 FanDuel)
- Jerry Jeudy ($6,400 DraftKings, $7,000 FanDuel)
Kelce has been really coming on of late after a few subpar weeks in a row, going over 105 yards in back-to-back weeks. He should keep the good times rolling this week against a Broncos team that appears to have completely packed it in for the year.
They just got absolutely lambasted by the Baker Mayfield-led Rams, 51-14 last week. In that game, Denver gave up a 9/94/2 line to Tyler Freaking Higbee. Imagine what Kelce is going to do to this defense this week? Things can go south in a hurry when teams play at Arrowhead, and it could easily be a spot where Kelce is wide open in the middle of the field getting chunk plays all day long. He’s not cheap, which is why Mahomes is not included here, but of course, you could always throw Mahomes onto this for full correlation.
Despite the Broncos quiet quitting and getting their coach fired, Jerry Jeudy has really started to play well as the season winds down. The Alabama product has gone over 73 yards each of his past three games, which ironically started with the Chiefs in Week 14, where he also caught three touchdowns.
On the season, the Chiefs have been extremely forgiving to opposing wide receivers, having allowed the second-most receiving touchdowns and fourth-most DraftKings points to the position.
Saquon Barkley + Giants D/ST
- Saquon Barkley ($8,00 DraftKings, $9,200 FanDuel)
- Giants D/ST ($3,900 DraftKings, $4,700 FanDuel)
This one is pretty simple for anyone who watched that Monday night calamity between the Colts and Chargers. Nick Foles absolutely looked like a guy who has not played quarterback in over a year. He took a whopping seven sacks and threw three interceptions in the game.
Even when he wasn’t throwing picks, he just looked absolutely lost, and I would expect a sharp defensive coordinator like Wink Martindale to have his defense 100% prepared in a game where if the Giants win, they make the playoffs. Of course, the Giants D/ST is not cheap this week, but the Chargers defense put up 20 points last week without scoring a touchdown. There is major upside here, as the Colts simply have no juice right now.
Usually, we start these writeups with the running back as the lead, but it’s more so about getting exposure to this Giants defense in a dream home spot this week. Having said that, Barkley has looked rejuvenated these past couple of weeks, and the Colts have been awful at defending running backs on the year.
Barkley has posted 133 and 120 yards from scrimmage in each of his past two games while finding paydirt in both as well. Austin Ekeler scored two touchdowns last week against this Colts defense, and it would come to the surprise of no one if Barkley replicated that performance. At $8,000, he could even be slightly underpriced for his current role,
