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.
Tom Brady + Mike Evans + Leonard Fournette
- Tom Brady ($6,000 DraftKings, $7,800 FanDuel)
- Mike Evans ($6,900 DraftKings, $7,500 FanDuel)
- Leonard Fournette ($6,900 DraftKings, $7,800 FanDuel)
This is a massive get-right spot for the Bucs, and I like the idea of potentially capturing all of their touchdowns on one lineup, which is what this stack illustrates. As it stands, Tampa has the second-highest implied team total on the slate with 28.25 and is coming off a brutal home loss to the Chiefs.
Last week, Brady dropped back 52 times and threw for 385 yards and three touchdowns. Some of that was in garbage time, but the rumblings of his downfall are premature. Evans caught two of those touchdowns last week and now has three in three games played this year. Fournette only saw three carries last week, but that was an anomaly as Tampa was trailing the entire game. He did, however, catch all seven of his targets for 57 yards and a touchdown.
Right now, the two healthiest skill position players for the Bucs are Evans and Fournette, and you could make the argument that both are a bit underpriced this week, as is Tom Brady at just $6,000 on DraftKings. If the Bucs smash the Falcons, there’s a strong case to be made for all of the touchdowns flowing through these three players.
This stack costs a combined $19.8K on DraftKings and would need to net about 70 combined points to keep you on a 175-point pace and about 80 points to keep you on a 200-point pace. Last week, this trio combined for 81.1 points, and it is clear when the Bucs offense clicks it is most certainly going to be through Evans and Fournette, especially with the rest of the offense still banged up.
Cooper Kupp + CeeDee Lamb
- Cooper Kupp ($9,500 DraftKings, $9,500 FanDuel)
- CeeDee Lamb ($7,000 DraftKings, $7,200 FanDuel)
This stack is fun because you do not need to include either quarterback. Matthew Stafford literally only throws to two guys these days, so even when he gets there, you can usually just capture all of his production through Copper Kupp and Tyler Higbee. It’s quite similar in Dallas these days with Cooper Rush under center, as CeeDee Lamb has seen 11, 12, and eight targets in the three games Rush has started. Last week, the combination of Michael Gallup, Noah Brown, and Dalton Schultz saw a combined 12 targets; in other words, this is Lamb’s offense. The former Oklahoma product is third in the NFL in target share percentage
This game has a very modest total, but there is literally no stopping Cooper Kupp, who is coming off a ridiculous 14-catch, 122-yard performance against an elite 49ers defense. On the other side, the once-vaunted Rams defense, has allowed the second most DraftKings points to opposing wide receivers to begin the year. This mini stack has a real chance to combine for 50+ points in this spot, as both Lamb and Kupp will be the focal point of their teams’ offenses.
You could even include Tyler Higbee in this stack, as he’s coming off a 14-target game and is second in the NFL in target share among tight ends, trailing only Mark Andrews.
Derrick Henry + Titans D/ST
- Derrick Henry ($8,200 DraftKings, $8,900 FanDuel)
- Titans D/ST ($3,000 DraftKings, $4,200 FanDuel)
This one is extremely straightforward. Henry, despite concerns about his age and heavy workload over the past few seasons, is actually the only first-round running back paying off his ADP so far. He started off a bit slow, but each of the past two weeks has gone over 25 DraftKings points while receiving a combined 11 targets in that stretch. It appears this is a new wrinkle added to the Tennessee offense, and if this new Henry usage is more of a trend and not a blip, then we should expect monster games from him moving forward.
Washington has now allowed 24 points or more in each of their past three games, and the Titans are coming in off a nice road win against the Colts last week. On the other side, Carson Wentz has reverted back to his career norm, throwing three picks and fumbling three times across his past three games.
After getting embarrassed by the Bills on national television a few weeks ago, this Titans defense has allowed a combined 39 points to the Colts and Raiders, with a combined four turnovers forced. There is a strong chance they overwhelm Wentz this week, and Henry goes for over 100 yards and scores two touchdowns.
If that happens, you will be way ahead of the field as this does not project to be a highly owned combination.
