High Upside Game Stack - Chargers/Browns Justin Herbert FD 8200 DK 7100 Opponent CLE Proj Points FD - 22.12 DK - 22.12 Mike Williams FD 7400 DK 7100 Opponent CLE Proj Points FD - 14.9 DK - 17.88 Nick Chubb FD 9400 DK 8000 Opponent LAC Proj Points FD - 17.94 DK - 18.46 There are a ton of ways I will be stacking this game in multi-entry GPP formats but let's start off with my favorite build. A lot of people will be going with the Eagles this week but there is one key stat that has me point towards Herbert/Williams as my top QB/WR stack. For GPP's we are always looking for big plays and Hurts faces the Cardinals who has allowed the fewest fewest deep completions and fewest yards on those deep plays while Herbert faces a Browns defense that has allowed the 5th most deep completions and 4th most yards on those plays. That lines up very well with Mike Williams who has a 12.2 aDOT this season and has tallied double-digit targets, seven or mroe receptions and 100+ yards in two of three games with Keenan Allen out of the lineup. That leads us to Justin Herbert who has been terrific this season with 279 passing yards, multiple touchdowns, adn 23 or more fantasy points in three of four games and the game he underperformed, he was far less than 100% dealing with a rib issue. We will have to monitor Keenan Allen's status before we full-send on this stack but he missed practice on Wednesday and Thursday leading me to believe he will miss yet another game. On the other side, I will be running it back with Nick Chubb in most of my builds in this game stack. He enters the game as one of just four running backs getting over 20 rush attempts per game, is second in rushing yards, and second in rushing touchdowns. He has also been invovled in the passing game with eight targets which is only five fewer than teammate Kareem Hunt. He now faces a Chargers...

Game Stack - Atlanta Falcons/Cleveland Browns Marcus Mariota FD 7300 DK 5600 Opponent CLE Proj Points FD - 18.17 DK - 18.17 Drake London FD 6300 DK 6100 Opponent CLE Proj Points FD - 10.84 DK - 13.31 Amari Cooper FD 7500 DK 6300 Opponent ATL Proj Points FD - 14.25 DK - 17.57 I originally had the Raves/Bills game stack plugged into this spot but Doug talked about the high floor/high ceiling of stacking Allen and Diggs in the cash article so I am going to pivot off for a couple of reasons. First of all, stacking them together with a run-back of Mark Andrews is a very expensive route and leaves us value hunting at almost every other spot. Instead, I will go with a value quarterback in Marcus Mariota who has impressed early in the season returning at least 3x value in all three games. He faces a Browns defense that ranks 21st in DVOA against the pass and 21st in fantasy points to the quarterback position. Picking who to stack with Mariota is fairly easy, as well with 57% of the targets going to two players. I lean towards Drake London who has been getting 32% of those and has been impressed in his rookie season with 54 or more yards in each game and has scored a touchdown in back-to-back games. He faces a Cleveland defense that ranks 23rd in fantasy points to wideouts and in terms of upside, has given up the 6th most completed deep balls and 4th most completed yards on those deep balls(via NFL Savant). Choosing a run back is also fairly easy here as Jacoby Brissett has concentrated his targets as well and I will ride with wideout Amari Cooper who is getting 30% of those. He started out slow this season with just three catches in week one but has caught 16 of 21 targets in weeks two and three with back-to-back 100-yard games, reaching the endzone in both. This stack is also very affordable and allows us to fill in with pieces of the more chalky Ravens...
Daily Fantasy NFL GPP Stacks for FanDuel and DraftKings – Week 3
Daily Fantasy NFL GPP Stacks for FanDuel and DraftKings - Week 3 Welcome back football fans. Week 3 is here and we gave you our top cash game plays earlier in the week.

Chalk Stack of the Week - Buffalo Bills Josh Allen FD 9000 DK 8200 Opponent MIA Proj Points FD - 23.05 DK - 23.85 Stefon Diggs FD 8300 DK 7700 Opponent MIA Proj Points FD - 16.84 DK - 20.71 This stack checks all the boxes starting with a game that has the highest total(53.5) and fairly close spread(BUF -5.5). While the Bills are currently passing the ball under 60% of the time, that has been the direct result of two blowouts to start the year. Despite that fairly low pass %, Josh Allen and Stefon Diggs have been crushing with Allen throwing for an average of 307 yards through two games with seven passing touchdowns while adding 66 yards on the ground and a rushing touchdown. For Diggs, he has looked uncoverable catching 20 of his 24 targets for 270 yards and four touchdowns. With that dominance, it is also a bit surprising to see his price barely jump up where he is the 5th and 6th most expensive wideout on DraftKings and FanDeul this week. The matchup is another good one for the Bills as they face the Dolphins who rank 31st in DVOA pass defense and rank 29th and 22nd in fantasy points against quarterbacks and wide receivers. With this being a projected close game, I also love running this stack back with a Dolphins wideout and the good news is that they have two elite playmakers in Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle. I will have a mix of both of them in my lineups but lean towards Waddle who is the cheapest. Leverage off the Chalk - Kansas City Chiefs Patrick Mahomes FD 8700 DK 7900 Opponent IND Proj Points FD - 23.34 DK - 24.13 Travis Kelce FD 7800 DK 7900 Opponent IND Proj Points FD - 16.02 DK - 19.54 There is going to be heavy ownership on Josh Allen and the Bills stack and looking specifically at the quarterback position, Jalen Hurts is also going to be very highly owned. This creates an excellent leverage spot to use Patrick Mahomes who may not be as mobile and have the same floor but definitely has the same...
Daily Fantasy NFL GPP Stacks for FanDuel and DraftKings – Week 2
Daily Fantasy NFL GPP Stacks for FanDuel and DraftKings - Week 2 Week one is in the books and it's now time to gear up for another profitable week. Doug once again got things started with his Cash Game article and now I will be looking at some of my favorite stacks to help you take down GPP contests. I am going to do things a little different and look at a wide variety of stacks including the chalky/most popular choices, some off-the-board stacks, as well as some leverage/low-owned stacks to help us separate our lineups from the herd.

START YOUR FREE TRIAL NOW! High Floor/High Upside Chalk - Las Vegas Raiders Derek Carr FD 7300 DK 6200 Opponent ARI Proj Points FD - 17.58 DK - 18.4 Davante Adams FD 8800 DK 8600 Opponent ARI Proj Points FD - 21.48 DK - 26.16 There is a good chance this stack is the most popular one this week and it makes a ton of sense as it provides us both a very high floor and ceiling. Adams came over to the Raiders in the offseason to join his College teammate Derek Carr and while we were unsure how it would work out going into the season, we learned a ton in week one. Carr targeted Adams 17 times for an insane 46% target share(highest in the league) and while Adams only caught 10 of them, he turned it into 141 yards, got into the endzone once, and tallied 33 DK/25.1 FD points. The price justifiably went up on both of them as they return to Las Vegas for their home opener in another terrific matchup. They face the Cardinals who got destroyed by the Chiefs in week one giving up 360 passing yards and five passing touchdowns to Patrick Mahomes. While it was Travis Kelce(8-121-1) doing most of the damage, the Cards did not have a corner that rated out better than 75th in week one when looking at coverage rankings(via PFF). This game has the highest total(51.5) on the main slate by a wide margin with the Raiders favoured by 5.5 points. This is easily my favorite stack of the week and one I will build around in all formats. Other options to stack in this game: Darren Waller(TE) makes a ton of sense after seeing what Travis Kelce did to this defense a week ago. Waller was good, not great in week one catching 4 of 6 targets for 79 yards. The...
Daily Fantasy NFL GPP Leverage Stacks for FanDuel and DraftKings – Week 1
Daily Fantasy NFL GPP Leverage Stacks for FanDuel and DraftKings - Week 1 The 2022 NFL season is back and we are ready to deliver all of our DFS content week in and week out. Doug got things started earlier in the week with his cash game picks and now it's time to look at some GPP stacks that may could be under-the-radar and help us get to the GPP pot of gold.

New Orleans Saints Jameis Winston FD 6700 DK 5300 Opponent ATL Proj Points FD - 17.56 DK - 18.2 Alvin Kamara FD 8500 DK 7600 Opponent ATL Proj Points FD - 15.96 DK - 17.6 Chris Olave FD 5000 DK 4500 Opponent ATL Proj Points FD - 6.76 DK - 8.14 Let's kick things off with the Saints who have one of the best matchups in week one against a Falcons defense that ranked 29th in both rushing and passing DVOA in 2021 and made minimal improvements in the offseason. While you would think with this matchup they would be higher owned I just don't think that will be the case with the lowest totals(41.5) on the slate combined with so many other great options that won't be hard to stack given the very fair week one pricing. Let's start with Jameis Winston who is no stranger to chucking the ball downfield with 12+ yards per completion in all six seasons in which he has started at least seven games. He comes into the 2022 season with better weapons including the return of Michael Thomas(questionable for week one) and the Saints also drafted Chris Olave with the 11th pick and with Thomas and Landry expected to dominate the underneath routes, Olave should get a lot of work downfield which brings with it a ton of fantasy upside. If he comes out and shines in week one, there is a chance his price takes a huge jump into week two so this could be the time to buy low and get in before he becomes a household name. There is a chance Michael Thomas misses week one as he is dealing with an injury and that has me wanting some exposure to Alvin Kamara. I am not normally stacking running backs with my QB/WR stacks but Kamara fits as he is one of the best pass-catching backs in the league. What I like most about Kamara in GPP as he will provide some leverage off the very...

Quarterback Patrick Mahomes FD 8500 DK 7500 Opponent DEN Proj Points FD - 24.16 DK - 24.7 We are usually talking about motivation for teams in the final week of the regular season but so many teams are either still fighting for a spot or positioning. The Chiefs are in the latter category as they come in as the #2 seed with a shot at the #1 but also a shot at finishing #3 or #4. The good news is the offense has really turned it up down the stretch as they have scored 30 or more points in four straight led by Mahomes who has thrown for 250+ yards and multiple touchdowns in each of those games. The matchup isn't that bad either as the Broncos come into the final week of the regular season ranked #20 in DVOA vs the pass. All things considered, Mahomes is my top play at the position on Saturday. Jalen Hurts FD 7700 DK 6300 Opponent DAL Proj Points FD - 21.86 DK - 22.55 Both the Eagles and Cowboys have clinched a playoff berth but both can improve their seeding so I fully expect to see the starters throughout. I fully expect Dak to be higher owned as he easily has the better weapons so for GPP formats, I prefer a lower owned Hurts. While he hasn't been nearly as consistent as he was earlier in the season, he has still provided a nice floor with his legs alone and could be relied on even more in that department this week with Sanders out with injury and Scott/Howard on the Covid list. With a chance of being the third-highest owned QB on a two-game slate, I love the play for GPP formats. Running Back Darrel Williams FD 7000 DK 5900 Opponent DEN Proj Points FD - 15.76 DK - 18.07 With Edwards-Helaire ruled out for a second straight week, Darrel Williams will once again be the lead back for the Chiefs. He out-snapped Gore 49-8 last week and was terrific rushing 14 times for 88 yards(6.3 per...
