Daily Fantasy Football Top Stacks for FanDuel and DraftKings Week 4 – 9/30/18
Daily Fantasy Football Top Stacks for FanDuel and DraftKings Week 4 - 9/30/18 Looking at some of the GPP results from last week, the leaderboards were once again flooded with stacks including the most profitable combinations were the three-headed monster that is Brees/Kamara/Thomas for the Saints, Matt Ryan/Calvin Ridley for Falcons and the ultra low-owned Jared Goff/Robert Woods for the Rams. This not only proves that stacking is crucial to cashing big in GPP's but also that you can do it with chalky options like the Saints or riskier low-owned stacks like the Rams. With that said, let's jump in and look at some of my top stacks for week 4 using the tools here at DFSR. Want to see the rest of this article?

DFS NFL Podcast – Week 4 Cash Game Plays for FanDuel and DraftKings 9/27/18
DFS NFL Week 4 Cash Game Plays for FanDuel and DraftKings 9/27/18 DFSR's Doug Norrie and James Davis jump on the podcast to break down some cash game plays for Week 4's main slate on FanDuel and DraftKings. With some teams on byes and some of the bigger impact fantasy plays on Thursday, Sunday night and Monday night, we do seem to get a somewhat constricted player pool for cash. The guys discuss Deshaun Watson and Mitch Trubisky as dual-threat quarterbacks in plus matchups coming relatively cheap for what they bring to the table. They also look at the probability of another Alvin Kamara chalk week and some other running back options. And then there are some mid-tier WRs who have seen excellent target share to start the season. All of this and more on the Week 4 Cash Game podcast for FanDuel and DraftKings.

We've got you completely covered. Quarterback Deshaun Watson FD 7600 DK 6300 Opponent IND Proj Points FD - 22.67 DK - 24.11 From a fantasy perspective, Watson got there in Week 3 by picking up some garbage time points on his way to a 385 yard, two touchdown performance against the Giants. The Texans were horrible in the red zone, fumbling, throwing an interception and settling for field goals until they were in panic mode late in the game. I was bullish on Watson as a cash game play last week and am again this time around against the Colts. Indy’s been middle of the road against the pass this season from both a total yards and yards-per-attempt standpoint. They don’t give up a ton in the way of pace but considering Watson’s multiple ways to tack on fantasy points, I do think he has a higher floor in this matchup. From a running perspective, there appear no after effects of the ACL injury with Watson racking up the third-most QB rushing yards in the league through three weeks. He also stands to benefit going forward with both Hopkins and Fuller on the field together. In a thin-spread game (Indy -1) with optimal conditions in the dome, it’s not out of the realm to have Watson as the highest-scoring QB on the main slate (no Mahomes, Big Ben, etc). Mitch Trubisky FD 6800 DK 5200 Opponent TB Proj Points FD - 20.88 DK - 21.91 One way to roll on DraftKings as we get into the season is targeting cheaper quarterbacks with high floors. That’s the case I see with Trubisky who turned in DK weeks of 16 and 15 points before getting stymied in Week 3 against the Cardinals. He was efficient enough 24/35 (69%) but lacked the yards through both...
