Kansas City Chiefs Patrick Mahomes FD 9200 DK 8300 Opponent LAC Proj Points FD - 25.68 DK - 25.68 Travis Kelce FD 8500 DK 8000 Opponent LAC Proj Points FD - 16.07 DK - 19.73 Both Mahomes and Kelce are the most expensive players at their respective positions making the rest of lineup construction tricky but it will be so hard to avoid at least some exposure. This game has the highest total(48) on the slate, the Chargers rank dead last in overall defence, 30th against the pass, and also rank 32nd and 23rd in fantasy points to the QB and TE position. Perfect timing as Mahomes is still searching for the big upside game despite being extremely consistent and Kelce is coming off his first 100+ yard game of the season. Look for the duo to go off and have a good shot at being in the optimal GPP-winning lineup. Value plays I like to make this stack work Zach Evans(RB-LARM) is near min price on both sites, is a three-point home favorite, and should get the majority of the touches with Kyren Williams out. On DraftKings, the Ravens defence is a near lock in this stack as they are just $2,500 while leading the league in sacks and sitting second in redzone conversion rate. Washington Redskins Sam Howell FD 7400 DK 5500 Opponent NYG Proj Points FD - 17.5 DK - 17.5 Terry McLaurin FD 7200 DK 5400 Opponent NYG Proj Points FD - 11.68 DK - 14.28 Curtis Samuel FD 6400 DK 4000 Opponent NYG Proj Points FD - 8.87 DK - 10.92 While the cost of a Commanders' stack is much lower, it is risky in its own way thanks to one of the lowest totals on the slate. For the most part, I think people will be looking for exposure to the Washington running back with the Giants ranking 31st in rush defence and 27th in fantasy points against the position. I like pivoting a bit to the value stack as Sam Howell has been very consistent with 17 or more fantasy points in five...

Get started for free by clicking the button below. START YOUR FREE TRIAL NOW! Quarterbacks Patrick Mahomes FD 9200 DK 8300 Opponent LACProj Points FD - 25.28 DK - 25.28 Chiefs and Chargers have the highest total on the main slate of games and it isn’t all that close with the game sitting four points higher than the next closest one. Patrick Mahomes is QB4 in DraftKings scoring on the season this one could be something of a shootout. You are paying a premium on Mahomes for sure, but there should be cheaper running backs to smooth salary concerns out for overall lineup construction. Geno Smith FD 7000 DK 6000 Opponent ARIProj Points FD - 18.45 DK - 18.45 Gen Smith is coming cheaper on both sites and gets one of the best matchups on the slate facing off against the Cardinals at home. He isn’t having quite the season we saw last year, off that pace in terms of yards and touchdowns with the completion percentage down as well. But the Cardinals have the 31st-ranked defense on the season and this is a get-right spot for sure. I like stacking Geno and Kenneth Walker (will get to him in a second) in cash games because the floor should be very high for the offense in general. Running Back Isiah Pacheco FD 7400 DK 6100 Opponent LACProj Points FD - 16.27 DK - 18.22 Having exposure to the Chiefs after Mahomes can get tough because, at least in the pass game, the wide receivers are all over the place. And Travis Kelce is very expensive. But Pacheco is still coming at something of a value. He’s playing about 60-65% of the offensive snaps and last week had elite usage with 16 carries and 6 targets. This kind of role in one of the best offenses in football is too good to pass up and his price doesn’t match at all. Kenneth Walker III FD 8800 DK 7000 Opponent ARIProj Points FD - 16.85 DK - 18.34 While he’s expensive on FanDuel, this is definitely a spot to play Kenneth Walker on DraftKings considering the context. We love playing home running backs on teams that are big favorites and that’s the case with the Seahawks here. They are -8 against the Cardinals who rank 29th in run defense on the season. Walker got 76% of the offensive snaps in Week 6, carrying the ball 19 times while also seeing three targets in the...

Quarterbacks Joe Burrow FD 7500 DK 6300 Opponent SEAProj Points FD - 21.01 DK - 21.01 Any concerns about lingering health issues for Joe Burrow and the calf injury were seemingly wiped away in Week 5 when he looked all the way back against the Cardinals. He completed 36 of his 46 passes for 317 yards and three touchdowns, connecting with Ja'Marr Chase over and over (and over and over) again through the air. He’ll look to keep the good times rolling here against the Seahawks who don’t provide a ton of threats in coverage and are allowing the most opponent plays per game on the season. Matthew Stafford FD 7300 DK 6100 Opponent ARIProj Points FD - 20.32 DK - 20.32 We typically like to focus on running quarterback for cash simply because their respective floors are so much higher when they can get points on the ground. That being said, there’s a case to be made for Matthew Stafford here considering the matchup against the Arizona, the game total, and his weapons. The Cardinals allow a top 25% pace to opponents and rank 25th in average yard per pass attempt. Stafford has been putting the ball in the air around 40 times per game and now has both Cooper Kupper and Puka Nacua to target. Strongly consider Kirk Cousins going against a terrible Bears defense. Running Back Raheem Mostert FD 8500 DK 6400 Opponent CARProj Points FD - 18.88 DK - 20.71 De'Von Achane is out with an injury and we could be headed back to the Raheem Mostert show on the ground for the Miami Dolphins. Back in Week 2 when Achane was injured, Mostert got 73% of the snaps and carried the ball 18 times for 121 yards and two scores. That kind of workload could be in the cards once again in the game against the Panthers. It doesn’t look like Jeff Wilson is back in the mix and Salvon Ahmed is just there for relief even when healthy. Dial up Mostert here in cash without reservation. Travis Etienne Jr. FD 7700 DK 7100 Opponent INDProj Points FD - 18.91 DK - 20.94 Raheem Mostert does get a little expensive on FanDuel where fitting the salary might be just a bit challenging. If that’s the case then there are a couple of pivots for a bit (or a lot) cheaper who offer some...

Daily Fantasy NFL Stacks for FanDuel and DraftKings - Week 5 Week five in the NFL is here and DFSR has you covered. Earlier in the week, we looked at our top overall plays for DraftKings and FanDuel and now it's time to look at some stacks that help us get to the top of our GPP contests. Let's get started.

Baltimore Ravens Lamar Jackson FD 8400 DK 7800 Opponent PIT Proj Points FD - 21.66 DK - 21.66 Zay Flowers FD 5900 DK 5500 Opponent PIT Proj Points FD - 12.84 DK - 15.54 Mark Andrews FD 7600 DK 5500 Opponent PIT Proj Points FD - 10.66 DK - 13.09 In our main picks article, Doug mentioned he liked Hurts slightly more than Mahomes in the top tier and I think the ownership rounds out that way, as well. With that said, I think there is a great opportunity to pivot to a lower-owned stack with similar upside. This game has the lowest total on the slate but the Steelers' defence has been pretty bad ranking 30th overall in yards per game, 26th against the run, and 29th against the pass. On top of that, they rank dead last in yards per completion(12.7) and 22nd in redzone defence. It all starts with Lamar who leads all QBs in rushing attempts per game(10.3) and rushing yards(220) and has hit a higher ceiling in fantasy points than both Hurts and Mahomes and has done it in back-to-back weeks. While Flowers has yet to score and have that breakout game, he has been consistent, catching 83% of his targets and also has a 42% target share in the redzone for the Ravens. The price is still very fairly price making him my favorite stacking option with Lamar. The final piece for me is Mark Andrews who is third in pricing among tight ends this week and has looked good since returning from injury scoring three touchdowns in two games. If he can get back to a heavy target share and high-yardage games, we likely haven't seen the ceiling yet. Minnesota Vikings Passing Game Kirk Cousins FD 7600 DK 6900 Opponent KC Proj Points FD - 19.81 DK - 19.81 Justin Jefferson FD 9200 DK 9400 Opponent KC Proj Points FD - 22.58 DK - 27.22 T.J.

Get started for free by clicking the button below. START YOUR FREE TRIAL NOW! Quarterbacks Jalen Hurts FD 8600 DK 8000 Opponent LARProj Points FD - 24.84 DK - 24.84 The Eagles and Rams have the second-highest total of the main slate at 50.5 and there is a good chance of debate between whether to play Jalen Hurts or Patrick Mahomes in this tier. I’m going with Hurts because he’s a bit cheaper and his work on the ground gives him a slightly higher floor than Mahomes. That being said, it’s very close here. Hurts is still getting out and running about 10 times per game and has elite weapons. The Rams are above average in opponents' yards per pass attempt and overall pace, but I’m still on Hurts here regardless. Zach Wilson FD 6700 DK 4900 Opponent DENProj Points FD - 17.18 DK - 17.18 Ok, stick with me here for a second. Before getting too caught up with the name, let’s look at some of the context. For starters, Zach Wilson is coming sub-$5K on DraftKings which gives a lot of flex in the rest of the lineup. Secondly, he’s facing off against a Broncos team allowing 8.9 yards per pass attempt on the season, worst in the league. Third, he started to look downright competent against the Chiefs last week, completing 71% of his passes for 245 yards and two touchdowns. Plus there’s just a little bit of running here. This is more an opponent play than anything else, but it warrants discussion. Strongly consider Matthew Stafford Running Back De'Von Achane FD 7500 DK 6100 Opponent NYGProj Points FD - 18.55 DK - 19.81 De'Von Achane has had a ridiculous last couple of weeks, racking up 304 yards on the ground in just 26 total carries while also picking up another 49 through the air on nine targets. He’s been ultra-efficient and explosive and that is set to continue this week against the Giants. The Dolphins are -11 home favorites against a Giants team allowing 4.4 yards per carry to opponents and looking like they might be dead men walking. Achane is likely to be a chalk play on both sites and he’s coming off playing 60% of the running back snaps last week. Alvin Kamara FD 7100 DK 6300 Opponent NEProj Points FD - 17.21 DK - 20.53 Alvin Kamara came back from suspension and instantly stepped into a lead-back role with 54% of the snaps and a...
