Game Stack - Chiefs vs. Titans Patrick Mahomes FD 8800 DK 8400 Opponent TEN Proj Points FD - 25.6 DK - 26.14 Mecole Hardman FD 5400 DK 4300 Opponent TEN Proj Points FD - 7.79 DK - 9.57 Derrick Henry FD 11000 DK 9200 Opponent KC Proj Points FD - 23.45 DK - 24.87 It will be a full stars and scrubs build if game stacking the Titans and Chiefs this week as Henry and Mahomes, the two top plays in this game, are both at the top of the price range at their positions. This might lower their ownership a bit considering the difficulty building out the rest of the lineup but either way, this is a very high upside situation. Mahomes and the KC passing game face a Titans defense that is 27th in DVOA defense against the pass(via FantasyOutsiders) and rank 29th and 32nd in fantasy points against QB's and WR's respectively. While I would prefer to pair him with Kelce or Hill, it just isn't feasible if you want to run it back with Henry so I prefer Mecole Hardman in this spot. He is the WR2 for the Chiefs and has been trending up lately catching 13 of 17 targets for 138 yards over the last two weeks. On the other side of the ball, you have Derrick Henry who leads the league with an insane 29.7 touches and 153.5 scrimmage yards per game. He now faces a Chiefs defense that ranks 31st in DVOA defense vs. the rush. In a potential shootout, I want as much exposure to this game as possible and for GPP purposes, this is my favorite way to stack it without completely killing the rest of my lineup. Running Back/Defense Stack Damien Harris FD 6800 DK 5700 Opponent NYJ Proj Points FD - 11.17 DK - 11.57 NE FD 4800 DK 3400 Opponent NYJ Proj Points FD - 8.7 DK - 8.7 This one is a little off the board but the game script sets up amazing for this combination to smash at a possible low ownership. Let's start with Harris who is an...

Quarterbacks Lamar Jackson FD 8400 DK 7400 Opponent CINProj Points FD - 25.61 DK - 26.33 He didn’t turn in a world-beater in Week 6, but it was more about a little bad luck than anything else. The Ravens crushed the Chargers 34-6 and were so in control of the game that they simply didn’t need Jackson to do anything else. He only threw for 167 yards and a touchdown (Hollywood Brown dropped an easy one) and put up 51 yards on the ground. Again, it wasn’t anything to write home about, but he got scripted out of the game more than anything else. The Bengals have been better than advertised on defense this season, ranking in the top-10 in DVOA. But the way Lamar scores points, his floor is just safer than anyone else at the position on a game-to-game basis. Patrick Mahomes FD 8800 DK 8400 Opponent TENProj Points FD - 25.6 DK - 26.14 There is a case to pay all the way up for Mahomes here considering the game total, matchup, and the fact that he is Patrick Freakin Mahomes. He now ranks second on the season in DraftKings points per game behind only Derrick Henry. And we saw that the Chiefs are going to need to continue relying on the aerial game considering they ran for less than four yards per carry last week against the Washington Football Team. Mahomes is very expensive, but the Chiefs have a whopping 30.5 implied total coming in here. Running Backs Leonard Fournette FD 7000 DK 6400 Opponent CHIProj Points FD - 18.57 DK - 20.63 We like to look for running backs as big home favorites as a starting place for cash games and Fournette definitely fits the bill there. The Bucs are -13 against the Bears coming into this game and Fournette has taken over RB1 duties for Tampa Bay. He’s played about 70% of the snaps for the Bucs over the last three weeks and has been pretty efficient when getting the ball. He’s averaging about 4.5 yards per carry in that stretch with more than five targets per game in the passing attack. The Bears have been a decent defense on the season, but Fournette is still underpriced for his role and the Bucs being such big favorites. Darrell Henderson Jr....

Kansas City Chiefs Passing Game Patrick Mahomes FD 9000 DK 8300 Opponent WAS Proj Points FD - 25.21 DK - 25.75 Travis Kelce FD 8500 DK 7000 Opponent WAS Proj Points FD - 15.46 DK - 18.82 This is likely a Top 3 highest owned stack this week but that doesn't mean we should immediately avoid it. While the Chiefs have struggled to a 2-3 record in the standings but it's definitely not on the offense who ranks 5th overall in terms of points per game(30.8). They have been terrific both through the air(5th in passing yards per game) and on the ground(7th in rushing yards per game). Good news for the passing game for fantasy now that Clyde Edwards Helaire has been placed on the IR. It will be Darrel Williams making his first start and he will be chalky himself so one way to differentiate is just going full pass game build. That starts with Patrick Mahomes who may be 7th in passing yards per game(298) but is first in passing touchdowns(16) and has the KC offense ranked 4th in my RedZone rankings(TD's per trip to RZ). My complete player pool for KC depends on the status of Tyreek Hill who has not practiced all week and if he is limited or out, I see Travis Kelce taking on an even larger role with a projected 10-15 targets. The cost is high but the upside is slate-breaking. Lock and load for GPP! Cincinnati Bengals Joe Burrow FD 7400 DK 6300 Opponent DET Proj Points FD - 17.84 DK - 18.37 Ja'Marr Chase FD 7800 DK 6700 Opponent DET Proj Points FD - 14.1 DK - 16.89 Joe Mixon FD 7000 DK 6400 Opponent DET Proj Points FD - 16.16 DK - 17.51 I am going right back to a Bengals stack this week despite only putting up 22 points a week ago against the Packers. First of all, they get a much better matchup against a MUCH weaker NFC North opponent in the Lions who rank 22nd in points per game against. Don't get...

Game Stack - Dallas Cowboys vs. New York Giants Let's start week 5 off with some chalk as this NFC East showdown has the highest total(52) on the main slate. When looking at the defensive matchups, the Cowboys and Giants have given up the 2nd and 13th most passing yards and the 4th and 8th most fantasy points per game given to the quarterback position. For the offenses, they rank 12th and 17th in pace and 7th and 14th in passing yards per game. I fully expect a high pace/high-scoring game which has me loving it for multi-entry with tons of combinations available. Let's start with two of my favorite stacks from this game. Dak Prescott FD 8100 DK 6900 Opponent NYG Proj Points FD - 20.98 DK - 21.66 CeeDee Lamb FD 6900 DK 6200 Opponent NYG Proj Points FD - 10.52 DK - 12.78 The Cowboys have a very dynamic backfield combination of Ezekiel Elliott and Tony Pollard which has them throwing less than last season but that hasn't slowed Dak's fantasy production. He has been very efficient completing 75% of his passes(2nd to only Kyler Murray) and is one of just four QB's with double-digit touchdowns through four weeks. I love pairing him with CeeDee Lamb who should see a boost in volume this week with Amari Cooper playing banged up with multiple injuries & is coming off a week where he saw a huge decline in snap count. The Giants aren't a cakewalk here(18th in Fpts to WR) but with a projected high pace, and likelihood Zeke is chalk, I love the pivot to the passing game which is fairly priced and has huge upside. Daniel Jones FD 7400 DK 6000 Opponent DAL Proj Points FD - 21.3 DK - 22.06 Kenny Golladay FD 6200 DK 5900 Opponent DAL Proj Points FD - 12.39 DK - 14.64 On the other side of this game, we have a Giants offense that ranks 7th in passing yards game thanks to a great start from Daniel Jones who is averaging 296 yards per game. For fantasy,...

Quarterbacks Daniel Jones FD 7400 DK 6000 Opponent DALProj Points FD - 21.3 DK - 22.06 Don’t look now, but Daniel Jones is fantasy QB7 on the season through the first four weeks. It’s thanks to a couple of things working in the third year’s favor. For starters, he’s increased his accuracy to 67%, up from 61% the last two seasons. And it’s come from actually throwing the ball downfield with more accuracy, ranking third overall in average completed air yards per NFL Next Gen stats. And he also ranks third overall in quarterback rushing yards behind only Lamar Jackson and Jalen Hurts. From a fantasy perspective, Jones is putting it together this season and should be playing from behind against the Cowboys on Sunday. Ryan Tannehill FD 7200 DK 6400 Opponent JAXProj Points FD - 20.78 DK - 21.42 Yes, Ryan Tannehill and the Titans lost to the lowly Jets in Week 4, a brutal loss for a team that has stumbled out of the block early. But they draw another easy matchup in Week 5 against the Jags who, unlike the Jets, have been completely terrible on defense this season. Jacksonville ranks 30th in defensive DVOA and dead last against the pass. It sure looks like we can stack Tannehill and Henry (see below) in cash and feel pretty good about it leading into Sunday. Running Backs Derrick Henry FD 10400 DK 9000 Opponent JAXProj Points FD - 24.42 DK - 25.83 The usage has been borderline insane the last couple of years and this season is making those years like total child’s play. Through four games Henry has 128 total touches (rushes + targets) which is 36 more than the next-closest guy (Joe Mixon). Basically, Henry has played something like 1.5 more elite touch games than anyone else. It’s nuts. The wheels have to come off at some point, but it hasn’t happened yet. Things are lining up for another million touches in this game and he’s a tough fade, especially on DraftKings ay $9K. Ezekiel Elliott FD 8000 DK 7000 Opponent NYGProj Points FD - 19.15 DK - 20.13 The good news on Zeke is that in a downhill game last week against the Panthers he played 75% of the offensive snaps and put up a whopping 143 yards on 20 carries. He only saw...
