Indianapolis Colts Quarterback - Andrew Luck Primary Target - T.Y. Hilton This week is a little different from the previous few as there are only two games with a Vegas Total greater than 50 and of those quarterbacks, only one stands out. Winston and Osweiler have been very inconsistent, and while Nick Mullens has the nut matchup this week he has such a small sample size. Andrew Luck, on the other hand, has everything going his way lately and checks off almost every single box. First of all, the Colts have the highest implied total(29) of any team and come in with a four-game win streak on the back of the Luck and the offense who have averaged 36.5 points per game in that stretch. Luck's success has gone back even further as he is on a historic run with seven straight games with three or more touchdowns and has tallied 22 or more fantasy points in each of those contests. He is even shaking the "declining arm strength" tag he was given early in the season as illustrated by his 68-yard bomb to Hilton last week over the top of Adoree' Jackson, one of the fastest corners in the game. The matchup on paper may not look the best as the Dolphins are only giving up 250 passing yards per game(19th) but considering Luck torched the #3 ranked passing defense in Jacksonville two weeks ago, I am not worried at all. I will once again be pairing Luck with Hilton as he has been the only consistent option in the passing game since his return. Baltimore Ravens Quarterback - Lamar Jackson Running Back - Gus Edwards The zone-read came into play last week for the Ravens who started Lamar Jackson in place of the injured Joe Flacco. Alex Collins was essentially phased out early in the game and for good reason as Jackson and Edwards combined for 43 carries and 234...
Daily Fantasy Football Top Stacks for FanDuel and DraftKings Week 11 – 11/18/18
Daily Fantasy Football Top Stacks for FanDuel and DraftKings Week 11 - 11/18/18 Welcome back football fans. The Week 11 main slate is a bit tricky on the surface as there are six teams on a bye but the real issue is that six other very fantasy viable teams are playing in Primetime. This is where the Player Lab really comes in handy to break down and find the best matchups. Let's dig in and take a look at a couple of the top stacking options that stand out when using the DFSR tools. Want to see the rest of this article?

START YOUR FREE TRIAL - AND READ THE REST! This is the first week of the season using the Player Lab where I used up to four filters and it produced this many options. Looking at games with high vegas totals that include quarterbacks with projected for 40+ attempts on teams that rely heavily on passing for total yards and touchdown, the Player Lab spit out five quarterbacks. Of those five players, three are averaging over 300 yards passing per game and below I will highlight two of them. Let's get started. Philadelphia Eagles Quarterback - Carson Wentz Primary Target - Zach Ertz Secondary Target - Golden Tate Carson Wentz missed the first two games of the season recovering from injury and while he let us down in Week 3, he has been extremely consistent since. In those six games, he has thrown for 300+ yards four times with multiple touchdowns in each game and averaged 24.6 DraftKings/ 21.9 FanDuel points per game. I list Zach Ertz as my primary target here for a couple reasons starting with his elite floor and upside. He is fourth among all pass catchers in the league with an average of 11.1 targets per game and has an elite 75% catch rate and is 11th overall with 789 receiving yards. What I like even more is that roster construction seems to favor paying up for multiple elite running backs making it tough to fit Ertz in your lineup forcing people to punt at the tight end position. Not that Ertz will be super low owned as he is in a class of his own but stacking him with Wentz and then getting an elite running back could help separate a bit in GPP formats. After Ertz, I like pairing Wentz with newcomer, Golden Tate. He had a rough first game with his new team catching just two of four targets and could...
Daily Fantasy Football Top Stacks for FanDuel and DraftKings Week 9 – 11/4/18
Daily Fantasy Football Top Stacks for FanDuel and DraftKings Week 9 - 11/4/18 Welcome back football fans. Week 9 brings us another smaller main slate of games(10) as six teams(CIN, IND, NYG, PHI, ARI, JAX) are on bye weeks. We already went over our top plays for cash in our weekly Cash Game Article so let's now jump in and take a look at some of the top stacking options for GPP formats.

Minnesota Vikings Quarterback - Kirk Cousins Primary Target - Adam Thielen There are three games this week with 50+ Vegas Totals including the Saints/Rams game which has a season-high 60! You can bet all of those QB/WR combos are going to be chalky this week so I am going to go in a bit different direction with my first stack. The Vikings are at home as 5.5 point favorites vs. the Lions who do rank Top 10 in passing yards per game given up but also rank 30th when looking at DVOA against the pass. The matchup isn't what stands out, however, it is the Vikings and their leaning on the passing game this season. They are third in the league in pass vs. rush % and have totaled 78% of their total yards and 76% of the teams offensive touchdowns through the air. Kirk Cousins is one of just five quarterbacks who is projected for 40 or more pass attempts this week but is the only one of those who is completing over 70% of his passes for the season. He is also second in the league with 2,521 yards and sixth in touchdowns with 16. He is also elite when breaking down matchups for his wideouts and while it was Stefon Diggs getting most of the target share last week catching 10 of his 11 targets for 119 yards and a touchdown(30.9 DK/22.9 FD points), Thielen caught all seven of his targets for his record-tying 8th straight 100+ yard game. This week I am looking to stack Cousins with Thielen almost exclusively as Diggs is going to see a heavy dose of Darius Slay on the outside leaving Thielen to get the MUCH better matchup against a combination of Nevin Lawson and Teez Tabor. You can almost guarantee Cousins knows all about the record and will do everything in his power to get Thielen past Calvin Johnson and no better time to do it than against Megatron's old team. Carolina Panthers Quarterback -...

Daily Fantasy Football Top Stacks for FanDuel and DraftKings Week 8 – 10/28/18
Daily Fantasy Football Top Stacks for FanDuel and DraftKings Week 8 - 10/28/18 Welcome back football fans. With a week where four teams are on Bye's and another London game, we have a smaller 10-game slate once again. We went over our top picks for cash games in the Cash Game Article so now let's take a look at some of the top stacking options for GPP formats. Want to see the rest of this article?

START YOUR FREE TRIAL - AND READ THE REST! Indianapolis Colts Quarterback - Andrew Luck Primary Target - TY Hilton Secondary Target - Eric Ebron When breaking down games with Vegas Total(50+) and a thin spread(3.5 or less) with quarterbacks who are projected to throw the ball a ton, there was only one name that popped up this week on the Player Lab. James wrote him up in his Cash Game Article this week and not only does he possess a high floor but he also provides us with a ton of upside for GPP formats as well. A common topic with Luck since his return from injury is the lack of arm strength which resulted in a low 6.3 yards per attempt but I am not concerned at all. Not only does he lead the league with a whopping 311 passing attempts he also sits second to Patrick Mahomes in touchdown passes with 20. The Colts currently have the fifth-highest implied points(26.8) on the main slate and of those five teams this game is the only one with a spread of 3.5 or less so we can most definitely expect and other 40+ attempts. Even with Marlon Mack going off last week in a runaway against the Bills, Luck still managed to throw four touchdowns and is averaging 29.7 DraftKings/27.2 FanDuel points per game over his last four. Making this stack even more enticing this week is that T.Y. Hilton should be even closer to 100% health in week 8. He returned to action last week after missing two weeks and while he only managed 25 yards, he caught all four of his targets and also scored two touchdowns. He has 100+ yard receiving upside and is my top player to stack with Luck in week 8. It also makes sense to get Eric Ebron in your Colts stacks as he is tied for second in the entire league in receiving touchdowns with 6 and is sixth among tight ends with 357 receiving yards. The other thing that stands out for Ebron is...
