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.

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...

For a limited time, we're offering a free one-week trial to all the sports that we cover - that's optimal lineups for NFL and NBA - for the same low price. Get started now! START YOUR FREE TRIAL NOW! Quarterback Patrick Mahomes FD 8700 DK 7400 Opponent PITProj Points FD - 24.7 DK - 25.26 Mahomes is projected significantly higher than any other quarterback on this slate, and it’s for good reason. After struggling a bit to start the season, especially in the interception department, that was all turned around late and he finished the season strong. Over the last five weeks, Mahomes threw 12 touchdowns to just one pick, completing more than 70% of his passes in the process. The Steelers have been a good defense against the pass this season, but the Chiefs are heavy favorites at home here and Mahomes clearly has the highest floor of this group. Dak Prescott FD 8000 DK 6400 Opponent SFProj Points FD - 17.64 DK - 18.29 We have Mahomes projected for significantly more than any other quarterback on this Sunday slate, so getting away from him in cash games isn’t a direction I’m going. But if that were the case, I think we can pivot to Dak Prescott who is coming $700 less on both sites. The Cowboys have the second-highest implied total on the slate at home against the 49ers. And Dad has been accurate of late, completing passes at more than a 70% clip over his last four games. He’s also got out and run a bit more in that stretch as well. Again, I much prefer Mahomes here, but lineups might be just a bit easier to build with Dak under center. Running Back Leonard Fournette FD 7300 DK 5900 Opponent PHIProj Points FD - 18.32 DK - 20.88 Fournette is fully healthy now and looks like he will take back over lead-back duties for the Buccaneers. In his last full week before the injury, Fournette played 80% of the snaps and touched the ball 26 times (19 carries, seven targets). He should get right back into a similar role against the Eagles and Tampa Bay is a -6.5 home favorite in this one. The price is palatable on Fournette here and I suspect he’s a popular play considering the circumstances. Elijah Mitchell FD 7400 DK 5500 Opponent DALProj Points FD - 15.7 DK - 16.25 This is a trickier slate when it comes to running back with a lot of the situations tough to trust. We do know that...
Daily Fantasy NFL Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings – Week 18 Saturday Slate
Daily Fantasy NFL Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings - Week 18 Saturday Slate The 2021 NFL season is now in full swing and the DFSR team has covered with content all week long. Earlier in the week, we covered our top cash game plays and also looked at all the relevant injuries and now it's time to look at some of the top stacks for GPP formats. Now’s your chance to get DFSR PRO, which will give you access to our NFL and MLB optimizers and our new player lab! Get started for free by clicking the button below. START YOUR FREE TRIAL NOW! 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...
Daily Fantasy Football Cash Game Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings Week 17 – Main Slate
Daily Fantasy Football Cash Game Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings Week 17 - Main Slate Want access to the projections that power these picks? For a limited time, we're offering a free one-week trial to all the sports that we cover - that's optimal lineups for NFL and MLB - for the same low price. Get started now! START YOUR FREE TRIAL NOW! Quarterbacks Josh Allen FD 8800 DK 8000 Opponent ATLProj Points FD - 27.05 DK - 27.81 The Bills are still fighting for both a playoff berth and the AFC East. Even though they are -14.5 home favorites against Atlanta, this is very much a must-win game for Buffalo. And in terms of fantasy scoring, almost no one has done it better than Allen this season. He ranks behind only Cooper Kupp in DraftKings points on the year and is top amongst quarterbacks. The Falcons are the second-worst defense in the league this season, giving Allen a pristine matchup. And they also allow the 7th-most opponent plays per game as well. In terms of floor, this is the best play QB play on the slate. I think he will be a popular play here and for good reason. I actually think that in terms of safety, there is a big drop-off after Josh Allen here. As of this writing, he’d be who I ran in cash on both sites. That being said… Tom Brady FD 8300 DK 7600 Opponent NYJProj Points FD - 24.17 DK - 25.07 I don’t like to offer up non-running quarterbacks in cash all often unless they are going super cheap, but that’s just not the case with Brady. There is a narrative piece here that I do think could come into play for Tampa Tom. He is currently listed as second in MVP odds behind Aaron Rodgers and I do think, in this case, it kind of matters for Brady to continue piling on the stats. He’s had a couple of down games, but he leads the league in passing yards and touchdowns. At 12-3, Rodgers and the Packers are favorites, but Brady could make a case over the last two weeks if they want to run up the score and pass a ton. I’m not usually narrative guy, but in this case, I think I can see a path to a big game. Running Backs Warning: There are tons of solid/ great running back options this week. I think there are 6-7 ways you can conceivably go in cash. Jonathan Taylor FD 10000 DK 9000 Opponent LVProj Points FD - 25.92 DK - 27.52 Sure, the price is through the roof but it’s for good reason. Taylor is having a truly...
