Daily Fantasy Football Top Stacks for FanDuel and DraftKings Week 7 - 10/22/17 Welcome back for another week of daily fantasy football. As we always do, let's take a look back and see how I did with my stack recommendations from last week. It started with rookie sensation Deshaun Watson and the Houston Texans. Gameflow did not dictate a lot of throwing as Kevin Hogan was a massive disappointment on the other side of the ball but Watson was still able to get his points by throwing three touchdowns despite being limited to 29 attempts and 225 yards. The lack of yardage hurt both DeAndre Hopkins(2 of 4 for 19 yards) and Will Fuller(2 of 5 for 62) but both ended up catching a touchdown pass from Watson to salvage the stack. Things got worse as my Charger stacks flopped in a big way as they played a very low scoring defensive battle with the Raiders last Sunday. Rivers was not bad, by any means, completing 25 of 36 passes for 268 yards and no interceptions but only threw for one touchdown on the day. He ended up targeting Keenan Allen nine times but unfortunately, he only caught five of those targets for 45 yards. It was sophomore tight end Hunter Henry having the biggest day catching five of his seven targets for 90 yards and due to the tight coverage to receivers, running back Melvin Gordon caught nine of a game-high 12 targets for 67 yards and Rivers' lone touchdown. Speaking of low-scoring games, my contrarian stack of the Steelers was also a flop last week. The lesson to learn here is that just because you like a wide receiver a ton on any given week it does not necessarily mean you need to stack him with the quarterback. This game was a perfect example as Antonio Brown went off once again catching eight of his 10 targets for 155 yards and a touchdown paying off his high price tag. Those yards made up over 50% of Big Ben's total(19/25 for 252) and was his only touchdown pass. The optimal stack in this game was pairing Brown and Le'Veon Bell who rushed 32 times for 179 yards and a touchdown. The combination fo the two was very expensive but would have made a nice separation in tournaments. Lesson learned.

We've got you completely covered. Quarterback Dak Prescott FD 8400 DK 7300 Opponent SF Proj Points FD - 23.98 DK - 24.82 When I started writing this column, it sure looked like the Cowboys were going to be without Ezekiel Elliott this week (barring some major reversal in appeals) which would have left the nearly full weight of the Dallas offense on Dak. But even with the Zeke stay of execution our system is loving Dak against a well below average 49ers defense. The latter's coming off a week in which they allowed 330 yards passing to Kirk Cousins and just stink in general. Prescott’s sophomore campaign has seen a dip in overall completion percentage (from 67% to 62%) but an increase in TDs per game (from 1.4 to 2.2 per game) as well as a slight bump in passing yards. He’s also adding more points on the ground where he ranks fifth among all QBs despite playing one game less than everyone ahead of him on the list. They haven't been able to rely quite so heavily on the run this season even in plus matchups. I think you can look for a high floor on Prescott even with the Zeke news. Russell Wilson FD 8100 DK 6400 Opponent NYG Proj Points FD - 20.69 DK - 21.45 He’s another quarterback coming off a bye playing a still decimated Giants’ team (I’m reading very little into what happened in Denver last week). Wilson's completion percentage is down a little this year off his career averages, but he's running a ton more than last season thanks to an offensive line letting interior defenders to get into the pocket sooner. It's not a huge fantasy concern seeing as how the running makes up for a lot in the points scoring department. Wilson's on pace for nearly 500 yards on the ground which is such a huge boost in the "fantasy floor" department. It makes up quite a bit of ground on traditional pocket passers and is why you'll see running QBs in these picks more often than not. The Giants are slightly better against the pass than the run this season (20th and 27th in DVOA respectively before last week's shut down of  Denver). Vegas...

Daily Fantasy Football Top Stacks for FanDuel and DraftKings Week 6 - 10/15/17 Welcome back for another week of daily fantasy football. Things are starting to heat up as week six is upon us and teams are starting to separate. The Kansas City Chiefs remain as the only undefeated team in the league with the Broncos, Eagles, Packers, and Falcons as the only one-loss teams. Week six brings us another round of bye weeks as the Bills, Bengals, Cowboys, and Seahawks will get a rest as they prepare for the remainder of the season. Before getting into this week's picks, let's quickly review my week five picks. I started last week by combining the Cowboys and Packers game as it was projected to be very high-scoring. They didn't disappoint as the teams combined for 66 points in another Aaron Rodgers dramatic 35-31 comeback victory. The only disappointing part of the game, from a fantasy perspective, was that both quarterbacks failed to reach the 300-yard mark(Rodgers-221, Prescott-251) but both threw three touchdowns. What capped those overall numbers was the fact that Aaron Jones(GB) and Ezekiel Elliott(DAL) both rushed for over  100 yards on the day. The wideouts somewhat let us down as well as Jordy Nelson only totaled two catches for 24 yards while Dez Bryant tallied five catches for 52 yards. Both ended up scoring touchdowns on the day which did help their overall fantasy totals. Overall, it could have been much better with more volume, but it also could have been much worse. Speaking of much worse, we have the Arizona Cardinals who got absolutely thumped by the Philadelphia Eagles. The Cardinals were outplayed in almost every area and ended up with just over 11 minutes less possession time which really limited the touches from a stacking perspective. Carson Palmer gave us the volume we were looking for as he attempted 44 passes on Sunday but only completed 28 of them for 291 yards and one touchdown. Five of those completions went to Larry Fitzgerald who tallied 51 yards but didn't reach the endzone. The one play that did work out in this game was Andre Ellington who continued to get his share of touches as he caught nine of his 10 targets for 65 yards. His price did come up a little bit this week but not enough to fade him considering he has received double-digit targets in back to back weeks to lead all running backs and sit second behind only Antonio Brown in that time. Let us now jump right into the week six picks. Now’s your chance to get DFSR PRO, which will give you access to our NFL optimizer for FanDuel and DraftKings, our MLB Optimizer,...
