Stacks That I Have My Eye On
Below I’ll break down the particular stacks I’m interested and delve into it based on matchup, ability, predicted game script, and collective salary while picking an opposing player or two to run that stack back with if appropriate. *Note: All pricing is DraftKings focusedTampa Bay Buccaneers (vs. Atlanta Falcons)
QB Tom Brady, RB Leonard Fournette, WR Chris Godwin Despite being heavy favorites, the Buccaneer’s top fantasy assets (in this case Brady, Fournette, and Godwin) should not only be productive en route to points being put up on the board but expect Tampa to keep its foot on the gas throughout. The Bucs had a 21-point lead last week heading into the fourth quarter and Brady still found a way to throw the ball 52 times. Fournette saw a massive share in the passing game and Godwin comes into this game with six and seven receptions in his last two games respectively while being priced at just $6,100. Run it Back: WR George Pickens It’s been no secret that Kenny “Picked Off” Pickett has been locked in on Pickens, the rookie out of Georgia who has all the makings of being a star in this league. Pickens has seen eight targets in each of the two games that Pickett has started and is dirt cheap at $4,600.[spacer height=”13px”]
Cleveland Browns (vs. New England Patriots)
QB Jacoby Brissett, WR Amari Cooper It’s not every day that we’re talking about stacking the Browns but at least in this mini-stack with Brissett and Cooper, there’s some merit. Typically we know that Bill Belichick will do everything possible to stop the opponent’s top option or strength. In this case, that would be Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt – the running game. When looking at the top pass-catching option, Cooper shapes up as a top option at a great value. With a lot of high-priced position players to target this week, consider this lower-owned, value correlation in some lineups. Run it Back: RB Rhamondre Stevenson
Stevenson will be the chalk running back du jour because of his value and the absence of Damian Harris. With that being said, he’s a play that I’m just going to lock in and move on with. I expect this to be a close game with the Patriots coming away with a win whilst Stevenson sees 25+ touches.

Also consider: Arizona Cardinals: QB Kyler Murray, WR Rondale Moore, TE Zach Ertz, Run Back: RB Kenneth Walker San Francisco 49ers: QB Jimmy Garropolo, RB Jeff Wilson, Jr., WR Deebo Samuel[spacer height=”13px”]
GOOD LUCK!!
