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 focused
Arizona Cardinals (vs. Seattle Seahawks)
QB Kyler Murray, WR Christian Kirk, TE Zach Ertz
One of the games that have playoff implications is this one for the Cardinals who can clinch the NFC West with a win. Over the last two weeks, Kyler Murray has been throwing and running the ball effectively and should be able to move the ball against the poor Seattle secondary. Murray will look to get the ball to Christian Kirk as the free agent to be has seen nine, nine, and 12 targets over his last three games. Ertz has been a major difference-maker since coming over from the Eagles and has nine, 13, 11, and seven receptions in his last four games. The veteran had a strong effort the last time these two teams met with eight catches for 88 yards and two touchdowns.
Run it Back: WR D.K. Metcalf
Metcalf had been quiet for quite some time before scoring three touchdowns in last week’s game giving him four scores in two games. Metcalf has cracked 100 yards receiving just once this season but this is a good spot for him to finish strong.
Los Angeles Rams (vs. San Francisco 49ers)
QB Matthew Stafford, WR Cooper Kupp, WR Odell Beckham, Jr.
There are some milestones in reach here as Matthew Stafford is looking to top 5,000 yards passing once again and Cooper Kupp need 12 catches to break Michael Thomas’ record and 136 yards receiving to break Calvin Johnson’s record. More importantly, the Rams clinch the NFC West with a win or a tie against San Francisco so the Rams will definitely be playing this as a “regular game”. Odell Beckham has five touchdowns in six games since coming to the Rams and has built a chemistry with Stafford and Sean McVay fitting in with this offense nicely.
Run it Back: WR Brandon Aiyuk
Regardless of who starts whether it’s Jimmy G or Trey Lance, Aiyuk is underpriced at $5,600. He has just four catches in each of his last two games but he has the explosive ability and he’s far more affordable than Deebo Samuel ($8,500) and George Kittle ($6,900)
Also consider:Minnesota Vikings: QB Kirk Cousins, WR Justin Jefferson, RB Dalvin Cook
Tampa Bay Buccaneers: QB Tom Brady, WR Mike Evans, TE Rob Gronkowski
Buffalo Bills: QB Josh Allen, RB Devin Singletary, WR Stefon Diggs
GOOD LUCK!!
