NFL DFS: The Sunday Stacks – Week 8

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 focused  

Miami Dolphins (at Detroit Lions)

QB Tua Tagovailoa, WR Tyreek Hill The Dolphins’ offense has been a bit Helter Skelter of late but this is a good environment and matchup for them to do well in. Tua is fairly priced at $6,200 to offset some of the hefty salary of Tyreek Hill. Hill can be the slate-breaking receiver this week against a bad Lions secondary on a fast track in Detroit. Run it Back: WR Amon-Ra St. Brown St. Brown being matched up potentially with Xavien Howard a bunch could steer some people away from the Lions’ top receiving threat. The last two games have been busts for AMSB as he’s still been recovering from injury but this week he should be back close to full strength in a potential shootout game.

Las Vegas Raiders (at New Orleans Saints)

QB Derek Carr, WR Davante Adams Another value quarterback on this slate is Carr and pairing him up with Adams seems to be the right way to start to attack the Saints’ pass defense. Adams has seen nine, seven, 10, and 13 targets in the last four games exceeding 95 receiving yards in all but one of those contests. Adding in Hunter Renfrow and his incredibly affordable $4,900 salary is a good piece as the Raiders’ slot receiver. The slot corner position is one that should be exploited here and look for Carr to attack that area of the field. Run it Back: WR Chris Olave The kid is a stud, plain and simple and New Orleans will be without Michael Thomas and Jarvis Landry this week. Olave saw 14 targets resulting in seven receptions for 106 yards last week. A similar output is more than possible in another high-scoring affair.

Also consider: Minnesota Vikings: QB Kirk Cousins, WR Adam Thielen. Run Back: WR DeAndre Hopkins Seattle Seahawks: QB Geno Smith, WR Tyler Lockett. Run Back: RB Saquon Barkley
