DFS Stacks: Week 15 Winners
DFS stacks are necessary when building a slate-winning DFS lineup. Every NFL DFS main slate for the remainder of the season is going to be absolutely loaded with strong plays across the salary spectrum. If you are building lineups for tournaments, GPPs, or large contests, it is absolutely imperative that you practice the art of stacking. Whether it’s a game stack or pure team stack, having multiple pieces of the most fantasy-friendly games on the slate is the way to separate you from the pack and push your roster to the top. Here are my favorite stacks to target this week in DFS Stacks: Week 15 Winners.
With that in mind, here are some of the top stacks for the Week 15 main slate on DraftKings and FanDuel. I will also throw in a contrarian option for each stack in case these plays prove to be too chalky. So fire up the Soulja Boy, because we’re about to dive into some stacks on stacks on stacks.
Rams-Seahawks Stacks
Matthew Stafford + Cooper Kupp/Van Jefferson + DK Metcalf
With Tyler Lockett now looking very questionable in this game due to a positive COVID test, we have to trust DK Metcalf here despite the mediocre performances in the last five games. Lockett would leave behind a 26% target share and a massive 41% of air yards share should he miss, and with Russell Wilson finally finding his groove again, Metcalf could have an eruption here. And no, Jalen Ramsey does not scare me off playing him.
What more can be said about the Stafford-Kupp stack this year? Kupp is threatening Calvin Johnson’s record of 1,935 receiving yards this year. The quarterback for both of those receivers was, of course, Matt Stafford. Kupp is pushing the edge of the envelope to get a 200-target season, which would be just the fourth time ever.
if you needed more of a reason to play the Rams’ duo, the Seahawks now rank 22nd in opponent completion percentage (67%) and 24th in opponent’s yards per pass attempt (7.0). They also present a type of passing funnel for defenses as they allow 62% of scores against them to come through the air. With the uncertainly of the Rams’ running back room headed into Week 15, you can be sure Stafford will be throwing early and often in this one.
Contrarian Stack: Russell Wilson + DK Metcalf + Cooper Kupp
Cowboys Onslaught Stacks
Dak Prescott + CeeDee Lamb/Michael Gallup + Tony Pollard
The discourse du jour is that something just hasn’t been quite right with the Dallas offense this year. Nothing could be farther from the truth. The Cowboys rank second in points per game (29.2), seventh in points per play (0.42), 10th in red zone trips per game (3.6), and third in yards per play (6.0). The knock on Dallas, if you are looking for holes in the armor, is that they only rank 24th in red zone touchdown percentage. They have settled for too many field goals or created too many turnovers in the red area, but that is something that seems fluky compared to the potency of the rest of their offense.
Nothing can cure those ills like a trip to visit the New York Giants. The Giants are 23rd in the league in opponent points per game (23.8) and allow the second-most red zone trips in the league, just behind their in-state counterparts the New York Jets. On the fantasy side, the Giants allow top-ten numbers to both wide receivers and running backs.
The issue often with the Cowboys is there are so many different ways to stack them. I would recommend having exposure just about everywhere on Sunday. Obviously Dak Prescott, but Elliott, Pollard, Lamb, Cooper, and Schultz are all in play. This looks like the best spot possible for the Cowboys to fix their red zone woes.
Contrarian Stack: Ezekiel Elliott + DAL DST + Kenny Golladay

Packers-Ravens Stacks
Aaron Rodgers + Davante Adams + Mark Andrews
The Baltimore pass defense has been decimated by injury and poor performance and has completely fallen off a cliff this year. They now allow the second-most passing yards per game (266.1) and that’s after only allowing 190 yards in Week 14. At home, where they play on Sunday, it is actually worse. The Ravens give up 288.8 passing yards in their home stadium which is also 31st in the league.
You may have heard, but Aaron Rodgers and Davante Adams like to play a little pass and catch from time to time. Green Bay attempted the fourth-most pass attempts in the league the past three weeks and they rank second on the season with a 71.8% passing touchdown rate. On a more micro level, the Ravens have allowed the ninth-most receiving yards to wideouts this year. This is shaping up to be a smash spot for the Rodgers-Adams combo and you can afford them with all of the value opening up due to injuries and COVID.
Whether it’s been Lamar Jackson or Tyler Huntley, Mark Andrews has been the focal point of the Ravens’ offense for six weeks. He has seen no less than eight targets in any of those games and is coming off a monster 11-catch, 115-yard game that included a touchdown. Andrews ranks third among all tight ends with 15 red zone targets this season and is the best option for a bring-back in a game that features back and forth scoring.
Contrarian Stack: Aaron Jones/AJ Dillon + GBP DST + Marquise Brown
Other Interesting DFS Stacks
Tua Tagovailoa + DeVante Parker + Jamison Crowder
DeVante Parker is pretty much the last offensive player left standing after Jaylen Waddle was ruled out for Sunday, Will Fuller remains an injury enigma, and three running backs including Myles Gaskin are on the COVID list. The Jets now allow the fifth-most fantasy points per game to quarterbacks and with Waddle and Gaskin likely out, that opens up 32% of the target share from Week 13 for Parker who has at least seven targets in five of his six games this season. It feels gross to roll out Crowder in any DFS lineup, but with Elijah Moore and Corey Davis out, he is alpha receiving option for New York. Of course, none of that matters if Zach Wilson can’t deliver the ball accurately, but plenty of targets should find their way to Crowder regardless.
Josh Allen + Stefon Diggs + Gabriel Davis + DJ Moore
Both DJ Moore and Robby Anderson have seen a bit of a revival since Cam Newton took back over as quarterback for an injured Sam Darnold. Both Moore and Anderson saw double-digit targets last game which had only happened twice this season before Week 14. Moore is the most consistent of the two so he is who I will look to stack with the Bills. The Buffalo offense broke the slate last week after Josh Allen threw the ball 54 times and rushed for 109 yards. We know Diggs is elite, but Davis stepped in after an Emmanuel Sanders injury in Week 14 and came away with eight targets and a score. At only $3,700 on DraftKings, Davis looks like the cheap wide receiver to play this week.
James Conner/Chase Edmonds + ARI DST + Amon-Ra St. Brown
Only the Jets are worse against opposing running backs than the Detroit Lions this season, but the issue heading into the weekend is what to make of the Arizona Cardinals backfield. Chase Edmonds could be activated from the IR. James Conner didn’t practice the first couple of days this week after tweaking an ankle and is very questionable. Whichever one ends up going on Sunday is in a prime spot should the other miss. With TJ Hockenson now out for the Lions the rest of the season, St. Brown has a chance to step in and continue his two-game streak of 12 targets in both contests. I don’t predict that much involvement, but Hock was the team leader in targets and Brock Wright sure isn’t getting them all.
