DFS Stacks: Week 7 Winners
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 7 Winners.
With that in mind, here are some of the top stacks for the Week 7 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.
Kansas City Chiefs + Tennessee Titans Stacks
It’s not really financially feasible to roster the stack everyone wants to use: Patrick Mahomes + Tyreek Hill + Travis Kelce + Derrick Henry. Henry is $9,200 on DK and an eye-popping $11,000 on FD. The stack actually can be accomplished on DK, but it looks really ugly at the rest of the wide receiver and flex spot. I would love to see someone try it to see if it works, however.
That means you are going to have to be creative with this one. But considering both teams are bottom-five in points allowed to quarterbacks, there are plenty of options. All of Mecole Hardman, AJ Brown, and Julio Jones (if healthy) are in play here and may be required to make a full game stack.
If Jones sits this one out, Brown will likely become a must-play for me in this one. Brown had a 36% target share and 45% air yards share in Week 6 and will be called on frequently in a game that looks likely to shoot out.
Contrarian Stack: Ryan Tannehill + AJ Brown + Darrell Williams
Matthew Stafford + Cooper Kupp + D’Andre Swift
I predict that this will be the most popular stack in tournaments this week. Matthew Stafford as a GPP play isn’t sneaking up on anyone, and the worry is now will he be too popular in large-field contests.
It’s tough to find a path through this game where the Rams don’t dominate in all phases, which leads me to rely on Stafford and Kupp, the most dynamic duo the NFL has through the first third of the season. At just $7,100 on DK and $8,100 on FD, Stafford is just too cheap for the hammer he is about to bring down on his old team. Kupp is the likely beneficiary, and it’s to the point where he needs to have a higher salary than Davante Adams and Tyreek Hill each week.
Swift is top-two among all running backs in target share, targets, receptions, receiving yards, and is fourth in receiving touchdowns. And that’s before he does anything on the ground. Swift has been the Henry of garbage time this year, and this game looks to feature plenty of it.
Contrarian Stack: Darrell Henderson + LAR DST + TJ Hockenseon

Jalen Hurts + Devonta Smith + Darren Waller
Never scoring less than 21 fantasy points on either DFS site, we could not care less about the real-life performance of Jalen Hurts when he gives us so much fantasy goodness each week. The passing volume and efficiency is often, how should I say it, interesting from week to week. But Smith is far and away the leader in target share and air yards share on the Eagles.
Waller’s salary on DK is under $7,000 for the second straight week, which presents a great buying opportunity against this Eagles’ linebacker crew. Philadelphia allows top-10 production to tight ends this year, including 17 DK points per game.
This game is under the radar the third-highest total on the main slate Sunday and is worth having some exposure in tournaments. Hurts is also an excellent cash game quarterback option.
Contrarian Stack: Derek Carr + Henry Ruggs + Dallas Goedert

Other Interesting Stacks
Matt Ryan + Calvin Ridley + Jaylen Waddle – This game is sitting in that question mark zone in the Vegas lines at 47.5 total points. The experts don’t know whether this will be a high-scoring affair or a matchup of two struggling offenses. But this one has sneaky shootout potential, especially with Ridley back from his two-week hiatus from the bye week and personal issues. Ridley still sits 10th in target share this year even with the lackluster start. Waddle may have one of the lowest aDOTs in the league, but he is top-15 in targets and seems to have the old Alabama connection working with Tua Tagovailoa.
Lamar Jackson + Marquise Brown + Ja’Marr Chase – I’m frankly surprised this implied total isn’t higher than the current 46 (as of Thursday night). Both teams have adequate defenses but have been ultra-efficient on offense this season. Chase is proving to be the true alpha among Bengals’ pass catchers, leaving Tee Higgins and Tyler Boyd behind while he catches multiple deep bombs every week. Jackson and Brown have teamed up to be one of the more lethal DFS duos this year, and Cincinnati has allowed the fourth-most receptions to wide receivers on the season.
Kyler Murray + DeAndre Hopkins + Brandin Cooks – The targets may be hit or miss lately, but Hopkins has three touchdowns in his last two games and remains a focal part of this offense, led by MVP frontrunner Kyler Murray. You know Hopkins is going to want to come out and smash his old team. Cooks doesn’t have much touchdown equity, but he has at least seven targets and 10 DK points in five of six games this year.
