Week 12 wasn’t as good as I would have liked it to be. We were on a hot run there for a while with our NFL DFS GPP entries based off of the main stacks on this article, but you can’t win them all. I love the way this Week 12 slate is shaping up, so let’s get right to it.

The purpose of this weekly article is to identify team/game stacks that we are going to use for an NFL DFS GPP. For those of you that don’t know, a “team stack” is simply multiple players from the same team (I rarely ever use more than three players on a given team).
A “game stack” is similar, except we are going to use players from both teams in a given game. Focusing on team stacks and game stacks is incredibly useful in the NFL DFS GPP environment. That being said, let’s get to this week’s top NFL DFS stacks for DraftKings!
Top NFL DFS GPP Game Stacks
Tampa Bay Buccaneers @ Atlanta Falcons (-4) O/U (51)
This game in Atlanta looks to be the only game on the slate with a total higher than 48 points. I’m sure it will be extremely popular, but for good reason. Both of these defenses are pass funnels and both of these defenses rank towards the bottom of the NFL in pass defense DVOA. This game should host a lot of fireworks for DFS players.
The best part about getting exposure to this game is that we know who is going to be involved in the fantasy point production.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers
- Chris Godwin ($7,200)
- Mike Evans ($7,300)
- Jameis Winston ($6,200)
- Scotty Miller ($3,100) – Not sure what to think about Scotty Miller. Let’s classify him as an absolute punt-play who we should probably wait on. Week 11 was only the second time all year he cracked 50% of the snaps.
Atlanta Falcons
- Julio Jones ($8,000)
- Matt Ryan ($6,700)
- Calvin Ridley ($6,500)
Seattle Seahawks @ Philadelphia Eagles (-2) O/U (48)
No longer interested in this game stack. Pivoting to Miami @ Cleveland. Will have some exposure to both teams, but will be underweight here.
The second game that I’m interested in stacking is going to be in Philadelphia. I’m undecided on what I think the pace of this game will play at, but there are plenty of playmakers in this game that should make for a nice game stack. Keep an eye on the status of Tyler Lockett as he is clearly one of the most appealing targets to use in DFS from this matchup.
Top NFL DFS GPP Team Stacks
Cleveland Browns
I didn’t think I’d ever write-up the Cleveland Browns, but they are currently sitting with a 28-point implied total and obviously have a lot of negativity going around in the media. This should be a statement game. This should be a game where Baker Mayfield and the Browns offense go off.
Miami ranks 32nd in pass defense DVOA and 29th against the run. As of now, this is my favorite stack to invest in outside of Tampa Bay @ Atlanta.
- Odell Beckham ($7,000)
- Jarvis Landry ($6,300)
- Nick Chubb ($8,100)
- Baker Mayfield ($5,900)
- Kareem Hunt ($5,600)
Miami Dolphins
I definitely don’t love the Dolphins by any means, but I do like this game’s chances at going well over the total of 45.5 points. Cleveland should be able to score at will and this Cleveland defense is banged up. Miami should be able to push the pace here and put up points.
- DeVante Parker ($5,200)
- Mike Gesicki ($3,400)
- Ryan Fitzpatrick ($5,000)
- Allen Hurns ($3,300)
- Kalen Ballage ($4,400) – Not high on him at all.
- Patrick Laird ($3,400) – Punt play.
Detroit Lions
If you’re looking for some salary relief that offers a lot of upsides, give the Lions a serious look in your large-field GPPs. The Lions currently have an implied total of 23 points and rising. I probably won’t use three Lions in the same lineup, but I have a lot of interest in Kenny Golladay this week who should see a lot of Josh Norman.
- Kenny Golladay ($6,600) – Top Five GPP WR play for me this week (assuming he’s around 5-8% ownership).
- Jeff Driskel ($5,500)
- Marvin Jones Jr. ($6,100)
- T.J. Hockenson ($6,100)
- Bo Scarbrough ($4,200) – Not very interested in stacking Scarbrough with Driskel, but could pair him with Detroit’s defense if you want to roll the dice on playing him. Probably better off using him on FanDuel if you want to take this risk.
- Detroit Lions DST ($3,100)
Chicago Bears
The Bears are a mess, there is no getting around that. They will be incredibly low owned and have a very nice matchup against a Giants’ team that has allowed 25 or more points in all but one game all year (and that was the Redskins). It’s disgusting, but if Trubisky is healthy, I’ll be over the field in ownership with the Bears. They are a nice salary relief spot to afford other studs in your GPP lineup.
I’ll most likely throw in one of Golden Tate, Darius Slayton, Evan Engram, or Saquon Barkley on the other side of my Bears stacks.
- Allen Robinson ($6,500)
- Taylor Gabriel ($4,200)
- Mitch Trubisky ($5,100)
- David Montgomery ($5,500)
- Tarik Cohen ($4,800)
- Anthony Miller ($3,500)
