Week Five was insanely high scoring – probably the highest I’ve ever seen. Hopefully you checked out the stacks in last week’s post and got your NFL DFS GPP lineups across the pay-line.
It’s another excellent week to use 50% or more of your bankroll towards single entry cash games. Please check out our Cash Game Checkdown before you set your DFS lineups for Sunday. But, lets get to work on Stick’s Stacks for Week Six.

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
Atlanta Falcons @ Arizona Cardinals (51)
Both of these defenses are historically bad and both of these offenses play at a very high pace. The total in this one opened up at 47 points and was quickly bet up by both the public and “sharper” sports gamblers. Were going to follow suit and attack this game.
Both quarterbacks are projected to be under 10% owned and there really isn’t any heavy chalk associated with this game at the moment. I’ll keep an eye on ownership projections and advise if there is anything notable, but regardless, I don’t think there is any reason to fade either side of the ball in this one.
Atlanta Falcons
I’m not going to get very cute with the Atlanta Falcons like I did last week when touting Mohamed Sanu and Calvin Ridley. This is a game where I think Julio Jones, Freeman, and Hooper do most of the damage. If you want to get contrarian and save some salary, Ridley and Sanu are fine.
- Matt Ryan ($6,400)
- Julio Jones ($8,000)
- Austin Hooper ($5,000)
- Devonta Freeman ($5,800)
- Mohamed Sanu ($4,500)
- Calvin Ridley ($5,700)
Arizona Cardinals
- Kyler Murray ($6,500)
- Larry Fitzgerald ($6,100)
- Christian Kirk ($5,200)
- David Johnson ($7,600) – I hate that price, probably a fade for me besides in MME formats. Watch out for his health as well – Edmonds may be a free square is Johnson is out.
- KeeSean Johnson ($3,900)
Houston Texans @ Kansas City Chiefs (55)
Not a whole lot to say about this game besides shoot-out city. Personally, I like the ATL/AZ game a bit more due to ownership reasons and I really don’t think the Kansas City pass defense is that bad. Having said that, a total of 55 points is tough to ignore.
We have some injury concerns on the Kansas City offense that we’ll need to keep an eye on, so it outside of Mahomes/Kelce, we would be shooting at the hip when picking another Chiefs’ pass catcher. Not to mention the three-man timeshare at the running back position in KC… All in all, it seems like more of a headache when building a KC stack unless you just keep it simple and lock in Mahomes with Kelce.
One thing I do like is the Houston defense allowing the most receptions to opposing running backs and Damien Williams is very affordable.
Houston Texans
- DeAndre Hopkins ($7,400)
- Carlos Hyde ($4,400)
- DeShaun Watson ($6,700)
- Will Fuller ($6,000)
- Duke Johnson ($4,100)
Kansas City Chiefs
- Patrick Mahomes ($7,500)
- Travis Kelce ($7,000)
- Damien Williams ($5,700)
- Mecole Hardman ($5,300)
- Byron Pringle ($3,500)
- Sammy Watkins ($6,200) – Looks like he’s highly questionable to suit up.
- Demarcus Robinson ($5,900)
San Francisco 49ers @ Los Angeles Rams (50.5)
This game has sneaky shootout potential in terms of DFS ownership. I anticipate most players will focus on the two games above (and for good reason), but this game in LA should be a good one. The pace will be there and it’s a contrarian game to attack in DFS.
San Francisco 49ers
- Jimmy Garoppolo ($5,700)
- George Kittle ($5,200)
- Marquise Goodwin ($4,500)
- Matt Breida ($5,100)
- Tevin Coleman ($4,400)
- Dante Pettis ($3,900)
Los Angeles Rams
- Cooper Kupp ($7,100)
- Robert Woods ($5,700)
- Jared Goff ($6,100)
- Todd Gurley ($6,200) – Injury concerns – make sure he is active on Sunday!
- Gerald Everett ($3,600)
- Brandin Cooks ($5,400) – Great value, but may miss this one with a concussion.
Top NFL DFS GPP Team Stacks
Baltimore Ravens
Highest implied total on the slate so you have to give them consideration. I would usually back off on this one due to the run-heavy gamescript Vegas is hinting at, but remember Week One? Lamar Jackson and Hollywood Brown went off! They are always capable of hooking up for a few deep balls despite the blowout concerns in this game.
- Lamar Jackson ($6,900)
- Marquise Brown ($6,200)
- Mark Ingram ($6,600)
- Mark Andrews ($4,800)
Dallas Cowboys
They got embarrassed last week and should come out firing early against a terrible Jets team as a whole. I love Elliott and I love Amari Cooper this week. Tyron Smith should return as well this week – that is always great news for the Cowboys’ offense.
- Amari Cooper ($7,000)
- Ezekiel Elliott ($8,500)
- Dak Prescott ($6,200)
- Michael Gallup ($5,600)
- Jason Witten ($3,900)
