To quote the great Michael Rasile, “It’s a great day to be alive.” I hope everyone enjoyed their Holidays thus far and are ready to get back into action for the NFL DFS GPP Week 16 slate. For those who haven’t read it yet, please check out the Week 16 Cash Game Checkdown for your bankroll sustaining, cash game build advice.
In addition, I would strongly advise reading my NFL DFS Strategy article I published this offseason, before diving into the 2020 NFL DFS season. If you have any questions or would like some further help when building your lineups, please do not hesitate to reach out to me directly on Twitter.
For those looking to get different and make a splash in some GPPs, the time is now. We’ll usually be taking some heavy stances on lower-ownership players, but at times, there is certainly good “chalk” to eat. Let’s get into it.
Please note, everyone on our cheatsheet and the Cash Game Checkdown are also in play for GPPs. This is more to uncover some players people are not talking about… and they should be.
*Keep in mind, you DO NOT NEED to just build your GPP lineups around these players. Players from the Cash Game Checkdown are there because they have extremely high floors and high ceilings. They are key components you should probably build around no matter what type of contest you’re in*
**This article is not meant to tell you about how good of a spot Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce, Tyreek Hill, and Le’Veon Bell are in. They’re arguably in one of the best spots they’ve been in all year and I’d never tell you to fade that. If the Chiefs are the core of your GPP lineups, you’re probably in a great spot.**
Good luck to all this week in your NFL DFS GPP lineups!

The purpose of this weekly article is to identify players in positive situations that the public may be overlooking in NFL DFS. If you’re going to be playing a lot of chalky players like Le’Veon Bell, Alvin Kamara, Julio Jones, Michael Thomas and some other players with ~30% ownership in Week 12, it’s never a bad idea to find a player or two that will help differentiate your lineup from the rest of the field. Look no further than Stick’s Sleepers.
Typing out Trubisky’s name almost made me sick, but here he is. This is a much more optimal play for DraftKings at that price tag – so please don’t fire him up like crazy on FanDuel at $7k.
First off, the Giants’ pass defense ranks 28th in DVOA – yikes. If you take out the Week Four game against the Redskins, the Giants’ have given up 28.89 points per game – which is among the worst in the NFL.
In addition to that, this team is giving up and average of ~23 DraftKings’ points per week to opposing QBs (and ~47 to opposing receiving cores) over the past month! Trubisky’s pass attempts (and execution) haven’t really been there on a consistent basis, but if the Giants’ can score some points in this game, Trubisky should have no issues carving up their secondary and finishing around 20 DraftKings’ points – which would put him at 4x value (on DraftKings) at ~2% ownership.
Trubisky isn’t going to break the slate, but you can easily stack him with Allen Robinson or Taylor Gabriel and barely make a dent in your lineup’s salary cap.
No, Saquon Barkley is not a “sleeper” but in Week 12, he’s going to be under 12% owned… I’m in. I clearly am okay with pairing up Trubisky and a Bears’ wide receiver in my NFL DFS GPPs this week and I really like the idea of running it back with Saquon Barkley and/or Golden Tate.
Tate has a matchup against Buster Skrine in the slot and should have no issues tearing him up. Evan Engram is out with injury again and it just so happens that Tate has had his best games of the season in both games Engram.
Week Six: 6 catches – 102 yards – 1 TD
Week 10: 4 catches – 95 yards – 2 TDs
Tate is going to be the most targeted player in the Giants’ passing game and should continue to thrive in Engram’s absence. You can game-stack Trubisky-Robinson-Barkley-Tate and still have plenty of salary left over for guys like Kamara and Julio Jones.
Kenny Golladay at 3-5% ownership is something I’ll always be interested in. I don’t love the chemistry with Jeff Driskel, but I’m not afraid of it in a GPP format. In terms of “blow-up potential”, Golladay certainly has that (so does Marvin Jones, so this isn’t a lock play by any means) and that is something I look for when adding players into my GPP player pool.
Golladay should see a decent amount of Josh Norman in coverage and that is a matchup I know Golladay can exploit. Can Driskel get him the ball in areas where he can make big plays? I’ll take that risk this week.
Conley hit value for us last week in the inaugural Stick’s Sleepers article and he finds his way back into it this week. Conley may not have 20+ point upside, but I have projected for right around 13 DraftKings’ points. I pick on LeShaun Sims as much as possible in DFS and that is the matchup Conley will have most of the day on Sunday. If he can find his way into the end-zone, Conley should make for a nice salary-saving, contrarian GPP play.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
QB: Mitch Trubisky
RB: Saquon Barkley
RB: Alvin Kamara
WR: Odell Beckham Jr.
WR: Calvin Ridley
WR: Anthony Miller
TE: Vance McDonald
FLEX: Golden Tate
DST: Denver Broncos

The purpose of this weekly article is to identify players in positive situations that the public may be overlooking in NFL DFS. If you’re going to be playing a lot of chalky players like Drew Brees, Christian McCaffrey, Brian Hill, Michael Thomas and some other players with ~30% ownership in Week 11, it’s never a bad idea to find a player or two that will help differentiate your lineup from the rest of the field. Look no further than Stick’s Sleepers.
As of now, it’s looking like Jameis Winston is going to come in under 5% owned on both DraftKings and FanDuel in Week 11. While everyone is going to play Drew Brees, why not build your GPP lineups around Jameis Winston?
There are many reasons I’m heavily interested in Winston this week (I’ll probably dive into in more detail on Sunday’s Livestream), but I’ll summarize below.
– New Orleans is currently ranked 7th in run defense DVOA. Yes, Ronald Jones looked solid last week against the Cardinals’ poor excuse of a defense, but that is not going to happen against New Orleans. The Bucs have struggled to run the ball in ~88% of their games this year and I anticipate that being the case in Week 11.
– Game script. Tampa Bay’s defense allows the most points per game in the NFL (31.0). Well, assuming the Saints have no issues putting up points early and often, Winston is going to have to throw the ball A LOT to try to keep this game close. That’s exactly the game script I want when rostering a QB in an NFL DFS GPP.
– We know who to pair with Jameis Winston. We all know how important QB/WR-TE correlation is in NFL DFS. Some of my hardest decisions throughout the week are figuring out what pass catchers to pair with my DFS QBs that I want to play. That isn’t an issue for weeks I use Jameis Winston. It’s Godwin and Evans (and maybe O.J. Howard) plain and simple. It’s likely that Marshon Lattimore misses this game, so that not only boosts up Mike Evans, but also Jameis Winston.
Mixon is going to get the nod for the inaugural Stick’s Sleepers article. I anticipate Mixon being around 10% owned on DraftKings and less than 5% on FanDuel, which makes him an obvious “DFS Sleeper”. I’ll keep this one brief.
– Oakland is allowing ~30 DraftKings points per game to oppose running backs over the past month. The weak spot of this Oakland defense is still the secondary, but they’re not a matchup to completely avoid running backs lately.
– Opportunity. With Ryan Finley now starting at QB for the Bengals, we saw Zac Taylor move to a run-focused offense in Week 10. Maybe Taylor was just trying to run the clock and get the bloodbath over with, but my guess is that he doesn’t have a lot of faith in Finley. Mixon was on the field for over 75% of the Bengals’ offensive snaps for the first time all year (some of that is due to Gio Bernard getting hurt) and should be leaned on heavily again in Week 11 to mitigate Finley’s chances at making mistakes.
– Price. More applicable to DraftKings, but Mixon is extremely affordable and helps us pay up for guys like McCaffrey and Michael Thomas. In terms of opportunity and price, Mixon looks like a perfect guy to pay down for in your NFL DFS GPP lineups.
No one seems to be interested in rostering a Patriot in DFS this week and I’m not quite sure why. Yes, there are plenty of other games to focus on for DFS exposure, but why would you not include the Patriots pass-catchers in your player pool against a true pass-funnel defense in Philadelphia?
Edelman gets an insane amount of targets week in, week out and is projected for 22 DraftKings points on my model. Assuming the Patriots’ game-plan is to attack this Philadelphia defense’s weak spot (their secondary), Edelman should be in store for one of his best fantasy outings on the season.
Now it’s time to get a little cute. If you watch the Sunday Livestream at Win Daily, you know I love to tout a 1% owned, flyer type of player. This week, my guy is going to be Chris Conley. I re-watched the portion of Foles’ last game (Week 1 against KC) and really liked what I saw regarding the rapport between Conley and Foles. Take that for whatever it is worth, lol.
With Foles back, I think everyone gets a bump up on this Jaguars offense. D.J. Chark is certainly in play, but I’d rather take the savings Conley offers so we can continue to build around those expensive studs I’ve mentioned earlier in the article.
If you read the cash game article from earlier in the week, you know I’m confident in Dallas Goedert this week. We always want to love Zach Ertz, but I truly believe Belichick and the Patriots’ will scheme to take Ertz out of the picture on Sunday (especially if Alshon Jeffrey misses the game with an injury).
DeSean Jackson is done for the year, so I know Philadelphia is going to go back to their two tight-end packages quite often against the Patriots. Goedert is an excellent route runner and should be a heavy focus in the Eagles passing game with or without Alshon Jeffrey suiting up. He is an excellent 1% owned DFS punt-play who will be on the field for over 70% of the Eagles’ offensive snaps.
