Stacking to Win It: NFL Week 6

Welcome back to Stacking to Win it. In this article I will give you my top stacks of the week. I will give you my top two stacks to consider, a value stack and a team that I feel is flying under the radar to consider.

The Patriots are by far your top stack once again this week, but I am not going to go in depth on them this week. All of the Patriots were top three in ownership percentage in Thursday contests. If you can afford them, then they all deserve to be in your lineup, but keep in mind that in the previous three contests the Colts and Pats have faced off the Patriots have run the ball for 657 yards. They seem to like to rush the ball down the Colts' throats.

I also love the Jaguars if Blake Bortles and T.J. Yeldon play. Their status bears monitoring as a Bortles/Allen brothers stack, as long as Yeldon can keep defenses honest, has been exceptional the past couple weeks.

Top Stack 1

Bengals at Bills- Team Total 23.8

How times have changed in the NFL. There was never a point in my life where I thought my top stack of the week would be an Andy Dalton led team against a Rex Ryan defense, but that is exactly what we have this week for good reason. Dalton has been fabulous this season and is leading the fifth ranked passing attack in the NFL. Dalton has thrown for 1,518 yards and 11 touchdowns in five games. I love Green and Eifert as his main targets this week. Green is healthy this season and is averaging 99 receiving yards a game and six catches. Eifert has been great in the red zone and has five scores on the year. The matchup is also excellent as the Bills rank 24th in passing yards allowed per game at 274 yards and have allowed 21 points per game.

Top Stack 2

Texans at Jaguars - Team Total 22.8

I love the Texans this week, despite the 22.8 point total. Vegas is normally spot on, but I think they just have this one wrong. Jacksonville is 31st in points allowed per game with 29 and allows 363 yards a game. The Texans big two of Foster and Hopkins should get plenty of opportunity to rack up yards in this game. Both Foster and Hopkins also lead their respective positions in targets per game. Hopkins is on pace to shatter the single-season target record and is averaging 14.8, while Foster is averaging 7.5. In his three spot appearances this year, Hoyer has looked great averaging 260 yards passing and throwing for five touchdowns.

Value Stack

Jets vs Redskins - Team Total 23.3

If you are looking for value, look no further than the Jets. Both Decker and Marshall could have huge games against the Redskins corners. While the Redskins are only giving up 216 yards passing, almost all of those yards are going to wide outs. They are allowing the eighth most fantasy points to wide receivers this year. Marshall is having a great year with per game averages of 11 targets, 7.5 catches, 100 yards receiving and just under a score a game. Decker has a score every game this year and should be fully healthy after the bye week. Pairing the duo with Fitzpatrick could lead to big results this week.

Contrarian Stack

Ravens at 49ers - Team Total 23.3

An under-the-radar stack that could pay off huge is the Ravens going up against the terrible 49ers secondary. The 49ers give up points and yards in bunches. They rank 30th in passing yards allowed per game at 299 and 28th in points allowed per game with 28. Flacco has had a slow start to the season, but did bounce back last week with three total touchdowns, two of which came on the ground. It is rare for the quarterback to be the team's primary goal line option, but it might continue with the injuries the Ravens have in the backfield. Smith should be back and continue to see 10-plus targets a game. Aiken has also played great with three of his last foure games going for over 75 yards. All three players were less than five percent owned in Thursday contests.
