Stacking to Win It: NFL Week 7

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.

I have a feeling this is going to be high scoring week in the DFS world. There are a bunch of great match ups that you can try to take advantage of. I love the Chargers stack of Rivers/Allen/Gates this week, but there are a lot of question marks with the pass catchers. Both Allen and Gates missed practice for the second straight day and their injury status bears watching.

Top Stack 1

Cardinals vs Ravens- Team Total 28.0

The Cardinals, in a Monday night showdown against the Ravens, is my top stack of the week. Everything is in place for the Cardinals passing attack to have a huge game. The Cardinals have the third highest team total on the board at 28 and have just been unstoppable most weeks. They rank second in points per game with 33.8 and seventh in passing yards with 284.2. Both John Brown and Larry Fitzgerald have had huge been huge this season. Fitz is averaging over 7 catches a game and is turning those catches into 97.16 yards a game and a score. Brown is coming off a huge 10 catch, 196 yard game and has 3 straight games over 70 yards. The matchup is excellent as well. The Ravens give up the most fantasy points to quarterbacks and second most to wide receivers. The Cardinals will be a chalky stack but well worth it this week.

Top Stack 2

Colts vs Saints - Team Total 28.5

If you're going to fade the Cardinals in GPPs to try to gain separation from the pack the Colts are the place to look. The Colt's have the second highest point total on the board in a great matchup against a shaky Saints secondary. The Saints have been dismal on defense this season. They are allowing 27.3 points a game and a league worst 409.7 yards per game. They have given up the second most fantasy points per game to quarterbacks and seem to be no match for Luck. Luck looked good in his return from injury and has numerous weapons at his disposal. Picking which weapons to choose from are the key as he does like to spread the ball out. Frank Gore and Dwayne Allen are worth consideration, however I like Hilton and Moncrief the best in this stack.

Value Stack

Steelers at Chiefs - Team Total 24.3

I never thought the Steelers passing attack would be a value stack, but that is exactly what they are this week. Antonio Brown has really struggled since Ben Roethlisberger went down and his price has dropped because of it. With Landry Jones getting his first start for the injured Big Ben and Michael Vick, things should really open up for the Steelers passing attack. Jones looked great in his first action of his career and that was against a much tougher defense then he will face this week. The Chiefs give up 278 yards a game through the air and really struggle against wide outs. They have allowed the most fantasy points to them this season. Brown and Martavis Bryant are two of the best in the league. They should give the Chiefs fits all game and really help out Jones. Don't forget about Le'Veon Bell as well. Bell is expensive and doesn't have the best matchup compared to other backs this week but still is the best in the business and catches the ball out of the back field.

Contrarian Stack

Saints at Colts - Team Total 24.0

Playing the Colts in a game that has shootout written all over it; the Saints are flying under the radar. The Drew Brees led offense is third in the NFL in passing yards per game with 302. The Colts have been awful against the pass this year despite having one of the best corners in Vontae Davis on their team. The Colts rank 28th in passing yards allowed per game with 289. They are one of four teams allowing 400 plus total yards a game as well. While Davis has me a little worried about Brandin Cooks if he is going to be shadowing him the whole game, the rest of the Saints offense is very much in play.
