High 10 DFS Stacks for Week 8
Welcome to the Sports activities Playing Podcast Community’s High 10 DFS stacks article!! Every week of the NFL season, I will probably be breaking down the DraftKings principal slate to carry you the highest 10 DFS stacks.
“Stacks” in DFS could be outlined as; taking part in two or extra gamers from the identical crew in a single lineup. Stacking in DFS contests has grow to be the predominant roster building technique, significantly for GPP DFS tournaments, with numerous distinctive and artistic methods to construct stacks and maximize your scoring upside every week.
The preferred stacking choices embody the thin stack, the double-stack, the run-back stack, the full-on recreation stack, and the working again paired with a protection DFS stack.
The thin stack is historically a quarterback paired with a ability place participant. The double-stack consists of the quarterback and two expert place gamers. The run-back stacks often encompass a quarterback and large receiver from one crew and an opposing large receiver or working again.
A recreation stack can embody as much as 5 gamers from a single contest and a 3/2 or 4/1 crew ratio, usually involving the quarterback. The working again stacked with protection is simply that.

High 10 DFS Stacks for Week 8
Jalen Hurts (QB) Philadelphia Eagles
AJ Brown (WR) Philadelphia Eagles
With Josh Allen taking part in Sunday night time, Jalen Hurts is the highest-priced quarterback on the DraftKings principal slate this week at $8,400. It’s slightly costly, however his upside this week mixed with a poor Pittsburgh defensive unit warrants the worth hike. Hurts has scored over 24.7 factors in 4 of six video games this season.
The 2 video games he failed to attain 24 or extra factors have been in opposition to Jacksonville in a monsoon and in opposition to a Dallas Cowboys protection that solely offers up 10-point per recreation to quarterbacks. Pittsburgh ranks twenty fourth in opposition to quarterbacks, giving up 19.07 factors per recreation. Hurts ought to smash this ground this week in a 30-point potential efficiency.
In response to PFF, AJ Brown has the highest cornerback matchup this week when he faces defensive backs Levi Wallace and James Pierre of the Steelers. Wallace has been significantly horrible rating 99th in protection out of 110 cornerbacks. Brown has a 40-45lbs. weight benefit over them each.
Brown’s been constant this season, scoring double-digit factors in 5 of six video games. He hasn’t scored over 20 DraftKings factors since Week, however that modifications this week. I anticipate the Eagles to use these favorable matchups all day lengthy, making the Hurts/Brown stack my favourite pay-up skinny stack. I’m snug taking part in this stack in all GPP codecs.
Complete Value: $16,000

Tua Tagovailoa (QB) Miami Dolphins
Tyreek Hill (WR) Miami Dolphins
Amon Ra St. Brown (WR) Detroit Lions
Tua Tagovailoa returned from his concussion final week and handed for 261 yards and a landing in opposition to the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday Night time. It wasn’t his finest efficiency as a Dolphin, but it surely was encouraging given the final time we noticed him play in prime time he has wheeled off the sphere after being flung on the bottom like a ragdoll.
Shout out to all of the haters and naysayers who didn’t imagine in Tyreek Hill this 12 months. He’s not a quarterback-dependent large receiver by the best way. He creates alternatives for quarterbacks to assist them pad their stats in actuality. He’s presently the third-highest-scoring DraftKings large receiver solely 5 factors behind Stefon Diggs who’s in first place.
My prediction is by the top of Week 8 Tyreek Hill would be the top-scoring DraftKings large receiver. 30 factors are usually not out of the query on this matchup in opposition to a horrible Detroit Lions secondary that can haven’t any reply for the speedy Tyreek Hill. This is likely to be my favourite worth skinny stack of the week.
To make it fascinating and break up among the chalk, I’m going so as to add Amon-Ra St. Brown to this stack. St. Brown when wholesome has been dominant on the sphere. Within the video games the primary three video games of the season he was averaging a 30% goal share. The Lions are going to be trailing on this matchup and will probably be compelled to throw the soccer.
I anticipate St. Brown to see between 9/11 targets this week whereas taking part in from behind. The Lions are at residence, the place they love to attain factors for his or her unhappy fan base. This recreation goes to shoot. The sport’s 51-point complete is the best on the slate. Vegas is aware of finest (wink).
Complete Value: $21,600

Daniel Jones (QB) New York Giants
Saquon Barkley (RB) New York Giants
Tyler Lockett (WR) Seattle Seahawks
Final week on my DFS podcast “Chalk Blocked” with Bo McBrayer (AKA Bo_McBigTime on Twitter) I lauded Daniel Jones as an incredible GPP play. Solely to be thwarted by anti-Daniel Jones bias from my co-host, which I perceive effectively has been poisoned on Daniel Jones. He had 69 totally different offensive coordinators in 3 years. The Giants failed to choose up his Fifth-year possibility so he’s a ‘Lifeless Man Strolling’…effectively truly working after which falling down.
Jones cashed in for you if you happen to did hearken to me, scoring 31.78 DraftKings factors at solely $5,100 final week. He’s priced up this week to $5,700, however I nonetheless assume he’s an incredible worth play at his value. Historically I’d not stack a quarterback with a working again from the identical crew, however the Giants’ offense isn’t conventional in any sense.
The Giants’ offense has actually run by way of Jones or Barkley, with the pair producing 9 out of the ten high DFS DraftKings performances. The 2 have linked on 83% of their passes and the Seattle Seahawks have given up the fourth most receiving yards to working backs (357) and 1,077 complete yards and 7 touchdowns. Barkley is averaging over 25 touches a recreation and is the second-highest-scoring working again on DraftKings. He’s going to run wild this week.
I really feel like this contrarian stack stands alone, however this recreation is just too loaded to not run it again with Tyler Lockett or a minimum of Marquise Goodwin. I really like the two-touchdown breakout from Goodwin and his $4,400 is attractive, however I’m rolling with Lockett for this stack assault.
Count on Pete Carroll and Geno Smith the scheme up area for Lockett to use an above-average New York Giants secondary. The important thing to this matchup will probably be quantity and with out DK Metcalf within the lineup, I anticipate the Seahawks to lean closely on their star large receiver. This stack is a Milly Maker particular. My free present to you.
Complete Value: $20,300
Gamers to pair with: Derrick Henry (RB) AJ Brown (WR)

— Ian Hartitz (@Ihartitz) October 26, 2022
Kirk Cousins (QB) Minnesota Vikings
Justin Jefferson (WR) Minnesota Vikings
DeAndre Hopkins (WR) Arizona Cardinals
Justin Jefferson is the crown jewel of this stack. I do know Kirk Cousins’s identify comes first however let’s speak about Jefferson. He’s averaging over 11 targets in his final three video games and this week takes on an Arizona Cardinals protection that PFF ranks twenty ninth total.
Cornerbacks Marco Wilson and Byron Murphy Jr. rank 102 and sixtieth out of 110 cornerbacks. Jefferson goes to have himself a day. Inform Ian Hartitz to prepared the two-touchdown chopper! This additionally means the Kirk Cousins stack is in play this week at $15,200. It’s my cohost on the Fantasy Millionaires Mike “Money” Collins (AKA @TheRalphMacho on Twitter) Diamond stack of the week.
It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to determine that working it again with DeAndre Hopkins is it good play on this recreation. His 14 targets have been second to solely Mike Evans‘s 15 final week. With no Marquise Hollywood Brown, Hopkins is the one actual wide-receiving risk the Arizona Cardinals have presently.
I anticipate him to get shut to fifteen Targets on this recreation once more. you would possibly as effectively name them the Arizona DeAndre Hopkins this week. He makes an costly run again which suggests not lots of people will probably be on this play. (Jim Carrey’s Dumb & Dumber voice). I prefer it. I prefer it rather a lot.

Kyler Murray (QB) Arizona Cardinals
DeAndre Hopkins (WR) Arizona Cardinals
Justin Jefferson (WR) Minnesota Vikings
You didn’t assume I used to be going to have a Kirk Cousins stack and never have a Kyler Murray stack did you? Kyler Murray is costlier this week so the worth may not be there however this recreation is predicted to shoot out in line with Vegas. The 49-point complete is the second-highest complete on the slate with each offenses that includes star-wide receiving expertise that’s able to propping up a high-scoring quarterback efficiency.
Murray has one thing Cousins doesn’t although, and that’s his dashing upside. He’s presently averaging 5.8 yards per carry and has two dashing touchdowns to go together with 263 dashing yards. With 173 of these dashing yards coming within the final three video games, Murray’s mobility has been growing. I’m not assured sufficient to play him bare although.
If Hopkins is just too costly to your construct, it is best to think about Zach Ertz at $5,100 an incredible WR2 possibility masquerading as a decent finish. Shhh. I used to be solely supposed to offer you one stack, maintain this sub-stack to your self. Murray is barely projected 5% rostership, making him a leverage play this week if you’re making an attempt to keep away from the 13% Tua chalk. Operating it again with Jefferson is the most costly, however he has the best upside of any large receiver not named Tyreek Hill this week.

Derek Carr (QB) Las Vegas Raiders
Davante Adams (WR) Las Vegas Raiders
Chris Olave (WR) New Orleans Saints
Derek Carr watched like the remainder of us final week as Josh Jacobs rushed for 143 yards and three scores. All he needed to do was flip round and hand him the ball actually. If that’s what you assume you may not be extra improper. Carr regarded nice final week, passing for 241 yards, one landing, and a 116-passer ranking. He simply didn’t rating a number of fantasy factors. This week he faces a New Orleans Saints secondary that ranks twenty eighth within the NFL in opposition to large receivers, giving up 38 fantasy factors per recreation. They’ve already conceded over 1,300 complete yards and 9 touchdowns. Want I say extra?
Davante Adams has quietly been averaging 21.2 DFS factors per recreation, seventh-best within the NFL. Final 12 months Adams averaged 23 factors per recreation, which ranked second to solely Cooper Kupp. This season has extra touchdowns by way of the primary seven weeks, five-to-three, however he has 239 fewer receiving yards and receptions. His projected rostership is presently round 12%, making him a leverage play this week and an incredible pay-up stacking choice to pair with Carr.
Michael Thomas didn’t observe once more at this time and is trending in direction of being out once more for week eight. At solely $6,000 Chris Olave is a superb worth this week regardless of who the New Orleans Saints’ beginning quarterback is. Fingers crossed it’s slinging Jameis Winston. Olave has been averaging 10.6 targets in his final 5 video games and has video games with 13,13, and 14 targets. With Thomas uncertain and the Saints residence underdogs, anticipate Olave to see double-digit targets once more this week. Operating him again on this again stack is one among my favourite performs for smaller GPP contests.

Rhamondre Stevenson (RB) New England Patriots
Garrett Wilson (WR) New York Jets
Rhamondre Stevenson, extra like Rha“Grown-Ass Man”dre Stevenson if you happen to ask me, and you probably did since you might be studying this, you scoundrel. Stevenson has the New England Patriots beginning working again job and nobody has extra moist desires about establishing the run than Invoice Belichick. The Patriots presently rush the soccer seventh most at a 48% fee. He out-snapped Damien Harris 40 to 9 in Week 7 and noticed 19 alternatives to Harris’s 5, together with eight targets. Stevenson is barely $6,400 and he’s presently projected 19% rostership this week. The key is out.
The New York Jets have thrown the soccer 61% of their snaps by way of seven weeks of the season. Final week they solely handed the ball 44% of the time. Breece Corridor went down final week with a season-ending ACL damage and the Jets promptly traded for Jaguars working again James Robinson to certain up their dashing assault. Regardless of their finest makes an attempt to hurry the ball this week, they’re going to need to cross the soccer a minimum of 25 occasions. Garrett Wilson is ridiculously

Cooper Kupp (WR) Los Angeles Rams
George Kittle (TE) San Francisco 49ers
Each Matthew Stafford and Jimmy Garoppolo haven’t performed effectively sufficient to warrant them being included on this recreation stack. I’m leaving them each off as a result of I don’t assume that both one does something aside from assist one pass-catcher this week. Cooper Kupp is the apparent alternative from the Rams’ aspect of the ball. He’s presently averaging 27-points per recreation and leads all NFL large receivers averaging 12 targets per recreation. His 31% goal share is high three within the NFL for large receivers and greater than all the opposite large receivers on the crew if you add up their goal share proportion. This play makes itself.
Deebo Samuel is presently uncertain for Sunday’s tilt with the Rams. George Kittle has been scorching for the final two weeks. Turning 18 targets into 14 receptions for 181 yards and a landing. He’s avered 19 factors in these two video games. Christian McCaffery will absorb just a few of Deebo’s targets, however I anticipate Kittle to be the first beneficiary in Samuel’s absence. Kittle’s $5,700 DFS price is the most costly tight finish on the slate this week by $600 over Zach Ertz. At present, Kittle is projected to choose up 5% rostership which makes him a leverage play in GPP tournaments. I will probably be above the sphere on him this week.

Geno Smith (QB) Seattle Seahawks
Marquise Goodwin (WR) Seattle Seahawks
Saquon Barkley (RB) New York Giants
The Giants’ protection has been good this 12 months. However they haven’t confronted….checks notes….Geno… double-checks notes…Geno Smith is tied with Justin Herbert for seventh in quarterback factors per recreation with 19.1. I do know, I’m simply as shocked as you might be to search out this out.
Emboldened by my newfound confidence in my information I blindly ignore DK Metcalf’s absence from the lineup and naturally stack Smith with…checks notes…Marquise…double-checks notes…Marquise Goodwin. Wow. Speak about staying frosty in DFS. At solely $4,400 this week, and the no DK, like I discussed earlier than, this might be the right low-priced storm for scoring low-cost factors this week.
I’ve already sung Barkley’s praises on this article as soon as, however the boss needs content material and that’s what I produce! Barkley has scored 18 or extra factors in six of seven video games and has scored double-digit factors in all seven video games this 12 months. His 23 crimson zone alternatives are third most within the NFL behind Joe Mixon and Nick Chubb, each of whom are usually not on this slate. Barkley is a smash play this week and I will probably be head-over-heels above his 20% rostership in my GPP builds.
Complete Value: $18,300

Wrote on Geno Smith’s “Insane Untapped Potential” 5 yrs in the past & his an identical profession begin to Drew Brees. I used to be ridiculed.

Derrick Henry (RB) Tennessee Titans
Dameon Pierce (RB) Houston Texans
Most folk in Houston Texas are beneath the impression that the McNair Household owns the Houston Texans. However if you happen to verify the nice print it truly is Derrick Henry. In his final three video games in opposition to the Texans, he has rushed for 671 yards, 223 per recreation, with eight dashing touchdowns. He scored 43, 42, and 39-points in these matchups. I’m certain that the Texans have improved their rush protection this 12 months although.
Let me verify the stats. Apparently, they rank thirty second out of 32 groups in opposition to working backs to this point in 2022. They’re giving up near 32 factors per recreation. This consists of 10,44 complete yards and 9 touchdowns to working backs. Play the chalk.
Dameon Pierce has scored double-digit DFS factors in 4 straight video games and is averaging 20.75-points throughout that four-game stretch. He’s been averaging 20 carries and 23.5 complete touches per recreation. Search for the Texan to make the most of Pierce within the passing recreation extra this week in opposition to the Tennessee Titans.
They offer up an 80% catch fee to working backs. Pierce is averaging 5 targets per recreation during the last three weeks. I anticipate Pierce to be a goal-line risk as effectively this week. The ground is eighteen factors and the ceiling is 28 factors. Stacking these backs breaks up Pierce’s 18% and Henry’s 14% chalk. You might be welcome.
