The stacking strategy in DFS involves pairing multiple skill position players from the same team. In some occasions, there is value in loading up with an “onslaught” — as it’s termed in the DFS community — with sometimes up to four players from the same team.
Just like any strategy option in DFS, there are multiple ways to grab value from stacking. You can pay up for your stack and find two of the highest-scoring players in all of DFS that week. Sometimes, you can even find two of the highest scorers without paying up and instead finding value in the middle range. And of course, you can win using my favorite strategy — bargain stacks that allow you to find game-winners in the rest of your lineup.
Every week we’ll break down all of my favorite stacks overall and make the case for why you should be using them in your DFS tournament and cash games. Let’s jump right in.
(These tacks are not specific to FanDuel or DraftKings unless indicated in the writeup.)
Eli Manning, QB, Sterling Shepard, WR, and Evan Engram, TE, New York Giants
The Giants haven’t been a beacon of DFS offensive success, but it’s unwise to overlook their easiest matchup of the season. With ownership set to be low across the board here (with the exception of Engram), there’s upside for you to cash in on a low-priced stack, with high-end scoring upside and moderately low ownership. The 49ers have allowed the fourth-most fantasy points to opposing QBs, the 12th-most to receivers, and they rank dead last in our pass coverage overall. Shepard has arguably the easiest matchup of the week against K’Waun Williams and Engram has scored in three straights games.
