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 at least 10 of my favorite stacks overall and make the case for why you should be using them in your DFS tournament and cash games.

Matt Ryan, QB, and Julio Jones, WR, Atlanta Falcons
You’ll need to get some exposure to the Sunday night game, as it’s set to be another high-scoring affair. When these two teams met in January, they totaled 860 yards and 65 points. Matt Ryan torched the Dom Capers secondary for 392 yards and four touchdowns. The Packers have only gotten worse in the secondary after losing Micah Hyde this offseason, but they weren’t tested in Week 1 because their pass rush got home. In Week 2, the Falcons will protect, the Packers will be exposed, and Jones will be the main beneficiary. Jones had 813 yards in eight home games in 2016.
