Last season's head man, Nathaniel Hackett, seemed ill-equipped to run a team. The hope is that he will take a step forward with his new coach. It wasn't all bad, though, as his adjusted yards per attempt was better than Justin Herbert's, Aaron Rodgers' and Dak Prescott's. It's understandable to not want to roster Russell Wilson ever again after what he showed last season. A Denver Broncos' stack doesn't seem as fun, but it should make more sense if you give it a chance. Not every stack is going to be as beautiful as a Dolphins or Bengals double-stack. Denver Broncos Russell Wilson ($7,300) and Marvin Mims ($4,700)

Both of them are projected in the top 10 for points at receiver this week. The Bengals have an implied team total of 25.5 points, and it's likely to come through these two top wideouts. When both of these receivers are on the field together, it's a different proposition. In the second game, Higgins played just one snap. Cleveland's defense was a disappointment for much of last year but still ranked 15th against the pass by numberFire's metrics.Ĭincinnati struggled to find a ceiling in these matchups last season, but in the first one, Chase was injured. The matchup is an interesting one against the Cleveland Browns. Chase has two games with over 200 yards in his young NFL career. Joe Burrow is the only quarterback in NFL history to have thrown for 500 yards in multiple games, despite playing just three seasons. The ceiling for this stack might be higher than the Dolphins' ceiling. They are just as talented and come at a lower salary cost than Miami's top pair. Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins didn't see more than 50% of the targets as Miami's duo did, but 41% of the targets is nothing to sneeze at. Similar to the Dolphins' stack, the Cincinnati Bengals offer huge upside in their passing game, mostly through two receivers. Miami had the eighth-highest pass-to-run ratio in the NFL last season, so there should be plenty of volume to go around in one of the week's best game environments. Hill has the highest projection for a wideout in numberFire's model, and Waddle has the fourth-highest projection. As only a 3.0-point underdog, Miami should feature Hill and Waddle heavily.

The Dolphins play the Los Angeles Chargers in the game with the highest total on the Week 1 main slate. Of course, that was the best-case scenario in a game they were trailing and needed to throw a lot it's not a realistic outcome to expect but demonstrates this group's high ceiling. The ideal situation would be something like Week 2 last season - when this trio combined for 111.96 FanDuel points at Baltimore. He led the league in adjusted yards per attempt - some of which can be credited to the receivers, but Tua also should get some praise for it. Tua Tagovailoa had his doubters but definitely proved that - with the new coaching staff and the weapons Miami has - he can be an effective quarterback. That's enough to pique my interest, but when you consider the ability both receivers have after the catch, it makes them arguably the two best receivers to pair together across the NFL. Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle combined for a 51% target share in 2022. The Miami Dolphins' passing game was definitely worth the salary in certain games last season. Stacking players with salaries this high is being called a premium double-stack nowadays. Miami Dolphins Tua Tagovailoa ($7,700), Tyreek Hill ($8,800), Jaylen Waddle ($7,900) Here are four of the best stacks to zero in on in NFL DFS for this week's main slate. Our Brandon Gdula did a study on stacking that is worth checking out before you make your lineups. Game stacks can work best in matchups that have high totals and close spreads. We also can look to deploy a game stack - rostering a QB, one of his pass-catchers, and a pass-catcher from the other team. This makes sense when a team is a huge favorite and expected to dominate, which can lead to carries for the back and chances for sacks and turnovers for the D/ST. In other situations, we can pair a running back and a defense on the same team. Sometimes, it makes sense to use two pass catchers with their signal-caller, especially when the target share is concentrated around two players. The classic stack is a quarterback with one of his pass-catchers. There are a few different ways to correlate lineups that can help us maximize our ceiling. Stacking in daily fantasy football on FanDuel is a key strategy and a way to shoot for upside.
