2 DFS Stacks to Target in DraftKings or FanDuel Week 8
By Vik Chokshi
Week 8 of the NFL season is here, which means it is DFS time! If you play DFS, whether it is cash games or GPPs, you need to start stacking your lineups since it is an important aspect of a winning strategy. I became a huge fan of the concept years ago and have won a lot of money because of it. Here are a few other factors I look for before finalizing my lineups:
- Look for high totals (and team totals) when analyzing game spreads.
- Find favorable game scripts and exploit matchups in those particular games.
This week should be a fun one as half of the games have over/ unders of 50 points or higher. The highest total on the board is the matchup between the Rams and Packers, which features an O/U of 57 points. I’ve done the research for you, so it is time to jump on board with these two stacks:
Green Bay Packers at Los Angeles Rams (-9), Over/ Under 57
This is the highest total of the week, and the Rams come into this game with the highest implied total of the weekend at 33 points. The Rams aerial attack has been quiet the last few weeks, but that has been due to blowouts, game scripts, and Todd Gurley’s domination. This is a great spot for them to do some damage, as this game has shootout written all over it. The Packers also have a better run defense (11th in yards) than pass defense. Sean McVay is the master of finding matchups to exploit, so look for the Rams to pass early and often. Goff’s $6,000 price tag in DraftKings seems like a bargain to me. I love stacking Goff with Woods simply because he has been their most consistent WR all season long. He leads the team in targets (58 targets), receptions (41), and receiving yards (602). He is also the No. 8 WR in scoring on FanDuel and No. 9 on DraftKings. With Cooper Kupp still out, Woods should get more balls thrown his way, and eat vs. rookie CB in Josh Jackson.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Cincinnati Bengals (-4.5), 54 Over/ Under
