Week 15 is here, and that means we’ve got just three weeks left to soak it all in. Part of success in NFL DFS is knowing how likely a stack is going to be the highest-scoring one on the slate and how much ownership that stack is going to get. Then you know if it’s a good play or not. Fortunately, our own Alex ‘Awesemo’ Baker has created a Top Stacks Tool to help you with just that. He releases it every Sunday morning before lock for all your DraftKings, FanDuel, Yahoo and FantasyDraft needs, and you can gain access to it by signing up HERE.

As always, we have the On the Contrary with guest Sal Vetri joining Awesemo and Chris Spags to break down the top NFL DFS picks for Week 15.
Week 15 NFL DFS Top Stack: Tennessee Titans at Houston Texans | Implied total: 27 points
Lots of options at the top here, but this is my favorite from both a value and upside perspective. Patrick Maho – errr Ryan Tannehill has produced between 20 and 32 fantasy points in six of seven games since taking over as the Titans starter and the rest of this offence has come along for the ride. AJ Brown is the obvious single stack option, but adding in an underachieving Corey Davis works as well. Adam Humphries is out, which should mean more targets for Davis, who already gets a 75-85% snap count every week and has the second most routes run on the team over the past seven weeks, Davis is a buy-low, low-owned option that will help differentiate your stacks. Jonnu Smith is a TD dependant flier if you’d rather go that route, though he doesn’t project out well for Awesemo.
Stack projection total: 42-45 points, depending on the site.
Combined total value rating: 2.6
Week 15 NFL DFS Value Stack: Jacksonville Jaguars at Oakland Raiders | 20.5 Implied Total
It may not be good, but it certainly is cheap. With the news that DJ Chark will miss this matchup against the Jags, slot WR Dede Westbrook and near bare min priced Chris Conley and Keelan Cole jump to the top of Awesemo’s value ratings at WR. In fact, all three rank inside the top-eight. G-Money Minshew is back at the helm and with the Raiders favored by a TD, he’ll likely have to throw a bunch in this one. Bring it back with chalky Darren Waller or sure to be low-owned Josh Jacobs who’s going to play with a fractured shoulder. Westbrook has the best mathup of the bunch, up against slot CB Lamarcus Joyner, who’s allowing a 107 passer rating to opposing QBs this year when targeted. Both of these defences rank in the bottom three this season, so these offences could easily win the day.

Week 15 NFL DFS Contrarian Stack | Atlanta Falcons at San Francisco 49ers | Implied total: 18.5
Not great, Bob. But here’s why I like it: injuries. The 49ers defence is decimated right now. Starting corners Richard Sherman and K’Waun Williams have been ruled out, as has starting safety Jaquiski Tartt and DE Dee Ford. Holes all over the place. We have Matt Ryan projected for under 2% ownership and a concentrated stack option with Calvin Ridley out for the year. Because of their shoddy defence, Ryan has thrown the ball more than anyone in the NFL this season. Sneaky shootout potential.
Bring back options: Good luck with this one. I’m not even sure it’s necessary given how much this 49ers offence spreads the ball around. You’ve got three RBs that could go off at any time and three receivers who seem to take turns alternating massive games. You might be better off game stacking this one up with two 49ers bring backs, given how hot their offence has been of late.
