NFL Week 3 has finally arrived and it’s time to talk strategy. Stacking a quarterback with one of more of his pass catchers provides a solid way to add upside to a DFS lineup. With Week 3 offering a full slate of games, here are a few stacks worth considering on the DFS main slate. Let’s take a look at some top stacks from Week 3 for NFL DFS lineups on DraftKings + FanDuel.
NFL DFS Top Stacks for Week 3 on DraftKings + FanDuel
Dallas Cowboys
For the second-consecutive week, the Dallas Cowboys appears in Awesemo’s top stacking tool. Taking on the Seattle Seahawks, the Cowboys enter Week 3 as 5-point underdogs in a game with a 56.5-point total. As far as top stacks go, this game provides immense value for DFS.
Looking at the Cowboys, they continue to run an efficient offense through Dak Prescott. So far this year, Prescott has completed 68.6% of his passes for 8.3 yards per attempt (eighth). With Dallas running the third-most plays in football (75 per game), the Cowboys continue to rack up points.
As for stacking options, Amari Cooper, Michael Gallup, and CeeDee Lamb enter the picture at a variety of price points. Cooper remains the target leader, absorbing a a 27.7% target share with 233 air yards (ninth). Meanwhile, Lamb continues to push Gallup for the WR2 role. Currently, Lamb out-targets Gallup 15-10 on the year. With a diverse set of options, this Cowboys team remains a top Week 3 stack on DraftKings and FanDuel.
Arizona Cardinals
Projected to carry far more ownership than the Cowboys, the Arizona Cardinals still remain near the top of Awesemo’s top stacks tool . Arizona enters Week 3 as as 5.5-point favorite over the Detroit Lions in a game projected to score 55.5-points. With Kyler Murray continuing to grow in his second season, stacking this game still provides plenty of value.
Through two games, Murray has completed 66.7-percent of his passes for 6.6 yards per attempt (25th). While these marks leave a little to be desired, the Cardinals run the second-most plays in the NFL (75.5 per game). With the extra play volume Murray continues to put up points with his arm and legs.
Importantly, Murray draws one of Week 3’s top matchups against a struggling Detroit defense. Already putting Justin Coleman on injured reserve, Desmond Trufant also missed Week 2 with an injury. Between DeAndre Hopkins, Larry Fitzgerald, and even Andy Isabella (Christian Kirk’s likely replacement), Murray possesses stacking options at a variety of price points. With a cupcake matchup on deck, the Cardinals remain a Week 3 top stack.
Buffalo Bills
Coming in significantly under-owned, the Buffalo Bills present a top five stacking option on the Week 3 DraftKings and FanDuel DFS slate. Set to face the Los Angeles Rams as 1.5-point favorites, this game provides shootout upside despite a 46.5-point game total.
One of 2020’s biggest surprises to date, Josh Allen continues to impress as a passer. Through two weeks, Allen has completed 70.4% of his passes for 9.0 yards per attempt (fifth). Buffalo also plays extremely fast, boosting Allen’s projection. The Bills continue to fire off 70 plays per game, while throwing the ball 60.7-percent of the time.
As for stacking options, Stefon Diggs remains in play despite a potential Jalen Ramsey shadow matchup. Diggs holds a 27.5-percent target share, along with the 11th-most air yards in the NFL (241). Playing as a complementary pass catcher, John Brown’s 20-percent target share also remains viable at a price discount across DFS platforms. With the Rams also running 69.5 plays per game, this matchup offers sneaky shootout potential. Coming in with a fraction of the ownership, this Bills team offers top stack potential in Week 3.
