NFL Week 7 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 7 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 7 for NFL DFS lineups on DraftKings + FanDuel.

NFL DFS Top Stacks for Week 7 on DraftKings + FanDuel
Top Stack: Green Bay Packers
The top stack for the second-consecutive week, the Green Bay Packers enter a bounce back spot against the Houston Texans. The Packers currently sit as three-point favorites in a game totaled at 57 total points. With Houston’s defense allowing the 11th-most yards per pass attempt, Green Bay enters the conversation for top Week 7 stack on DraftKings and FanDuel.
Looking first at Aaron Rodgers, the veteran signal caller has played efficient football to start 2020. Aside from his melt down against Tampa Bay, Rodgers has averaged just over 300 passing yards per game. Now entering a far superior matchup, Rodgers looks capable of a bounce back here.
Looking to his pass catchers, Davante Adams, Marquez Valdes-Scantling, and Robert Tonyan all enter Week 7 at different price points. Adams makes sense with an immense target share when healthy. Valdes-Scantling also ranks top ten in unrealized air yards, giving him a path to a GPP-winning score in the right game environment. With ownership also coalescing in other spots, the Green Bay stack provides leverage and a path to a top score on both DFS platforms.

Top Stack: Seattle Seahawks
Another team routinely near the top of the Awesemo Top Stacks tool, the Seattle Seahawks find themselves favored by 3.5-points over the Arizona Cardinals this week. With both teams excelling offensively, the total currently sits at 54.5-points. Now that Seattle has opened their aerial attack, Russell Wilson stacks continue to rack up GPP winning scores.
Looking first at Wilson, the MVP frontrunner ranks first in yards per pass attempt (8.9) and second in completion percentage (72.8%). While Seattle continues to rank 28th in plays per game, they’ve actually passed the ball 60.9% of the time (11th). Also offering a little bit with his legs, Wilson provides multiple avenues to fantasy success.
As for his stacking options, DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett each enter the week with target shares north of 23%. Metcalf, in particular, enters this week fresh off an 11-target outing. Metcalf has also seen 45% of Seattle’s air yards, compared to 24% for Lockett. Still, both can pop off for big weeks at any given time. With elite weapons and a strong over/under, the Seattle Seahawks remain a top stack in Week 7 DFS.

Value NFL DFS Stack: Los Angeles Chargers
For those looking at bargain stacks, the Los Angeles Chargers provide a potential pivot from the more expensive stacks. The Chargers enter a bout against the Jacksonville Jaguars favored by 7.5-points in a game totaled at 45-points overall. Rookie revelation Justin Herbert continues to spark this offense, providing stack-worthy upside on DraftKings and FanDuel ahead of Week 7.
So far this season, Herbert averages 8.5 yards per pass attempt (third), while completing 68.8% of his passes (ninth). Improving matters further, the Chargers rank fourth in plays per game and 11th in seconds per play. The Jaguars allow the most yards per pass attempt in the NFL (8.5), while also running the 12th-most plays themselves.
As for stacking options, Keenan Allen ranks third in overall target share, despite missing a majority of Los Angeles’ most recent game. Similarly, Mike Williams spent a number of games injured. However, when healthy, Williams racked up nine target in the Chargers debut and eight targets in their most recent game. Hunter Henry also provides a reliable tight end target with at least seven targets in three of his last four games. Between modest pricing and an elite matchup, Los Angeles Chargers stacks provide a cheap avenue to Week 7’s potential top stack on DraftKings and FanDuel.
