The Top DFS Stacks on FanDuel and DraftKings in Week 7

Oct 18, 2017

Here I’ll be diving into stacks that mainly involve the week’s highest over/unders. For starters, I’ll lead with my favorite game stack from the highest implied over/under game, followed by analyzing the next three games with the highest totals on the slate, and then a low-owned stack.

Top Stacks From Games With High Vegas Totals

Patriots (29.25) vs. Falcons (25.75) — Over/Under 55

Tom Brady ($9,200) + Rob Gronkowski ($8,500) + Devonta Freeman ($7,800)

Brady is in a supreme spot with the slate’s highest implied team total, 29.25 points. The Patriots have been cruising this season, scoring at the second-highest rate among offenses, while the Falcons are allowing opponents to score at the fourth-highest rate. I prefer Gronk to pair with Brady, as he is averaging eight targets per game while the Falcons are allowing 8.80 targets per game to tight ends. Gronk boasts the most touchdown upside among Patriot pass-catchers with a team-high 29.5 percent red zone target share.

The Patriots struggle against the pass and the run, along with passes out of the backfield. This season they’re allowing 9.3 targets and 77.0 receiving yards per game to opposing backfields. While Tevin Coleman is out-targeting Freeman 20-to-13 this season, I still prefer Freeman since he is most involved in the red zone. Freeman owns 65 percent of Atlanta's red zone carries and is out-touching Freeman 8-to-1 from inside the 5-yard line. After the Falcons' struggles last week, people are likely not headed to Freeman, especially as a road underdog.
