Top NFL DraftKings DFS Stacks for Monday Night Slate

Everyone knows that stacks are the way to go to try to win a GPP on DraftKings. If you are like me, you love the idea of a shorter NFL DraftKings slate (in this case, just two games). There are still some ways to differentiate yourself from “the pack”, and we will explore some interesting lineups for the final games of Week 1.

NFL DraftKings Stack 1: Battering Rams

QB: Jared Goff ($7000)

RB: Todd Gurley II ($9600)

RB: Marshawn Lynch ($5300)

WR: Cooper Kupp ($5400)

WR: Terrelle Pryor ($5300)

WR: Robert Woods ($6400)

TE: Jared Cook ($3800)

FLEX: Legarette Blount ($4700)

D: Lions ($3500)

A great stack for a team that really can bring the yardage to its opponent and arguably the best bet for this slate (I could see an argument for the Lions as well). Gurley is just an incredible back, no two ways about it. Marshawn Lynch does have a chance of putting up a good game against the Rams, who can force turnovers but are not great against the run. Cooper Kupp has a good chance to be great in this matchup against a sub par Raiders secondary, and I will distinguish myself by playing him and Woods at the same time. I like Terrelle Pryor if Jermaine Kearse is out because he will probably replace him before Enunwa does. Every lineup that I am playing will have Jared Cook because I trust him a lot more than the other options at TE. Legarette Blount is cheap and could produce. Lions are interchangeable with the Rams here, but I feel they may be a bit safer.

NFL DraftKings Stack 2: The Lions Roar!

QB: Matthew Stafford

RB: Isaiah Crowell

RB: Marshawn Lynch

WR: Marvin Jones Jr.

WR: Golden Tate

WR: Amari Cooper

TE: Jared Cook

D: Lions

Having both Jones and Tate makes sense to me, as Stafford is part of what seemed to be a heavily aerial attack last year. Isaiah Crowell makes a decent amount of sense to me as well just due to low ownership. If you are a big believer in the Raiders here, you do get Amari Cooper and Jared Cook, who will likely do all the damage for Oakland. Salary will force you to play the Lions with this lineup. Can you stomach not playing Gurley?

NFL DraftKings Stack 3: Back in Black!

QB: Derek Carr

RB: Marshawn Lynch

RB: Todd Gurley

WR: Amari Cooper

WR: Jordy Nelson

WR: Terrelle Pryor

TE: Jared Cook

FLEX: Isaiah Crowell

D: Lions

This is a pretty nice stack that covers almost all of the Raiders offensive options. Additionally, you get to play Gurley, and you even have enough money left in the bank to play the Rams defense if you want.
