Are you ready for the Week 6 NFL DFS slate? Correlating your DFS lineup and stacking a team and/or game is often key to success in DFS. But who are the best Week 6 DFS stacks?
If you haven’t played DFS before, a stack is taking a team’s quarterback and wide receiver (or running back/tight end) in the same lineup. It’s a great way to capitalize on good performances and rack up points quickly. For Week 6, let’s look at some of the best stacks in every game on Sunday.

Week 6 DFS: One DFS Stack For Each Week 6 NFL Game
Washington Commanders vs. Atlanta Falcons
Sam Howell $5500
Logan Thomas $3500
As much as I would love to make wide receivers Terry McLaurin and/or Jahan Dotson the main stacking partners with Sam Howell, the truth is TE Logan Thomas has a similar target share for a much cheaper price. Washington has thrown the ball at a high rate this season, but the target tree is very spread out among running backs, receivers, and tight ends. Thomas received 11 targets last week and seems to be a trusted target for Howell.
Minnesota Vikings vs. Chicago Bears
Kirk Cousins $7100
Jordan Addison $5700
A lot of people will stack up QB Justin Fields and WR DJ Moore after their monster Thursday night win against Washington. I would rather pay less total with Kirk Cousins and Jordan Addison at potentially less ownership. With Justin Jefferson out for at least the next four games, the target tree in Minnesota is even more condensed in this pass-happy offense against one of the worst secondaries in the NFL. Both WR Addison and TE TJ Hockenson should benefit the most in target with Jefferson out.
Seattle Seahawks vs. Cincinnati Bengals
Joe Burrow $6300
Ja’Marr Chase $8300
We saw the massive bounce-back performance by Joe Burrow, Ja’Marr Chase, and the Bengals last week. Burrow finally looks healthy, and his price is still reasonable. Chase has 43 targets in the last three games and is the true alpha for the Bengals. The Seahawks’ secondary is not one that you fear to slow Burrow and Chase down, either.
San Francisco 49ers vs. Cleveland Browns
Brock Purdy $5600
Christian McCaffery $9500
The Browns will be without QB Deshaun Watson again. So the stack is definitely from the 49ers’ side, and Brock Purdy is playing top-notch with an arsenal of weapons. You could pick any of Brandon Aiyuk, Deebo Samuel, or George Kittle to stack him with. It’s hard to say which one will have the big game. I’d rather soak up all the touchdown equity for the 49ers that could score 5+ touchdowns in this likely blowout script.
New Orleans Saints vs. Houston Texans
CJ Stroud $6000
Nico Collins $5600
Stroud continues to impress in his rookie campaign, throwing for 240 passing yards or more in his first five starts. Tank Dell could be out this week with a concussion, so the targets should narrow, and Nico Collins should be the main target for Stroud. The Texans are slight underdogs. Look for Stroud to keep throwing on Sunday.
Indianapolis Colts vs. Jacksonville Jaguars
Trevor Lawrence $6500
Calvin Ridley $6700
Calvin Ridley had a massive week one against these same Colts. The three games after were rough for Ridley, and then he had a huge week 5 with seven catches for 122 yards. We want to attack the Colts secondary with alpha wide receivers like Ridley, so I love this spot for this stack. It’s only a matter of time for touchdown variance to break Lawrence’s way for passing touchdowns, too.
Carolina Panthers vs. Miami Dolphins
Tua Tagovailoa $7600
Tyreek Hill $9300
It’s an expensive stack, but let’s not overthink this. The Dolphins offense through five weeks is outpacing the offensive output of the Greatest Show on Turf. They are double-digit favorites and have shown they’ll rack up the score on opponents. So it’s always worth considering one of the top fantasy stacks, even at a high price.
New England Patriots vs. Las Vegas Raiders
Jimmy Garappolo $5300
Davante Adams $8300
We usually have one or two games on the slate that we don’t have much interest in, and this is one of them. Davante Adams only had four targets last week, but I like him to bounce back this week at likely low ownership.
Detroit Lions vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Jared Goff $6400
Amon-Ra St. Brown $7700
I think this game could be a sneaky shootout. The Lions offense has been clicking on all cylinders, and now Amon-Ra St. Brown is back this week as Jared Goff’s top target. St. Brown has between 7-12 targets in all the games he’s played, so look for him to be heavily targeted Sunday as the Lions’ offense looks to keep rolling.
Arizona Cardinals vs. LA Rams
Matthew Stafford $6100
Cooper Kupp $9000
This may be my favorite stack of the week. First, the Cardinals’ secondary is very exploitable. And now that Matthew Stafford has Cooper Kupp back, it’s wheels up for this Rams offense. It looked like Kupp hadn’t missed a beat last week, getting 12 targets in his first game back for eight catches and 118 yards. I want to continue to be early on this stack before the price goes up even more.
Philadelphia Eagles vs. New York Jets
Jalen Hurts $8200
Dallas Goedert $4800
This may be a difficult matchup for Jalen Hurts and the Eagles offense, but we know this high-powered offense is more than capable of still putting up points and fantasy points. I will, however, stack the cheaper piece of this offense that the Eagles finally unleashed last week in TE Dallas Goedert. I’m not sure which Eagles’ receiver will draw CB Sauce Gardner coverage, so I’d rather pay down for Goedert in this stack.
