NFL Top Onslaught Stacks for Fanduel and Draftkings Week 4

Welcome back to the NFL TOP ONSLAUGHT STACKS article here at DFS Army. Each week I will dive into a few teams that I think will be some of the best stacks of the week. My goal here will be to narrow down the list of teams I feel we can use and gain an edge with vs the field in Large Field Tournaments, but lesser versions of these stacks can easily be used in single entry tourneys, small league play, and even hybrid lineups in head-to-head competition. My hope is that we can have the same success here with the NFL TOP STACKS article that we had all season in MLB with the MLB TOP STACKS article.

If you have any questions hit me up in the DFS Army VIP chat shoot me a DM @CeeGee and we can chat one-on-one about your process. If you prefer, I’m also easy to find on Twitter.

I appreciate you taking time out of your day to check out the article 🤟❤💯

What Is an “Onslaught Stack?”

If you have read our tournament strategy pieces this year, NFL Shark Autopsy Report and NFL Showdown Breakdown, you are already aware that we have reverse-engineered the Milly Maker and many of the single-game Showdowns going back several years in search of winning trends. If you haven’t read these two articles, I highly suggest you check them out.

A few interesting tidbits stood out.

Game Stacking Mattered – any combination of a QB with his same team, then coupled with a skill player on the opposing team
Casual Players Don’t Stack Enough – Most of us know about stacking a QB/WR combo, but people still aren’t doing it frequently enough across all entries of tournament play. We still have a leveraged edge by using even a small stack of some sort.
Secondary Stacks Yield Even Better Finishes – The common combo of QB/WR + Opposing WR can be coupled with a completely different game stack, or secondary stack, using perhaps the second game’s RB on the favored team + WR on the underdog. Secondary stacks serve to differentiate your lineup further while still focusing on correlation and leveraging fantasy production.

When it comes to stacking your lineups, we also found a lot of room to exploit the competition by going way overboard. We don’t need to simply use a QB/WR combo + an opposing WR. We can ramp it up more! QB/WR/TE + opposing WR/WR is an example of a 3+2 “onslaught stack.” We can run 4+2, or 2+2, or even 3+1… literally anything that has more than 3 total players from a game can be called an “onslaught stack.” And, these onslaughts are proving to capitalize on extreme leverage. The casual and even intermediate player just doesn’t go that overboard in games that will possibly shoot out on both sides. THIS IS OUR EDGE!!! When people back off, we step on the gas!

Caveat – Now, onslaughts still don’t pan out with great frequency. You are simply taking advantage of the times they do pan out. You have the uniqueness and access to the points that drive you well into the top 0.1% of the payouts (where the money starts to happen). The goal is not to finish with a 2x or 3x multiplier to our money. The goal is to finish with 20x or 100x or more. Onslaughts definitely do that for you. But, they still shouldn’t be 50% of what you do in your MME or multi-entering structures. Keep it toned down some. But, plan to use them at least some when opportunity arises.

🇺🇸 Operation Onslaught NFL Top Stacks Week 4 🇺🇸

(click pics for larger view)

In the chart above I have eliminated all players with a Protected Market Share of Team Targets under 10%. As a rule of thumb, these will be the only receivers included in my Stack Groups in the NFL Domination Station (more on that at a later date).

I’m still working on a “ranking” system for the TOP ONSLAUGHT STACKS chart, but, for now, we’ll just sort it by Projection. Eventually, I’ll develop a ranking of some kind that factors in overall Ownership% and Salary of the stack as well as Projection.

Now that we have a solid Macro view of the slate, let’s dive into a couple of teams and discuss our onslaught players.

Chiefs @ Lions – 54 total

No surprise here, the Chiefs are apart of the game with the highest total on the slate and the Chiefs are projected to score over 30 points again. Since this is a road matchup, I think the Lions “may” be able to score some points and keep this game somewhat competitive. I still expect the Chiefs to pull away eventually and win by multiple touchdowns, but, I think there is plenty we can take advantage of here this week for stack purposes. With a 54.5 game total, this game is easily the highest projected of the slate, nearly 6 points more than any other game currently.

If we’re going to stack up the Chiefs side of the ball, we’re going to have to pay a pretty penny as Mahomes, Watkins, and Kelce are all priced correctly. If you want to take a slightly cheaper approach you can forget about Kelce, Watkins and go for Robinson + Hardman. These 4 players account for nearly all of the targets on the Chiefs, except for a few dump-offs to the backs so these 4 should be your primary stack targets with Mahomes.

The Lions side of the ball is not as attractive, but, if we assume they’ll be in catch up mode most of the game they should be in a good position to pay off this week. Kenny Golladay and Marvin Jones account for 44% of the target market share for the Lions receiving corps. If you add the nearly free Danny Amendola to the stack you get 62% of the projected targets for the Lions. I’m not sure which way I want to go here yet, but I’m thinking I will want more Lions, playing catch up than Chiefs playing from ahead

Review and Stack Options

Mahomes + Kelce + Watkins – bring back – Golladay + Jones – (expensive stack)

Mahomes + Kelce + (Robinson or Hardman) — bring back — Golladay + Amendola (cheaper than Jones similar target%)

Mahomes + Robinson + Hardman — bring back — Golladay + Jones or Amendola – (contrarian, most won’t play both Robinson AND Hardman)

Stafford + Golladay + Jones + Amendola — bring back — Kelce + Watkins or Robinson or Hardman – (maybe my favorite, because I think the Lions will be passing all game)

ONE MILLION DOLLARS!!!

Last week, NFL Week 3 2019, we had our 1st ever DFS Army $1,000,000 winner!!! Long-time DFS Army member Bobbywow1 akd BClinks took down the Fanduel Million. He credited Kevin’s Coaches Notes along with Cash Keg’s notes and the NFL Domination Station lineup optimizer in the one-on-one interview below. Make sure you check it out and see exactly how he landed on his Giants + Bucs ONSLAUGHT STACK!!!

Redskins @ Giants – 49 total

Daniel Jones aka Danny Dimes exploded onto the national scene last week with a comeback win last week against the Bucs. This week the Giants make their home debut and the Meadowlands will be rocking for this one. If we’re going to stack up Jones, the most obvious options are TE Evan Engram and WR Sterling Shepard. Together these two account for nearly 1/2 of the team’s targets and they will be heavily involved again this week with Saquon Barkley out. The “bring back” of this stack on the Redskins side is a little less locked in, as the Skins spread the ball around to 5 different players. Terry McLaurin, Chris Thompson, Trey Quinn, Paul Richardson and old man Vernon Davis are all bring back options here. I like McLaurin and Richardson myself, but, I wouldn’t hate any combination of these 5 honestly. Most won’t stack the other side of this game, with Keenum, so that will be a contrarian approach this week if you wanna go that route.

Review and Stack Options

Jones + Engram + Shepard — bring back — McLaurin, Richardson (see above, bring back however you see fit)

Keenum + McLaurin, Richardson, Thompson — bring back — Engram, Shepard

Seahawks @ Cardinals – 48 total

The Cardinals, and, whoever the Cardinals are playing are becoming my top stack targets each week. Due to the high pace the Cardinals play at, this gives us more opportunities to rack up fantasy points on both sides of these games. This week the Seahawks head to Arizona and there are a few ways we can go here.

For Seattle, Tyler Locket is the clear #1 option with a 28% target share on the season. DK Metcalf brings some big-play upside as a #2 option and TE Will Dissly, who had 2 touchdowns last week, is looking to be mega chalk this week on DK where he’s only $3,600. The only issue here is ownership, as Locket and Dissly will both be very high owned this week, but I love the Seahawks in this up-tempo spot.

On the Arizona side, they remain one of the easiest teams to stack as we know where virtually every target is going. Larry Fitzgerald and Christian Kirk make up 48% of this teams’ targets, and David Johnson adds another 13%. Combined all 3 account for 61% of the target share for this team, and they are all reasonably priced and easily paired with Kyler Murray at QB.
