The top player stacks for Week 4 in DFS

ORCHARD PARK, NY - DECEMBER 18: Tyrod Taylor #5 of the Buffalo Bills congratulates LeSean McCoy #25 of the Buffalo Bills after a touchdown against the Cleveland Browns during the second half at New Era Field on December 18, 2016 in Orchard Park, New York. (Photo by Brett Carlsen/Getty Images)

The stacking strategy in DFS involves pairing multiple skill position players from the same team. In some occasions, there is value in loading up with an “onslaught” — as it’s termed in the DFS community — with sometimes up to four players from the same team.

Just like any strategy option in DFS, there are multiple ways to grab value from stacking. You can pay up for your stack and find two of the highest-scoring players in all of DFS that week. Sometimes, you can even find two of the highest scorers without paying up and instead finding value in the middle range. And of course, you can win using my favorite strategy — bargain stacks that allow you to find game-winners in the rest of your lineup.

Every week we’ll break down all of my favorite stacks overall and make the case for why you should be using them in your DFS tournament and cash games. Here’s the list for Week 4.

(These tacks are not specific to FanDuel or DraftKings unless specified in the write-up.)

Tyrod Taylor, QB, and LeSean McCoy, RB, Buffalo Bills (at Falcons)

No Bills wide receiver has seen more than 10 targets all season, but how do you not get exposure to a Bills stack in this game? Taylor is cheaper than nearly every starting quarterback on DK and nine others on FD. Meanwhile, he heads indoors to matchup against a Falcons offense that will score points to keep pressure on the Bills passing game and against a Falcons defense that allowed the most fantasy points to quarterbacks last year and the second-most receptions per game to opposing running backs this year. Oh, and this game carries the highest over/under too. Grab McCoy, fade the receivers, and enjoy this cheap stack that allows you to budget at other positions for your tournament.
