Week 2 NFL DFS Stacks for DraftKings, FanDuel - Top Daily Fantasy Football Picks Include Kyler Murray, Cooper Kupp, Alvin Kamara, and More

September 13, 2024

Dawn's Week 2 NFL DFS stacks for FanDuel, DraftKings GPPs and the 2024 NFL season. Target these GPP stacks as daily fantasy football lineup picks and sleepers.

Welcome to Week 2 of NFL DFS stacks for DraftKings and FanDuel. The second week of the NFL season brings tension, suspense, and panic--and that's not just for teams who lost in week one!

This article will focus on Sunday's 1 p.m. main slate, which features 12 games on DraftKings and 13 on FanDuel. High-scoring games include the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at the Detroit Lions and the Los Angeles Rams at the Arizona Cardinals. Let's dig in and see which players look promising this week! 

I'll be here all season to talk stacks and strategy (@winesportstalk on Twitter/X). Here are my favorite game stacks for the NFL DFS slate on DraftKings and FanDuel, which kicks off at 1:00 PM EST on Sunday, September 15. 

Los Angeles Rams at Arizona Cardinals

• Kyler Murray (DK $6.6K, FD $8.0)
• Marvin Harrison Jr. (DK $6.9K, FD $6.5K)
• Trey McBride (DK $6.0K, FD $6.2K)

After a slow start, Marvin Harrison Jr. is looking for his breakout game. He'll get it this week, and due to his slow start, he'll be lower-owned, to the detriment of your fellow DFSers. If you add Trey McBride as a third option, he will undoubtedly be a lower-owned option due to his price and a super-sneaky addition to this stack.

Last week, the winner in one of my large-field tournaments had FOUR players from the Bucs who shredded the Commanders' secondary. Three Cardinals versus the Rams could similarly run up those tournament numbers.

Bring-back option:

• Cooper Kupp (DK $7.6, FD 7.7K $)

My favorite bring-back for Los Angeles is Cooper Kupp, who had 21 targets last week versus the Lions. With Puka Nacua out, the sky's the limit (and we are all aware of Kupp's ceiling). Again, this is an obvious choice but almost a lock.

New Orleans Saints at Dallas Cowboys

• Derek Carr (DK $5.3K, FD $7.2)
• Alvin Kamara  (DK $7.0K, FD $7.8)
• Taysom Hill (DK $3.9K, FD $6.6)

This is precisely the sort of game the Cowboys generally lose. In week one, Dak gets paid minutes before they play Cleveland, beating the Browns 33-17. Now they are back at Jerry World, where expectations are high (again), and Dak is ready to lead the Cowboys to the playoffs and a Super Bowl (again).

Dallas is favored by -6.5 (as of 9/13), but the Saints have a way of ruining Jerry's party. Even if Dallas gets the win, the Saints will keep it close, primarily if they focus on their running backs and tight ends.

Bring-back options:

• CeeDee Lamb (DK $8.8K, FD $9.1K)
• Brandin Cooks (DK $5.6K, FD $5.6K)

Detroit Lions vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers

• Jared Goff (DK $6.4K, FD $7.8K)
• Amon-Ra St. Brown (DK $8.1K, FD $9.0K)
• Jahmyr Gibbs (DK $6.6K, FD $7.9K)

Baker Mayfield and Jared Goff will both be low-owned on their own, but add a receiver and another player and the Bucs' ownership numbers kick up quite a bit. Tampa's shellacking of the Washington Commanders last week means recency bias will be strong, and Detroit stacks will certainly be lower-owned, even with a projected team total of almost 30.

Jamyr Gibbs had a strong outing last week and he'll look to have another one at home versus Tampa Bay. The Bucs thrashed the Commanders but also allowed 138 rushing yards.

Bring-back options:

• Mike Evans (DK $7.5K, FD $8.0K)

Last week, Chris Godwin had eight receptions for 88 yards and a touchdown. While cheaper than Mike Evans, which nudges Godwin's ownership up on its own, the recency bias will continue, which means Mike Evans and his $7.5 price tag will be much lower owned than he deserves.
