Week 6 NFL DFS Stacks for DraftKings, FanDuel - Top Daily Fantasy Football Picks Include Jayden Daniels, Amon-Ra St. Brown, Derrick Henry, and Jalen Hurts

October 11, 2024

Dawn's Week 6 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 6 of NFL DFS stacks for DraftKings and FanDuel. It's Week 6 of the NFL season, and the drama continues! Jets head coach Robert Saleh is out; who will be calling plays for A-A-ron? The game of the week features Jayden Daniels and the Commanders in a battle with Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens. As a Commanders fan, I'm staying positive, but we in DMV aren't used to this sort of success!

This article will focus on Sunday's 1 p.m. main slate for DraftKings and FanDuel. Last week, I targeted the Bengals, Bills, and 49ers. The Bengals and Niners came to play, but the Bills were a bit of a bust. Let's see where I go this week!

I'll be here all season to talk stacks and strategy (@winesportstalk on X). Who do I think is due for a breakout game this week? Let's find out! These are my favorite game stacks for the NFL DFS slate on DraftKings and FanDuel, which kicks off at 1:00 p.m. EDT on Sunday, October 13. 

Washington Commanders at Baltimore Ravens

• Jayden Daniels (DK $7.3K, FD $8.7K)
• Terry McLaurin (DK $6.4K, FD $6.8K)
• Luke McCaffrey (DK $3.7K, FD $4.5K)

Daniels has oddly low ownership, and if I'm to believe the scuttlebutt around the water cooler, most talking heads believe Daniels will finally meet his match against the Ravens this Sunday afternoon. Even if Baltimore wins, we know the rookie QB has a high ceiling, and this game has the potential to be one of the higher-scoring games on the slate.

McLaurin will be highly owned, but he will catch bombs from Daniels. With ownership low for the young quarterback and Luke McCaffrey, it'll compensate for Scary Terry's high ownership. Speaking of McCaffrey, this could be the breakout game we've been waiting for, and he's looking at very low ownership.

Bring-back option:

• Derrick Henry (DK $8.0K, FD $9.1K)
• Isaiah Likely (DK $4.5K, FD $5.8K)

At 8K on DraftKings, Henry is a bit of a risk when it comes to building lineups, but if the Ravens beat the Commanders, it'll be because of King Henry and Lamar Jackson. Mark Andrews is still in the TE mix in Baltimore, but Isaiah Likely is the one hauling in touchdowns, two of which were against the Bengals last week.

Sneaky Option: Instead of McLaurin, slide in Austin Ekeler. At over 5K, he's not the best value, but that adds to his low ownership. We know he can break a couple of long runs and a TD or two, and those touchdowns will most likely be from a pass from Daniels.

Philadelphia Eagles vs. Cleveland Browns

• Jalen Hurts (DK $7.5K, FD $8.2K)
• Saquon Barkley (DK $8.2K, FD $9.2K)
• A.J. Brown (DK $7.8K, FD $8.2K)

A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith return to the Eagles this week, and after a bye, they should be ready to go against a Browns team that is a dumpster fire. Cleveland has allowed eight rushing touchdowns this year; Saquon Barkley has to be licking his chops getting ready for this matchup.

While the Browns focus on Barkley, wide receivers Brown and Smith will be running down the field, hoping to do what Terry McLaurin did against Cleveland last week. Philly's ownership is lower than that of other stacks, including Dallas, Atlanta, and Baltimore, with a similar team total.

Bring-back option: How about NONE?!

• If anything, tack on DeVonta Smith as a fourth Eagle because Philly needs a win. After watching Washington have its way with the Browns, this is the game for the Eagles to get back on track, and everyone will feast!

Sneaky Option: Most people are looking to the Dallas vs. Detroit game for a high-scoring stack, but Philly is projected to score almost the same number of points as Dallas. If this is to be its get-right game, all players on the offense (and defense) will be involved.

Detroit Lions at Dallas Cowboys

• Jared Goff (DK $6.4K, FD $7.7K)
• Amon-Ra St. Brown (DK $8.1K, FD $9.0K)
• David Montgomery (DK $6.5K, FD $7.9K)

This is one of the highest game totals on the slate, and the Lions are favored in Dallas, yet they are the lower-owned stack. The Cowboys squeaked out a win against Pittsburgh last week, but this week, they will be without Micah Parsons and continue to be without Trevon Diggs, among others.

Dallas seems to wilt under the pressure of playing at Jerry World, and with the Cowboys not being able to stop the run (I need to see more than what they did against Pittsburgh), David Montgomery and Jahmyr Gibbs could have themselves a day and a low-owned day at that.

Whatever your #NFL fandom, we all saw predictions that David Montgomery would regress this year.

NOT.

Through 4 games, he's on pace for another 1,000-yard season and 17 TDs. The #Lions’ two-headed monster of Montgomery and @Jahmyr_Gibbs1 is quite impressive entering a Week 6… pic.twitter.com/xsVU8COo0e

Bring-back option:

• CeeDee Lamb (DK $7.5K, FD $8.2K)

Who else? Regardless of the beef between Lamb and Prescott (don't tell me there isn't one), the wide receiver is nearly impossible to cover. If Dallas is to have any chance against the Lions, Prescott and Lamb need to get in sync, on and off the field.

Sneaky Option: Stack Goff with two running backs or one running back and Sam LaPorta.

Good luck in your tournaments, and see you next week!
