Welcome to Week 7 of NFL DFS stacks for DraftKings and FanDuel. It's Week 7 of the NFL season, and the drama continues! Let's see ... Jerry Jones blasted the radio hosts of the Cowboys' radio station for asking reasonable questions after being blown out by the Lions, Davante Adams was traded to the Jets, and Amari Cooper was traded to the Bills. No one was traded to the Cowboys. Let's dig in!
This article will focus on Sunday's 1 p.m. main slate for DraftKings and FanDuel. Last week, I targeted the Commanders, Eagles, and Lions. The Lions did what I expected and then some, but the Eagles barely squeaked a win against the Browns. Mea culpa! Let's move on!
I'll be here all season to talk stacks and strategy (@dawntepper). 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 20.

Atlanta Falcons vs. Seattle Seahawks
- Kirk Cousins (DK $6.3K, FD $7.2K)
- Drake London (DK $6.9K, FD $7.5K)
- Kyle Pitts (DK $4.5K, FD $5.9K)
Captain Kirk is facing a Seattle defense that has allowed eight passing touchdowns and 9.5 yards per attempt in its last three games. It could be a long day for Seattle, but if it can keep this game close, Cousins will be throwing a lot, and many of those throws will go the way of Drake London.
London has four receiving touchdowns this season and averages over six receptions per game with 11.3 yards per reception. Kyle Pitts is ranked seventh in fantasy points among tight ends, with 5.4 fantasy points per game and 14.6 yards per reception.
Kyle Pitts is the only TE in the league to have 2 receptions of 50 yards or more https://t.co/S1LQkCOFaJ pic.twitter.com/IAysL3cgmM

Green Bay Packers vs. Houston Texans
- Jordan Love (DK $6.9K, FD $8.7K)
- Jayden Reed (DK $7.2K, FD $7.6K)
- (DK $5.2K, FD $5.6K)
This game has one of the highest totals of the week and one of the smallest spreads, which usually means both quarterbacks will be throwing the entirety of the game. I'm leaning toward Love and the Packers at home. The Packers QB and Jayden Reed have a good thing going right now.
Reed has had 14 targets, 11 receptions, 277 yards, and two touchdowns in two games with Love. The wide receiver also has two carries for 35 rushing yards and a rushing touchdown. With Nico Collins sidelined, Stefon Diggs and Tank Dell will receive plenty of targets from C.J. Stroud. Positioned in the slot, Dell is likely to see more passes thrown his way this Sunday.
Week 7:
Texans (5-1) @ Packers (4-2)
QB C.J. Stroud vs. QB Jordan Love

Minnesota Vikings vs. Detroit Lions
- Sam Darnold (DK $6.2K, FD $7.5K)
- Justin Jefferson (DK $8.5K, FD $9.4K)
- Jordan Addison (DK $5.6K, FD $6.3K)
The Vikings hosting Detroit will be another game with a high points total. I'm going with Darnold at home with a Vikings defense that will make things difficult for Jared Goff. Minnesota's defense ranks third in sacks (20) and second in total takeaways (13), including 11 interceptions.
Justin Jefferson is costly, but if this game is going to be as high-scoring as I think, Jefferson will be heavily involved. If you want to keep your Vikings stack lower-owned, fade Jefferson, keep Jordan Addison, and add Cam Akers. Akers was traded from Houston and could see a lot of playing time with Aaron Jones dealing with a hip injury.
Welcome back to Minnesota, Cam Akers.
This move makes a lot of sense. Akers knows the offense and can play on all three downs if needed. A much-needed depth boost for little cost. pic.twitter.com/1hUd49mGN2
