Week 6 DFS Picks: Best Game and Team Stacks

Every week, I will go through the players I am targeting to play in DFS for all games, tournaments, and game stacks.

The idea is that this will paint a clearer picture of framing lineups.

One of my favorite ways to play DFS from a tournament standpoint is small-field, single-entry to five-max games with fields of 5K or smaller.

Both sites even offer these types of games with fewer than 100 entries (albeit at a higher cost of entry) if you want to go after a really small field.

In these contests, my approach is to go with full-game stacks.

You will likely lose a lot of weeks, but if you get the game right, you will gain a significant advantage.

Just cashing in on one of these over an 18-week season can make your entire year.

When doing these, I want to aggressively build around games that have a wider range of outcomes.

Still, with the reduced number of entries, you can also eat some chalky game stacks because we are going further in the overall game stack than our opponents likely will.

This is the spot where you will find some missing names from the core and tournament play sections.

Just because a player is not mentioned in those two pieces does not mean I will have zero exposure to them.

These are the games I am circling for those tournaments in Week 6, but you can also tie these games into your stacks for other tournaments.

I will analyze the player selections and game writeups, but please refer to the Week 6 Worksheet for a detailed breakdown of the players and games.

Chargers at Dolphins

We did not write up many of the individual pieces from this game in our targeted player pool, but I am interested in the apex outcome here, should things play out as a shootout.

Justin Herbert has felt the sting of the offensive line injuries, but the Miami defense could be the cure to stop the bleeding for at least one week.

The Dolphins are allowing 3.07 points per drive, 31st in the league.

With Omarion Hampton's injury after the team had already lost Najee Harris, the Chargers should run this offense through Herbert.

You can stack him with your favorites from Quentin Johnston, Ladd McConkey, and Keenan Allen.

I prefer Johnston of that group.

If pushing for a double stack, I lean Allen over McConkey.

You can punt tight end with Oronde Gadsden if you are feeling brave.

The Miami side is clear as well since they run a concentrated offense.

De’Von Achane, Jaylen Waddle, and Darren Waller are all stacking options to bring back with the Charger pieces.
