Week 4 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 4, 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 4 Worksheet for a detailed breakdown of the players and games.

Colts at Rams

The late window on Sunday has some high-scoring potential this week, and we start with this 49.5-point total.

The Colts lead the NFL with 3.69 points per drive.

The Rams are sixth with 2.35 points per drive.

7.7% of Indianapolis' sets of downs have resulted in a three-and-out, the lowest rate in the league. The league average is 33.3%.

The Rams are second, with a 12.9% rate of three-and-outs.

The Colts have gained 10 or more yards on 24.2% of their offensive plays, the second-highest percentage in the league.

The Rams have gained 10 or more yards on 22.5% of their offensive plays, third in the league.

Double stacks can be found on both sides.

Daniel Jones has primary stacking options in Michael Pittman, Tyler Warren, and Adonai Mitchell.

I prefer the Pittman and Mitchell pairing myself, but I will also have some builds with Warren paired with each receiver.

You can also pair Jones with Jonathan Taylor in an attempt to capture all of the offensive touchdowns in some capacity for this offense, especially with Taylor having the most prominent receiving role of his career to open this season.

The other side is much easier to diagnose.

Eight wide receivers have a 30% target share or higher through the first eight weeks.

Two of them are on the Rams.

Puka Nacua and Davante Adams are soaking up all of the passing volume here.
