Week 7 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 7, 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 7 Worksheet for a detailed breakdown of the players and games.

Commanders at Cowboys

By far the highest total game on the main slate (54.5 points) is indoors, featuring two pass defenses (and one all-around bad defense) that have been allowing explosive plays at a high rate.

Cowboy games are averaging a league-high 799.2 combined yards per game.

Washington games are averaging 702.5 combined yards per game, fourth highest in the league.

This is going to be a popular game, but you can go overboard in this game with a complete onslaught in both directions in small-field, single-entry tournaments.

I do like playing this through the Dallas passing game paired with Washington tagalongs.

Dak Prescott has stacking options in CeeDee Lamb, George Pickens, and Jake Ferguson.

I prefer Lamb and Ferguson, but will have at least one build with Pickens.

Javonte Williams can join the Washington side.

You have to take some risk with Deebo Samuel being a game-time call, given his injury, when stacking Jayden Daniels, but you also have a reliable Zach Ertz as a lower-end play.

Another way to get unique with Washington is to play Daniels with Bill Croskey-Merritt as an avenue to soak up all of the Washington touchdowns in some capacity.

That is my preferred path over chasing the Washington pass catchers beyond Samuel.

Saints at Bears
