In fantasy football NFL DFS, stacking lineups means picking players from one team to get more points. This works because when a team does well, many players from that team get points, making NFL DFS Stacks very profitable.
For example, when a quarterback throws a touchdown, both the quarterback and the receiver get points. So, if you choose a quarterback and his wide receiver together, you can get double points when they score a touchdown.

It’s also smart to pick a quarterback and his tight end because tight ends are good at catching passes near the opponent’s goal line. Another good idea is to pick a quarterback and his running back because they often work together on running plays and screen passes. When you choose players from the same team like this, you have a better chance of getting a lot of points and winning your fantasy football league.
But remember, there are risks. If the team doesn’t play well or if the quarterback gets hurt, you might not get many points. So, you have to think about the good and bad things when you stack players in NFL DFS.

Best NFL DFS Stacks Week 4: GPP Lineup Picks for DraftKings & FanDuel
Best Quarterback-Wide Receiver NFL DFS Stacks
QB Russell Wilson ($5800 on DK, $7500 on FD) and WR Courtland Sutton ($5300 on DK, $7100 on FD)
Russell Wilson came out of his shell in Week 2, scoring 25.9 fantasy points (QB3) while rushing for 56 yards in a vintage performance that turned some heads. Though he came back to earth a little in a Week 3 game against the Dolphins that quickly got out of hand, he did eclipse 300 yards passing for the second week in a row.
Courtland Sutton provides enough oomph to qualify as a player with a ceiling high enough to garner GPP attention, as he has accounted for 29.4% of Wilson’s red zone targets and two touchdowns through three games.
Best Quarterback-Tight End NFL DFS Stacks
QB Justin Herbert ($7800 on DK, $8600 on FD) and TE Gerald Everett ($3600 on DK, $5000 on FD)
Fantasy managers are (justifiably) annoyed by Donald Parham’s red zone usage through three weeks, but that should help put us on Gerald Everett at lowered ownership. Everett is still getting used in the red zone (two targets to Parham’s four), it’s just that his tight end teammate has been more efficient, scoring three times on his targets.
In the Chargers first game without Mike Williams (season-ending IR), it will be worthwhile to attack the ambiguity of the team’s current pass-catchers.
Best Running Back-Defense NFL DFS Stacks
RB Joe Mixon ($6400 on DK, $7400 on FD) and DEF Cincinnati Bengals ($3800 on DK, $4100 on FD)
The Bengals’ defense has certainly not been the main talking point of their season up to this point, but maybe they’re being a little too overlooked.
Cincinnati currently ranks second in sack rate (12.2%) and eighth in adjusted sack rate (9.1%), even though they have been playing from behind on 52.6% of their snaps. That script is unlikely to continue in Week 4, as they head to Tennessee to take on a moribund offense as 2.5-point favorites.
Ryan Tannehill had a great Week 2 against the Chargers defense, but in his two other games (Saints, Browns), he has completed 49.1% of his passes for 302 yards (5.1 yards per attempt).
Over those 70 dropbacks, he has been pressured 29 times for a 41.4% pressure rate. The offensive line ranks only ahead of the Jets’ line with a 4.08 blown block percentage, per Sports Info Solutions. If the Bengals’ offense can get rolling and put some pressure on the Titans to take to the air, they could have a similar outcome to Week 3, when they manhandled a struggling Rams offensive line for six sacks.

Best NFL DFS Stacks Week 4: Cash Game Lineup Picks for DraftKings & FanDuel
Best Quarterback-Tight End NFL DFS Stacks
QB Kenny Pickett ($5100 on DK, $6800 on FD) and TE Pat Freiermuth ($3400 on DK, $5500 on FD)
No one will deny that Kenny Pickett has had a rough go of it through the season’s first three games. After all, he is fantasy’s QB25, scoring 12.8 fantasy points per game, and hasn’t thrown for more than 235 yards up to this point in the year.
That is very likely to change in Week 4 against a Texans defense that ranks 20th in schedule-adjusted fantasy points allowed to opposing offenses. A huge ceiling game for Pickett is a low-probability outcome, but with how cheap this stack is, you can build studs in other areas of your lineup.
