Fantasy football Week 6 DFS lineup picks: Best stacks for DraftKings, FanDuel contests image

What's better than getting big passing, rushing, or receiving performances in your Week 6 daily fantasy football lineups on DraftKings and FanDuel? Trying to double or triple up your scoring potential with smart DFS stacks of multiple players or entities from the same team.

The best stacks don't always include the biggest stars, as advised below, but finding lower-rostered, productive gems is another key to winning in DFS.

Let's take a look at the best correlated DFS combinations to consider when trying to maximize points in cash games and take down some big tournaments during Sunday's 1 p.m. ET main slate.

Week 6 DraftKings, FanDuel Picks: Best stacks for daily fantasy football tournaments

Best QB-WR stack

Dallas Cowboys
Dak Prescott ($6,700 DK, $8,000 FD)
Jalen Tolbert ($5,000 DK, $6,100 FD)

Prescott has found his CeeDee Lamb double-team relief while Brandin Cooks is on the shelf. Tolbert is finally putting it together as a promising No. 2 with growing trust from Prescott. He should be busy with the Cowboys chucking a ton at home on the Lions.

Best QB-TE stack

Arizona Cardinals
Kyler Murray ($6,800 DK, $7,800 FD)
Trey McBride ($5,700 DK, $6,500 FD)

The Packers have trouble covering the tight end, and McBride was locked into Murray right away in his return in Week 5. Murray should be busy throwing to McBride and Marvin Harrison Jr. in catchup mode opposite Jordan Love in Green Bay.

Best RB-Defense Stack

Los Angeles Chargers
J.K. Dobbins ($6,200 DK, $6,700 FD)
Chargers D/ST ($3,300 DK, $4,400 FD)

J.K. All Day should return to be a game plan after the bye as the matchup screams for it, as it did Week 1 vs. the Raiders and Week 2 vs. the Panthers. The Broncos should be run on over and over again, and here's an opportunity to do just that with a relentless Greg Roman run-heavy offense's best back. The defense then can respond taking care of Bo Nix.

Best "Onslaught" Stack

Atlanta Falcons
Kirk Cousins ($6,200 DK, $7,400 FD)
Darnell Mooney ($5,300 DK, $6,500 FD)

Kyle Pitts ($4,400 DK, $5,900 FD)

The Falcons won't need to throw as much this week with a likely positive game script in Carolina, but they should get plenty of damage done in Zac Robinson's pass-happier offense as they work to score with big pass plays from Cousins first before turning the game over to Bijan Robinson and the rushing attack in the second half.

Week 6 NFL DFS Picks: Top cash game stacks for DraftKings, FanDuel

Best QB-WR stack

Washington Commanders
Jayden Daniels ($6,500 DK, $8,200 FD)
Terry McLaurin ($6,500 DK, $87200 FD)

This dynamic downfield duo has gotten hot downfield and in the red zone now, too. The Ravens tend to give up a lot of big plays and scores to wide receivers with their coverage issues, which plays nicely into a well-protected Daniels striking often to Scary Terry in what should be a high-scoring affair down the Beltway in Baltimore vs. Lamar Jackson.

Best RB-Defense stack

Philadelphia Eagles
Saquon Barkley ($6,800 DK, $7,400 FD)
Eagles D/ST ($3,400 DK, $4,800 FD)

Barkley might have a limited ceiling this week because the Eagles will want to get their passing game back on track with their wide receivers healthy for Jalen Hurts, but he has a very high rushing and receiving floor. The Eagles then will tee off much better in their fifth game under coordinator Vic Fangio.
