5 Best Value QB/WR Stacks for DFS in Week 4
Best Value DFS Stacks
Each week, with the help of our premium DFS Stacking Page, we’re going to be diving into the main DFS slates for DraftKings, FanDuel, and Yahoo to give you the QB-WR stacks that represent the best value on the board.
When possible, we’ll look to avoid throwing out the obvious names. However, just because a player is well known, that doesn’t mean they’re the easy pick when filling out your roster — and it also doesn’t mean that their price tag accurately matches their potential production. For example, last week we had Justin Herbert and Keenan Allen as one of our suggested combinations. The two had just struggled against the Dallas Cowboys, which led to them being underutilized in Week 3. They responded by combining to score 49.84 fantasy points, with both outscoring their weekly projections.
With that said, these are the five combinations you should keep an eye on in Week 4 of the NFL regular season:
Miami Dolphins (vs. Indianapolis Colts)
- QB – Jacoby Brissett (DraftKings: $5,100 / FanDuel: $6,500 / Yahoo: $20)
- WR – Jaylen Waddle (DraftKings: $4,900 / FanDuel: $5,400 / Yahoo: $18)
Last week, Brissett nearly led the Dolphins to a win over the Las Vegas Raiders, but they ultimately came up just short in overtime. Brissett wasn’t great throwing the ball in the game, as he was just 32 for 49 with no touchdowns or interceptions. He did, however, rush for 37 yards and a score, and he now gets a crack at his most recent former team, so he should be extremely familiar with their coverages.
On the season, only five teams in football are giving up more yards per play through the air than Indianapolis’ 6.3, and the Colts are also in the bottom half of the league against the pass in third-down situations. Both of those things make it likely that Brissett will be able to put together some successful drives in this game, and the fact that he is now willing to use his legs a bit more is an added bonus.
As for Waddle, it’s only a matter of time before the rookie really turns in a breakout performance. Last week, he hauled in 12 of his 13 targets for 58 yards and was clearly the guy that Brissett trusted the most. The veteran backup was peppering Waddle on shorter routes in the game, but he should get to work a little deeper on the field against a struggling Indianapolis defense. The Colts have allowed the fifth-most fantasy points to wideouts this season, and Miami offensive coordinators Eric Studesville and George Godsey have to know that they can use Waddle’s speed to exploit Indianapolis.
This is tied for our fourth-best value on DraftKings this week and it’s also a good option on FanDuel. On Yahoo, Brissett is part of three of the top-five values, so you can pick your poison at wideout if you don’t want to roll with Waddle.
