DFS Core Plays & Stacks for Week 6

There’s nothing quite like NFL DFS, with a new sweat every week. Some may view the game as just a hobby, while others use it as a meaningful source of income to help build their bankroll week to week. Whatever your goal may be, it’s important to set benchmarks and track your progress throughout the season to ensure your process is sound.

One of the easiest ways to become a profitable DFS player and maximize your ROI is through contest selection and entering tournaments best suited to your strengths. Cash games are a great way to double your entry fee, playing the best median projected lineup, only needing to beat a little over half of the field. With that said, if you’re looking for an even bigger payday GPPs would be the preferred route, with payouts issued to the top-scoring lineups that crack the upper percentile of the contest.

Each week, I’ll go position by position, breaking down my core plays for tournaments, in order of descending salary. And I will always stack my core quarterbacks, so look out for pairings when building your lineups. I’ll continue to update the article up until kickoff, adjusting for any late-breaking news throughout the weekend with a better gauge of rostership. I’ll also be available in the FTN Daily Discord to answer questions and share my thoughts throughout the week.

Quarterback

Jalen Hurts, Philadelphia Eagles ($7,200)

Jalen Hurts finally gets back his full arsenal of weapons, taking on a Browns team that hasn’t been nearly the same defense from a season ago, dealing with significant injuries in their secondary. Cleveland has been above league average at defending the pass, but has struggled against mobile quarterbacks, allowing the sixth-most carries (5.5) and eighth-most rushing yards (29.8) per game to the position, ranked 23rd in DVOA against the rush (-2.2%).
