Are you ready for the Week 8 NFL DFS slate? Correlating your DFS lineup and stacking a team and/or game is often key to success in DFS. But who are the best Week 8 DFS stacks?
If you haven’t played DFS before, a stack is taking a team’s quarterback and wide receiver (or running back/tight end) in the same lineup. It’s a great way to capitalize on good performances and rack up points quickly. For Week 8, let’s look at some of the best stacks in every game on Sunday.

Week 8 DFS: One DFS Stack For Each Week 8 NFL Game
Houston Texans vs. Carolina Panthers
CJ Stroud $6400
Nico Collins $5500
QB CJ Stroud has had an impressive start to his rookie campaign for the Texans. Now he’s coming off a bye week and gets a weak Carolina defense to exploit. He can easily be paired with WR Nico Collins, who is still reasonably priced at $5500.
LA Rams vs. Dallas Cowboys
Dak Prescott $6100
CeeDee Lamb $7600
I think this game could be an overlooked spot to target offenses that have underperformed so far relative to their preseason expectations. Dallas is coming off a bye week and at home. The last time we saw them vs. the Chargers, the offense looked better, and I’m targeting them here looking for a post-bye offensive breakout.
Minnesota Vikings vs. Green Bay Packers
Kirk Cousins $6900
Jordan Addison $5700
On Monday night, the Vikings offense was insanely efficient against one of the NFL’s top defenses in the 49ers. WR Jordan Addison’s role since Justin Jefferson has been on IR has been massive, and his price has not really gone up since they played on Monday night.
New Orleans Saints vs. Indianapolis Colts
Gardner Minshew $5400
Josh Downs $4800
QB Gardner Minshew is a gunslinger and makes plenty of mistakes. But we don’t really care about that in fantasy. He gets himself in negative gamescripts and has thrown for over 300 yards the past two games as a starter. He can easily be paired with WR Josh Downs, whom he has targeted consistently and is a great paydown option at WR with good volume.
New England Patriots vs. Miami Dolphins
Tua Tagovailoa $7700
Tyreek Hill $9500
Note that WR Tyreek Hill is questionable, but he got in a limited practice on Thursday, which makes it hopeful that he’ll play Sunday. Pay attention to practice and injury reports this weekend. In the previous meeting this season, the Patriots limited Hill, but that was before rookie CB Christian Gonzales went on IR. Gonzales had an impressive start and was part of the reason the Patriots successfully limited Hill that night. Now their defense is missing multiple starters, so look for Mike McDaniel and this offense to exploit that.
New York Giants vs. New York Jets
Zach Wilson $4800
Garrett Wilson $6300
The answer here is actually probably RB Breece Hall and the Jets’ defense. But for the QB/WR stack, I would much prefer going up against the Giants’ defense than the Jets’ defense. This is a reasonably priced stack and an alpha receiver. It’s just not a QB we like to play. But if Zach Wilson can have a game like he did vs. the Chiefs, that would be a smash at this price.
Jacksonville Jaguars vs. Pittsburgh Steelers
Trevor Lawrence $6200
Christian Kirk $5900
The NFL season comes at you fast, with WR Christian Kirk now priced above WR Calvin Ridley. But Kirk is getting the much more valuable, easily converted targets, and he’s made the most of it. The price is still reasonable for both players, and both have a big upside.
Atlanta Falcons vs. Tennessee Titans
Desmond Ridder $5100
Kyle Pitts $3800
The Titans are without Ryan Tannehill and are possibly the combination of Will Levis and Malik Willis. The Titans are also a pass funnel that we want to target. With Ridder, I like the idea of taking the cheaper option in TE Kyle Pitts since he’s basically a receiver for the Falcons.
Philadelphia Eagles vs. Washington Commanders
Jalen Hurts $8200
AJ Brown $8000
The Washington defense is one we want to target this year, especially their secondary. When these two teams faced Week 4, WR AJ Brown had 41.5 DraftKings points, and QB Jalen Hurts had 27.16 DraftKings points. It is an expensive stack, but worth the price.
Seattle Seahawks vs. Cleveland Browns
Geno Smith $5900
Jaxon Smith-Njigba $4300
For Seattle, it looks like WR DK Metcalf will be back, but now WR Tyler Lockett hasn’t practiced and is questionable. Smith-Njigba had his best performance of the season last week with Metcalf out. I would rather take the cheaper option for this stack because I’m not interested in stacking up either passing game.
Baltimore Ravens vs. Arizona Cardinals
Lamar Jackson $8100
Zay Flowers $5600
QB Lamar Jackson and the Ravens’ offense were unstoppable vs. the Lions last week. Jackson put up a whopping 37.88 DraftKings points. The offense was in rhythm and looked the best it has all year. I’ll take the receiver with the best target share (28%) to pair with Jackson in this pristine matchup vs. one of the NFL’s worst defenses.
Kansas City Chiefs vs. Denver Broncos
Patrick Mahomes $8400
Travis Kelce $8400
QB Patrick Mahomes and TE Travis Kelce went off last week and were the top stack on the slate. They could easily do the same this week vs. this weak Broncos defense. Both are priced at $8400. Again, it’s expensive, but it’s worth the price. Kelce has had over 120 yards receiving in each of the last two games.
Cincinnati Bengals vs. San Francisco 49ers
Joe Burrow $6000
Ja’Marr Chase $8100
Also, coming off their bye week, the Bengals should be the healthiest they’ve been this season, especially QB Joe Burrow. It has been a rocky start to the season for Burrow, dealing with a calf injury, but hopefully, that’s past him now. Ja’Marr Chase has been his alpha receiver and target monster all season and has had anywhere from 8-19 targets in every game.
