What is your favorite correlation and why?

Notorious: Jalen Hurts + Saquon Barkley – This isn’t a stack that I would employ on a full slate because Barkley isn’t heavily involved in the passing game. However, there are only 2 games on this slate, and the Eagles have the highest team total by a mile. By stacking these two, we are hoping to capture all of the Eagles’ offensive touchdowns. And if we get a Barkley receiving touchdown, that’s just icing on the cake.

stevietpfl: Caleb Williams + DJ Moore + Colston Loveland – Both Rome Odunze and Luther Burden III have been ruled out for Saturday’s NFC North showdown. This is a massive game for the Bears, and with both of their top receivers ruled out, I’m going to double-stack this cheap combo of Moore and Loveland. There is a chance Cole Kmet is limited as well. Moore had 41.6% of the team’s air yards in Week 15. Loveland had a 17.9% target rate, and that was with Burden playing most of the game. On a small slate, I’m willing to roll the dice on these double stacks.

Krayton: Caleb Williams + DJ Moore + Colston Loveland – With Rome Odunze and Luther Burden III ruled out, I have even more interest in this Bears offense. We also just got news that D’Andre Swift is questionable, as he is dealing with a groin injury, so I will be heavily focused on Moore, Loveland, and Kyle Monangai. Monangai is a great play even if Swift plays, as there is room for both of them to produce in this Bears offense. Loveland has gotten 5-6 targets per game in each of the last 4 games, and Cole Kmet isn’t 100%. I think this game is a great one to stack, and I love getting exposure to Jayden Reed on the other side now that he is fully healthy. He has the type of upside we are looking for in tournaments.

ebeimfohr: Jordan Love + Jayden Reed + DJ Moore – The field is understandably going to gravitate to Josh Jacobs, plus more of the passing-game options in PHI/WAS, so we can make a basic pivot here. Jacobs is a great play, but he’s still banged up on a short week, and Love has been playing at a really high level. It looks like Christian Watson is okay, and other weapons (e.g. Matthew Golden, Reed) are getting healthy. Reed has shown nuclear upside in the past, and that’s exactly what we want at reasonable pOWN% on these small slates. Rome Odunze and Luther Burden III are officially out, which opens the door for another big game from Moore. Burden was en route to a big game last week before hurting his ankle, but since he will be out for this one, it opens up Moore for a big game against a Packers defense that lost Micah Parsons.

ncorfield8k: Caleb Williams + Colston Loveland + Olamide Zaccheaus – The Packers defense will be without Micah Parsons for the rest of the season. While the defense was once elite, it should be in the middle of the pack for the rest of the season. The Bears offense will be without Rome Odunze and Luther Burden III. Zaccheaus should step back into the bigger role that Burden had taken from him, and Loveland should also see a usage bump. Loveland will be chalky, but Zaccheaus is projected to be fairly contrarian.

Davis Mattek: Caleb Williams + DJ Moore + Colston Loveland – This is such an interesting situation because Chicago is now down Luther Burden III AND Rome Odunze. They have not been a high-passing-volume team, but they now 1) are in a pass-heavy game script, and 2) have a very narrow target tree. I expect the Packers side of this game to be much more popular.

Jordan Vanek: Jordan Love + Jayden Reed + Romeo Doubs + D’Andre Swift + Kyle Monangai – The Bears found something in the run game during the 2nd half of the first matchup against the Packers, and I think that success carries over here. With Luther Burden III and Rome Odunze officially ruled out, there’s a realistic scenario where both Swift and Monangai see 18+ touches as the Bears take the ball out of the hands of Caleb Williams. That game script would force the Packers into 35+ pass attempts. With Christian Watson dealing with a shoulder issue, I’d expect Doubs to see more involvement on downfield shots, while Reed becomes the primary driver of yards after the catch.
