What is your favorite correlation and why?

Notorious: Bryce Young + Rico Dowdle + Tetairoa McMillan – I did this exact same stack with the Jets (Justin Fields + Breece Hall + Garrett Wilson) last week against the Cowboys, and it worked wonders. All three players had big fantasy outings. This is an extremely cheap stack and one that could really pay dividends. This season, the Cowboys are dead last in fantasy points allowed and 29th in actual points allowed. To make the stack more enticing, the Panthers are playing at home and are likely going to be without Chuba Hubbard and Ja’Tavion Sanders. I’m hoping to capture all of Carolina’s offensive touchdowns with this stack. And if you want to make it a full game stack, I love Javonte Williams, George Pickens, and Jake Ferguson on the other side.

stevietpfl: Bryce Young + Tetairoa McMillan + Jake Ferguson – As much as I like Rico Dowdle in this game, I feel like he’s going to be over-owned after running free on my Dolphins last weekend. I like the passing game for Carolina, which we don’t get to say too often. Dallas is 31st in pass EPA. They’ve allowed the most fantasy points to both quarterbacks and wide receivers this season. McMillan has a 22.8% target rate with 41.8% of the team’s air yards. He’s been the first read 28.4% of the time this season. I’ll play some George Pickens in this stack, but Ferguson is my favorite bring-back option. He leads the team with a 27.5% first-read rate and 24% target rate. Ferguson has at least 7 catches in 4 straight games.

Krayton: Dak Prescott + Jake Ferguson + Rico Dowdle – Dak has been playing at an elite level and continues to put up big fantasy numbers. He threw for 4 TDs last week and hasn’t missed a beat, even with CeeDee Lamb out of the lineup. He gets another great matchup facing the Panthers, and Dak usually comes in quite a bit lower owned than I expect him to be. After watching last week’s game, I am going to continue to target Ferguson, as he is seeing all of the targets that he can handle. He has scored 3 TDs in the last couple of games without Lamb, and I am going to continue to target him, even with the higher price tag. On the other side of the game, Dowdle is my guy, as Chuba Hubbard is trending toward being out again, and Dowdle had a huge game last week in Hubbard’s absence (206 rushing yards and 1 TD). I also think Tetairoa McMillan is another great bring-back option.

ebeimfohr: Bryce Young + Tetairoa McMillan + Jake Ferguson – As much as I love Dak Prescott and the Cowboys this week, I’m excited to save some money with a QB against the worst defense in the NFL and an offense that will push him to score. Every single week, the QB and passing game against the Cowboys have performed well, and they currently sit as the single-worst passing defense in the entire NFL (32nd in EPA/play allowed). TMac is the alpha for the Panthers, and hopefully we get Jalen Coker back to make the offense more dynamic. Ferguson is an elite option on the other side of the game. He is the TE1 in fantasy through 5 weeks by a wide margin (17 PPR points per game), but he isn’t priced like it, and he should continue to benefit from the Cowboys passing volume and the absence of CeeDee Lamb.

ncorfield8k: Justin Herbert + Ladd McConkey + Keenan Allen – It didn’t work last week. Joe Alt is out once again. It could fail. But with Omarion Hampton out this week, it is more likely that the Chargers lean on passing against a Dolphins defense that has allowed the 4th-most schedule-adjusted fantasy points per game to quarterbacks. The pOWN% is in single digits for each part of this stack. If Quentin Johnston is ultimately ruled out, McConkey and Allen will see a bump, but I don’t expect it to get out of hand.

Davis Mattek: Trevor Lawrence + Brian Thomas Jr + Jaxon Smith-Njigba – The Seattle defense came into this season as one of the league’s best, but they have a rash of cluster injuries in their secondary that have set this game up to be a true shootout. Thomas’ routes and target share have spiked the last 2 games, suggesting he might be healing up from his wrist injury. JSN has the 2nd-most valuable target share in the NFL behind only Puka Nacua and is cheaper on both sites while also projecting for less ownership.

Jordan Vanek: Jordan Love + Tucker Kraft + Romeo Doubs or Matthew Golden – The Bengals have one of the lowest pressure rates in the NFL, and when Love isn’t pressured, he’s been highly efficient, posting an aDOT of 10.2 yards and an 8.3% touchdown rate. That sets up well for Green Bay’s deep passing game. While the downfield shots could go to either Doubs or Golden, Kraft profiles as the key piece underneath, thriving on crossing routes and over-the-middle targets. This is an onslaught stack that I believe can have 4+ TDs in which all of the TDs come from these players, helping you avoid some popularity going toward Josh Jacobs.
