STLCards' NFL DFS Picks - Core Stacks: Week 5

Stacking in daily fantasy football can be the key to winning a large-field tournament. In this space, GPP master Justin “STLCardinals84” will detail his favorite correlations to help you optimize your DFS lineups.

Week 5

Welcome back, Grinders! The 2021 NFL season is officially in full swing, and we are now a month deep into the year. It’s crazy how fast time flies!

We have a very tricky slate on tap this week, as a lot of the more dangerous offenses (LAR, SEA, KC, BUF, and BAL) are playing in prime time this week. We also have one early start in London, which takes two more teams off the board. We’re left with a smaller main slate and some bad teams, but it’s time to make lemonade out of the lemons that we have. Let’s dig in!

An Introduction

In case you are new to the NFL DFS space or new to RotoGrinders, this was a new article series that began two years ago. The goal of the article is to detail some of my favorite GPP correlation plays of the week. These could be anything from full game stacks to simple QB/WR combinations to RB/DEF combinations to anything in between. I will include some chalkier builds and some lower owned builds throughout the article, and I will touch on our RotoGrinders projected ownership figures along the way.
