So, the logical next step is to see what types of stacks performed the best, right?

As we showed in the first stacking article, most DFS players have figured out that stacking your QB with one of his WRs is a beneficial way to build NFL DFS lineups. This makes all the sense in the world since the correlation between the two positions is so strong. But with everyone doing it now is there any value left? Or should we start to look at more creative ways to get exposure to high-scoring offenses?
