DFS Week 6 Builds: Jacobs Workload, Jeanty Versatility, and Low-Cost Stacks Define the Slate

DFS Week 6 Builds: Jacobs Workload, Jeanty Versatility, and Low-Cost Stacks Define the Slate

After some chaos last week (and no wins to show for it), Week 6 offers a reset with several paths to steady points and bounce-back value. Between high-volume running backs, mid-tier receivers, and flexible stacking options, this slate has the potential to swing back in our favor.

DraftKings Lineup

Play Breakdown:
Justin Herbert anchors the DraftKings build in what should be a fast-paced matchup with Miami. Ladd McConkey fits the stack as he finally had a good game last week and hoping he repeats that again this week. Jake Ferguson has been the top tight end in fantasy this year, and should be in line for another big week.

Josh Jacobs may have seen his touchdown streak end, but the workload hasn’t. Ashton Jeanty’s dual-threat skill set continues to flash, making him a worthy pairing. Horton and Legette round out the receiving corps as low cost flyers with real upside. Green Bay’s defense provides cap-friendly stability against Cincinnati.

FanDuel Lineup

Play Breakdown:
Matthew Stafford leads the FanDuel side in a correlation stack with Davante Adams, banking on volume and red-zone work. Jacobs again anchors the backfield, while Jeanty repeats as FLEX for both value and explosiveness.

Stefon Diggs comes in discounted but still commands a target share worth chasing. Michael Pittman Jr. and Hill provide safe mid-tier floors, while Haskins supplies lineup flexibility if his usage climbs after the Hampton injury. The Packers D remains the budget-friendly constant across both builds with a pocket passing Joe Flacco in Cincy for less than a week and behind a line that puts the offensive in offensive line.

FanDuel vs DraftKings

  • DraftKings: Herbert–McConkey stack; Jacobs–Jeanty backfield blend; Pickens for ceiling.
  • FanDuel: Stafford–Adams stack; Diggs/Pittman stability; Jeanty as repeat FLEX.
  • Overlap: Jacobs, Jeanty, Packers D — workload and matchup volume drive the correlation.

DFS Angle of the Week

  • Jacobs’ TD streak may be over, but his touch volume still locks him in as a cornerstone play.
  • Jeanty’s all-purpose role keeps paying off in both formats.
  • The Herbert–McConkey combo offers an efficient, low-cost QB stack.
  • Stafford–Adams could be one of the quieter high-volume duos of the week.
  • Value WRs (Horton, Legette, McConkey) make room for balanced builds.

DFS Week 5 Lineups: Gibbs Anchors Builds in Jets–Cowboys and Lions–Bengals Shootouts

DFS Week 5 Lineups: Gibbs Anchors Builds in Jets–Cowboys and Lions–Bengals Shootouts

Several games this week set up for fireworks, with matchups pointing to high fantasy scoring across the slate. Strap in — this could be a wild ride.

DraftKings Lineup

Play Breakdown:
Dak Prescott headlines the DraftKings lineup, paired with Jake Ferguson for the QB–TE stack against the Jets. Garrett Wilson runs it back on the other side, giving this lineup full game correlation in what should be a shootout.

For the first time this year, the lineup doesn’t feature a RB–DST stack — with the Cardinals’ RB situation in shambles, there’s no way to pair them up, though Arizona’s defense still provides salary relief.

Jahmyr Gibbs anchors the RBs, while Saquon Barkley takes the FLEX spot with his locked-in volume and touchdown potential. Woody Marks offers strong value with his growing role in Houston. Wan’Dale Robinson and Nick Westbrook-Ikhine round out the WR core as affordable paths to targets.

FanDuel Lineup

Play Breakdown:
Justin Fields headlines the FanDuel build, bringing rushing upside in the same Jets–Cowboys game we’re already targeting on DraftKings.

Jahmyr Gibbs repeats as the anchor RB, joined by Javonte Williams of Dallas in a high-usage role. Rome Odunze and Garrett Wilson may be absent here, but Marvin Harrison Jr. and Jaxon Smith-Njigba bring plenty of ceiling, while Tetairoa McMillan provides a salary-friendly WR breakout candidate.

Mason Taylor checks in as the budget TE play, Woody Marks repeats in FLEX as a value RB, and Detroit’s defense gets the nod against Cincinnati.

FanDuel vs DraftKings

  • DraftKings: Dak–Ferguson stack with Garrett Wilson as the bring-back, plus Barkley’s high-volume FLEX role.
  • FanDuel: Justin Fields’ rushing ceiling, Gibbs again as the anchor, and Javonte Williams for added RB stability.
  • Overlap: Gibbs, Marks, and game environments (Jets–Cowboys, Lions–Bengals) that point toward high-scoring outcomes.

DFS Angle of the Week

  • Jets–Cowboys looks like a featured shootout — exposure on both QBs and key pass catchers.
  • Lions–Bengals could be the juiciest matchup on the slate, with Gibbs set up for a big game.
  • Woody Marks is the sharp value play at RB, with expanding usage and the ability to unlock bigger spends.
  • No RB–DST stack on DraftKings this week, a first, thanks to Arizona’s chaos at running back.
  • Marvin Harrison Jr. and Jaxon Smith-Njigba headline the WRs with the highest big-play ceilings.
