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 4 Builds: Herbert and Williams Lead Stacks, Skattebo Steps Into Expanded Role

DFS Week 4 Builds: Herbert and Williams Lead Stacks, Skattebo Steps Into Expanded Role

The Week 4 builds lean on strong RB floors, dependable QB play, and wideout stacks designed to chase ceiling games. With value plays opening up and game environments to target, both lineups aim for balance between floor and upside.

DraftKings Lineup

Play Breakdown:
Caleb Williams leads this build, paired with Rome Odunze in a stack that’s becoming a weekly fixture. Odunze has fully established himself as Chicago’s WR1, and by adding Jakobi Meyers on the bring-back, this lineup bets on a high-scoring shootout with both sides contributing. Ricky Pearsall is a steady-value WR with strong usage, and Hunter Henry repeats as a budget-friendly TE who still brings touchdown equity.

In the backfield, James Cook has emerged as one of Buffalo’s most consistent weapons. Cam Skattebo is the value RB: with Tyrone Tracy sidelined, his playing time is up, and with mobile QB Jaxson Dart running the show, the read-option looks should open bigger lanes and boost his efficiency. Kyren Williams adds FLEX stability with a reliable workload. Buffalo’s defense slots in as a premium DST against a turnover-prone Saints offense.

FanDuel Lineup

Play Breakdown:
Justin Herbert headlines the FanDuel lineup, paired with Keenan Allen in a classic QB–WR stack against the Giants. Emeka Egbuka adds ceiling at WR, while Deebo Samuel provides a balanced all-around role. Rome Odunze appears again, this time in FLEX, doubling down on his WR1 role in Chicago.

The RB core matches DraftKings: James Cook is locked in as a high-floor, high-usage back, and Cam Skattebo continues to be the salary-saver who benefits from both Tracy’s absence and Jaxson Dart’s mobility at QB. Hunter Henry is a repeat play at TE, and the Bills defense anchors both builds.

FanDuel vs DraftKings

  • DraftKings: Caleb Williams–Rome Odunze stack with Jakobi Meyers on the bring-back for game correlation.
  • FanDuel: Justin Herbert–Keenan Allen stack carries ceiling, with Odunze again in the build.
  • Overlap: James Cook, Cam Skattebo, Hunter Henry, Rome Odunze, and Bills defense.

DFS Angle of the Week

This week is all about finding the right stacks and leaning on value to unlock stars.

  • Caleb Williams to Rome Odunze, plus Jakobi Meyers, forms a strong game-stack with upside.
  • Justin Herbert to Keenan Allen is one of the cleanest QB–WR stacks on the slate.
  • James Cook is a building block in both lineups, delivering consistency in Buffalo’s backfield.
  • Cam Skattebo is the sharp value: more playing time with Tyrone Tracy out, and a mobile QB in Jaxson Dart makes him more efficient on read-option looks.
  • Rome Odunze keeps appearing across lineups, locked in as Chicago’s WR1.
