For the third straight week this NFL season
Fred Warner Jersey , game stacking — playing three or more players from the same game — was an effective way to win daily fantasy tournaments.The logic is
that when a matchup turns into a shootout, there’s a lot of back and forth from
each team, leading to high fantasy point totals for multiple players.The New
Orleans-Atlanta game did just that, finishing in a 43-37 Saints win and going
well over the Vegas game total of 53 points. Matt Ryan (374 pass yards, five
TDs) and rookie wide receiver Calvin Ridley (seven catches, 146 yards, Three
TDs) each put up nearly 40 fantasy points, with Julio Jones being mostly held in
check. Saints running back Alvin Kamara was able to exploit Atlanta’s pass
defense, catching 15 balls and putting up 190 all-purpose yards. Quarterback
Drew Brees joined the party with more than 400 total yards and five TDs, while
Michael Thomas had 10 catches for 129 yards. In total there were more than 250
fantasy points scored in this game alone and more than $2.5 million in payouts
to users who stacked this matchup on FanDuel and DraftKings.Below are a few
stacks to consider for NFL Week 4:San Francisco 49ers at Los Angeles Chargers
(Total: 47, Chargers favored by 10 1/2 points)The Chargers have a team total of
more than 28 points in this home game against a 49ers team that has averaged 29
points against through three games and just lost QB Jimmy Garoppolo for the
season to an ACL tear. Quarterback Philip Rivers will look to exploit the 49ers
secondary, which has given up eight TDs through the air. He can be paired up
with wide receiver Keenan Allen, who leads the team in both red zone targets
(four) and 24.3 percent of the team’s total targets.While there is some risk
that the Chargers pull ahead in this game, leaving Melvin Gordon with a bigger
workload
Solomon Thomas Jersey , if you are playing the passing attack you should also consider targeting 49ers players. With the 49ers expected to be trailing, look
for quarterback CJ Beathard to continue to lean on tight end George Kittle, who
is tied for fourth among all TEs with 20 targets through the first three
games.Houston Texans at Indianapolis Colts (Total: 47, Indianapolis favored by 1
1/2 points)The Colts return home to the fast track on the turf in Indianapolis
after consecutive road games against strong defensive teams in Washington and
Philadelphia. With a game total of 47 and a close spread, Las Vegas bookmakers
expect this to be one of the more tightly contested games that could lead to
many fantasy points from both teams. As a starting point, pair Andrew Luck with
T.Y. Hilton, who has now seen at least 10 targets in three straight weeks and
over his career has better averages playing with Andrew Luck. If Jack Doyle is
out again, Eric Ebron would make for a strong secondary target to pair with Luck
and Hilton.On the Texans side of the ball, both Will Fuller and DeAndre Hopkins
are attractive targets for the game stack and together represent 59 percent of
the targets this season from QB Deshaun Watson. For users who are building
multiple lineups, this game makes for an excellent target with many ways you can
stack. In addition to Luck (with Hilton, Ebron and Fuller or Hopkins) you can
also stack Deshaun Watson with Fuller and Hopkins as well as either Ebron or
Hilton.Regardless of which game you choose to stack this week, it is important
to be aware of the increasing number of daily fantasy sports tournaments that
are being won via stacking. And let the hype train commence. When the 2018
season ended, the San Francisco 49ers came off a five-game winning streak, had a
mountain of salary cap space
Ahkello Witherspoon Jersey , and a young nucleus of players. It all indicated great things were coming. 2018 would be a different team, Kyle
Shanahan would have his vision on the field, the return of the dominating 49ers
we’ve wanted since the 90s.Then injuries happened. Oh, the injuries. The 49ers
aren’t near the media darlings going into the 2019 offseason as they were in
2018 (losing your last two games to go 4-12 can do that to you), but let the
momentum start again. This happened a few days back, but it popped into my
Twitter feed tonight and it’s none other than Will Blackmon picking the 49ers as
his under-the-radar team: And here we go again. Are we going to get as much hype
for the 2019 49ers as we did for 2018? Very doubtful. We’ll see how high the
media/league is on them when the schedules come out later this year and list how
many primetime games the 49ers get. They originally were to get five primetime
games in 2018, but that number was trimmed to three. And those three would have
been crossed out also if the opportunity was available. Sunday Night Football
was the only football to be flexed. Monday night and Thursday night games cannot
be flexed out, so the world was stuck with C.J. Beathard and Nick Mullens three
times in 2018. The good thing is the 49ers offered up an entertaining product in
those games — especially Nick Mullens who had one of the best debuts of any
quarterback in his Thursday Night Football appearance. The 49ers do have some
cash and an offense we never got to see the full potential of due to injuries,
among other things. They very well could be flying in under the radar this year.
They have a lot to prove, and they can start with the division. You know, by not
losing to the Arizona Cardinals. Twice.
