Which of these positions do you think has a stronger correlation in terms of stacking with a QB for #DFS ? 🤔 Now the sample size isn’t huge, but it’s interesting a group of people that play fantasy football (I’m assuming that’s the main target group that follows me) mostly got it wrong. Just to take this a step further, I threw out this question recently on Twitter just to see what the perception was about QB stacking.Building contrarian lineups with this in mind gives you access to more players and combinations for stacks. Obviously, we can’t play two QBs in the same lineup but it tells us if one QB is going off, the other side of the offense is set up for success as well. But it’s the other QB on the other side of the field that has the highest correlation (0.59) among any pairing.

The field likely undervalues these other positions when it comes to stacking.

QB + WR1 is clearly the most closely correlated (0.55) among stacking options but it might surprise you to see how close the WR2 and TE1 are to that number.

Let’s take some of this data and parse out where the field is undervaluing stacking. This is the correlation of fantasy points since 2014 for between every single position per FantasyLabs’ research. If correlation feels like a bit of an ambiguous term, here is a visual for those who like colors. Every WR in the NFL had at least one week outside the top-50 for fantasy. The obvious answer is to find a QB & WR that give you a high floor but remember how volatile WRs can be sometimes. Employing stacks in cash may feel like a risky move but instead, you are betting on some simple correlation between a QB and one of his pass-catchers. Luckily, in cash lineups, you aren’t trying to hit perfection but give yourself the opportunity for some upside.

The pursuit of the perfect lineup can be an illusion. I’ll discuss what that looks like and how stacking increases the range of your outcomes. If you aren’t thinking through your selections each week with correlation in mind, you’re already behind the eight-ball. Stacking in DFS comes down to correlation and betting on a combined ceiling. The biggest difference between stacking in DFS versus Bestball is the realization this is a weekly game with salaries and roster percentages that move our selections. After highlighting BestBall stacking practices in June, Betz and I discussed the DFS stacking on a recent Fantasy Footballers DFS episode. The chances are you either googled for DFS stacking or you’re looking for a way to stack like a boss in 2021.
