Alright, let’s talk about hitting big in DFS, because last week’s picks absolutely smashed. Every single suggested stack hit at least double their combined salary, with Stafford and Nacua even crushing 4x! Seriously, we’re setting the bar high to repeat that kind of accuracy for Week 6. And yeah, I’m still trying to shake off that Broncos OT loss to our Seahawks, but the league doesn’t stop. So, let’s dive into who’s about to blow up.
Jordan Love and Matthew Golden: The Unstoppable Air Attack
First up, we’ve got the Green Bay connection with Jordan Love and Matthew Golden. Why? Because the Dallas Cowboys’ defense is absolute garbage against the pass, ranking as the worst team in the NFL in Defensive Pass EPA per Play Allowed. They’re also 27th in Fantasy Points Allowed to Quarterbacks and 25th to Wide Receivers. Talk about a matchup made in heaven!
The Packers are slinging the ball more than anyone else in the league, passing on 66.3% of their plays. While Christian Watson is an option, Golden is the real sleeper here. He’s expected to have way lower ownership with the same massive upside. Golden’s actually averaging 1.0 more targets per game than Watson and already has one more total red zone target this season. And get this: both guys are clearing 16.0 yards per reception. That’s serious deep-play potential, and Golden is primed to feast.
Stafford and Nacua: The Heater That Never Quits
You thought the Stafford-Nacua connection was just a flash in the pan? Think again. Puka Nacua just got targeted an insane 24 times in Week 6! That’s a 45% target share of Matthew Stafford’s 53 passing attempts, and it’s 16 more than Kyren Williams and 17 more than Davante Adams. Clearly, Nacua is healthy and rolling, catching 17 of those targets for 138 yards and a touchdown.
You gotta strike while the iron’s hot, even though this duo seems to run at a permanent inferno. The Arizona Cardinals are a pathetic 31st in Defensive Pass EPA Allowed per Play, 31st in Fantasy Points Allowed to Wide Receivers, and 30th to Quarterbacks. This is an absolute smash spot for Stafford and Nacua to go off again. Don’t overthink it.
The Other Must-Plays: Bowers and Likely Are Ready To Explode
Don’t sleep on these next two stacks. Kirk Cousins and Brock Bowers are another duo with huge upside. The Buffalo Bills might be “Super Bowl Contenders,” but through five games, their pass defense is leaky. They rank 28th in Defensive Pass EPA Allowed per Play and 29th in Fantasy Points Allowed to Quarterbacks. They’re 15th against Tight Ends, which means Bowers is in a prime spot. The Raiders, despite finishing as the “Worst Team in the NFL 2026,” have surprised everyone with three wins this season and are top-10 in Passing EPA, largely thanks to Bowers. He’s averaging 10.7 targets, 8.0 receptions, 104 yards, and a touchdown per game! In his three games, he’s had five red-zone targets and snagged three touchdowns. Lock him in.
Finally, we’ve got Jameis Winston and Isaiah Likely. The Giants have gone up against some soft passing defenses recently, the Cardinals and Commanders, and Winston delivered with three touchdowns each game, racking up 876 passing yards. This Sunday, the Saints are up, and their defense is 26th in Defensive Pass EPA Allowed per Play, 18th in Fantasy Points Allowed to Quarterbacks, and 22nd to Tight Ends. The Giants have been leaning hard on Likely and Malik Nabers. While both are good, Likely has a slight edge in this matchup against the Saints, who are top-15 against Wide Receivers. Likely is averaging 9.4 targets, 6.6 receptions, 56.8 yards, and 0.8 touchdowns per game. He’s had 12+ targets in each of his last two games and only one game with fewer than 8 targets. Plus, he’s got 8 red zone looks, showing his scoring potential.
Can these Week 6 stacks live up to last week’s monster performance? We’re betting on it. Get ready to watch these guys light up the scoreboard and your DFS lineups!
