Daily Fantasy Football Week 7: Top stacks and value plays to target - Yahoo Sports

Yahoo Fantasy Football Podcast.

These concepts include stacking, finding pivots off of popular players, and targeting players that won’t be on many rosters.

While it’s important to implement these into your lineup-building approach, the foundation of any tournament lineup is a solid core — usually players that you would use in cash games.

Don’t expect either passing game to go overlooked in this contest that features an over/under of 56 and a spread of just -3 in favor of the Seahawks.

Kyler Murray is in an especially good spot to show his passing ceiling, which is why the Cardinals double stack is enticing.

Running a Cardinals stack back with Chris Carson ($26) instead of a Seahawks pass-catcher can be an uncommon approach to stacking this game, as well.

With the highest game total of the week (57) and a spread of just -3 favoring the Packers, this could be the most popular game to stack this week, but there are ways to differentiate a lineup.

Unlike many quarterback-running back teammates, Aaron and Aaron should have some positive correlation as Jones is heavily involved in the passing game, tied for fourth in the league across all positions with five targets inside the 10.

Will Fuller is actually second on Houston in targets, behind Brandin Cooks, but Fuller averages just under 100 air yards per game compared to 74 for Cooks.

The Panthers funnel fantasy points to running backs more than any other defense, ranked first in 4for4’s schedule-adjusted fantasy points allowed to quarterbacks and wide receivers but 31st against running backs.

With the Saints’ 29.25 implied point total, Alvin Kamara should be one of the most popular backs of the week, despite his exorbitant salary.

Kamara already leads all running backs in target share (26.2%) and his target rate doubles against zone coverage, which the Panthers play at the highest rate of any defense, according to SportsInfoSolutions?

No defense has surrendered more catches to running backs than Carolina.

DJ Moore is one of six players who have seen at least 40% of his team’s air yards and he is coming off of a game where he saw 40% of his team’s targets, pushing his season share above 24%.

Buffalo is favored by 13.5 against a Jets defense that ranks 27th in fantasy points allowed to running backs after adjusting for strength of schedule.

Chark may get the squeaky wheel treatment after bemoaning the Jaguars passing offense following Sunday’s loss to Detroit, although there’s only so much grease to give — the Jaguars receiver saw 14 targets in Week 6.

This game will be one of the more popular games of the week to stack but Hurst will be overshadowed by Atlanta’s primary receivers, Julio Jones and Calvin Ridley, as well as Kenny Golladay and T.J.

With so many players who should see a double-digit rostered rate, Hurst provides massive leverage in game-stacks or as a one-off play.

The backbone of my cash game approach is 4for4’s proprietary value metric, which goes beyond simple point per dollar projections.

That value calculation extends to a player’s odds of hitting cash game value based on their implied volatility according to their floor, median, and ceiling projections.

Salaries aren’t as wide open as they have been in recent weeks so cash game players may have to make sacrifices that they may not be used to making.
