Week 7 DFS Picks: Best Game and Team Stacks

Every Sunday in the weekly fantasy chats, I get asked about my favorite plays of the week or who is in my player pool that weekend for DFS.

This article series covers exactly that.

Every week, I will go through the players I am targeting to play in DFS for all games, tournaments, and game stacks.

The idea is that this will paint a clearer picture of framing lineups.

Week 7 DFS Content:

One of my favorite ways to play DFS from a tournament stance is small-field, single-to-five-max entry games with 5K or smaller fields.

Both sites even offer these games with fewer than 100 entries (albeit at a higher cost of entry) if you want to go after a small field.

In these contests, my approach is to go with full-game stacks.

You lose a lot of weeks, but if you get the game right, you gain a big advantage.

Cashing in one of these over an 18-week season can make your entire year.

With the reduced number of entries, you can also eat some chalky game stacks because we are going further in the overall game stack than our opponents likely will.

These are the games I am circling for those tournaments in Week 7, but you can also tie these games into your stacks for other tournaments.

I will analyze the player selections and game writeups, but for a detailed breakdown of the players and games, check out the Week 7 Worksheet.

Seahawks at Falcons

With a 51-point total and a 3-point spread, this game has the surface-level outlook we seek.

Both of these teams play fast as well.

Seattle is second in the league regarding time of possession per play while Atlanta is fourth.

Both offenses are good at creating chunk gains.

23.4% of the Atlanta offensive plays have gained 10 or more yards, which is fourth in the league.

22.8% of the Seattle offensive plays have gained 10 or more yards, which is sixth in the league.

The only component this game does lack is extremely cheap resources, so this game is one to build around at the top.

If building through Seattle, Geno Smith, DK Metcalf, and Kenneth Walker are the primary core pieces.

Kirk Cousins, Bijan Robinson, and Drake London are the standouts on the Atlanta side.

That does not mean you cannot play options such as Darnell Mooney, Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Tyler Lockett, or Kyle Pitts in large builds around this game, but those are the top players on each side I am building around.
