If you want to improve at DFS, you need to find the types of contests that allow you to have success and continue to play mainly in those. This enables you not only to have a greater chance of success each week but also to improve in identifying contest specific dynamics and trends.

I am a lower-stakes, small-field tournament player. I do not play cash games, and I do not play large field GPP contests unless I am just tossing in an entry for fun. The contests I am playing in typically have 60 entrants or fewer. These contests are my favorite because you do not need to get as many things right to get near the top of the leaderboard. Finding the right stacks in small fields is a great example of this. Most people do not stack enough in these types of contests and finding the right stacks and leverage points is a great way to vault up to the top of the leaderboard.

Each week I will post my favorite stacks of the week, especially those that are likely to be overlooked in the small-field tournaments. I’ll also provide my results from the prior week and talk about what went right, what went wrong, and most importantly, what we can we learn. 

Last week the Joe Burrow ($6800) double stack came through. This was a low scoring slate overall. As you can see, most of the lineup is pretty chalky. On a slate like this all I needed was Burrow, Tee Higgins ($6900) and George Pickens to have a shot to win in a field this small. This contest had about 43 entries and I actually won by a pretty comfortable margin.

The slate this week should be much different. We have bunch of the elite quarterbacks on the slate, a ton of value at running back, and quite a few mid-priced wide receiver plays to choose from. This is a great week to stack in small field tournaments. My lean on these slates is usually to eat the chalk at RB and find a game to stack.

Let’s get on to the Week 12 stacks!
