For Week 7, we have a $2.5 million fantasy contest on DraftKings, with first place set to win a million dollars. There are ten games to choose from on Sunday’s main slate, so there are plenty of options to make a great lineup. A QB/WR stack can often make or break your week, but when they play well and connect for some scores, that could possibly set your lineup apart from the rest. Below are my four favorite QB/WR duos for Sunday.

4. Daniel Jones ($5,400)/ Malik Nabers ($7,500), Philadelphia Eagles at New York Giants
This all hinges on whether Nabers will suit up this Sunday, but the early indications are that he very well could be. If so, these two are a great duo for a cheap price. Despite missing his last two games, Nabers is still ranked 14th in the league in receiving yards and 9th in targets. When healthy and available, he sees more volume than just about anyone in the game and makes good use of it too.
Jones and Nabers connected for three touchdowns in their four games together, with Malik averaging 96.5 yards per game. If Jones and Nabers can connect for another 100-yard game and a score on Sunday, it could be crucial for fantasy lineups. The matchup is a good one for these two, as New York will face the Eagles who give up the 7th most fantasy points to opposing receivers.
3. Jalen Hurts ($7,300)/ A.J. Brown ($8,000), Philadelphia Eagles at New York Giants
A.J. Brown has been a beast this season when healthy. Health has been the story of his season so far, but hopefully, that is all behind us. Brown has played in two of five games this season, in Week 1, and then last week in the win over the Browns. In both games he dominated, going over 100 receiving yards in each. In fact, no receiver has more yards per game this season, with Brown averaging 117.5. He also caught a touchdown in each of his two appearances, a DFS player’s dream.
If Brown can continue to perform like that, he will be a huge asset for fantasy players this week. If Hurts and Brown can connect for six once again, it could put your lineup over the top. The matchup isn’t the best, with the Giants ranking 19th against quarterbacks and 13th against receivers, but that is definitely not good enough to scare me out of backing this duo. Hurts and Brown are unstoppable on their day, and hopefully that day is this Sunday.
2. Joe Burrow ($6,800)/ Ja’Marr Chase ($8,400), Cincinnati Bengals at Cleveland Browns
Once again I have this duo in my stacks article this week, and for good reason. These two have been on a tear recently, after starting the first two weeks of the season slower than usual. In the four games since, they have connected for five touchdowns and Chase is averaging 117 yards per game. Chase has been playing so well lately that he has climbed to second in the league in receiving yards, and is poised to soon take first place with Nico Collins still injured.
The Bengals take on the Browns this week, who have a solid defense but they are giving up the 11th most fantasy points to opposing defenses and they rank 19th in the league in scoring defense.
1. Sam Darnold ($6,200)/Justin Jefferson ($8,500), Detroit Lions at Minnesota Vikings
My favorite duo for this week’s slate is Sam Darnold and Justin Jefferson. These two check all the boxes for what we could possibly want in an elite QB/WR stack. They have the production, they have the volume, and they have the matchup. In terms of production, Darnold is currently fourth in passing touchdowns, while Jefferson is sixth in receiving yards and tied for sixth in touchdowns. He is also in the top 20 in targets, despite having played one less game after coming off a bye week.
For the matchup, the Lions give up the fourth most fantasy points to opposing receivers and are ranked 27th in the league against the pass. These two are primed for a big game, and they have already connected for four touchdowns in five games. I wouldn’t be shocked if they connected for at least one more this Sunday.
