Week 12 is here, and that can only mean one thing. Another millionaire competition from your good friends at DraftKings. Below are my four favorite quarterback/wide receiver stacks for Sunday’s main slate.

4. Patrick Mahomes ($6,800)/ DeAndre Hopkins ($5,400), Chiefs at Panthers
Despite the recent struggles of Hopkins, these two are too cheap for me to pass up this week. DeAndre Hopkins got off to a great start as a Chief, recording 86 yards and two touchdowns in his first game. He has cooled off in the two games since, only totaling 85 yards in both games, but this feels like the weekend where he bounces back.
The Chiefs have a great matchup this weekend, as they head to Carolina to take on the Panthers. Carolina gives up the seventh most FPTS to opposing quarterbacks, and they rank 24th in the league against the pass. Look for Hopkins to see an uptick in targets this week, as the Chiefs offense should be rolling all day on Sunday.
3. Tua Tagovailoa ($5,800)/ Tyreek Hill ($7,200), Patriots at Dolphins
The Tua to Tyreek connection has started to heat up, as Hill has back-to-back touchdowns in the last two weeks. His yards totals are still relatively low for his standards, but it’s only a matter of time before he breaks a long one.
The Dolphins travel to the Patriots this Sunday. New England gives up the ninth most FPTS to opposing receivers and they rank 20th against the pass. This is a great spot for Miami to win their third straight game, and I think these two will be a big part of that. Hill has not had a 100-yard performance since Week 1 and this could be the perfect opportunity for him to remind the league who the Cheetah is.
2. C.J. Stroud ($6,500)/ Nico Collins ($7,600), Titans at Texans
Collins played his first game for over a month in Week 11, catching four passes for 54 yards in the win against Dallas. Things could’ve looked a lot different for his stat line in his return, as he had a 77-yard touchdown chalked off on the very first offensive play of the game for Houston. He looked just as explosive as he did earlier in the season and is a threat to go for 100+ on any given Sunday.
Despite the tough matchup this weekend against the Titans, I think these two will ball out. Collins still leads the league in receiving yards per game (103.5) and is 17th in the league in receiving yards despite only playing six games. You could argue that when healthy, nobody has been better than him this season. As for his quarterback, C.J. Stroud is 5th in the league in passing yards. All these two do is produce big numbers, and look for them to do it again on Sunday.
1. Jared Goff ($6,600)/Amon-Ra St. Brown ($8,300), Lions at Colts
Amon-Ra St. Brown had the breakout performance we’ve all been waiting for in Week 11, finishing with 11 receptions for 161 yards and two touchdowns as the Lions beat the Jaguars 52-6. Jared Goff wasn’t too shabby himself, throwing for over 400 yards and four touchdowns. I wouldn’t expect a return like that from these two on Sunday, but you never know with this Lions offense.
Detroit is elite at moving the ball up and down the field, and I think the Colts will have a tough time stopping them. Indianapolis ranks 19th against opposing receivers and 24th against quarterbacks. They will certainly have their hands full on Sunday, and I expect another big game from this duo.
