DraftKings is offering yet another chance to win a million dollars in Week 14. With only four of the top 10 fantasy receivers in action for Sunday’s main slate, it’s never been more crucial to pick a great QB/WR stack. I had to get creative this week, and below are my four favorite stacks for this Sunday’s contest.

4. Drew Lock ($4,700)/ Malik Nabers ($6,900), Saints at Giants
Drew Lock is getting the starting nod again in Week 14 after coming off a 14.8 FPTS performance last week. Lock is worth a look in fantasy lineups because of his rushing ability, running four times for 57 yards and a touchdown in the Thanksgiving loss to Dallas. Lock didn’t have his best game through the air, but he showed plenty of intent on who he wants to get the ball.
Malik Nabers was targeted 13 times in that game, grabbing eight of those for 69 yards. If these two can get even more on the same page in their second game starting together, it could be a big day against a Saints secondary that ranks 29th against the pass. New Orleans has had a tough time stopping opposing receivers, and they allow the eighth most FPTS to that position.
3. Kirk Cousins ($5,500)/ Drake London ($6,400), Falcons at Vikings
Despite the brutal performance last week, I expect Cousins and this Falcons offense to get back on track with a great matchup this weekend. Cousins was seeing ghosts against the Chargers, throwing four interceptions and no touchdowns in Week 13. However, he has a much easier opposition this week and I think he’s a reliable pick to have a decent day. Cousins has never been much of a fantasy threat (hence his price tag), but I wouldn’t be shocked if he threw for some touchdowns this week to make himself relevant.
As for Drake London, he still recorded nine catches for 86 yards last week. He has been reliable all season long and ranks ninth among all receivers in FPTS. London has an elite matchup on Sunday, as no team gives up more FPTS to opposing receivers than Minnesota. London is the 11th highest-priced receiver on this slate and is great value for this price tag.
2. Jalen Hurts ($7,800)/ A.J. Brown ($8,100), Panthers at Eagles
These two were certainly in the running for top spot this week, but due to the possibility of a blowout against much inferior opposition, I decided to slide them in here in second place. Hurts should have a massive game on Sunday, as he ranks fourth among all quarterbacks in FPTS scoring and Carolina ranks 27th against opposing signal callers. His top wideout, A.J. Brown, has also been a top 10 player in FPTS at his position when healthy, as his 17.7 FPTS per game is the seventh-best mark among all wideouts.
Carolina has been much better against opposing receivers, ranking 15th in that category, but that is still not close to good enough to scare me away in this spot. I expect the Eagles to win this one big and with all the focus on MVP hopeful Saquon Barkley in the backfield, that could open things up for these two to put up video game numbers on Sunday.
1. Sam Darnold ($6,100)/Justin Jefferson ($7,800), Falcons at Vikings
Darnold and Jefferson take top spot in this week’s article because of an elite matchup. The Falcons rank 26th in the league against both opposing receivers and quarterbacks, making this the perfect storm for a big game. Darnold has quietly been pretty good in FPTS scoring this season, as he has the eighth most fantasy points in his position. Four of the seven quarterbacks with more FPTS than Darnold are not available this weekend, sliding Darnold way up the pecking order.
It’s no shocker that Jefferson has been successful in fantasy scoring as well, ranking fourth among all receivers. The top three receivers are all not available for this slate, making Jefferson the best available. These two have the production and matchup to make them my favorite stack for this weekend’s main slate.
