The 2024 season has flown by, and there are only three weeks of regular season action left before the playoffs commence. DraftKings is offering another millionaire contest in Week 16, and below are some of my favorite QB/WR stacks to set your lineup apart from the rest.

4. Jalen Hurts ($7,800)/ A.J. Brown ($7,800), Eagles at Commanders
This should be one of the best games this weekend, as Jalen Hurts and the Eagles look for their 11th consecutive win. There were rumors of a rift between Hurts and Brown last week, but it did not show up on the field against the Steelers as Brown recorded eight catches for 110 yards and a touchdown. No matter what is going on off the field, these two looked as dialed in as ever on Sunday.
Despite only playing 11 games so far this season, Brown has still been elite and is currently ninth in the NFL in receiving yards. He is fifth among receivers in yards per game with 86. As for his QB, Hurts ranks fourth among quarterbacks in FPTS. These two must be in consideration for your lineups on Sunday.
3. Aaron Rodgers ($5,600)/ Davante Adams ($7,100), Rams at Jets
How can you not have these two in your lineups after their second-half performance in Week 15? Going into halftime against the Jaguars, Adams had yet to record a catch. He finished the game with nine catches for 198 yards and two touchdowns.
I’m not exactly sure what was said at halftime, but I hope it can transfer over to Week 16. The Rams rank 25th against opposing QBs and 21st against receivers, so this should be an opportunity for these two to pick up where they left off in the win vs. Jacksonville.
2. Sam Darnold ($6,500)/ Justin Jefferson ($8,200), Vikings at Seahawks
Justin Jefferson has kicked it up a notch in the last three weeks, averaging 101.3 yards per game and hauling in three touchdowns over that period. The same could be said for his quarterback, as Darnold has averaged 21.8 FPTS over his last three starts and is now eighth among all signal-callers in FPTS. The Darnold to Jefferson connection is starting to heat up at just the right time.
The Seahawks are an average matchup for these two, as Seattle ranks 11th against QBs and 17th against receivers. The Vikings are very much still in play for the division, so it’s hard for me to imagine them not showing up and playing good football on Sunday.
1. Joe Burrow ($7,500)/ Ja’Marr Chase ($8,500), Browns at Bengals
There was no hesitation in this spot, as Burrow and Chase are the clear best stack of Sunday’s main slate. Burrow ranks third among QBs in terms of FPTS, while Chase is a full 71.3 FPTS ahead of the second-closest receiver. The Browns’ defense is a strange matchup, as they are decent against quarterbacks (eighth) but lousy against receivers (25th). Despite a fairly difficult matchup for Burrow, I still think these two have the ability to dominate once again.
The game is in Cincinnati against a divisional rival, so even though they are not fighting for postseason implications, there is still a lot on the line to give the home fans a show. Chase has at least 75 receiving yards in each of his last five games, and I expect that to be his floor for Sunday’s matchup. The ceiling? For that, we are just going to have to wait and see.
