DFS Stacks: NFL 2021 Week 7 Games to Target

Last week, we wrote about the difficulty in finding games to target when the slate is smaller-than-average. This week, we lose another game off the list and are approaching the shortest schedule to date. The good news? We were able to identify better setups this week than last.

A Note from Mario: A perfect week! 4-0 in these picks last week, and that follows back-to-back 3-1 weeks after a slow start in the early going. I will continue to provide them as I see fit, but please do your research and play responsibly.

In the world of daily fantasy roster construction, ‘stacking’ players from the same team can often lead to big results. In this column of games to target in Week 7, Luke and Mario will give their thoughts on a few games that are worth watching for fantasy purposes, and whether they like the value or feel the game is getting too much attention. 

Luke’s Top Games to Watch

Kansas City Chiefs at Tennessee Titans

The Kansas City Chiefs are a DFS dream come true. Week in and week out you can count on them to provide a high octane offense while also allowing opposing teams to score at will. The Chiefs offense has produced 24 or more points in all but one game — in which they still scored 20 points. Their defense has also managed to allow 29 or more points in all but one game, and that one game was more a product of Washington struggling than improvement by the Chiefs. The face off this week with one of the league’s other DFS darlings in the Tennessee Titans. The Titans have looked like they are struggling at times this season, but Derrick Henry is on a historic run right now, and that allows this entire offense to thrive. In a matchup against this Chiefs defense, Henry should be in line for yet another huge game. It will be somewhat of the obvious route, and it will be expensive, but a game stack from this game is a great way to set yourself up for as close to guaranteed points as we can get right off the bat.
