Week 11 GPP Stacks

Stacks are correlation plays that are ideal in tournaments because they help your lineup differentiate from the crowd while simultaneously putting more upside in your lineup’s range of outcomes. Unique stacks should always be in consideration and here are some of my favorites this week:

Tom Brady and Brandin Cooks

DraftKings: $14,000 – 28% of total salary
FanDuel: $16,300 – 27.2% of total salary

As I noted in the Week 11 tournament article, Cooks is an ideal tournament player. He’s not an integral part of the Patriots offense on a week-to-week basis which makes your competition forget about him. But in the weeks where he does hit, he usually hits big playing with Tom Brady on a Patriots team that has scored the fourth most points in the league so far this season. And this strikes me as one of those hit it big weeks for Cooks. The current Over/Under in this game continues to rise as it has now hit 54. And Cooks gets a matchup against a Raiders defense that ranks DEAD LAST in pass DVOA and that has allowed the 11th most passing yards per game. Even better, it looks like Chris Hogan is going to miss another game and Cooks saw 11 targets and a 29.73% team target share last week in a bad matchup without Hogan in the lineup.
