NFL DFS Lineup Advice: Best Stacks (Week 14)

There are only five weeks left in the 2025 NFL regular season. We’re going to see a lot of high-stakes matchups in Week 14 with playoff implications.

Thursday Night Football kicked off Week 14 with a big NFC clash between the Dallas Cowboys and Detroit Lions. Lions RB Jahmyr Gibbs recorded three touchdowns to end Detroit’s two-game losing skid, cooling off the Cowboys’ offense.

Other notable games we’ll be targeting for the best stacks in DFS tournaments and contests on Sunday’s Week 14 slate include Seattle vs. Atlanta, Washington vs. Minnesota, and Cincinnati vs. Buffalo. There’s also Indianapolis vs. Jacksonville, Chicago vs. Green Bay, and Pittsburgh vs. Baltimore in three huge divisional showdowns.

I’ve found my favorite NFL DFS stacks to construct before Sunday’s games get underway. Follow me on X at Matt_MacKay_ for more NFL analysis and free picks.

NFL DFS Week 14: Best DFS Stacks

DraftKings Salary: $50,000 | FanDuel Salary: $60,000

Seattle Seahawks vs. Atlanta Falcons

Seattle travels to Mercedes-Benz Stadium to take on the downtrodden Atlanta Falcons. The Seahawks are currently in the midst of an NFC West divisional title with the Rams and 49ers, so expect QB Sam Darnold and the league’s fourth-ranked scoring offense to thrive in a dome environment.

Darnold has cooled off a bit in the last few games, so we’re landing the Seahawks’ QB1 at a discounted rate. Instead of paying up to acquire star wideout Jaxon Smith-Njigba, we’ll stack Darnold with Zach Charbonnet and AJ Barner.

Charbonnet is the Seahawks’ primary touchdown scorer in the red zone, while Barner has garnered between four to 11 targets in three of his past four starts. Charbonnet has scored three rushing touchdowns since Week 10 and Barner has double-digit production in two of five starts since Week 9.

Kirk Cousins will have a tough matchup against Seattle’s stout pass defense. One position that the Seahawks don’t defend will this season has been tight end, which sets up a potentially big outing for Falcons’ TE1 Kyle Pitts.

Pitts has 13 targets across his last two games. He’s turned those opportunities into 19.7 total fantasy points, including a 7-82 stat line on eight targets against the Jets in Week 13.

Washington Commanders vs. Minnesota Vikings

Washington and Minnesota have regressed in 2025 after both posting winning records in 2024. The Commanders have dealt with a lot of injuries to skilled players, including QB1 Jayden Daniels, who is set to return to the lineup following a multi-week absence due to an elbow injury.

Daniels typically gets seven to 10 carries dialed up in Kliff Kingsbury’s scheme, which opens up the rest of the Commanders’ rushing attack. Chris Rodriguez has wound up being Washington’s RB1, so he’ll get double-digit touches against a Vikings run defense allowing 4.0 YPC and 11 rushing touchdowns, which are favorable metrics for Rodriguez. He’s logged between 7.6 and 12.5 fantasy points in FanDuel DFS contests in four consecutive starts.

Zach Ertz is a veteran pass-catcher who is a reliable target in the middle of the field for Daniels to locate. Ertz has nine starts with double-digit fantasy production in 2025.

Minnesota’s experiment with QB J.J. McCarthy has gone sideways thus far. He’s recorded a couple of impressive wins against the Bears and Lions, although his passing production has been stale. McCarthy draws a plus-matchup against Washington’s bottom-five pass defense, so we’re going to stack him with Vikings star wideout, Justin Jefferson, at a discounted salary.

Cincinnati Bengals vs. Buffalo Bills

An exciting AFC rivalry between the Bengals and Bills is set for kickoff from Highmark Stadium on Sunday. Star quarterbacks Joe Burrow and Josh Allen will meet again, with plenty of playoff implications at stake.

This is a great matchup for DFS stacking due to each defense playing poorly in 2025. Buffalo and Cincinnati have been struggling to stop the run, which means we’re going to pay up for James Cook and Josh Allen.

Cook has gone over 20 fantasy points in three straight starts, while Allen’s dual-threat ability creates a high-floor in fantasy lineups. Cook also has seen an uptick in targets, logging three receptions in four straight games.

Khalil Shakir is Buffalo’s WR1, bouncing between double-digit production and under two fantasy points, fluctuating based on game script and the Bills’ ability to establish the run. It’s why he’s priced at a decent salary, so let’s plug him in for a three-way stack with Allen and Cook.

Finally, we’ll stack Joe Burrow with Bengals WR2 Tee Higgins. Higgins was out of the lineup during Burrow’s return on Thanksgiving, but we know their rapport is strong. Factor in Ja’Marr Chase and the coverage he demands, and it becomes very appealing to stack Higgins with Burrow.

Higgins has five double-digit outings in 2025 but he hasn’t played with Burrow since Week 2. Buffalo has a solid pass defense, although a porous run defense means the Bengals will be able to hit some effective play action pass attempts downfield, with Higgins potentially finding the end zone and racking up big yardage as a result.
