Stacking: The Key to Success in DFS Tournaments

Successful lineup building in daily fantasy sports (DFS) relies on player selection and strategic correlation. Opting for lesser-known players under 5% rostered may seem appealing, but it's crucial to recognize that popular players have their projections based on sound reasoning and game dynamics. The emphasis should be on the importance of stacking players effectively, particularly in tournaments, as it significantly enhances the probability of achieving high scores. Historical data shows that 95% of top-performing lineups in major tournaments, like the MilliMaker, incorporate stacks involving quarterbacks and their primary pass catchers. This approach underscores the importance of strong projections and a well-defined strategy to navigate the inherent volatility of DFS.
