The Top DFS Running Back and Defense Stacks: Week 13
These are the Week 13 running back-defense stacks on FanDuel and DraftKings. I'll pinpoint where we might be able to get a solid defensive performance and volume-driven running production.
The good folks at 4for4 have pointed out that one should not base their weekly DFS lineup composition on the RB-DEF stack, as the correlation isn’t nearly as strong as the QB-WR1 combo, for example. But considering RB1s—and only RB1s—get a decent bump in production when their team’s defense scores at least 15 fantasy points, it’s worthwhile to see where this stack might offer upside and differentiation for those who play large-field DFS tournaments.
Running backs and defenses from the same team often face positive circumstances together. It's these conditions, of course, that lead to fantasy points. Sometimes a lot of fantasy points.
Week 12 summary: Our Browns combo fared quite well, netting 34 points against the lifeless Bengals; the Baltimore stack racked up 32 fantasy points despite a touchdown-less performance from Gus Edwards; and the Colts combo put up 16 points, as Marlon Mack missed the fourth quarter with a concussion.
And now we attempt to double dip on positive game script in Week 13...
