When it comes to draft strategy on draft day, everyone has their own style. Everyone is looking for ways to gain the edge over their league mates and try to set themselves up for success in the long run. Stacks could be the number one way to capitalize on your good drafting and reap the benefits in the playoffs. So, here are three of the best stacks in fantasy football (at value)!

Now let’s get to those best stacks in fantasy football!
High Capital Stack:
My favorite high draft capital stack is Josh Allen and Dalton Kincaid. Josh Allen (IDP+ #1 QB, #17 OVR) is going to be the anchor of this stack. As he can get himself points on his feet without throwing to Kincaid. Allen has thrown for 4,000+ yards in his past four seasons and is looking poised to make that a fifth. With the losses of Stefon Diggs and Gabe Davis, Josh Allen has less pressure on his shoulders to get it done. Allen’s high draft stock will be a tough pill to swallow but you should feel comfort in knowing when he is healthy you’re getting the safest performer in Fantasy Football. Although the Bills added weapons in the offseason like Curtis Samuel and Mack Hollins, Dalton Kincaid is my choice of the Bills’ new #1 option.
Dalton Kincaid (IDP+ TE5,) since Week 7 has only finished below TE8 three times. He finished the season as TE11 with only 2 touchdowns on the entire season and 118 yards through his first six weeks. Allen started to trust Kincaid and peppered him with targets throughout the rest of the season. With positive TD progression on the way, less competition for targets and a full year under his belt, Dalton Kincaid is my breakout star for the 2024 season. Stacking Allen with Kincaid is bound to prove amazing dividends especially for those with TEP.
Mid Capital Stack:
For my middle capital stack, I’m all over Deebo Samuel and Brock Purdy. Deebo Samuel (IDP+ WR17, OVR 30) is just a beast with the ball in his hands. I think this is the year the 49ers get over the hump and Deebo will be a huge part of it. As much as he is dynamic, he is who the 49ers go for to score touchdowns. He was #15th in the NFL in redone targets last season. Now, add in the fact that disgruntled Brandon Aiyuk may be on the move, Deebo instantly becomes WR1 and owns a boatload of touches in that offense. His 12 touchdowns last season show he can get in the end zone better than anyone in the league and I think he will have a golden opportunity to do the same this season.
Brock Purdy (IDP+ QB12) is the best part of this stack. He’s super cheap! His fantasy downfall is that he rarely runs, but that reduces the risk of injury as well. You don’t need to run when you have Christian McCaffrey back there with you. He has to throw to his dynamic playmakers and he will. Leading the NFL in Passer Rating (113.0) and QBR (72.8), Purdy is a legit quarterback and can spread the ball with the best of them. With a Super Bowl run leaving a bitter taste in his mouth, his dirt cheap price in fantasy drafts, and his star-studded cast surrounding him, Brock Purdy is on a fast track to another Top 7 QB Finish.
Late Capital Stack:
Lastly, is my late capital stack, in which in standard roster formats only one player is being drafted… Diontae Johnson and Bryce Young are my late-round stack for the 2024 Fantasy Football Season. Diontae Johnson (IDP+ WR31) is going to blow up this season. Joining a new team in Carolina may be the fresh start he needed. Diontae goes into Carolina as the WR1 on a contract year with a growing team. They have improved the offensive line for Bryce Young this season proving they believe in him. Diontae is one of the best route runners in the league. He gets open at a ridiculous rate and now is escaped from the Matt Canada play calling. He has the easiest schedule for a WR in the league, a 2nd year QB looking for a veteran to go to when in trouble and DJ is that guy.
Bryce Young (IDP+ QB25) is literally free in Fantasy Football this season. He will not be drafted. He had a disastrous rookie season, but will now walk into a much better situation for the 2024-25 season. New HC Dave Canales, who was the OC of the surprise playoff Buccaneers, walks into Carolina and is looking to turn this offense into what it was expected to be. Revamping the O-Line, picking up DJ, Xavier Legette, Ja’Tavion Sanders and Jonathon Brooks, Carolina is going all in on Bryce Young. With a solid foundation and a year of experience under his belt, I’m all in on taking a flyer for the former #1 pick and stacking him with an elite WR in Diontae Johnson.
