Stacking is one of the most efficient ways to separate yourself from the field in FanDrill tournaments.
When an offense has a big day, your team benefits. When a quarterback throws for 300 yards and three touchdowns, there’s a large chance at least one of his pass catchers is putting up tournament-winning numbers right alongside him.
That’s why stacks matter: we are looking to build lineups with the highest ceiling to help you win a FanDrill tournament.
This week, we are identifying the highest-upside game environments on the Week 4 slate and the best stacks to pair with those matchups.

#1 Trevor Lawrence (QB – JAX) & Parker Washington (WR – JAX)
We just saw Trevor Lawrence and Parker Washington manhandle the New England Patriots on Sunday. These two have an elite connection dating back to their bye week in 2025, and it isn’t stopping anytime soon.
This game against the Cincinnati Bengals is going to be a shootout. I can see 60 points being scored in this game. The Bengals’ defense has improved, and they’ve only allowed the 17th-most fantasy points to quarterbacks so far, but I am not buying it. They have not played one good offense yet, and Baker Mayfield turned the ball over three times.
They finally are as they are going against a Jaguars passing attack that has Trevor Lawrence eighth in EPA per play (+0.22) and fourth in completion percentage over expected (+7.1%). He has been playing at an MVP level to start the 2026 NFL season, and I expect it to continue. Despite not allowing a ton of scoring to opposing quarterbacks, the Bengals’ defense has allowed 260 passing yards per game, good for 28th in the league. The touchdowns against them have not come yet because they have played Baker Mayfield, C.J. Stroud, and Aaron Rodgers. We also just saw what old man Rodgers did to them, carving them up for three touchdowns. Trevor Lawrence is a top-10 quarterback right now, and he should continue his success against this “overrated” defense.
Parker Washington has also been dominant. He is eighth in yards per route run (3.0) and fourth in PFF receiving grade (90.5), with 221 yards and two touchdowns on the season. His usage is also incredible. Trevor Lawrence is known to target slot receivers. Parker has run 35 of his 73 routes on the season from the slot, and he also has been in motion a lot, running 15 routes after going in motion. In 2026, this is the type of usage you want out of your main wide receiver. Get him in motion or out of the slot to get free releases and be able to take advantage of mismatches against linebackers or smaller defensive backs. The Cincinnati Bengals’ main slot defender is cornerback Jalen Davis. Davis will be on Parker most of the time, and he has allowed an NFL passer rating of 126.4, which ranks 86th out of 104 cornerbacks. These two are going to have a field day on Sunday.
#2 Geno Smith (QB – NYJ) & Garrett Wilson (WR – NYJ)
The New York Jets have actually been playing good offensive football to start the 2026 season. The entire offense only has one turnover, the game-losing fumble by Geno Smith in Week 3, and they are averaging the 13th-most yards per game (329.0).
It is clear that the Raiders were just a dysfunctional organization last year, leading to Geno Smith looking as bad as he did. With the Jets, Geno is 11th in EPA per dropback (+0.13), first in completion percentage over expected (+12.9%), and 10th in PFF passing grade (78.3). It’s safe to say he was written off once again, but he still did not write back.
Geno is a quarterback who can take advantage of bad defenses. While the Bears’ passing defense looks solid on paper, only allowing 18 PPG to quarterbacks, this is including a bad-weather game against Carson Wentz and the Minnesota Vikings. If we remove that game, they are allowing 22 PPG, which is tied for the eighth-most in the NFL. I will admit that is cherry-picking, but the point stands. I do not believe that this passing defense is as good as the numbers say they are as I watch them on film. There are times when their defensive backs find themselves out of position to make a play far more often than not. Jaylon Johnson is not the same player he once was, and they only have one defensive back in the top 50 of PFF pass coverage grade (out of 198 qualifying defenders). I think Geno is in a great spot to have another good game.
Garrett Wilson is one of the most talented wide receivers in the league. He currently is the WR7 on the season, and that is not for no reason. Geno Smith has been targeting him every chance he gets, as he averages nine targets per game (tied for eighth-most). He also has been one of the most efficient receivers in the NFL. Through three games, he is fourth in catch rate over expected (+23.6%) and 11th in total receiving EPA (+13.9%).
I think this will be another shootout for the Bears and Jets. Neither defense inspires me in this game, and even if Case Keenum plays, the Jets will be playing from behind. I expect both Geno and Garrett to finish above their projections in Week 4, in a game that will somehow be fun to watch.
>> Worried about injuries if you draft early? Don’t sweat it; you have two post-draft edits for each lineup
I cannot in good faith suggest any more than two stacks to attack this week. Most good matchups are not during the main Sunday slate. The Colts and Commanders, as well as the Panthers and Lions, would have been games to target. However, the Colts and Commanders play an international game at 9:30 AM EST, and the Panthers and Lions play on Sunday Night Football.
