Stacking quarterbacks and wide receivers optimizes Fantasy scores as correlation between the two positions mutually benefits the quarterback and wide receiver.

Fantasy managers should consider these three QB-WR stacks on draft day.
Joe Burrow & Ja’Marr Chase
Burrow (QB 2, 54 ADP) and Chase (WR 1, 3 ADP) have the chance to be the top QB/WR stack thanks to being in a wide-open AFC North with three new faces at head coach.
The Cincinnati Bengals are the only AFC North team with no foundational changes, giving Burrow and Chase another year to build upon their connection.
With three new coaches never game planning against the duo, Burrow and Chase have the opportunity to catch the newest members of the AFC North by surprise.
Along with being the only stable team in the AFC North, the Bengals have one of the easiest schedules in the NFL, giving Burrow and Chase easier matchups to feast on throughout the season.
Fantasy managers have seen what Burrow and Chase can do in the grueling AFC North of the past, but they could see their best season together in a wide-open AFC North and easy schedule.

Dak Prescott & CeeDee Lamb
Prescott (QB 10, 83 ADP) and Lamb (WR 5, 11 ADP) have a long history of being one of the top Fantasy stacks since the pair played together starting in 2020.
The duo peaked in 2023 where Lamb finished as WR 1 and Prescott as QB 3.
Fantasy managers won’t see that type of finish in this upcoming season, but this stack offers a safe one for Fantasy managers to consider.
Prescott added another top-five Fantasy QB season last year and Lamb produced another 1,000 receiving yards campaign, despite missing three games.
The Prescott-Lamb stack can’t realize its full potential as George Pickens is another strong Fantasy receiver on the opposite side of Lamb.
Even with Pickens around, the Prescott-Lamb stack is a safe stack for Fantasy managers to consider on draft day.

Fantasy managers could pivot to a Prescott and Pickens stack if they are out of Lamb flies off the board before they can make a selection.

Kyler Murray & Justin Jefferson
Murray (QB 19, 199 ADP) and Jefferson (WR 6, 12 ADP) are available at discount ADPs after last season didn’t pan out for the duo.
The new partnership between the pair gives a mutual benefit to the quarterback and wide receiver, which could lead to one of the better QB/WR stacks of the season.
Murray gets out of an unstable situation in Arizona after numerous head coaching changes. Jefferson had unstable quarterback play that limited his Fantasy production as the Vikings rotated through J.J McCarthy, Carson Wentz and Max Brosmer last season.
With Murray recently winning the starting job, Jefferson now has stability at QB, something he hasn’t had since Sam Darnold.
The consistency at QB will allow Jefferson to return to his upper-echelon Fantasy wide receiver status, like the two-time All-Pro did in the 2024 season.
Now wearing the purple and gold, Murray has a multitude of weapons around him to rebound in Fantasy, with the 2022 Offensive Player of the Year Jefferson as the clear standout.
With Murray and Jefferson at a dip in their ADP, the duo is a stack to consider and allows Fantasy managers to load up on other playmakers along the way.
