DraftKings NFL DFS Cheat Sheet: Week 2 Picks and Stacks
By Sam Smith
September 20, 2026
The free DraftKings NFL DFS cheat sheet from Stokastic.com for the 13-game Week 2 main slate on Sunday, Sept. 20, is about who is missing: three of its five leverage plays sit beside a teammate our projections have at zero. The top stack's quarterback misses the projection panel, and his receiver tops the leverage panel.
The Quick Answer
Play Bijan Robinson through his 45.4% projected ownership: he sits in 74.7% of the top-150 Sims lineups. Add Aaron Jones Sr., Quentin Johnston and Dalton Schultz. Underweight Derrick Henry (24.8% owned) and CeeDee Lamb (19.4%): top five in ownership, top five in nothing else. Stack Justin Herbert in a $39,500 core.
The Week 2 Board
| Panel | 1st | 2nd | 3rd | 4th | 5th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Top Projections (Proj FP) | Bijan Robinson 24.9 | Christian McCaffrey 22.6 | Lamar Jackson 21.0 | Dak Prescott 20.7 | Brock Purdy 20.6 |
| Highest Ownership (Own%) | Bijan Robinson 45.4% | Christian McCaffrey 30.7% | Derrick Henry 24.8% | Javonte Williams 20.7% | CeeDee Lamb 19.4% |
| Top Values (Value) | Dalton Schultz 3.5 | Carson Wentz 3.4 | Brock Purdy 3.3 | Tyler Shough 3.3 | Bryce Young 3.3 |
| Top Exposures (Exp%) | Bijan Robinson 74.7% | Aaron Jones Sr. 51.3% | Quentin Johnston 45.3% | Christian McCaffrey 41.3% | Dalton Schultz 38.7% |
| Leverage Plays (Lev%) | Quentin Johnston 32.4% | Aaron Jones Sr. 31.7% | Bijan Robinson 28.6% | Dalton Schultz 20.3% | Javonte Williams 17.3% |
| Top QB+2 Stacks (Stack%) | Justin Herbert 10.0% | Bryce Young 9.3% | Dak Prescott 8.0% | Jordan Love 5.3% | Joe Burrow 4.7% |
The Stokastic Sims play the slate tens of thousands of times against a modeled ownership distribution and rank lineups by simulated ROI. Bijan is the most-owned player, and the Sims still want more: his 74.7% top-150 exposure sits well above the field's 45.4%, and the leverage panel ranks him third at 28.6%.
Who To Play And Who To Fade
Our projections have Ladd McConkey ($6,200), Jordan Mason ($5,200) and Nico Collins ($7,000) at zero. Collins is out and Mason is on injured reserve; McConkey was questionable Sunday morning, and if he plays, the Johnston rows change, so recheck after inactives. The leverage panel points at their teammates: Johnston ($5,000, first at 32.4%), Jones ($5,100, 51.3% top-150 exposure) and Schultz ($3,200). Schultz is the value row I act on: DraftKings is full PPR, so a tight end's catches count in full, the other four value rows are quarterbacks, and he alone makes the exposure (38.7%) and leverage (20.3%) panels.
One week in, every projection's range is wider than it will be in November. A median flattens it to one number; the exposure and leverage panels use all of it, so I start there. Lamar Jackson, third in projection at 21.0, appears nowhere else, and Henry and Lamb appear only under ownership.
Worked Example: Herbert Stack, McCaffrey FLEX
Herbert ($6,000) leads the QB+2 stack panel at 10.0%. With McConkey at zero, Johnston is my first piece, and DraftKings' 3-point bonuses at 300 passing and 100 receiving yards pay both on the same plays, a ceiling no projection row shows. My second receiver: Tre' Harris ($4,000, 10.3 projected points).
Add Bijan ($8,200), Jones, Schultz and Christian McCaffrey ($8,000) in the FLEX: three of the top four exposure rows are running backs, and McCaffrey's 41.3% exposure clears his 30.7% ownership. Seven spots cost $39,500. The $10,500 left buys a receiver and a defense, where this chalky core has to leave the field. No Raider makes the board, so no bring-back. The Bryce Young stack (9.3%, $5,400) comes with one: Carolina plays Atlanta, and Bijan is already in the core.
