NFL DFS: Week 8 Main Slate Breakdown - Cash Lineup, Pivot Lineups, GPP Plays, and Values
Preview
High totals on the board. Bills at Ravens is 54.5. Cowboys at Cardinals is 54.5. Those are the two games to attack. Bengals are -12.5 against the Titans. Jaguars are -10 against the Colts. There is value at tight end. Hunter Henry and Andrews are both cheap. Puka is the top receiver. Zay is the other core receiver. Walker is the core back. Cash leans Walker and Stevenson. Cap both. Dak is the quarterback to start most builds with. Pair him with Lamb. Allen is the other path. Pair him with Zay or DJ Moore if active. Get to one kicker or one defense. Do not double tight end in cash.
Injuries
Tre'Von Henderson and AJ Brown are out for the Patriots. That makes Rhamondre Stevenson a core. He projects for 13 opportunities and three targets. That target share should be higher with Brown out. Efton Chism is a value. He has been at 60-70% snaps the last three weeks. Hunter Henry gets a bigger role. Breece Hall is questionable for the Jets. If he sits, Braelon Allen is a core. He has been going off. RJ Harvey is out for the Broncos. Jonah Coleman is the value. He projects for 11.5 points. He should get 60% snaps. Tyjae Spears is out for the Titans. Tony Pollard is more interesting. He should get 75% of the workload. Carnell Tate is out. Wan'Dale Robinson is a core value. Calvin Ridley is questionable. If he sits, Wan'Dale is even better. Gunnar Helm is a min-price dart. Brian Robinson Jr. is out for the Falcons. Bijan gets a higher floor. Emeka Egbuka is out for the Bucs. Tez Johnson, Ted Hurst, and Chris Godwin all benefit. Kenneth Gainwell is questionable. If he sits, Bucky gets a higher floor. George Pickens is questionable. If he sits, Lamb is a core and Ryan Flournoy is too cheap. DJ Moore is waiting on news. If he sits, Shakir and Kincaid move up. Colby Parkinson is questionable. If he sits, Higbee gets a heavy target share. Jakobi Meyers is questionable. If he sits, Parker Washington and Strange are better. Josh Downs requested a trade. If he sits, Treadwell and Dulin are interesting. JT is expected to play.
The player pool is listed below. Any updates for the slate will be called out in the Discord Chat.
