DraftKings Daily Fantasy Football Picks (Week 8): NFL DFS Lineups

Week 8 has similar bad news in the case of us losing a few interesting teams from the slate. With both the Atlanta Falcons and Los Angeles Chargers on a bye week, we lose two of the more explosive offenses and one of the weaker defenses. We have also lost the New England Patriots to […]

Joe Flacco A Mid-Level QB2 Option For Week 8

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco bounced back from two below-average games with a solid performance against the Saints in Week 7. While Flacco completed just 59 percent of his passes for 279 yards last week, he also tossed two touchdowns and no interceptions, marking the first time that has occurred in three weeks. It also […]

Top College Prospects - Dynasty League Scouting (Week 9 Edition)

Week 8 was terrible. Just awful. Ok, I'm just being a bit spiteful since I'm an Ohio State fan and had to watch my team suffer another embarrassing road loss as a multiple score favorite. But if you're not a grumpy Ohio State fan like myself, you probably really enjoyed another weekend of games that featured […]

Stop The Slander - Hello Jameis Winston, QB1

"Fitzmagic" may be dead, but Jameis Winston is breathing new life into the Tampa Bay Buccaneers offense and possibly your fantasy football team as QB1. So Stop The Slander. Winston was a laughing stock last season after a few failed motivational speeches went viral. Tampa looked ordinary, despite demonstrating promise to start the season. Things did […]

Blake Bortles A Risky Play In Week 8

Last Sunday, the Jacksonville Jaguars showed that they weren't afraid to make a mid-game change at the quarterback position, benching starter Blake Bortles for Cody Kessler after Bortles struggled against the Texans. That leaves Bortles fantasy owners in a precarious position this week, as the Jaguars travel to London to take on the Philadelphia Eagles. […]

Case Keenum Once Again an Afterthought

Weeks 5 and 6 saw Denver Broncos quarterback Case Keenum average 349.5 passing yards while tossing four touchdown passes -- exceeding his total of three from the three games prior -- and averaging 20.3 fantasy points per game. But, just when we thought he'd turned the corner and returned to the QB we saw lead […]

DraftKings CFB DFS Picks - Daily Fantasy College Football Advice for 10/27

Let's jump right into it, shall we? As has been the case since week three, there's a 10 game main slate this Saturday on DraftKings, with kickoff (and slate lock) at noon eastern. If I'm being honest, it's not the prettiest slate of games, but you play with the cards you're dealt. There's one gem […]

Derek Carr Needs To Perform In Favorable Matchup

Oakland Raiders quarterback Derek Carr has a favorable matchup this week against the Colts and must step up with a big game. The Raiders are in freefall right now with questions surrounding Carr, the locker room and the coaching staff. Not the mention they traded away Amari Cooper their number one receiver. Carr is facing […]

Russell Wilson Goes Back To 2013

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson has guided Seattle to wins in three of their last four games, and it's like he's taken a step back in time. When the Seahawks won the Super Bowl in 2013-14, it was on the back of a running game that allowed Wilson to work as an efficient playmaker who […]

Andrew Luck is a Top-10 Option in Week 8

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Andrew Luck has thrown for four touchdowns in three of his last four games and has found himself as a top-10 fantasy quarterback over that entire span. One reason for that success has been the Colts' tendency to throw the football inside their opponent's 20-yard line, where Luck currently leads the league […]

C.J. Beathard Must Reduce Turnovers

San Francisco 49ers quarterback C.J. Beathard hasn’t been a disaster but his carelessness with the football is concerning. In four starts, Beathard has committed 10 turnovers. He faces the Arizona Cardinals in Week 8, who have allowed only eight passing touchdowns on the season. Beathard struggled while being constantly harassed in Week 7 by the […]

Brock Osweiler Has Weak Performance In Week 8

Miami Dolphins quarterback Brock Osweiler completed 21 of 35 pass attempts for 241 yards and no touchdowns in Week 8 against the Houston Texans. Osweiler has been effective the last two weeks but was held to a fairly weak performance by the Texans defense- these types of outings will likely be more common than previous […]

Fantasy Football Q&A Mailbag - Week 8

Week 7 of the 2018 NFL Season is in the books, and here is a quick fantasy recap to keep you up to date. Surprise, surprise. Patrick Mahomes' 32.8 points led the way and kept him firmly atop the quarterback rankings on the season. It was all about the return of the Mack in Indianapolis, […]

Buy or Sell? Week 8 Trade Advice

One of the toughest parts of fantasy football to navigate is trading with league-mates. As a result of the unique characteristics of every person in a fantasy football league, it is often difficult to find a strategy for trading players that works for everyone in any situation. Nevertheless, highlighting the performances of certain players helps […]

Alex Smith Maintains Low Ceiling In Week 8

Washington Redskins quarterback Alex Smith will take on a Giants defense allowing 18 fantasy points per game to opposing quarterbacks on Sunday. It's a middle-of-the-pack matchup, but Smith would actually have to exceed his normal fantasy output to reach 18 points in Week 8. With the Redskins having clearly demonstrated their preference to run the […]

Kirk Cousins A Must-Start In Week 8

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins has been fantastic during his first season in the Twin Cities. That trend is likely to continue in Week 8, as he gets a matchup against the 28th ranked pass defense of the New Orleans Saints. The Saints have allowed the second most fantasy points to quarterbacks this season. Cousins […]

Deshaun Watson Throws Five Touchdowns Thursday

Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson threw five touchdown passes in Thursday's victory over the Miami Dolphins. Watson was 16-for-20 through the air, finishing with 239 yards and no turnovers. He added 14 rushing yards as well. It was a strong and efficient night for the second-year passer, who evaded defenders in the backfield and extended […]

Jameis Winston a Good Start for Week 8

Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston finds himself in QB1 territory this Sunday in Cincinnati. The Bengals defense has been exposable all season long and despite the lack of a solid rushing attack, the Bucs should pose a formidable threat. Winston has posted consecutive QB1 performances against the Browns and Falcons, therefore, it is fair to assume […]

No Doubt About Cam Newton's Status For Week 8

Carolina Panthers head coach Ron Rivera said "there is no doubt" that quarterback Cam Newton (shoulder) will play in Week 8 against the Ravens. Newton didn't throw in the portion of practice open to the media on Thursday, but he remained limited. Baltimore is one of the better defenses in the NFL and allow the […]

Chris Ivory, Derek Anderson Limited In Practice

Buffalo Bills running back Chris Ivory (hamstring) and quarterback Derek Anderson (back, calf) were both limited in practice on Thursday. With LeSean McCoy looking likely to clear the concussion protocol and play on Monday night against the Patriots, Ivory won't be much of a fantasy option. Anderson was horrible in his first start for the […]

Patrick Mahomes Remains QB1 Against Denver

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes has been almost impossible to stop this season. He's thrown 22 touchdowns with just five interceptions heading into Week 8 versus the Broncos. Mahomes has thrown for over 300 yards in each week since Week 1. Mahomes threw for 304 yards and a touchdown in Week 4 versus Denver. […]

Deshaun Watson Should See Success Against Dolphins

Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson has had a few rough outings this season, including a pair of sub-200 yard games as he deals with a chest injury. But the Texans are home against the Dolphins this week, a team over 200 passing yards in every game this season. And while Miami has done well to […]

Josh Rosen Expected To Struggle In Week 8

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Josh Rosen (toe) is expected to have another difficult game against the San Francisco 49ers. Although play-calling duties will be taken over by quarterbacks coach Byron Leftwich following the firing of offensive coordinator Mike McCoy, the rookie quarterback still looks like a rookie and should find it difficult to air it out […]

Aaron Rodgers Faces Test In Week 8 Matchup

The Green Bay Packers Week 8 game against the Los Angeles Rams will be an important test for both Green Bay and quarterback Aaron Rodgers. Rodgers has been able to consistently produce this year despite missing some of his top targets, an injured knee, and a comically outdated offensive scheme. However, the Los Angeles Rams […]

Jared Goff Has A Good Matchup In Week 8

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Jared Goff has been one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL this season. However, at times he can fall prey to the effectiveness of running back Todd Gurley. When Gurley is running well and the team has a good lead, they are more than content to ride the hot hand. […]

Matthew Stafford Draws Tough Matchup In Week 8

Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford faces off against the Seahawks at home this Sunday. Stafford performs better at home but Seattle allows the fewest fantasy points to quarterbacks. The Seahawks are one of two defenses in the league that have recorded more interceptions than passing touchdowns allowed. While Stafford has been more risk-averse this season, […]
