Welcome to the NFL DFS Week 8 Dart Board!

Have you gone through and read everything in the NFL Week 8 DFS Playbook? There are a lot of DFS lineup construction notes within the write-ups which point you towards not just a lot of top plays, but also a need for a STRONG Dart Board. This week's edition might be a little more fluid this week as more NFL injury news continues to come out at the time of writing this, so be sure to check back for more updates throughout the day Saturday and especially Sunday morning. We just watched both Lamar Jackson and Michael Penix get ruled out, so brace yourselves. Read the DFS position coaches, check in with the NFL DFS Ownership and stay on top of the latest NFL news. I'll be here to make adjustments throughout the weekend leading up to game-time. Now let's get to our NFL DFS Week 8 bargain picks.

 

 

If you're new to Fantasy Alarm, the DFS Dart Board is an add-on to the Playbook that I started several years ago. It came about when I was building GPP lineups and realized I needed more salary relief. As I dug through my notes to see which players stood out the most among those at a more affordable price, it hit me. When I put players in the Playbook, I am thinking primarily about cash lineup plays -- guys with a high floor who I could conceivably put into my core-group and build a lineup around. After those players, I would mix in a handful of guys who had boatloads of upside and were in soft match-ups, but I wasn’t paying as much attention to their salary as I should have. And that's where the Dart Board came into play.

Every now and then, when building lineups while using particular stacks, you need some salary relief. You need a guy who may not be minimally priced, but low enough to give you the flexibility you need to get someone like Jonathan Taylor or Ja'Marr Chase in as a flex play or something. Occasionally you may see a min-priced QB or TE in here, but more often than not, this space is reserved primarily for running backs and wide receivers who are below $6,000 on FanDuel or $5,000 or lower on DraftKings.

Now while we call this a Dart Board, keep in mind that every player has been carefully researched. We're not up here picking players all willy-nilly, desperately hoping they hit. We're looking for the cheapest bargains possible who still have the strongest potential to give you at least a 3-5x return on what you pay.

All set? Great. Let's get to it and while you do, maybe give a listen to this week's NFL DFS Show with me & Jon Impemba.
