Happy NFL Week 8 Sunday and welcome to the NFL DFS Week 8 Example Lineups. We've got all the latest NFL news down below, including NFL weather reports and then we dive into our new lineup strategy. Are you ready? Have you read through all of this week's content – the NFL DFS Playbook, the DFS Coaches, the WR/CB Report, and watched this week's DFS Show? If so, you should have a good idea of where we're all going with regard to both our cash game lineups and GPP tournaments. Remember, with no Europe game and only one on Monday night, we maintain a 10-game slate and that's been working out well for us. Let's get to it.

 

 

Just a few notes here about the lineups below...

The cash lineups were built solely off the players I put in the DFS Playbook. These are the guys who, unless I have indicated otherwise, offer up the higher floor and will help you cash in your Double-Ups and 50/50s. For GPP tournaments, particularly the large-field ones, you need to find alternative routes to the cash line. I will utilize players from the Playbook and the DFS Dart Board to fill in the gaps, but what I am looking for are some lower-owned stacks that make sense based on expected game flow and other news. 

You may also see in the GPP lineups, there may be some names I haven't discussed this week on the site, but have talked about during the week on the Fantasy Alarm Show or even on the Fantasy Alarm Sunday Gameday Show on SiriusXM Fantasy Sports Radio. You will also notice, though, that others on the site have mentioned some of these players in places such as the position coaches, so it's not like we're trying to hide anything from you. The only time, and I mean the only time you will see a player in a GPP lineup who hasn't been discussed is if we are using a stack and need a player from the other team coming back. Sometimes, correlation is needed.

Again, these lineups are meant to serve as examples for you; a sounding board, as I said. They are not meant for you to plug in as your own. That's the lazy way and we don't condone it. We are trying to teach you how to be a better DFS player; we aren't lineup-sellers. You should be creating your own lineups using all the information we provide you throughout the week and then coming here to see if there is anything you may have missed or simply for an alternative perspective.

**Be sure to check the Playbook and Dart Board for late changes

Best of luck to you this week and let's make some money!

GPP STACKS:

As a reminder, when you're stacking in GPP, you always want to run someone back from the opposing team. One-sided games often turn to a running back seeing higher-than-usual volume or the back-ups start to play. For a stack to really pop, the other team needs to keep things competitive.
