NFL Week 8 marks the relative midpoint of the 2025 NFL season and while the season-long fantasy football community laments over Byemageddon, we simply see it as another opportunity to build winning DFS lineups using our trusty NFL Week 8 DFS Playbook. Sure, six teams being idle means we get another 10-game slate, but thankfully, there is no game in Europe this week and only one game on Monday night so in actuality, so many teams being off means nothing because it's the same sized slate as we've had for the last couple of weeks. And if you were using the Playbook last week, you know that we're rolling in a slightly different way and crushed it last week. We aim to do it again.

If you're wondering what “slightly different way” we're rolling in, then you should go back and read the NFL Week 8 DFS Watch List as that explains everything. I've been discussing the move away from cash games and a different approach to building my lineups in an effort to combat the lineup trains we continue to see in our 50/50 cash games and last week was great for us. Rather than continue to rehash, I will let you go back and ready. If you don't, you may miss some of the changes in approach and I want you all to be up to speed with the plan and the change in our lineup construction process. They're not big sweeping changes – just a tweak here and there, but you want to stay current. After you check back, be sure to read all of the DFS Coaching articles, get current on the litany of NFL injuries and  then let's dive in. 

 

 

As a reminder, all of our content, our tools and everything else that has made us the leading site for all of your fantasy football needs – seasonal and daily – are here and even more accessible. 

We have also made some enhancements to our NFL tools. We continue to crunch the numbers and tweak our algorithms so that our daily fantasy football projections are the best in the industry and that, in turn, has improved things like our Lineup Generator/DFS Optimizer and our NFL DFS Ownership Projections. Again, all right here on one site for your convenience.

If you are new to the #FAmily, welcome! All the aforementioned tools are, obviously, at your disposal as well, but please allow me to point you towards more of the content and tools we provide to help you crush your DFS contests each week. It also makes for a nice introduction to our DFS team.

In addition to the positional coaches, you also have plenty of other research content to use like the weekly DFS Watch List, where I provide you with a daily-updated list of players I am looking at throughout the week. You will also want to watch our weekly NFL DFS Show with me and Jon Impemba as we break down every position, highlight our favorite plays, offer a core group of players to build around and then drop an example lineup into out NFL DFS channel on Discord. 

For those looking for the DFS bargains, you'll see my weekly DFS Dart Board as well as Impemba's Value Plays video. And for those looking to separate themselves from the herd, we also have our Contrarian Plays video too.

Need more data? Craving more research? Many of our seasonal fantasy football articles also double as kick-ass DFS research. You have the WR/CB Match-Up Report from Drew Scott, full game previews from Mark Lammey and the team, Coop's Target Report and all of our fantasy football tools from snap counts to red zone touches.

That should cover it. Now let's get to the NFL Week 8 DFS Playbook picks!
