NFL FanDuel Picks For Week 8

More from DFS

We here at Fantasy CPR will work very hard and do everything that we can to bring you articles to prepare you and help you be successful with your bids and games at FanDuel and DraftKings just as we have with MLB and NBA. I always recommend that you do plenty of homework on your own as well as reading our articles. You will also want to make sure that you have access to your FanDuel lineup prior to kickoff in case a player is a last-minute inactive players.

There should be plenty of bargains and great plays in this weeks set of games and we will try to help you to be as good as you can and take home plenty of cash.

Here are my FanDuel picks for Week 8:

Quarterback:

QB – Teddy Bridgewater – Bridgewater is a guy that I have been fairly high on. He has also been performing pretty well with the emergence of Stefon Diggs. I am expecting a nice game out of him and I think he will give us just that. I picked him up in a few of my regular leagues and think he has some nice upside for the rest of the season.

RB – Chris Johnson – Johnson has seen a nice resurgence of his career with the Cardinals and their offensive line. He has a fantastic match-up this week and should be good to go for a top ten type of weekend for fantasy stats.

RB – Doug Martin – Martin is another guy that I like this week and he has a good match-up as well. He is on pace with his career best season from 2012 and will easily be a top RB when this season wraps up should he avoid injuries.

Next: Wide Receivers

Wide Receivers:

More from FanSided

WR – Antonio Brown – With Ben Roethlisberger slated to be back this week I like Brown as this will probably be the cheapest we will see him for the rest of the season. Brown is a beast and he will most likely be happy to have Big Ben back in the saddle and thus go off.

WR – Alshon Jeffery – Jeffery is another guy who is cheap right now due to injury and other concerns. He had a huge week last week in his return and should do so again this week. He has always feasted on the Vikings and that is who he faces off with this week.

WR – Michael Crabtree – Crabtree is in the midst of his best season since his best ever season in 2012. He is on pace to exceed that and with the recent good play from Derek Carr I expect that Crabtree will continue to do well.

Next: Tight End, Defense, and Kicker

Tight End:

TE – Tyler Eifert – Eifert has been a top three tight end all season. I like the way he plays and I like the way Andy Dalton is targeting him. He has a great match-up against the Steelers and could very well be the top scoring tight end in fantasy this weekend.

Kicker:

K – Steven Hauschka – Hauschka has been one of the better kickers in fantasy football this year. He has scored over 11 fantasy points in three of his last five games and should continue this week against the Cowboys. Dallas has been very susceptible to fantasy kickers this season.

Defense:

D – Arizona Cardinals – The Cardinals have been a top-notch fantasy defense this season. They are also facing off with a Cleveland Browns team who has given up tons of sacks. The Browns are not a great football team and the Cardinals should have their way with them.
