Week 8 in the NFL has some nice matchups in store as we turn the calendar from October to November, fall back an hour, and get ready for a big week of DraftKings fantasy football! To see the players that I think are ready to help you shake off the post-Halloween sugar coma with a win this weekend, check out my DraftKings fantasy football picks on the following slides.

Four unbeaten teams put their 6-0 records on the line this Sunday and Monday as the Packers, Panthers, Bengals, and Broncos look to avoid their first loss.  The Packers and Broncos meet in the marquee game of the weekend on Sunday Night Football before the Panthers take on the Colts on Monday Night Football to close out the weekend.

As usual, DraftKings has a number of different windows to play in if you want early only, late only, primetime, or just Sunday contests, but for this post I’ll focus on all the games on Sunday and Monday which is where the big money contests usually are. The big window excludes the Detroit-Kansas City game early on Sunday from London, so I won’t list those players here. If you want to play any Lions or Chiefs, just make sure you choose a contest that starts at 9:30 AM ET on Sunday instead of the typical 1:00 PM start.

At FanSided, each week I try to help you find all the best picks for your team in every format you choose to play throughout the season. In the related posts box above, you can see all our latest coverage including the latest waiver wire pickups to watch in season-long leagues and start/sit rankings as we get into the weekend. You should also be able to find my FanDuel specific picks if that’s the way you choose to play this weekend.  For the purposes of this post, all salary and scoring references are to DraftKings fantasy football structure.

To find all our fantasy football coverage throughout the season, make sure to drop a bookmark on our fantasy football hub and follow @FansidedFantasy on Twitter.  I’ll be happy to answer as many of your questions as I can on Twitter throughout the days leading up to kickoff for either your season-long or DFS teams.

On the following slides, for each of the main  positions, I’ve separated my Draftkings fantasy football picks for week 8 into a slide for high-salary options and a slide for high-value options. I’ve also included a slide for tight ends and D/ST options as well. To see my two personal DraftKings lineups that I have money on this week scroll to the final slide of this post.

Let’s start with some high-priced QB’s as we jump into my DraftKings fantasy football picks for week 8!
