FanDuel NFL: Best Lineup for Week 8
By Jon Dove
Running Back: Saquan Barkley, New York Giants
vs. Washington Redskins, Sunday 1:00pm
FanDuel: $ 8,900
The New York Giants are coming off another tough loss where the offense again looked sluggish. Saquan Barkley’s rushing numbers weren’t very impressive, but he was again a major part of the passing attack.
It’s his pass catching numbers that have saved his fantasy production. He’s the leading receiver among running backs and is sixth in receptions (49) in the entire league.
The Giants offensive struggles have actually helped Barkley’s fantasy production. New York’s issues along the offensive line has forced Eli Manning to get the ball out quickly. Barkley has become Manning’s go to target in these situations.
Running Back: Marlin Mack, Indianapolis Colts
@ Oakland Raiders, Sunday 4:05pm
FanDuel: $6,700
In the past two weeks, Marlin Mack has rushed for 215 yards averaging over 6.5 yards per carry. His success has forced the Indianapolis Colts to give him more and more touches. Mack has seized the lead back job and doesn’t appear willing to give it up.
This week the Colts matchup against the Oakland Raiders who are allowing over 130 rushing yards per game. Look for the Colts to get Mack involved early and often.
