Fantasy football picks: Week 8 TNF Vikings vs. Redskins

In this section, I will provide a section ranking my top five plays on the day. This is in descending order, starting at fifth, going down to my favorite play. I will also list my “dart throw of the day” which is my favorite high upside value play.

This is a great single game slate if you can find an edge. That is always my goal with these articles, is to find that edge. We have that in a few different ways, you just have to be brave enough to take a chance on some guys you wouldn’t normally use.

5 – Johnson

4 – Diggs

3 – Cousins 

2 – McLaurin

1 – Cook

Dart throw of the day – Sprinkle

The last piece of advice I have for this single game slate is to not get wrapped up in spending all of your available salary. If you have $1,000 leftover, but you really like your lineup, do not try to find a spot to spend the rest of your salary.

Leave the build alone, this isn’t a normal slate where we need to maximize every dollar we have to get the best build possible. Try to stand out, and go with your gut. Time and time again on these single-game slates, you will see people play the chalkiest lineup possible, and fill out all of the salary, thinking they have the best lineup of all time, just to be disappointed two hours later.
