NFL DFS Week 8: Fantasy football cash game breakdown

And just like that the NFL season was nearly half over. What the actual heck. I have not capitalized so far like I’ve wanted despite cashing most weeks. My contest selection has definitely hurt my profitability so be sure to keep an eye on that for yourself. Also…NBA is back baby! I think a few of the games have already been better than just about any NFL game this year which is sad. I will always love football so much but there is no denying the product is terrible right now.

This week’s article is coming out just a bit later than the past few weeks but hopefully you locked in Dalvin Cook last night against the woeful Washington R-words. He barely missed some bonuses on DraftKings but still crushed it. Diggs had a pretty nice night with Thielen out as well.

I’m planning on providing you with the cash game fantasy football DFS plays for the main slate for both FanDuel and DraftKings in this article. Ideally, this will come out on Friday’s or Saturday’s each week once we’ve had an opportunity to identify the chalk. When I say chalk, I mean the players who will be the highest owned in your FanDuel or DraftKings DFS fantasy football contests. The chalk has been KILLING it this year so I would hope you’re getting some cash from reading this. There is definitely a risk in not playing the high owned guys in fantasy football DFS cash games though. If they crush and you didn’t play them, you’re done for.

This article is going to try and key in on the good chalk plays so you can play them in fantasy football DFS cash games and be safe. I also highly recommend checking out some GPP plays by Lumberjack Brandon and ThunderDan which can be found here. Cash games are 50/50s, head to head games, and double-ups. Double ups are going to likely be the hardest of these types of games. Also, do not enter the big double ups unless you’re maxing them out.

Without further ado, let’s dive into the fantasy football DFS cash plays this week!
