FanDuel NFL 2020: Best lineup for Week 8
By Nick Villano
This week’s Fanduel lineups are stacked with very few good offenses off the board.
For the first time all season, Fanduel daily fantasy players looking at the popular Sunday afternoon slate won’t have to even consider playing a player from an NFC East team.
The worst division in sports is ineligible for these lineups since Washington is on bye, the Philadelphia Eagles and Dallas Cowboys play on Sunday Night Football, and the New York Giants play on Monday Night Football. These terrible teams might be the only thing to watch as national options, but at least they don’t need to take down your lineups anymore.
This gives us some very intriguing matchups to choose from. Obviously, there’s the choice one must make about how much the Kansas City Chiefs can possibly score on the New York Jets in the first half before the backups come in. Is it worth it to pay a massive price to Patrick Mahomes if he might be done with a 35-0 lead going into halftime? Well, if Mahomes is credited with four touchdowns at that point, it would be.
Rivalry games are all over the slate. The Seahawks and 49ers rivalry is as good as ever, and both teams are peaking right before they face off. It should be a high-scoring matchup between the two. Minnesota and Green Bay had one of the highest-scoring games of the year back in September.
In part two, it should be just as fun. The Patriots are trying to save their season against the new darlings of the AFC East, the Buffalo Bills. Of course, the Steelers-Ravens game is the one everyone will be watching.
There are so many fun options to choose this week, any lineup could be a monster. This week might be one of the harder weeks to put together a lineup.
