Week 8 brings us a lot of great teams on bye weeks and a depleted pool of players to choose from.
However, this far into the season we've got a great base of information to use at our disposal to help dial in on which plays we should be targeting this week. We can take a look at key matchups to exploit on DraftKings by utilizing Vegas spreads and totals, our Net Expected Points (NEP) metric, and some daily fantasy gamesmanship.
Vegas currently has just one game projected for over 50 points this week in the Green Bay Packers-Atlanta Falcons matchup. That means we'll have to dive deeper into the other games looking for value plays to exploit in other matchups.
Of course, numberFire offers a great tool for premium members, allowing you to build customizable lineups by inputting your players and seeing what our projections offer for the week. There's even an optimization function that uses our algorithms to help fill out the rest of your daily lineup and give you the best chance of succeeding on game day.
Let's get into Week 8 and check out which studs and value plays should you target on DraftKings.
