There is a lot of variables to monitor for NFL Week 8 with injuries and weather that could impact the DFS slate. The weather (winds primarily) could come into play in Green Bay, Chicago, Cleveland, Cincinnati, and Buffalo. I don’t like to put too much emphasis on weather impacting fantasy production so there are still plenty of players and spots to use in those games but you might not want to stack up both teams passing games and instead pivot to the players that could benefit from windy conditions.

Now that we are past the quarter mark of the season, the NFL Hot Sheet has stopped feathering in last year’s status and completely converted over to using this year’s stats only. The Week 5 Sunday main slate is dwindling with two games getting postponed so far bringing the total down to 10 games. There are still plenty of options available to use in Cash game and GPP stacks, so see who I recommend in this week’s Hot Sheet!

It was a fun first week of NFL action and know we have some insights into what player’s roles will be and what coaches’ tendencies are. That said, we need to be careful to not put too much stock in the Week 1 results and hold onto some of our beliefs that we had coming into the season, even if they didn’t pan out opening weekend. So, with that let’s take a look at the Week 2 Hot Sheet with my top DFS plays, and Best Bets.

The NFC held serve with the home teams winning last week but the AFC had a couple of wild games. For the two-game Conference Championship DFS slate, in Cash games, it is more about locking in the big names, then taking a shot on a couple of cheaper fliers to round out your lineup. In GPPs, almost every stack conceivable will have some ownership, so focus on players that can make that one big play while also taking a stand either all-in or a complete fade of one of the high-owned studs.
