As we enter Week 9 the NFL regular season crosses the halfway point already. This week seems like a pretty straight forward week of who are the top plays and games to utilize for your Cash game lineups. Be sure to make some pivots in your GPP lineups away from the chalk and don’t rely on last week’s results to dictate who you play and how you build your lineup for this week.

Week 8 in the NFL was a wild one with windy weather and upsets which were navigated the best by FantasyAlarm who took the top spot in our expert grading, followed by a tie between HelloRookie and RotoBaller. FantasyAlarm also increased their lead in the Overall Standings as they continue to be chased by RotoGrinders – Consensus and a couple of lineup optimizers.

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.

Week 7 turned out to be a chalky week in DFS with a lot of high scores. DailyFantayCafe provided the top plays for the week, followed by Rotoballer and RotoGrinders – Lineup Builder. The Overall Leaderboard stayed mostly the same with FantasyAlarm and RotoGrinders – Consensus leading the way with the RotoGrinder – Lineup Builder finding its way into the Top 3 for the year. Plenty of weeks and grading for the NFL analysts and optimizers to work their way up the leaderboard.
