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.

We have a retro Sunday Main slate thanks to the time switch between the Bucs/Raiders and Seahawks/Cardinals games which puts both games on the slate including the Sunday night matchup. I actually prefer this setup with the late-night hammer game also gives you a little more time to make any last-minute late swaps to maximize your potential positive outcomes. This week the Hot Sheet delivers the usual top DFS plays at each position along with a long list of Best Bets as I look to ride a hot streak.
