Top NFL DFS Targets & Values for Week 8

It’s crazy to think that we’re nearing the halfway point of the 2022 NFL season, but alas here we are. Week 8 looms large with some star players not on Sunday’s main slate. ~/AAAHagA~/RgRlPuYdP0QuaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZmFudGFzeWFsYXJtLmNvbS8_bGlkPXkyb2h5bGRuZWJjalcFc3BjZXVCCmNQHWFcYxjhUWZSG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjkyQGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAABRA~~ ~/AAAHagA~/RgRlPuYdP0R3aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZmFudGFzeWFsYXJtLmNvbS9hcnRpY2xlcy9uZmwvcXVhcnRlcmJhY2tzL25mbC1kZnMtcWItY29hY2gtd2Vlay04LXR1YS10YWdvdmFpbG9hLXRha2VzLW9uLXRoZS1saW9ucy8xMzYwODJXBXNwY2V1QgpjUB1hXGMY4VFmUht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MkBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAUQ~ Tua Tagovailoa When you get a matchup against the Detroit Lions you will see your name in the “top plays” section more often than not.

He has rushed for at least 49 yards in four straight and has found the end zone twice in that span. He had a season-high in both targets and receptions last week with four and five, respectively. With two games north of 20 fantasy points in his past four games, he has flashed some upside for a guy at his price tag. The Lions defense hasn’t been able to stop anyone this season and it seems unlikely that they can stop any part of the Dolphins offense.

The Vikings have allowed the 11th-most fantasy points to opposing receivers over the last four weeks, and for the 2022 season as a whole, they are one of the worst against the opposition’s WR1. Both Arizona and Minnesota play at a fast pace, so there should be plenty of opportunity, and hopefully points, in this contest.

Last time he had a plus matchup like this he drop over 170 yards and two touchdowns. He’s 10.5% of your budget on Yahoo and Fanduel but only 9.8% on DraftKings so slight advantage there.

While they haven’t ventured into a more expensive range yet we can consider this a discount even as the most expensive team on both DraftKings and FanDuel. You’re paying a premium, sure. But in two of their last three games they’ve returned over 20 fantasy points. Only the Eagles have dropped more than 20 points on them. The Cowboys are arguably the best D/ST in fantasy football and should feast in this matchup against the Bears who, despite winning in Week 7, are playing on a short week and they’re on the road. The Cowboys are favored by 9.5 points and the over/under is at 42.5 points, which isn’t the lowest on the slate but still relatively low. Dallas does everything we love for fantasy: they don’t let opponents score much, they limit the yardage, and they force sacks and turnovers. Until DraftKings decides to grow a pair and raise the price tag, Dallas can continue to be worth it.
