Welcome to the DFS Example Lineups for NFL Week 8!
It's Week 8 of the NFL season and there are certainly some interesting matchups with three games boasting double-digit point spreads and just one game with a game total over 50 which is the matchup between the Titans and Colts. That being said, there are some savory matchups we are looking to attack this week and between the Playbook, Coaches, Tools and Lineup Generator I think we are in for another strong week of NFL DFS.
Just a few more notes here about the lineups below...
The cash lineups were built solely off the players I put in the Playbook. These are the guys who, unless I have indicated otherwise, offer up the higher floor and will help you cash in your Double-Ups and 50/50s. For GPP tournaments, particularly the large-field ones, you need to find alternative routes to the cash line. I will utilize players from the Playbook and the DFS Dart Board to fill in the gaps, but what I am looking for are some lower-owned stacks that make sense based on expected game flow and other news. You may also see in the GPP lineups, there may be some names I haven't discussed this week on the site, but have talked about during the week on the Fantasy Alarm Show on SiriusXM Fantasy Sports Radio. You will also notice, though, that others on the site have mentioned some of these players in places such as the position coaches, so it's not like we're trying to hide anything from you. The only time, and I mean the only time you will see a player in a GPP lineup who hasn't been discussed is if we are using a stack and need a player from the other team coming back. But it's rare when that happens.
Again, these lineups are meant to serve as examples for you. A sounding board if you will. They are not meant for you to plug in as your own. That's the lazy way and we don't condone it. We are trying to teach you how to be a better DFS player; we aren't lineup-sellers. You should be creating your own lineups using all the information we provide you throughout the week and then coming here to see if there is anything you may have missed or simply for an alternative perspective.
Best of luck to you this week and let's make some money!

GPP STACKS:
As a reminder, when you're stacking in GPP, you always want to run someone back from the opposing team. One-sided games often turn to a running back seeing higher-than-usual volume or the back-ups start to play. For a stack to really pop, the other team needs to keep things competitive.
Chalk Stacks (Expect High Ownership):
**Bengals: Joe Burrow, Ja'Marr Chase, Tee Higgins - IF YOU MUST - Michael Carter coming back
**Bills: Josh Allen: Stefon Diggs, Emmanuel Sanders, Cole Beasley - Jaylen Waddle or Mike Gesicki coming back
Rams: Matthew Stafford, Cooper Kupp, Tyler Higbee, Robert Woods - Brandin Cooks, David Johnson coming back
Possible Lower-Owned Stacks:

Falcons: Matt Ryan, Kyle Pitts, Cordarrelle Patterson, Russell Gage - D.J. Moore coming back
