NFL DFS Tournament Takes: Week 8 (Fantasy Football)

Footclan, it’s Week 8, and we’re back in action! I may have been off last week celebrating the big 3-0 (thanks to Borg for holding down the fort), but now it’s time to dive back into the DFS grind as we hit the heart of the NFL season. We’ve got a loaded 13-game slate this week with no teams on bye, which means a ton of value and multiple ways to approach roster construction. With so many options available, this is a prime opportunity to take advantage of the depth and find those unique plays that can separate us from the field.

Whether you’re locking in solid floor plays, looking for high-upside game stacks, or mixing in some under-the-radar value, there’s a path for everyone this week. Let’s dig in, exploit the edges, and make this slate work in our favor. Week 8 is ours for the taking — let’s get after it!

Tournament Takes

Each week I’ll discuss my favorite stacks to utilize in large-field tournaments, ways to gain leverage on the field, and any other slate-specific thoughts.

Game of the Week – Eagles @ Bengals (CIN -2.5, O/U 48)

This Sunday’s Game of the Week should be an exciting, high-scoring affair in Cincinnati. Both teams bring explosive offenses with premium-priced options, which can make building a game stack challenging — but with all the value we have on this slate, it’s absolutely possible to stack around this game if you’re aiming for a big payday.
