- Sunday’s Week 8 main slate includes 11 games, with no international games making the afternoon schedule heavier. The Bills-Ravens and Cowboys-Cardinals matchups each carry a 54.5 over/under and stand out for projected scoring.
- Mike McClure, a professional DFS player with more than $2 million in career winnings, locked in his top Week 8 Sunday selections; his full rankings, advice, stacks and an additional under-the-radar pick are available only through SportsLine.
- Chase Brown was named a top pick at $7,100 on FanDuel and $6,300 on DraftKings. Brown failed to top 40 rushing yards in his previous three games but drew 20 targets over that span; the Titans rank 21st against opposing backs, while the Bengals are favored by double digits.
- Mark Andrews was another top pick at $5,200 on FanDuel and $3,400 on DraftKings; McClure said the affordable tight end could get a big boost if Lamar Jackson returns from a three-week absence caused by an ankle injury.
- Jaylen Waddle was listed as questionable with a chest injury, alongside Cam Skattebo (hamstring) and Breece Hall (quadriceps); all three statuses need monitoring before they are used in daily Fantasy lineups.
- ESPN and CBS Sports also cover Week 8 through player-specific research: ESPN’s last-minute predictions include Derrick Henry and Jared Goff, while CBS Sports spotlights Jahmyr Gibbs, Puka Nacua and Patrick Mahomes in cheat-sheet and start/sit coverage.
Why it matters: For FanDuel and DraftKings users, the slate’s two 54.5 over/unders and three questionable injury statuses make exposure and late lineup checks central. Chase Brown’s $6,300 DraftKings price and Mark Andrews’ $3,400 price put two budget-friendly options in focus, with Andrews tied to a reported Lamar Jackson return.
