- Sunday’s Week 8 DFS slate contains 11 games, with no international games making the afternoon schedule heavier; Cowboys–Cardinals and Bills–Ravens each carry a 54.5 over/under, the two highest projected totals cited.
- Chase Brown is one of McClure’s top picks at $7,100 on FanDuel and $6,300 on DraftKings; despite failing to top 40 rushing yards in each of the past three games, he has 20 targets, while Tennessee ranks 21st in fantasy points allowed to opposing backs and the Bengals are double-digit favorites.
- Mark Andrews is another McClure target at $5,200 on FanDuel and $3,400 on DraftKings, offering an affordable tight-end route into the 54.5-point Bills–Ravens game; the analysis links his case to Lamar Jackson’s return.
- Lamar Jackson is trending toward a return after a three-week absence due to an ankle injury, according to multiple reports cited in the analysis.
- Jaylen Waddle is listed as questionable with a chest injury; Cam Skattebo (hamstring) and Breece Hall (quadriceps) are also questionable, and the source says to monitor all three before using them in daily lineups.
- Mike McClure has more than $2 million in career DFS winnings and uses a model that simulates every snap using matchups, statistical trends and injuries; he tied for first in the DraftKings Millionaire Maker twice and won the FanDuel Million once.
- SportsLine says the rest of McClure’s top picks and optimal lineups can be seen only at SportsLine, leaving one additional “under-the-radar” selection unnamed in the public article.
Why it matters: For DraftKings managers, Chase Brown’s $6,300 price and Mark Andrews’s $3,400 price provide budget exposure to their respective games, including the 54.5-point Bills–Ravens matchup for Andrews. The immediate caveat is concrete: Jaylen Waddle, Cam Skattebo and Breece Hall are all questionable and need status checks before daily-lineup use.
