Top CFB DFS Picks & Fantasy Pick’em Plays for Week 8
Shedeur Sanders: We don’t have as many dual-threat quarterbacks on the main DFS slates this week, but we do have plenty of gunslingers that can easily toss for 300+ yards. Sanders certainly rises near the top of that list, and the COL/ARIZ game has a healthy 58-point total and a close spread. Sanders has thrown for over 300 yards in 4 of his 6 games this season, with multiple touchdown passes in all of them. He’s one of my favorite quarterback options.
Woody Marks: While I expected Miller Moss and Zachariah Branch to be the breakout stars for USC offensively this season, it has been Marks that has stolen the show. The Trojans fell just short of an upset win over undefeated Penn State last week, and Marks continued to shine, with his 4th game of 100+ yards rushing over the last 5 games. With the Trojans finally having a better defensive matchup this week, Marks has the potential for an explosive game.
Elijah Sarratt: The transfer from James Madison has had no trouble moving from small conference life to a Big Ten school, and it is fun to see Indiana playing well behind him and transfer QB Kurtis Rourke. Sarratt has 14 catches for over 250 yards in his first 2 conference games, and I expect Indiana to score some points against Nebraska. Sarratt is reasonably priced in DFS and makes for a fine mid-range option.
