Top NFL DFS Picks for Week 8
Travis Kelce had a monster showing last week, as he nearly went for 200 receiving yards, and he now gets another nice matchup against Denver, a team he had over 100 yards against in just the first half alone two weeks ago on Thursday Night Football. Kelce continues to be miles ahead of other TE options across the league, and rostering him provides a leg up in every lineup.
Christian McCaffrey seemed to not be fazed too much by his injury on Monday Night Football last week, as he found the end zone twice on his 18 touches. This CIN / SF matchup has some sneaky shootout potential as well, and with Sam Darnold likely starting at QB this week for the 49ers, we could see CMC asked to do as much as possible.
Tyreek Hill is a player we will have to monitor, as he missed practice on Wednesday, and there seems to be some question marks around his availability. But if he is healthy, he is a slate-breaking option no matter what kind of matchup he has. Hill has maintained a massive target share in this high-powered offense as well, only adding to his incredible floor/ceiling combo.
