Notorious' NFL DFS Picks - Core Plays: Week 8
Want to know who you should build your NFL DFS lineups around each week? Derek “Notorious” Farnsworth, one of the most legendary daily fantasy sports players around, will focus on his core picks in this weekly in-depth feature for Premium subscribers.
Week 8
While the core plays underwhelmed again in Week 7, we managed to make some good calls in the additional thoughts by position. I said to play Latavius Murray over the other mid-range running backs, I was high on DeAndre Hopkins in a game against the Colts, and I talked up John Brown. Ultimately, my main lineup fell just short of cashing in tournaments. On Sunday morning, I ended up on the wrong side of a 2v2. I was debating between Jared Goff + Larry Fitzgerald and Lamar Jackson + John Brown. Even though I knew the second combo had more upside, I opted to play 53-year old Fitzgerald. The Cardinals got up big early and leaned heavily on Chase Edmonds. You live and you learn… onto Week 8!
