OwnersBox NFL DFS Format
What is up, Grinders! We are here to talk about OwnersBox! This site is very creative for NFL, as it has given us what we’ve been craving for what feels like an eternity. Straightforward football builds. No kickers, no defenses, just the position players that get it done for us week in and week out. Did I mention there was a Superflex?! Yes, we have the ability to play two quarterbacks in the format over at OwnersBox. It consists of the following positions: QB, RB x2, WR x2, TE, Flex x2, and the Superflex, which could be a QB/RB/WR/TE. This is revolutionary for the DFS enthusiast, and I am here to talk through a handful of plays each week that I hope carry us to the finish line.
Top NFL DFS Picks for Week 8
We are going to dedicate this article to the WRS this week. I think we have so many to choose from in great spots. Let’s call it National WR Day!
Adam Thielen ($6,200)
We are going to rock this target until the wheels fall off. Mr. Thielen keeps getting star-level volume for mid-level pricing. I will once again be rolling him out with confidence. Here are his target numbers for the last five games: 13, 13, 8, 14, and 9. This is ELITE incorporation into this passing game. This might be our last week to get a discount on him and I want to take advantage of it one last time.
Drake London ($5,200)
Drake London keeps flying under the radar every week because we still think the Falcons are a 3-yard and a cloud of dust offense. If you dig in, you will see that this team is throwing the ball A TON compared to last season and London has been garnering a fair amount of targets. Over the last few games, he’s seen 7, 12, 9, 7, and 6. These are good opportunities for him due to his explosiveness and potential for YAC. I think the price is too low, and I want to attack this Titans secondary since the run should be slowed down a bit.
Christian Kirk ($4,800)
While the shiny new toy came strolling into the building by way of Calvin Ridley, the big fantasy guy here was Christian Kirk. As long as Zay Jones continues to sit out week-to-week, I will continue to fire up Kirk with confidence. Not only is he getting enough targets, but he is also really gashing defenses with big gains. We’ve seen the Steelers muck games up from week to week, but I think Kirk gets overlooked in tournaments and puts up a big performance.
Week 8 Closing Thoughts
The WR position is my favorite of them all this week! Outside of these selections, there is one other BIG name that I included in the Ownersbox Short for the week. Check that out as well, and let’s ride this thing to the money.
