Every Sunday in the weekly fantasy chats, I get asked about my favorite plays of the week or who is my player pool that weekend for DFS.
This article series covers exactly that.
I will go through the players I am targeting as the tournament plays for all formats and will cover core players and games to target for stacks in other posts.
The idea is that this will paint a clearer picture of framing lineups.
Week 8 DFS Content:
It is not that all tournament players cannot be used in cash games. If a player here works out for your team structure in cash games surrounding your primary core, use them.
These are just the players that come with some element of inherent risk but are the primary players that I still want to be ahead of the field on compared to the percentage of rosters they are projected to make this weekend.
I will have some analysis on the player selections and game writeups, but check out the Week 8 Worksheet for a fully detailed breakdown of the players and games.
Quarterback
C.J. Stroud ($6,300 DraftKings/$7,400 FanDuel)
Stroud has thrown multiple touchdown passes in four of his past five games played.
Teams are not throwing the ball a lot against Carolina, but that does not mean they are good at defending the pass.
The Panthers are 29th in the NFL in passing points allowed per attempt (.490), 27th in yards allowed per attempt (7.6 Y/A), and 30th in touchdown rate allowed (5.9%).
The Panthers are dead last in the league in pressure rate (27.6%), which is great for Stroud.
From a clean pocket, Stroud is averaging 9.0 yards per pass attempt (third in the league) with nine passing touchdowns and one interception.
Running Back
