Week 8 FanDuel Tournament Picks


WRs

With no Davante Adams or Tyreek Hill on this slate, I’m opting to steer clear of Cooper Kupp ($9,200) & Ja’Marr Chase ($8,200) and pay down to the middle tier of WRs.

D.J. Moore ($7,700)

The positives for Moore include a near 30% target share and a 39% share of the Panthers’ air yards. Unfortunately, Sam Darnold has been a detriment to Moore hitting spike weeks since Week 3. This game presents a top 8 matchup in adjusted fantasy points allowed to WRs, so Moore should have a big one if Darnold doesn’t implode again.

Chris Godwin ($7,200)

Mike Evans is expected to see shadow coverage from Mashon Lattimore in this game.

These are Mike Evans’ receiving lines in games against New Orleans when he and Lattimore have matched up.

Godwin will be highly owned, but he’s what I would consider good chalk. It’s easy to project Godwin for 10+ targets with Evans in a tough matchup and no Antonio Brown. Plus, since he plays in the late games, you can late swap him out if your early plays were too chalky and you need some differentiation.

Keenan Allen ($6,900)

Allen has yet to show the high-end ceiling of his teammate Mike Williams this season. This may be the week, though.Allen has received double-digit targets in 3 of 6 games this season and 8 or more in 5 of 6. He also has a favorable matchup in the slot against Jalen Mills, who’s allowed 19-213-3 on 31 targets this season. This Patriots-Chargers game has the second-fastest pace of play only behind the Bills-Dolphins, which bodes well for Allen and the Chargers offense.

Michael Pittman Jr. ($6,600)

The Titans have been the 2nd worst defense in adjusted fantasy points allowed to WRs.Pittman has produced 15+ FanDuel points in 3 of his last 6 games. The Colts had All-Pro LG Quenton Nelson return from injury last week and they’ll get RT Braden Smith back this week, which should help them sustain offense going forward.

Cheap dart throws: Jerry Jeudy ($5,800) & Laviska Shenault ($5,800)
