Week 8 Primetime DFS Domination

Lineup recommendations for DraftKings and FanDuel for Week 8 DFS fantasy football primetime slate.

The massive popularity of small DFS slates has propelled us to expand our DFS coverage. I will give you my favorite lineup for the Primetime Slate each week. We will release these as soon as both sites release their pricing.

Recommended Primetime DFS lineups

DK Lineup: QB Dak Prescott ($6.5k), RB Jordan Mason ($7.9k), RB Najee Harris ($6.3k), WR Wan’Dale Robinson ($5.9k), WR Jalen Tolbert ($5.3k), WR Ricky Pearsall ($4.4k), TE Jake Ferguson ($5.3k), FLEX George Kittle ($5.8k), DST New York Giants ($2.5k)

FD Lineup: QB Dak Prescott ($7.6k), RB Jordan Mason ($8.9k), RB Rico Dowdle ($6.0k), WR CeeDee Lamb ($9.1k), WR Wan’Dale Robinson ($6.6k), WR Ricky Pearsall ($5.2k), TE Jake Ferguson ($6.1k), FLEX Najee Harris ($7.0k), DST New York Giants ($3.2k)

Brock Purdy can be your pivot if he gets back Deebo Samuel (wrist, illness). Otherwise, Russell Wilson stacked with George Pickens is the alt play to Dak Prescott.

He should be at full ownership with Jordan Mason (shoulder) slated to play. If I am going to pivot, it would be swapping out Najee Harris with Rico Dowdle. I like Tyrone Tracy Jr. more than Devin Singletary as a contrarian FLEX play, but, either way, the matchup is brutal. Jaylen Warren doesn’t have the Tracy upside, but his cost savings could allow you to pivot up in salary at WR2.

If Samuel (illness) plays, you can use him instead of CeeDee Lamb on FD. On DK, you also can swap in Deebo alongside Pat Freiermuth instead of Jalen Tolbert and George KittleGeorge Pickens is the other WR1 pivot. If you go cheap at RB2, you could attempt to squeeze in Malik Nabers at WR2. He is an absolute stud, but this matchup is not optimal. Jauan Jennings (hip) has been announced as out. His absence opens up Ronnie Bell and Jacob Cowing as punt WR3s.

All four starting TEs are in play. George Kittle (foot) is the best choice, especially if the WR corps remains shorthanded. Jake Ferguson will be on most of my lineups in some form. Pat Freiermuth and Theo Johnson are more contrarian plays than anything else.
