FanDuel & DraftKings NFL DFS Week 8 GPP Breakdown

Oct 28, 2023

Charles LeClaire-USA TODAY Sports

In this space each week will be the top stacks, contrarian plays, and strategies to attack GPPs on both FanDuel and DraftKings. The backbone of our player pool is value, as highlighted by 4for4’s proprietary value metric, which goes beyond simple point-per-dollar projections. To be successful in GPPs, however, it’s essential to be unique and that can be accomplished by combining knowledge from 4for4’s suite of DFS tools including ownership projections, leverage scores, correlation, and stack values.

Even with all of these resources at our disposal, adjusting for game type is essential. For example, someone playing the Millionaire Maker shouldn’t have the same approach as someone entering a $300 single-entry contest with 150 entries. For nuanced explanations on game selection and lineup construction, be sure to check out 4for4’s DFS Strategy Hub and DFS MVP game theory segments.

Note: Many of 4for4’s value plays should be in your GPP player pool but may not necessarily be written about below. Most starters on teams with high implied totals are worthy of being rostered but players in this breakdown are those to be overweight on.

Popular Games to Target

Ravens @ Cardinals (+9.5); O/U 44.5

Lamar Jackson ($8,100 DraftKings/$8,800 FanDuel) once again finds himself as the primary cash game option in an elite spot opposite Arizona’s soft defense creating pressure at the league’s lowest rate (28.7%) and permitting the third-most yards per attempt (7.8) through the air. Jackson has additionally doused zone coverage, which the Cardinals scheme on 66% (10th) of their snaps, for 8.3 YPA (fourth) and a 78.7% completion rate (first), per Sports Info Solutions.

Not only does Zay Flowers ($5,600 DK/$6,500 FD) lead the Ravens in target share (24.6%) alongside Mark Andrews ($6,400 DK/$7,700 FD) since Week 2, the rookie also leads in target share against ...wait for it... zone coverage (26.2%). Unfortunately for tournaments, we’re projecting both Lamar and Flowers to check in as the highest-rostered players at their positions.
