Week 8 DraftKings & FanDuel Showdown Plays: Vikings vs. Rams Thursday Night NFL DFS
Welcome to the Showdown Breakdown for Thursday Night Football in Week 8 of the 2024 season, where the 5-1 Minnesota Vikings take on the 2-4 Los Angeles Rams. Minnesota is coming off a tough loss to the Lions, and despite holding the second-best record in the NFC, they currently sit fifth in the playoff standings after falling to their division rivals. Meanwhile, the Rams sit in last place in the NFC West with a -40 point differential, one of the worst in the league. Injuries are also shaking up the best DFS values for this matchup, as Minnesota looks to be nearing full strength for the first time all season, with T.J. Hockenson questionable but trending toward playing (update 10/24: Hockenson has been downgraded to OUT). And (with the exception of wide receiver Jordan Whittington), the same is true with the Rams, as they could see the return of Puka Nacua from a Week 1 knee injury, which would provide much-needed support for Matthew Stafford. With significant buzz around Cooper Kupp, who may be playing his last game for the Rams, this game has everything: injury intrigue, superstar talents, and a little bit of speculative drama. Let’s dive into this game from a single-game DFS perspective.
