DraftKings & FanDuel NFL DFS Week 8 Cash Strategy & Picks
This is a cash game article. The goal is to make sound decisions for 50/50s and Double Up contests on DraftKings and FanDuel. These are challenging contests. If you can win 60% of your cash games over the course of the season, you are playing like a professional.
A few things to keep in mind before we get to the best plays of the week:
If you can enter low-dollar contests–$1 to $3 contests–start there. Many pros won’t be able to play in those contests.
Enter Single Entry contests before the huge contests that allow mass multi-entry (MME). Generally, you can expect the cash line to be lower in Single Entry contests, because a larger portion of the field will be made up of pros in MME contests.
The goal of these contests is not to win first place. The goal is to min-cash. Thus, the focus is more on players with high floors (generally a result of projectable volume) than players with high ceilings (boom-bust players).
Do not be afraid to late swap. A lock before the 1 PM ET games is not necessarily a lock before the 4 PM ET games. If your players in the early games dud–especially players who are not played by a majority of the field–you may be playing from behind, and a swap to more boom-bust type players may be viable.
