Week 8 DraftKings & FanDuel Showdown Plays: Cowboys vs. 49ers Sunday Night NFL DFS
Welcome to the Showdown Breakdown for Sunday Night Football in Week 8 of the 2024 season, featuring a clash between the 3-3 Dallas Cowboys and the 3-4 San Francisco 49ers. The Cowboys enter this matchup in a season marred by inconsistency and unreliability and have looked entirely non-competitive at times, sporting a -42 point differential and still reeling from a 47-9 blowout loss to the Detroit Lions prior to their Week 7 bye. The 49ers are also struggling and have been hit incredibly hard by injuries, particularly at the skill positions. Brandon Aiyuk is now out for the season, Jauan Jennings will miss this matchup, and Deebo Samuel’s availability remains highly uncertain. With these offensive setbacks, the 49ers will rely on their methodical “mid-range” passing game, but most of all, can’t wait to get Christian McCaffrey back soon enough. To make it all worse for Dallas, defensive star Micah Parsons is likely sidelined, increasing the overall shootout potential of this contest. Let’s dive deeper into this one from a single-game DFS perspective.
