Week 8 DraftKings & FanDuel Showdown Plays: Monday Night NFL DFS for Giants vs. Steelers

Welcome to the Showdown Breakdown for Week 8 Monday Night Football, where the 5-2 Pittsburgh Steelers host the 2-5 New York Giants. Pittsburgh enters this matchup riding high on the momentum of a dominant win over the New York Jets, bringing their point differential to a striking +60, quietly the second-best in the AFC. Meanwhile, the Giants sit at the bottom of their division with a troublingly bad -50 point differential, second-worst in the NFC. To make matters tougher for New York, they face an uphill battle against the Steelers’ suddenly rising offense, sporting an entirely depleted secondary, with three of their cornerbacks expected to miss Monday night’s action. Though the Steelers will be without rotational players Cordarrelle Patterson and rookie wideout Roman Wilson, neither has been a major factor this season, which means it looks like a clear advantage on paper, but can they capitalize? With Pittsburgh adjusting to a new offensive identity under Russell Wilson and the Giants struggling to keep up with divisional competition, can New York even make this matchup competitive? Let’s break this one down from a single-game DFS perspective.
