Achieving success in NFL DFS requires a balance of well-known players and potential breakout talents. Some key matchups for Week 8 include the Bills taking on the Panthers, the Eagles squaring off against the Giants, and the Bears playing against the Ravens. In the afternoon session, expect action-packed games such as Cowboys versus Broncos and Buccaneers against Saints.

Core DFS Picks for Week 8

One standout choice from McClure is Bengals’ wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase. After a dominant year in 2024, racking up 127 receptions for 1,708 yards and 17 touchdowns—garnering the receiving Triple Crown—Chase continues his strong performance in 2025 with 58 catches and five touchdowns in seven games.

Another essential pick is Bijan Robinson, the Falcons’ running back. A star player in 2024, Robinson made an impressive impact with substantial rushing and receiving stats. He’s proven to be a dual threat on the field, making him indispensable to the Falcons’ strategy.
