It is so exciting to have real, live NFL football back in our lives. One of my favorite parts is fantasy football. One of my favorite aspects of fantasy football has become playing on DraftKings. Every week is like a new puzzle to figure out. Whether you are more of a cash game player or a tournament player, each presents a unique challenge. Let\u2019s take a look at my favorite Week 8 DraftKings plays.<\/span><\/p>\n

Week 8 DraftKings Plays<\/b><\/h2>\n

Week 7 Recap<\/b><\/h3>\n

It\u2019s always good to be completely transparent and demonstrate accountability. That\u2019s what I like to do with everything I do and that goes for fantasy football as well. Whether it\u2019s bold takes or DraftKings recommendations, I always like to keep track of wins and losses. It\u2019s good for the readers to know and helps me learn from mistakes moving forward.<\/span><\/p>\n

Looking back at Week 7, it was worse than Week 6 from a recommendations standpoint. This week only 40% of my recommendations hit the 2.5x value we look for in cash game lineups. This time the running back group led the way tied at a 71.4% success rate. Meanwhile, the tight end group brought up the rear tied at a 0% success rate. Personally, it was not a profitable week this week. We\u2019ll look to get it going even better with the picks and get back in the profits in the Week 8 DraftKings plays.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Quarterbacks<\/b><\/h3>\n

    Dak Prescott (DAL) \u2013 $6,100 v LAR<\/b><\/p>\n

    It\u2019s been a rough season so far for Dak Prescott. Until the last game, he hadn\u2019t scored 20 DraftKings points in any game this season. That all changed last game when he put up 24.9 DraftKings points. It was due to his rushing, as he added 40 rushing yards and a rushing touchdown. This <\/span>Dallas Cowboys<\/span> offense has looked out of sync so far but now they are coming off a bye week and in a nice game environment against the <\/span>Los Angeles Rams<\/span><\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n

    The Rams have been middle-of-the-road so far against opposing quarterbacks but the Cowboys do come into this one as 6.5-point home favorites. Their 26-point implied team total is one of the highest on the slate. This game is also being played in a dome, which boosts passing offenses. All of this added up makes Prescott one of the best Week 8 DraftKings plays at quarterback and a good bet to build off his season-best performance last game.<\/span><\/p>\n
