NFL DFS: Week 8 Cash Plays

With no bye in Week 8, we get a rare, uninterrupted slate for cash games. Some chalk picks stand out, especially Cade Otton and Jordan Love. Otton’s underpriced on DraftKings, making him a great choice at tight end. However, I prefer pivoting from Love to Bo Nix. Nix faces Carolina’s struggling defense and has the rushing upside I like in cash games—he’s logged 16 carries for 136 yards over the last two weeks. Plus, he’s dirt cheap, which frees up salary for premium picks at running back and wide receiver.

FanDuel pricing diverges considerably this week, so I’ve included a separate player pool for those lineups.
