WIN 
Well we absolutely smashed last week, so let’s keep the momentum rolling into week 8. Be sure to check out the cheat sheet. I’m the guy to help you break down your Wide Receiver decisions for your daily fantasy lineups. If you don’t know how I typically play the game, I generally like to build my lineups based on ownership. Bear in mind there will be times when we don’t have a clear picture of what that looks like until game day. With that being said, I do like to wait and see what the field is doing so this article may be a little on the later side than the standard. This way we can stay with the pack, in cash games, and pivot to those high-upside players in GPP-style contests. Don’t forget to look at the bottom of this article for other players I really like as well. Once you’re done scanning this article make sure to hop in our Discord chat to stay up to date with lineup discussions.
Let’s dive into NFL DFS Wide Receivers for this week’s main slate.
TYREEK HILL, MIA $8,500 DRAFTKINGS $8,700 FANDUEL
Hill is seeing the 2nd highest volume among all Wide Receivers, in fact in five of the 7 total games, Hill has had 12 or more targets, which are Cooper Kupp type numbers. Hill has done nothing but crush when given serious volume, averaging an whopping 32.8 FPG in his 17 career games with 12 or more targets. Hill is cheaper than Cooper Kupp, and I love the Miami stacks all around this week, so load up, and lock in on Tyreek Hill as your first roster construction move this week.
AMON-RA ST. BROWN, DET $7,100 DRAFTKINGS $7,200 FANDUEL
St. Brown should have gone back in the game last week, and absolutly screwed us, and I’m sorry for that, but this week we make it all back. We need to stay focused and not forget that St. Brown is the closest thing in fantasy to Cooper Kupp. St. Brown on average snags around 11 targets and 26 FPG over his last 8 healthy games. St. Brown is a solid play this week, and I want some exposure to him.
DJ MOORE, CAR $5,300 DRAFTKINGS $6,200 FANDUEL
You have to sit and think for a minute if people are talking about PJ Walker….DJ Moore has to be a solid play then right? Atlanta’s Defense is the top pass funnel, allowing the highest pass rate in the entire league. All teams go pass-heavy against Atlanta, and that has led to them becoming the worst defense. Everything looks to be coming together for Moore, as Carolina should be pushed towards a pass-heavy attack this week. All jokes aside PJ Walker is playing like a real NFL starter after he logged a league-leading 94.0 PFF passing grade in Week 7.
CHRIS OLAVE, NO $6,000 DRAFTKINGS $6,900 FANDUEL
Chris Olave has three games with 13 or more targets this season, the 2nd-most of any player (tied with Cooper Kupp). If you compare Olave to the five healthy main slate WRs who have as many or more double-digit target games as he does (Cooper Kupp, Justin Jefferson, Davante Adams, Tyreek Hill, and CeeDee Lamb) you’ll notice that Olave is, still a cheap option, so you’re damn right he’s going to be popular this week. He certainly is looking like a great play this week.
WANDALE ROBINSON, NYG $4,700 DRAFTKINGS $5,900 FANDUEL
Wan’Dale Robinson is by far NYG’s most-targeted player on a per-route basis, and starts falling into categories with the big dogs, like Diggs etc. If we assume there is going to be some targets headed his way this weekend, with the Giants potentially playing from behind, the price tag looks too good. Seattle has certainly been a slot funnel this season, and they rank much better against outside Wide Receivers so things are setting up for Robinson to have elite volume this week in comparison to his price tag, so it really makes for an interesting value play this week.
Honorable Mention: Jefferson, Adams, Kupp, Waddle, Lockett, Hopkins, AJ Brown, Cooks
Value Plays: V. Jefferson, Dorsett, Pickens, Osborn, Parker
