My Draft Kings NFL Lineups for Week 8

Always check back at 12:15 p.m. on Sunday for any last minute changes.

Safe Lineups (50/50s)

Pos	Player	Opp	Salary
QB	Andy Dalton	Cin@Pit	$6,000
RB	Matt Forte	Min@Chi	$7,300
RB	Mark Ingram	NYG@NO	$6,400
WR	Brandin Cooks	NYG@NO	$5,400
WR	Stefon Diggs	Min@Chi	$4,800
WR	A.J. Green	Cin@Pit	$7,600
TE	M. Bennett	Min@Chi	$4,900
FLEX	Duke Johnson Jr.	Ari@Cle	$4,200
DST	Falcons	TB@Atl	$3,400

Don’t love the road game but Dalton and Green should have great games against the Steelers’ D and its struggles against the pass.  Forte contiues to quietly be one of the best backs in the league and have to love him after the bye and at home.  Ingram and Cooks should also flourish at homes.  The Giants D has been better than most expected but the Saints seem to be getting things right.

Diggs has been rolling and he should have a good day against the terrible Bears’ D.  He’s showing more and more talent every week and worth starting in all leagues at this point.  Bennett is scary since he tends to get worse later in the season but the match up is worth the risk.  Johnson should get plenty of time as the passing downs back in what I expect will be a blowout by the Cardinals.  And the Falcons are at home against a rookie QB in a game they should win handily.  I’ll take my chances they get a pick-6 here.

Swing for the Fences Lineup

Pos	Player	Opp	Salary
QB	Cam Newton	Ind@Car	$6,800
RB	Justin Forsett	SD@Bal	$6,100
RB	Todd Gurley	SF@StL	$6,300
WR	John Brown Q	Ari@Cle	$5,800
WR	Calvin Johnson P	Det@KC	$7,900
WR	Mike Wallace	Min@Chi	$4,200
TE	Greg Olsen	Ind@Car	$6,500
FLEX	Stevie Johnson	SD@Bal	$3,200
DST	Rams	SF@StL	$3,200

Newton and Olsen should continue their good seasons at home against an Indy D that I don’t think is particularly good against anything.  Forsett and Gurley both get home games against struggling teams that are making the long trek east.  Brown should benefit from being the guy not covered by Haden in Cleveland and have a huge PPR game.

Calvin Johnson has been playing great lately and should go off against a terrible KC passing D.  Wallace has played well and might have a huge game if too much attention goes Diggs’ way.  Stevie Johnson is a quality cheap play against a Baltimore team that is awful against WRs.  And the Rams get the struggling 49ers offense who look as bad as any in the league at the moment.
