Welcome to the Game Environment series. This series will provide several weekly games to target and fade, based on macro-level factors that impact fantasy production. For more on these factors, click here. We recommend using this in conjunction with our micro-level analysis, including the Buy Low Report, the Strength in Numbers series, our quarterback, kicker, tight end, and defense streaming articles, and the slate of DFS analysis we provide.

Week 8 Review

Targets

49ers at Seahawks
Titans at Bengals
Colts at Lions

Low-owned Game Stack

Jets at Chiefs

The Titans were a huge disappointment, and Ryan Tannehill flopped as my favorite DFS play this weekend. However, each of the other games offered some fantasy goodness. Russell Wilson continued to cook, and DeeJay Dallas provided elite fantasy production in the depleted Seahawks backfield. The Lions didn’t fully uphold their end of the bargain, but the over hit regardless. Perhaps most importantly, the Chiefs-Jets game was an ideal DFS target. As predicted, a Patrick Mahomes double stack brought back with Denzel Mims was a great combination, and the winner of the Draftkings Millionaire Maker played that exact stack.

Fades

Saints at Bears
Patriots at Bills
Vikings at Packers

Both the Saints and Bills games grinded their way to decent fantasy days, hitting the over. Though it is worth noting the Patriots were missing Stephon Gilmore, Stefon Diggs continues to perform as an elite wide receiver, even in tough matchups. The Vikings continue to reduce play volume, but their ability to gain chunk yardage in both the run and pass game is creating quality fantasy environments. Dalvin Cook is clearly healthy and is again an elite running back down the stretch. The Packers remain pass-heavy, but slow-paced, offense. On to week 9.
