DraftKings players get a key boost at quarterback in Week 8 with Lamar Jackson back in the mix after sitting out the last three games with an ankle injury. His price comes at a discount this week, and the matchup lines up nicely against Buffalo.
The Bills are giving up 22.3 FPPG to opposing quarterbacks, which ranks fourth-most in the league, and Jackson has already handled them well before. In his last meeting with Buffalo, he posted 29.4 Fantasy points.
Jackson is also paired with Zay Flowers, giving the Ravens stack some natural correlation. Flowers draws a Buffalo pass defense that allows the most Fantasy points to opposing receivers, and he has been the clear focal point of Baltimore’s passing game with 53 targets, the most on the team by a wide margin. He has also topped 12.7 PPR points in every game this season.
At running back, Tuten looks lined up for another productive day against an Indianapolis team that just traded defensive tackle DeForest Buckner. The Colts matchup is already attractive, and Tuten has been steady enough to trust, with five straight games of at least 11 Fantasy points. The Jaguars also have the edge of history on their side here, having won 11 straight home games against the Colts in the sunshine state.
Rhamondre Stevenson stands out as well, especially with the Patriots dealing with injuries at skill positions. A.J.
Brown and TreVeyon Henderson are questionable for the divisional matchup with Miami, and Stevenson appears positioned to keep a major role no matter what. He has played at least 60% of the snaps in four straight games, and three of those came with 17.5 PPR points or better.
At tight end, Hunter Henry could be headed for a bigger workload if Brown is limited or unavailable. Henry has been rolling lately with four straight games of 11.2 PPR points or more, and that kind of recent form makes him an appealing option if the Patriots need him more heavily in the passing game.
Drake London is another receiver worth building around now that Michael Penix Jr. is under center. In five games with Penix Jr., London has reached at least 12.2 PPR points every time, and he saw 10 targets in four of those five contests. That volume has made him a stable choice.
There’s also a path for Robinson to benefit this week with Carnell Tate out, leaving a WR1 opening for him to fill. Robinson has already shown what he can do in that spot, with his best Fantasy outings coming when Malik Nabers was out and Robinson was operating as the top option for the New York Giants.
Titans offensive coordinator Brian Daboll was the Giants head coach during that stretch, so he knows how to use Robinson in that role. With Tennessee likely to be chasing points, the game script could work in Robinson’s favor.
Tee Higgins rounds out the receiving options as a strong play for Joe Burrow. He should see a solid workload against the Titans, and his ceiling is obvious after three games with 21.0 PPR points or more.
For salary relief, the Broncos D/ST stands out as one of the cheaper choices in DFS. They struggled in their first meeting with the Chiefs, but after a three-point performance last week, Kansas City could be vulnerable against a strong Denver defense.

Falcons NFC South Push May Not Bring The Deadline Move Fans Want
The Falcons are sitting at 3-4 and still close enough to the NFC South race that the trade deadline has become a natural talking point, especially for a team that has shown it can hang around without needing a full reset. But the front offices recent history suggests patience is more likely than a splashy swing, with Ian Cunningham taking a measured approach since arriving in January and keeping the focus on smaller, more manageable deals.
For Atlanta fans hoping for a headline-grabbing addition, that is the part that tempers expectations. The Falcons may explore the market if the right fit appears, but this does not look like a team eager to chase the biggest names or pay a steep price just to make noise before the deadline.

Falcons Suddenly Have A James Pearce Jr. Decision That Could Matter Fast
James Pearce Jr. is nearing a return to the Falcons after serving an eight-game suspension, with the rookie pass rusher set to finish that stretch after the upcoming game against the Buccaneers. Atlanta took him in the first round in 2025, and his absence has left the defense waiting on a player the team clearly expected to matter quickly.
Kevin Stefanski said Pearce has complied with everything required during the suspension, but the Falcons still have a decision to make once he is back in the building. The bigger question now is how much they trust him right away, especially with his legal situation still hanging over the story after the February incident involving a former partner and law enforcement.

Michael Penix Is Turning Into A Real Falcons Question Week 8
Michael Penix Jr. keeps giving the Falcons reasons to believe they may have found something real at quarterback. Since taking over in Week 3, he has settled into the job quickly, and his latest outing against the 49ers only added to the momentum around him. The performance was clean, efficient and productive, the kind of showing that tends to change the conversation around a young passer in a hurry.
Penix now has nine touchdown passes and just one interception in his stretch as the starter, and the league has taken notice. He was named NFC Offensive Player of the Week after that game, and he also landed 12th in the latest NFL.com quarterback rankings, right in the mix with some of the names Falcons fans know well. For a team still sorting out its long-term picture under center, every week like this makes the question a little more interesting. [Read more 🡒]
