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.

Drake Maye Just Got Another Reason To Silence NFL Doubters
Drake Maye has already given Patriots fans plenty to like, but the latest round of chatter around the league shows how much work still remains before he is viewed in the same tier as the NFLs most hyped young passers. Sports Illustrateds Albert Breer recently polled general managers, assistant GMs and coordinators on which quarterback they would rather build around for the future, and the answer leaned clearly toward Caleb Williams, a reminder of how strongly league insiders still value upside and flash.
Maye did draw support in the discussion, with some evaluators favoring his personality, sustainability and pocket presence, but the broader sentiment went the other way. Williams got the edge because of his ceiling, creativity and clutch play, which is the kind of profile that tends to carry weight in those rooms. For Maye, the challenge now is the same one facing any promising young quarterback in New England: keep stacking proof until the outside skepticism starts to look outdated. [Read more 🡒]
Patriots Just Opened The Door To A Deadline Move
The Patriots quietly created some breathing room ahead of the trade deadline by restructuring Hunter Henrys contract, a move that signals they are at least keeping their options open. Henry has been both productive and a steadying presence since signing his two-year, $16 million extension before the season, so any adjustment to his deal says as much about the teams broader plans as it does about his standing in the locker room.
For a roster still sorting out where it stands, extra flexibility matters, especially when the deadline is close enough for front offices to start weighing short-term fixes against longer-term patience. New England now has a little more room to work with, and while that does not guarantee a move, it does put the Patriots in position to explore one if the right opportunity surfaces. [Read more 🡒]
TreVeyon Henderson's Struggles Could Force A Patriots Rethink
The Patriots run game has been searching for answers, and TreVeyon Hendersons uneven second season has become part of that conversation. After arriving with plenty of expectations, Henderson has had a harder time carving out a consistent offensive role, while New England continues to look for more juice in a ground attack that has not found much rhythm.
Jeremy Springer has at least floated one possible way to get more out of Henderson: expanding his work on special teams. Henderson has shown some promise as a kick returner in practice and preseason, and the Patriots have already trimmed his offensive snaps, a sign that his role may be shifting as the staff looks for the best way to use him.
