We have some nice overlap with this week’s targets, even if not by directly picking the same games. There is a lot to target in a busy slate, and we take a deep dive into them.
A Note from Mario: Another modest, but winning week of the over-under picks, as they 2-1 largely thanks to the Saints in Chicago. As always, I’ll list my personal favorite picks, but please do your research, and play responsibly.
In the world of daily fantasy roster construction, ‘stacking’ players from the same team can often lead to big results. In this column of games to target in Week 8, Luke and Mario will give their thoughts on a few games that are worth watching for fantasy purposes, and whether they like the value or feel the game is getting too much attention.
Luke’s Top Games to Watch
Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Tennessee Titans
This game doesn’t jump out immediately as high-scoring, but you have a pass-heavy team in the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and a team that should pass a lot this week because that’s what the matchup dictates. When you get two teams who are willing to air it out often, the chances for fireworks are significant. The good things with the Buccaneers’ offense is that you really only have to consider Chris Godwin and Mike Evans as those two dominate targets in this offense. With that said, if OJ Howard were to miss this game, Cameron Brate is a worthwhile flier at tight end. The Titans’ offense looked like it had a real passing game last week, and given a matchup against this Tampa Bay defense, that should continue this week. The Buccaneers have allowed the fewest rushing-yards-per-game this season, but the most passing-yards-per game, so consider that a matchup worth targeting. There is a lot of value to be had with the trio of Titans receivers, and possibly Jonnu Smith if Delanie Walker were to miss this game.
