Welcome to Week 8 of the 2020 NFL Season! Each week, we'll be bringing you our famous NFL DFS Cheat Sheet with expert research and picks for cash games and GPPs. Here are a few notes about the sheet.
- The "fantasy points allowed rank" uses data from the 2020 season only. This number reflects how a player's opponent ranked in fantasy points allowed to their specific position. The lower the number, the better the matchup.
- The "Defense vs. Pass" and "Defense vs. Run" rankings have been replaced with "Opponent Run/Pass DVOA." DVOA is a stat created by Football Outsiders that stands for Defense-adjusted Value Over Average and takes into account the quality of the previous offensive opponents (and is a better metric in my opinion to use).
- Targets/game and touches/game columns for all offensive players are from 2020 only. I have eliminated this stat for quarterbacks.
- A play labeled "strong" is playable in all formats. "Slate-breakers" are some of my favorite GPP targets for upside or reduced ownership.
- Weather, Vegas, and risk columns will all be updated during the week to reflect injury info, weather info, and the most recent Vegas info.

Please note that these are sample lineups we provide as a tool for you to use. They are designed to give you building-block options as you go about choosing your own lineups, but in no way can we guarantee success. Be sure to examine the latest injury updates, Las Vegas projected game totals, and late scratches before finalizing your lineups to ensure the players you are choosing are active on game day.
