NFL DFS, 2020: TOP FANDUEL, DRAFTKINGS TOURNAMENT PICKS, ADVICE FOR NFL WEEK 8 DFS FROM A DAILY FANTASY PRO
DFS millionaire Mike McClure shares his top NFL Week 8 DFS lineups for Week 8.
Before setting your NFL DFS lineups for Week 8 on sites like Monkey Knife Fight, you NEED to see what Mike McClure has to say.
McClure is a predictive data engineer and pro DFS player with almost $2 million in career winnings. He uses a powerful prediction model that simulates every snap of NFL action in every game, taking factors such as matchups, statistical trends and injuries into account. This allows him to find the best DFS values that he shares only with members at SportsLine.
McClure absolutely crushed his DFS picks during the the 2019 NFL regular season, finishing as high as the top 1 percent of tournaments on DraftKings and returning as much as 40x return in some higher-stakes tournaments. He then continued his roll in the postseason, cashing on every single lineup he posted for the divisional round. Anyone who has been following him has seen some HUGE returns!
In Week 7, McClure put Cardinals QB Kyler Murray in his quarterback player pool for Monkey Knife Fight. The result: Murray threw for 360 yards and three touchdowns while adding 14 carries for 67 yards and another score, piling up nearly 40 Fantasy points on both sites! Anybody who had him in their lineups was well on the way to a profitable day.
Now, he has turned his attention to the Week 8 NFL DFS player pool and revealed his top picks.
We can tell you one of McClure’s top NFL DFS picks for Week 8 is Colts running back Jonathan Taylor at $6,600 on Monkey Knife Fight and $7,300 on FanDuel. McClure’s optimal NFL DFS strategy also involves rostering Packers wide receiver Davante Adams ($9,100 on Monkey Knife Fight, $8,800 on Monkey Knife Fight), who erupted for 196 yards and two touchdowns in Green Bay’s victory against the Texans last week.
McClure is also targeting a player who could go off for MASSIVE numbers in Week 8! This pick could be the difference between winning your tournaments and cash games or going home with nothing! You ABSOLUTELY need to see who it is before locking in any lineups.

Mike’s top NFL DFS picks for Sunday:
Jamaal Williams
Tyler Lockett
Kareem Hunt
Russell Wilson
Monkey Knife Fight Lineup Core
Tyler Lockett, Jamaal Williams, Gio Bernard, Kareem Hunt
Monkey Knife Fight Player Pool
QB – Russell Wilson, Ryan Tannehill, Patrick Mahomes, Lamar Jackson
RB – Jamaal Williams, Gio Bernard, Kareem Hunt, Alvin Kamara, Myles Gaskin, David Montgomery
WR – Tyler Lockett, Davante Adams, Brandon Aiyuk, AJ Brown, DK Metcalf, Kenny Golladay, Marquise Brown, Tyler Boyd
TE – Hunter Henry, George Kittle, Will Dissly, Travis Kelce
DST – Saints, Packers, Chiefs
General QB Note: I’m mostly off of Derek Carr and Joe Burrow due to the combination of high wind (25+ sustained + rain for Carr) and higher projected ownership. The probability of both of these players being the top overall scorer at the position is relatively low, thus both players score a negative leverage rating in tournaments. It’s fine to use either in a cash game/double up format, just understand that a Carr/Burrow lineup is unlikely to win a tournament according to my simulations.
General Stacking Rules I’m using this week:
Russell Wilson with Tyler Lockett AND SF pass catcher (Kittle, Aiyuk, Bourne)
Jimmy G with SF pass catcher (Kittle, Aiyuk, Bourne) AND (Lockett or Metcalf)
Ryan Tannehill with TEN pass at least 1 pass catcher (AJ Brown, Jonnu Smith, Corey Davis) AND Gio Bernard
Patrick Mahomes with Denzel Mims
Monkey Knife Fight Lineup Core
Jamaal Williams, Kareem Hunt, Russell Wilson, Denzel Mims
