Welcome to Week 8!
Welcome back to another Sunday! Welcome back to chaos!
Week 8 NFL DFS Helper
The DFS Helper should help point you in the right direction, but feel free to reach out to me on Twitter if you have any further questions! I try to respond to tweets throughout the week; I also have a weekly Twitter Q&A each Sunday morning to answer any lineup setting questions you have. Good luck this weekend everybody!
