SuperDraft is one of the hottest platforms in the market for DFS players. SuperDraft offers a unique twist on your traditional DFS experience with game modes like “Multiplier” and “Super 15.”

By eliminating the traditional salary cap structure and providing a points multiplier for every player on the slate, there is almost limitless flexibility when building lineups on SuperDraft. You can load up on all the studs, but their point multipliers will be low. You can balance those plays out with some long shots that could score up to 2x their fantasy points to vault you to the top of the leaderboards.

Similar to what has been provided the last six weeks, below are my top three plays that I will be anchoring my SuperDraft DFS lineups around. While there were typically five plays provided, I will be providing three plays per week while adding an “others to consider” section full of the players who round out the vast majority of my player pool.

This gives you the ability to lock in the key three and fill in around it. Below are my top three options for Week 8.

 

 

Jalen Hurts, QB, Philadelphia Eagles (@ DET)

Score multiplier: 1.2x

Throw the discussions about Jalen Hurts being a bad quarterback in the garbage, because that has not and will not matter for his stock in fantasy football and DFS, as Hurts has posted at least 21 fantasy points in every single game this season. Now, he gets arguably his easiest matchup of the season against the Detroit Lions.

The Lions currently rank bottom 10 in the league in passing yards allowed (eighth most) and passing touchdowns allowed (fourth most) while allowing the fourth-most passing touchdowns (15) in the entire league. If Hurts’ aerial production is a concern, the matchup should spell those worries.

The Lions have also forced 16 scrambles this season (third-highest mark in NFL), which can be considered a strength for a defense, but it’s also a strength for Hurts, who thrives in maneuvering out of a pocket and picking up chunk yardage with his legs. This sets up as quite literally a perfect matchup for Hurts, making his 1.2x multiplier a nice target on the Week 8 slate.

Others to consider: Patrick Mahomes (1x), Matthew Stafford (1.25x), Joe Burrow (1.4x)

Darrell Henderson, RB, Los Angeles Rams (@ HOU)

Score multiplier: 1.3x

We got burned with Darrell Henderson in a smash spot last weekend, so let’s go right back to the well in an even better spot in Week 8. Henderson and the Rams come in as the largest favorites on the board this week, as they sit as 15.5-point road favorites against the Houston Texans.

Henderson has a very obvious stranglehold on this backfield, having out-touched Sony Michel 23-9 and 18-2 over the last two weeks while logging at least 82% of the offensive snaps in both of those games. He now gets to play an almost-every-snap role against a Texans’ defense that ranks bottom-six in yards-per-attempt allowed (4.72) while surrendering the most overall rushing yards (1,020) and rushing touchdowns (12) in the entire NFL. As long as Henderson is on the field in this game, he’s bound to produce.

Others to consider: Derrick Henry (1x), Jonathan Taylor (1.25x), Joe Mixon (1.35x), D’Andre Swift (1.45x), Chuba Hubbard (1.65x), Kenneth Gainwell (1.75x)

Courtland Sutton, WR, Denver Broncos (vs. WAS)

Score multiplier: 1.4x

Courtland Sutton won’t be an incredibly popular option this week, as Broncos receivers are never priorities in DFS, but they find themselves in a massive ceiling spot against the Football Team this week.

He comes into this game as the team leader in target share (23.29%) and air yard share (39%) and should have no issue building on these metrics against the Football Team. Through seven games this season, they’ve allowed 19 receiving touchdowns (the most in the NFL) while ranking top-five in terms of highest aDOT allowed (9.28 yards). Given the voluminous role that Sutton already has in this offense, the Football Team’s weakness should only highlight his downfield strengths, represented by his aDOT, making his ceiling one to target at 1.4x this week.

Others to consider: Stefon Diggs (1.2x), Deebo Samuel (1.3x), DJ Moore (1.35x), A.J. Brown (1.4x), Mike Williams (1.45x), Tee Higgins (1.55x), Cole Beasley (1.55x), DeVonta Smith (1.6x), Emmanuel Sanders (1.65x)
