For Week 8, here is an optimal lineup

Devising the perfect Daily Fantasy Sports strategy for the NFL can be a challenge, which is why I’m here to assist.

On DraftKings, it’s important to remember you’re playing full-point PPR with bonuses if a player surpasses 300 passing yards, 100 rushing yards or 100 receiving yards.

Here is my optimal lineup for Sunday’s $3.5 million Fantasy Football Millionaire contest, but can be utilized in other games and platforms. All prices listed are courtesy of DraftKings with a $50,000 budget.

QB: Josh Allen, Bills ($8,100): It makes sense to pay the premium for Allen against Miami (with Patrick Mahomes, Kyler Murray and Aaron Rodgers missing from the Sunday afternoon slate).

RB: Joe Mixon, Bengals ($6,900): The Jets’ run defense has given up the second-most touchdowns (11) and the third-most explosive rushing plays through seven weeks.

RB: James Robinson, Jaguars ($6,600): Starting running backs are averaging 145.4 total yards per game against the Seahawks, who have also surrendered an NFLworst 495 receiving yards to the position.

WR: DJ Moore, Panthers ($7,200): Moore has double-digit targets; this is an opportunity to buy a perceived dip because of Sam Darnold’s recent poor play.

WR: Michael Pittman Jr., Colts ($5,300): I expect a let-down for the Titans. Pittman can beat their secondary deep and provides leverage against a chalky Jonathan Taylor.

WR: Cole Beasley, Bills ($4,900): Tight end Dawson Knox is sidelined with a broken hand, which should open up plenty of intermediate targets for Beasley. The Dolphins have allowed the secondmost receptions to slot receivers this season.

TE: Mike Gesicki, Dolphins ($5,000): I’m anticipating Miami playing from behind so I’m bringing it back against my mini-Bills stack. Gesicki has at least eight receptions, 86 yards or a touchdown in four the last five games.

FLEX: Pat Freiermuth, Steelers ($3,600): The rookie’s workload should increase with Eric Ebron sidelined. Freiermuth had 58 yards on seven receptions (seven targets) against the Seahawks before the bye week.

DST: Washington Football Team ($2,100): I’m buying a defensive line that’s beginning to get its groove back against a struggling offensive line.
