Week 8 of the NFL season is here, and that means we have another Super 15 slate on SuperDraft DFS.
Similar to the posts you’ve seen on social media regarding building a roster based on a $15 budget and allotted players/prices, you can now integrate this game into DFS and go head-to-head with your competition.
The Super 15 grid for Week 8 is below:
Below are my top three options to build your Super 15 lineups around.
Josh Allen, QB, Buffalo Bills ($5)
The last time Allen played the Dolphins, he and the Bills walked away with a convincing 35-0 win that didn’t force Allen to do much through the air. While this outcome is certainly possible again, it feels rather improbable. Allen has dominated the Dolphins since the start of 2018, averaging 18 more passing yards per game (247.57), 18.6 more rushing yards per game (53.43), 1.26 more passing touchdowns (2.71), and nearly eight more fantasy points per game against the Dolphins than he averages overall.
The Dolphins defense continues to struggle where Allen thrives the most, both in the slot against Nik Needham (vs. Cole Beasley) and on the deep ball, as they lead the NFL in deep pass attempts allowed (39). Everything, and I mean everything, sets up for Allen to smash here. His $5 price tag is more than warranted.
Courtland Sutton, WR, Denver Broncos ($2)
Speaking of set up for success, it’s hard to find many wide receivers in a better spot than Courtland Sutton and the Denver wideouts this week. Sutton leads all Broncos receivers with a 23.29% target share and a 39% air yards share and now gets to take on one of the leakiest secondaries in football.
The Washington Football Team’s defense has been a disaster. They’ve allowed the third-most passing yards in the NFL, the ninth-most yards per attempt, the fourth-highest aDOT (9.28 yards), and the most receiving touchdowns (19) in football. Given their weaknesses down the field, Sutton’s strengths should be on full display here.
Damien Harris, RB, New England Patriots ($1)
Harris is set up to smash in this game as long as it stays competitive. That’s a big ask, but the matchup is far too favorable to pass up for the minimum price.
The Chargers have been a run-funnel defense this season, as they’ve allowed the second-fewest passing yards on the year, but have negated that strength by allowing the highest yards-per-carry metric (5.45 yards) in football while allowing the fourth-most rushing touchdowns (8), and the second-most total rushing yards.
Harris has seen his playing time increase over the last two weeks, logging 48% (26) and 46% (35) of the snaps over that span, totaling 19 and 16 touches respectively. He continues to be the preferred early-down option and given the nature of this Chargers’ defense, it would be wise for New England to try and establish the run and get out to an early lead. If this game goes sideways, Harris could be one of the first players phased out, but there’s a massive amount of opportunity here.
Budget remaining after the core: $7
