NFL Week 8 DFS Value Plays

Week 8's value board is topped by Davante Adams, whose $3,000 salary against a 13.0-point projection gives the best return in this pool at 4.33 points per $1,000 spent. No other player on this list comes close to that efficiency, making him the clearest building block for cash-game and tournament lineups alike.

At quarterback, Drake Maye offers the strongest combination of upside and price, projected for 22.5 points at $6,500 for 3.46 points per $1,000. Geno Smith and Dak Prescott sit close behind in efficiency, while Josh Allen's 25.5-point projection is the highest of the group but comes at the steepest salary, $7,700, pushing his value rating to the bottom of this list.

That's the call from the red zone. — Rhett
