With no bye weeks or Monday night doubleheaders, we have a full lineup this weekend and there are plenty of ceiling plays at wide receiver. After a disappointing performance from many WRs last week, this is the perfect opportunity for recovery for those who underperformed. Additionally, the number of injuries across all teams is creating new opportunities for value, and some offenses have a lot of uncertainty that could shift the situation.

Vanek’s Views: DraftKings NFL DFS Tips for Week 8 WRs

Bo Nix ($5,600, QB, Denver Broncos)

Devaughn Vele ($3,400, WR, Denver Broncos)

The Panthers defense has been terrible this season, and I think it’s smart to have a Broncos player in the lineup this weekend. There are two solid options for stacking: either pair Bo Nix with a wide receiver or go with Javonte Williams and the Broncos defense over Bryce Young.

For me, Nix stands out in our predictions by over 20 points. For that price I can afford cleats from the other games this weekend. The Panthers offer a lot of single-high coverage and I’m buying Vele’s increased effort now that Josh Reynolds is out. I also think Jaycee Horn will likely shadow Courtland Sutton, and Horn tends to do better with bigger-bodied receivers than the quicker, more skilled ones. Vele has impressed with his playing time; For someone who hasn’t played much this season, being on the list of targets against single-high coverage is impressive. He also posted a route run rate of over 60% when active.

While Javonte and Defense are solid plays, I lean towards the stack because it gives me better value and allows me to make some of the best plays on the list. Also, don’t forget that Nix has been running more this season and has performed really well in the last few weeks.
