5 Daily Fantasy Football Matchups to Exploit in Week 8

Arizona Cardinals Passing Offense

You thought we were done discussing that dung hole of a game from Sunday night. Nah, fam. We just getting started.

In a lot of ways, Carson Palmer's season is similar to Wilson's. The general perception is that he's completely cooked, but in actuality, he truly hasn't been too terrible.

Palmer ranks 16th in Passing NEP per drop back and 13th in Success Rate of the 32 quarterbacks with at least 100 drop backs. That's not the level of efficiency he reached last year, but he also hasn't had many cake matchups. Five of his six starts have come against teams ranked 15th or better against the pass, according to numberFire's metrics, and much of his efficiency is dragged down by a four-interception game against the Buffalo Bills. In fact, if you omit that game, his Passing NEP per drop back moves up to 0.22, which would rank ninth in the league.

As strange as this will sound given what they did last year, the Carolina Panthers will be one of the better matchups Palmer has had this year. They currently rank 22nd in Adjusted Defensive Passing NEP per play, showing that their days of domination with Josh Norman and company are firmly in the past.

The Panthers have already allowed two separate quarterbacks to finish as the top-scoring weekly fantasy option at the position this year, and an additional quarterback logged a top-10 finish. Who was that guy? That was Blaine Gabbert, playing on the road in Carolina and tossing a pair of touchdowns. Palmer may not be what he was last year, but we'll go out on a limb and say he's likely better than Blaine freaking Gabbert.

Palmer's $7,300 price tag on FanDuel is a bargain, and he's not the only underpriced option on the team. Larry Fitzgerald -- he of the 25.8% target market share and 32.1% red-zone target share -- is just $7,000. He's great for cash, but Fitzgerald has upside for tournaments, as well.

Assuming he's fully over his leg injuries, John Brown would also be in consideration. Brown had a 24.5% target market share in the four games prior to his injury, and he has the big-play ability that you love in a GPP. Get a piece of Brown before the price adjusts for his new-found (and hopefully sustainable) health.
