Welcome to our new series covering RIVAL Fantasy Bingo picks for NFL Week 8! We will be covering how to play and the strategies to win.
Fantasy Bingo is a spin on the classic game Bingo but the goal is to match achievements, not numbers. You will build a DFS lineup for the weekly games to unlock the achievements and fill in those squares. You can win by getting five in a row, all four corners, or an entire card blackout.
The prize pool for the weekly slate is distributed among all of the winning cards. They are broken down in two ways. 56% of the prize pool to cards that have five in a row – vertically, horizontally, and diagonally. 44% of the prize pool is for cards that just cover the four corners. Also, the prize pool gets larger as more bingo cards are entered. You can have up to 100 max cards all with different lineups created. Check here for the updated rules and scoring.

RIVAL Fantasy Bingo Strategy
With setting a lineup to similar DFS Apps, stacking is the way to go. You would want to have your choice of quarterback paired with one to two pass-catchers. For example: Brock Purdy paired with Christian McCaffrey and Brandon Aiyuk. Two high-usage weapons for Purdy. You can always run it back with one pass-catching player from the opposing team or just keep your stack naked.
Now, what to do with the other roster spots to fill? One way to go since there is no salary cap for the lineups on RIVAL Fantasy is to target the players with high usage rates. Sam LaPorta is averaging a 78% routes ran share currently through the first seven weeks. He's one to look at for Week 8. RIVAL Fantasy Bingo is all about achievements and players who can hit multiple in a game. We want to use players who can do it all.
Kickers are players too and they are on the Fantasy Bingo Cards. Not every card will be positive for them though. Your card may have a kicker that needs to miss three field goals during a game. You just won't know until your card is generated after your lineup is submitted. That is the tricky part.

RIVAL Fantasy Bingo Picks
Christian McCaffrey
With there being a possibility that Sam Darnold will start Sunday, Christian McCaffrey becomes the focus point. McCaffrey holds multi-touchdowns upside with at least one touchdown being guaranteed. He is holding a 59% rush attempt share on the season with a 72% route ran share. Being one of Brock Purdy's favorite targets, we can expect Darnold to make him his safety net also on Sunday if he starts. With a projection line of 86 rushing yards and 32.8 receiving yards, fading Christian McCaffrey for your bingo card doesn't seem ideal.
A.J. Brown has now recorded five straight games of 125 receiving yards or more and now gets another good matchup versus the Washington Commanders. The Commanders rank 25th on defense when it comes to guarding opposing wide receivers. For Brown, he is coming off of his highest target share of the season with 48% in Week 7. On the season, he sits at 32%, leading the Philadelphia Eagles receiving core. Brown has a projection line of six receptions for 101 receiving yards. Brown continues to be unstoppable and unguardable with a good possibility of continuing the streak of 100 receiving yards or more.
Robert Saleh and the New York Jets have stood by their words and Breece Hall has been unleashed. Hall had a 76% rush attempt share in Week 5 and a 63% share in Week 6, controlling the entire backfield. He recorded his best output in Week 5 versus the Denver Broncos with 22 carries for 177 rushing yards and one touchdown. While Week 6 wasn't the same, he still had 39 rushing yards on 12 carries with one score. He also made an impact in the passing game with five receptions for 54 receiving yards. Fresh off of a bye week, Hall will go up against the New York Giants run defense which is currently ranked 21st in the league.
