Best Daily Fantasy Picks: Arizona Cardinals vs Minnesota Vikings - Week 8

The Arizona Cardinals will face off against the Minnesota Vikings for their Week 8 NFL matchup.

While there have been high hopes for the Vikings over the years, they are going above and beyond this season. Entering Week 8 with a record of 5-1, they're one of four teams with one loss or less about to take on a struggling Arizona team that 1 should stay put in the loss column.

The Cardinals are not having the season they would have hoped for. The last few years, Arizona started the year strong before faltering towards the end of the regular season. Maybe they're switching things up, but they come into Week 8 a game under .500.

Arizona Cardinals vs Minnesota Vikings Match Details

Fixture: Arizona Cardinals @ Minnesota Vikings

Date & Time: Sunday, October 30; 1:00 pm EDT

Venue: U.S. Bank Stadium, Minneapolis, Minnesota

Arizona Cardinals vs Minnesota Vikings #1 Player to Target - Justin Jefferson

This is a chalky pick, as Justin Jefferson is the second most expensive receiver. However, he should have one crazy game. Arizona has one of the five worst pass defenses in the league, and as great as Jefferson has been playing, he should record some season-high stats here.

In week 2 against Green Bay, Jefferson had two touchdowns on 184 receiving yards. That resulted in 42.2 DK fantasy points. He should have a week like that here. Arizona could keep it competitive, so Minnesota should continue to throw the ball most of the game, giving Jefferson plenty of opportunities to come up big for his team and fantasy owners.

Arizona Cardinals vs Minnesota Vikings #2 Player to Target - Kirk Cousins

If you're going to play Justin Jefferson, you may as well handcuff Kirk Cousins to him. As said earlier, this game could be close, so Cousins should be throwing for a large percentage of the game. He's a great value pick compared to some of the other guys available in this slate.

Arizona Cardinals vs Minnesota Vikings #3 Player to Target - Kyler Murray

Both QBs in this game are fine options. Murray has more upside, while Cousins is the value pick. Both guys should be slinging it in a tight competition. While Cousins is the safe pick, Murray could end up being the higher scoring QB on the day.
