The 2026-27 NFL season is here. One of DraftKings’ more unique features this season is Pick6 Fantasy Football!
Here are my top Pick6 plays for the Week 8 Sunday slate.
DraftKings Pick6 Picks: Best NFL Plays for Sunday in Week 8
Josh Allen More Than 0.5 Rushing + Receiving Touchdowns
Josh Allen is a rushing touchdown machine. He is tied for the NFL lead with eight rushing touchdowns this season. He now ranks 16th on the NFL’s all-time rushing touchdown list. Allen typically reserves his legs for the biggest games. He often rushes for touchdowns in playoff games and matchups against teams like the Rams, Chiefs and Ravens. The last time he faced the Ravens was in the 2024-25 AFC Divisional Round, in which Allen rushed for two touchdowns. This game should be a back-and-forth duel between two former MVP quarterbacks. There should be plenty of scoring opportunities on both sides, and Allen should account for at least one of those touchdowns with his legs.
Kyle Pitts Sr. More Than 3.5 Receptions
Kyle Pitts is playing great football over the past few weeks. He is finally looking like the elite tight end that Falcons fans have been yearning for since he was drafted. Over his last three games, Pitts has four total touchdowns. He has been a steady option for Michael Penix Jr. during that stretch. While Bijan Robinson runs the ball brilliantly and Drake London stretches the field, Kyle Pitts is the intermediary option in the passing game.
Pitts has five receptions in each of his past three games. He should hit that number again in this game. The Buccaneers have an elite rushing defense and they should sell out to stop Bijan Robinson. That should lead to Pitts getting plenty of targets in the intermediate passing game, allowing him to clear this number for the fourth straight week.
Tony Pollard More Than 65.5 Rushing Yards
Tony Pollard should be in for a big game against the Bengals. Tyjae Spears is out for the Titans, so Pollard should get almost all of the carries. Tennessee should also lean heavily on the run game this week. Carnell Tate is out for this game, and he has been the only real threat in the passing game for the Titans this season. This is also a tough road test against a good Bengals team. The Titans’ best chance at winning this game would be running the football and keeping the ball away from Joe Burrow.
Pollard is coming off his best game of the season. Pollard carried the ball 25 times for 129 yards and three touchdowns last week against the Browns. He should keep that momentum going against the Bengals. Cincinnati ranks 27th in the NFL in defensive EPA/rush. Pollard should break a few long runs in this game and get over this number.
