2022 USFL DFS picks: Top DraftKings tournament strategy, advice for Week 8 from a Fantasy expert

SportsLine's No. 1 pro football expert and CBS Sports' Fantasy and gambling editor, R.J. White, shares his Week 8 USFL DFS strategy

The top matchup in Week 8 of the USFL season features a matchup between the 7-0 Birmingham Stallions and the 5-2 New Orleans Breakers. New Orleans quarterback Kyle Sloter leads the league in passing yards, with 1,499 and in last week's win against Michigan, he completed 62.5 percent of his passes and threw two touchdowns with no interceptions. Sloter has been strong, but he may have a difficult time maintaining his status as one of the top USFL DFS picks in Week 8 against a Stallions defense that held Pittsburgh to just 70 passing yards last week.

New Jersey continued on as another one of the league's top teams, as Darius Victor rumbled for 72 yards and a touchdown against the Tampa Bay Bandits in a 20-13 win. Victor has the fourth-most yards in the league this season, with 437, but leads the league in touchdowns, with six. Should he be the first RB choice for your USFL DFS lineups against Pittsburgh, after the Maulers gave up 200 rushing yards to Birmingham in Week 7? If you're on the hunt for Week 8 USFL DFS picks, you can't do any better than SportsLine's No. 1 pro football expert, R.J. White.

CBS Sports' Fantasy and gambling managing editor, White has delivered consistently on a high volume of picks over the long-term, returning $2,542 to $100 bettors on more than 800 against the spread picks since the start of the 2017 NFL season. It's no surprise, as White has cashed huge twice in the world's most prestigious football handicapping competition, the Las Vegas SuperContest.

He was also 16-4 on all XFL ATS picks before the league suspended operations in 2020. That included starting a 13-1 run at the start as books scrambled to correctly evaluate team quality in a league where little was known heading into the season. He also had a successful start to the 2022 USFL season, going 6-2 with his first eight USFL picks. His combination of expert pick knowledge and Fantasy background means he can find the best USFL DFS values.

Now, White has locked in his USFL DFS picks for the four-game slate in Week 8 and also is offering up his analysis.

We can tell you that White is high on Michigan quarterback Paxton Lynch, who is listed at $7,300 on DraftKings. White is also suggests stacking Lynch with running back Reggie Corbin ($6,300 on DraftKings). Corbin leads the league in rushing yards this season with 516 to go with a pair of touchdowns. He also holds the op yards per carry average, at 6.3, and finished with 108 yards on 13 carries in last week's loss to New Orleans.

White is also targeting several players who could go off for MASSIVE numbers in Week 8 USFL action! These picks could be the difference between winning your tournaments and cash games or going home with nothing! You ABSOLUTELY need to see who they are before locking in any lineups.
