DraftKings DFS Quarterbacks for Week 14
Andy Dalton (vs PIT, $6,600)
Andy Dalton, after a few questionable games, looks to be back on track. He is one of the most consistent quarterbacks in the league in terms of fantasy production and he should continue to play well this week against the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Steelers are ranked near the bottom against opposing quarterbacks, and Dalton will be able to take advantage of that. Last game, against the Cleveland Browns, he scored over 20 fantasy points and only attempted 19 passes. The Steelers should make this game a lot more interesting, and Dalton is going to have to throw the ball to keep the Cincinnati Bengals ahead. Dalton is about as consistent as it gets, but he also has upside due to his great matchup. Use him in any format.
Jameis Winston (vs NO, $5,500)
Jameis Winston gets a fantastic matchup against the New Orleans Saints this week, who are one of the worst teams in the league against the pass. Winston has been underpriced this entire season, as he has been hovering around 20 fantasy points per game. A few games ago, he threw for five touchdown passes against the Philadelphia Eagles. The last time he played the Saints, he looked solid, but that was at the beginning of the season. Rookie quarterbacks tend to play better at the end of the season, for obvious reason, and that means that Winston should be able to score 20 plus fantasy points rather easily. The Tampa Bay Bucs and the New Orleans Saints are both going to score early and often, so this is a great game to target this week.
DraftKings DFS Running Backs for Week 14
LeSean McCoy (at PHI, $6,100)
LeSean McCoy finally gets a revenge game against the Philadelphia Eagles, and he is most likely ready to show the world that signing both Ryan Mathews and DeMarco Murray to replace him this offseason was a bad move. McCoy has looked solid so far this season when he wasn't dealing with nagging injuries. In his last four games, he has really played well, and he should continue to play well against an Eagles team that prior to the win against the New England Patriots was on the verge of falling apart. The win against the Patriots was a fluke, and Tom Brady literally had no one to throw the ball to. The Bills should be able to shut down the Eagles' offense, and McCoy will be used to run out the clock. If he finds the end zone this week, something he hasn't done great so far this season, McCoy should easily crush value.
James White (at HOU, $4,100)
The New England Patriots' offense is about to collapse due to poor play from the healthy wide receivers. There are not many healthy wide receivers on the Patriots teams, but the ones that are apparently do not know how to catch. James White, on the other hand, looks like a wide receiver last week with 10 catches for 115 yards and a touchdown. He only rushed the ball twice, but when a player is that involved in the passing attack, rushing doesn't really matter. White will continue to be involved in the passing attack, as the Patriots main offensive weapons - Rob Gronkowski and Julian Edelman - will likely miss this week against the Houston Texans as well. Use White in tournaments, as he is too risky to trust in cash games.
DraftKings DFS Wide Receivers for Week 14
Allen Robinson (vs IND, $8,000)
Allen Robinson is proving to the world this season that he can be trusted as a legitimate number one wide receiver option. Last game against the Tennessee Titans, who happen to have a solid pass defense, Robinson caught 10 balls for 153 yards and three touchdowns. This totaled 46.3 fantasy points. The ridiculous part about this past week is that Robinson could do it again this week against the Indianapolis Colts. The Colts are one of the worst pass defenses in the league, and Robinson has been rather consistent of recent. It is likely that he will be targeted heavily, and the Jacksonville Jaguars will need to throw him the ball early and often to win this game. Even with his insanely high price tag, continue to use Robinson this week.
Brandin Cooks (at TB, $6,200)
Brandin Cooks had a miserable start to the season, but it looks like he has finally turned things around. Aside from his poor performance against the Houston Texans two weeks ago, in his last four games he has been solid. Last week against the Carolina Panthers, who are one of the best defenses in the entire NFL, Cooks caught six balls for over 100 yards and a touchdown. He has four touchdowns in his last four games, and it looks like Drew Brees is finally starting to trust him in the red zone. His price tag is still sort of cheap, so he can be trusted in both 50/50 contests and tournaments. The Tampa Bay Bucs are going to pass all over the Saints, but the Saints should be able to return the favor. This game will end up being a shoot out, which will greatly help Cooks this week.
DraftKings DFS Tight Ends for Week 14
Greg Olsen (vs ATL, $6,900)
Greg Olsen is one of the most consistent tight ends in the league and this week he gets a great matchup against the Atlanta Falcons, who are one of the worst defenses in the league against opposing tight ends. Last week against the New Orleans Saints, Olsen caught nine balls for well over 100 yards. If he can find the end zone this week he is going to crush value, as he should see similar results to last week. Cam Newton loves targeting Olsen, as he is the only reliable option Newton really has. Look for Olsen to continue to impress this week.
Scott Chandler (at HOU, $3,800)
Rob Gronkowski is likely out again this week, which means that Scott Chandler will start again. Tom Brady loves throwing to the tight end position, especially in the red zone. Chandler has a touchdown in two straight games now, and he should extend that streak to three against the Houston Texans. Everyone will have Chandler this week, but that does not mean you should avoid him. I'll personally have him in about 90 percent of my lineups.
