NFL Daily Fantasy Sports Lineup – Week 14

Blah.  Fair to middling on our picks last week.  Adam Humphries continued to impress, netting 15.6 points.  Also, the Baltimore D gave us 15.  Aside from that, we didn’t get enough.  Let’s take a look at what values we can snipe this week.

Wide Receiver:  For the money, D.J. Moore looks like one of the best values of the week.  We have him grabbing at least 5 balls for 80 yards and a score against Cleveland.  There’s room for more, too, especially since he also carries the ball a couple/few times a game.  At just $6,300, he’s an easy first choice.

Tight End:  Since we’re off to a good start value-wise, we think spending at tight end makes sense.  Zach Ertz ($7,400) is going to see a ton of targets against Dallas this week and could find the end zone as a result.  Not a week to be trying to find value at this position.  We’ll take a stud here.

Defense:  They’re one of the more expensive picks this week, but the LA Chargers are too good to pass up.  We’re spending $4,600 but honestly, saving a few hundred bucks isn’t smart this week.  The Bolts could easily post 17+ fantasy points this weekend.

Running Back:  Great week to find value at this position.  There are second and even third stringers that will be getting starter-level snaps.  One such back is Justin Jackson.  And at just $4,500, he’ll allow us to “stud up” at a couple other positions.  Austin Ekeler does better as the “1B” runner, so Jackson should see a ton of snaps against the Bengals, who give up the most fantasy points to RBs.

Quarterback:  The Philly secondary is SO banged up.  Gotta think Dak Prescott will best his 270 yards and 2 TDs from a few weeks back.  At just $7,400, he represents a ton of value at the QB spot.  We will look to stack up next.

Wide Receiver:  Best WR option on the Cowboys right now is Amari Cooper ($6,900).  Cooper went 6/75 against these same Eagles last week.  That is probably the floor for Cooper this week, with 6/100/1 being our projection.

Wide Receiver:  We have over $7,600 per position so we’re not afraid to spend a bit here.  Loving Davante Adams, even at $8,700, against a weak Atlanta secondary.  Gotta think the Packers offense gets “opened up” with Mike McCarthy gone.  Adams could put up 25+ points in FanDuel scoring this week.

Running Back:  Detroit is terrible and the Cardinals really have nothing on offense except David Johnson ($7,000) and Larry Fitzgerald.  The Lions allow at least one rushing score each game and although he’s only caught 4 balls the past 3 weeks, we think Johnson will be more involved in the passing game this week.

Flex:  Going to swing for the fences here.  We’re thinking that both Charger RBs will put up points against the Bengals.  Gonna flex Austin Ekeler ($6,700), thinking he catches enough balls to put up 17-20 points.
