Week 14 First Look: DraftKings & FanDuel NFL DFS Picks

NFL DFS Picks: Quarterback

Tua TagovailoaPriced at $5,400 and $6,600 on DraftKings and FanDuel, respectively, Tagovailoa enters Week 14 coming off his best performance to date. Last week, Tagovailoa completed 26 of 39 pass attempts for 296 yards and a score against the Bengals. Looking to Week 14, Tagovailoa should also be forced to throw in a matchup against the Chiefs. The Dolphins are 7.5-point underdogs in a game also totaled at 49.5 points. The Chiefs’ secondary is above average, but the additional volume makes Tagovailoa a strong price-adjusted DFS play.

Justin HerbertComing off his worst game of the season, Herbert enters a bounce-back spot against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 14. Averaging 293 passing yards per game, Herbert should benefit from the Chargers running more plays than any other team in the NFL. The Falcons also allow 7.6 yards per pass attempt, which ranks bottom three in the NFL. With the Chargers 2.5-point underdogs in a game totaled at 49.5 points, Herbert looks like a rebound candidate on DraftKings and FanDuel this weekend.

NFL DFS Picks: Running Back

Alvin KamaraExperiencing a revival of sorts, Kamara received 15 carries and three targets in New Orleans’ most recent game. Kamara turned this opportunity into 88 rushing and 37 receiving yards while scoring a touchdown. While Taysom Hill saps some of Kamara’s volume, he still is one of the most efficient backs in football. Positively, Drew Brees could also return this week, giving Kamara his usual target floor. Either way, the Saints enter the week as sizeable favorites over the Eagles, making a Kamara a value on the slate.

Ezekiel Elliott — While the results of Elliott’s Tuesday night matchup against the Ravens still awaiting, the veteran back enters Week 14 with a favorable price against a horrific Bengals run defense. Despite the negative game script of late, Elliott still averages 21.1 touches per game in the Dallas offense. Cincinnati allows 4.7 yards per rush attempt, which ranks fourth-worst in the NFL. With Dallas also favored, Elliott stands out at $6,600 and $7,600 on DraftKings and FanDuel, respectively.

NFL DFS Picks: Wide Receiver

Sammy WatkinsWith Watkins finally healthy, Patrick Mahomes finally has a cheap viable stacking partner. Watkins clearly is behind Travis Kelce and Tyreek Hill in the receiving corps, but he still provides a full-time player in a Mahomes-led offense. Since his return, Watkins has target counts of seven and six, providing enough upside to put into DFS lineups. With Miami on deck in a potential shootout, Watkins makes sense in Chiefs stacks on DraftKings and FanDuel.

Chris GodwinDespite getting a pin removed from his broken finger, Godwin is still expected to suit up this weekend. Simply too cheap, Godwin’s 19.9% target share paces Tampa Bay’s offense. Godwin also has 19 targets combined in his last two games, leading Tampa Bay in that span. This week, Godwin draws a favorable matchup against a depleted Minnesota secondary. The Vikings currently allow 7.2 yards per pass attempt, which ranks bottom 10 in the NFL.

NFL DFS Picks: Tight End

Hunter HenryKelce and Darren Waller on the main slate, and the two elite tight ends figure to draw the most ownership. For those looking at contrarian options, Henry could provide an avenue to success. Prior to Henry’s two-target dud last week, the All-Pro tight end had at least six targets in four straight games and no games below four targets all season. Henry and the Chargers also find themselves in a potential shootout against the Falcons. Priced at $4,400 and $5,600 on DraftKings and FanDuel, respectively, Henry is a strong Week 14 DFS play.

Logan ThomasMissing the pricing adjusted after playing on Monday Night Football, Thomas enters the Week 14 slate priced at $3,300 and $5,200 on DraftKings and FanDuel. There are not many viable punt options, so Thomas looks like the best of the bunch. Thomas has seen solid volume all year, and he finally turned nine targets into 98 yards and a score in Week 13 against the Steelers. Washington draws a neutral matchup against the 49ers this week, but price and volume keep Thomas in consideration on the Week 14 DraftKings and FanDuel main slate.
