NFL Week 14 News and Injury Updates for FanDuel and DraftKings

In case you didn’t notice, we just released our brand new NFL DFS suite of tools including full projections, optimal NFL lineups and our Player Lab, which includes filters to help you create NFL lineups for FanDuel and DraftKings for any format. It’s a set of tools well beyond anything we’ve ever had, and something we feel will help our users *ahem* tackle the NFL season.

I am going to update this article all the way until kickoff at 1PM. You can check back anytime to see who benefits due to any injury news. You can also comment or use the live chat if you have any questions.

Officially Out

A.J Green will remain out indefinitely

With Green out the last 3 games, LaFell has 25 targets, Boyd has 23 and Eifert has 20. I think all of these guys are in play this week against a poor Browns defense. You could also stack multiple receivers with Dalton and hope for a huge day. It is definitely a possibility against this team who still hasn't won a game.

Mohamed Sanu has been ruled out against the Rams

Sanu has been targeted somewhat heavily by Ryan this year, so there has to be someone that benefits here. Taylor Gabriel will likely start in his place and may receive a few more targets. More importantly, Julio Jones is questionable and that will affect a lot more. We will get to that in a bit.

Questionable

Julio Jones is considered a GTD

It is reported that Dan Quinn expect Julio to be cleared, but also said he is truly questionable. If he plays, he is a solid option in tournaments and should be extremely low owned. With Mohamed Sanu already ruled out, the absence of Jones would force Taylor Gabriel to the 1 and Justin Hardy would get the start as well. In that scenario, Hardy would be my favorite guy as Ryan has thrown to him in the past and he will be covered by the worse corner.

Jordan Reed is questionable, but expect to play

I don't have much interest in Reed this week if he plays. Coming off of a pretty big injury, his snaps will likely be limited and the Eagles are no slouches against tight ends. I would rather go with Eifert. If he misses again, Vernon Davis would get the action and would be a great play solely due to his price.

Mark Ingram missed practice and is questionable

Ingram did the same exact thing last week, and ended up getting 12 carries for a boring 53 yards. If Ingram plays this week, I have no interest in the backfield as they all take points away from each other. If Ingram misses, Tim Hightower immediately becomes one of the top value plays on the week.

Trevor Siemian took limited snaps and is questionable

The Broncos are playing the Titans 26th best pass D, so I think this is a situation we have to look at. Whoever ends up starting could end up having a big game, and will surely be low owned. I wold prefer Lynch as his price is lower, but Siemian would be worth a flier as well.

Michael Thomas practiced limited on Friday and is questionable

This one hasn't looked too good for Thomas.Before Friday, he practiced none and only took about 25% of the reps on Friday. If he ends up missing this game, I think a lot of looks go to Brandin Cooks. He would be come an elite play and I would love matching him up with Brees. Fleener and Snead will also pick up some targets.

Sammy Watkins and Robert Woods are questionable

Both of these guys are expected to play, but I could see one sitting out and one suiting up. Watkins didn't have a big game against the Raiders, but the 9 targets provide some optimism. The Steelers can give it up to wideouts and both of these guys would be in play if they suit up.

Eric Ebron and Marvin Jones Jr. are questionable against the Bears

Ebron has been off and on injured all season, so this is nothing new. He is probably truly 50/50 right now, so we will just have to wait on more news to come out. As for Jones, he is probably closer to out. He is a decent option if he plays, but I don't love him. If they both miss, Tate will get a ton of targets and Andre Roberts will get the start.

Chris Ivory is questionable after missing last week

I expect him to get a few snaps this week, which basically makes the whole backfield useless. If he is officially out, T.J. Yeldon would be the main back and would be in for plenty of touches.
