Let's get things started this week with a game that is perfect for a multi-entry game stack. There are a ton of different ways to run this one but the above stack is by far my favorite.
Let's start with the Cowboys passing game which ranks 8th in passing DVOA and 4th in passing yards per game coming into Week 14. The schedule has also been kind to them as of late facing some weaker defenses against the pass and this week is no different facing a Washington defense that ranks 30th in DVOA against the pass, have allowed the 4th most passing yards and most fantasy points to QB's, and the 6th most receiving yards and 3rd most fantasy points to wide receivers.
Prescott has been a bit inconsistent lately(under 15 fantasy points twice in the last three games) but that has helped create a buy low with the price and looking at ownership projections, he could also be outside the Top 5 this week. I love pairing him with Lamb who has been not only the most consistent of the Cowboys wideouts but also shown the most upside with 19+ DK points in five of his last seven games.
On the other side of the ball, there are multiple options and it really comes down to if you think Washington can keep this game close and I agree with Vegas that it will. This has Antonio Gibson at the top of my Washington exposure list. He comes in red-hot totaling 111 and 146 scrimmage yards in each of the last two games and has averaged 27 touches a game over the last four. The one hesitancy here is that the Cowboys rank 2nd in fantasy points against wideouts as they have allowed just six rushing touchdowns. I am not completely buying it, however, as they rank 19th in DVOA against the rush and that metric is a much better indicator, in my opinion, as it takes into account strength of schedule and many other factors.
Other players I am mixing into this game stack(in order of preference): Terry McLaurin, Amari Cooper, Michael Gallup, Ricky Seals-Jones

There is definitely some risk in this stack as Taysom Hill is dealing with a finger injury on his throwing and Kamara is back after missing four games with an MCL sprain. With the risk, however, comes some potential huge rewards and it won't break the bank either, at least on DraftKings.
The Saints were coming from behind last week which did lead to 41 pass attempts for Hill but he also added 11 rushes for 101 yards. This week, he and the Saints get a much better matchup against the Jets who rank dead last in overall DVOA and 30th in DVOA against the rush. Making the rushing situation even more dangerous is the fact Kamara is back which will force the Jets defenders to make tough decisions on almost every single play. Kamara is also an elite pass catcher which also makes this stack somewhat game script proof.
