Daily Fantasy NFL GPP Leverage Plays for FanDuel and DraftKings – Week 14
Daily Fantasy NFL GPP Leverage Plays for FanDuel and DraftKings - Week 14 The 2020 NFL season is now in full swing and the DFSR team has covered in every area. Earlier in the week, we covered Cash Game Plays, our Top Bets, and looked at Injury Report. Now let's take a look at a few possible low owned GPP plays based on some of the industry buzz and ownership projections. Keep in mind, these are not safe plays and are generally very boom or bust.

QB/WR Stack The Chalk - Patrick Mahomes/Tyreek Hill, Justin Herbert/Keenan Allen, Aaron Rodgers/Davante Adams The Pivot Kyler Murray FD 8100 DK 7200 Opponent NYG Proj Points FD - 21.88 DK - 22.63 DeAndre Hopkins FD 8200 DK 7600 Opponent NYG Proj Points FD - 16.25 DK - 19.94 Christian Kirk FD 5500 DK 4700 Opponent NYG Proj Points FD - 6.89 DK - 8.46 While I will likely have heavy exposure to the chalk stacks above as they are all in great spots, I love pivoting the Cardinals in bigger GPP's like the Milli Maker. Going off recency bias, you likely think I am crazy here but going off the beaten path can often create a very unique core that would allow you to solo take down a GPP. Kyler has struggled to get the yardage and production we were accustomed to seeing early in the season but is coming off a stretch of three games in which he faced the Rams and Patriots which are tough pass defenses and an improved Seahawks pass defense. That stretch of below-average performances have helped lower his price on both sites and we have seen him hit 6x value on DK at these prices a few times already. It helps he has one of the best wideouts in the game to throw to and despite Hopkins showing a ton of frustration, he still put up 19 points last week and like Murray, his price is down leading to big PTS/$ upside. If you want to go even lower owned with this stack, roll out Christian Kirk. He is more of a deep shot threat and doesn't see the target share to make you feel warm and fuzzy but is most likely 1-2% owned and with a high 13.0 aDOT, he only needs a couple catches to crush his value. Looking at the matchup, the Giants have been better as of late during their four-game winning streak but...

James and Doug are back to break down every game on the main slate of FanDuel and DraftKings for week 14. As is typical in 2020, this week has gotten a lot more interesting as time has gone on. We have a number of wide receivers in Carolina headed to the COVID-IR, which has opened up some value there. Christian McCaffrey has been ruled out, which opens up Mike Davis as a value option. There are some core strategic discussions for this week as well. If we can only pay up at one spot, should we pick Davante Adams or Derrick Henry? Is it reasonable to run Devontae Booker out there again if Josh Jacobs were to miss another week? Can we really trust Aaron Jones in a great match-up with Detroit given that Jamal Williams is still lurking? And what do we make of running backs who could be poised for a lot of opportunity in potentially weird game scripts, like Myles Gaskin, James Robinson, or Dalvin Cook? This is a tricky week, so make sure to tune in as the DFSR team breaks it all down. Love the DFSR podcast? Go ahead and subscribe and listen wherever you get your daily podcasts.

Week 14 NFL Betting Picks and Strategy 12/10/20
Week 14 NFL Betting Picks and Strategy 12/10/20 We are starting Week 14 off with some action on the Thursday night game between the Rams and the Patriots. Los Angeles RamsOpponent NERams -4.5 The Patriots are coming off a massive, 45-0 stomping of the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 13. And they have played better of late, winning four of their last five. But two of those wins were against a couple of the worst teams in the league, the Chargers and the Jets. They also somehow dropped one to the Texans. And of course, they still own a bottom-third defense. The Rams are an incredibly balanced team on the season. They rank 4th in offensive DVOA and 5th on defense. And the best part of their offensive game, running the ball, lines up well against the Patriots’ biggest deficiency: stopping the ground game. The Patriots rank 28th against the rush on the season. It stands to reason Sean McVay and company will grind down New England with the rush. All season, New England has tried to grind down teams with their own running game, trying to use Cam Newton’s legs while also leaning on guys like Damien Harris. And of late it’s worked having won four of their last five games. It hasn’t felt great (ever) betting against Bill Belichick, but let’s do it here. WIN New Orleans SaintsOpponent PHISaints -7 The Saints head into Philadelphia this week with at least one more game of Taysom Hill under center. In the last three weeks, Hill has gone 3-0 though admittedly it wasn’t the toughest run of competition. They beat the Falcons twice and the Denver practice squad once. That being said, it doesn’t get much harder this week against the Eagles and Jalen Hurts’ first start. On the Hill side, there hasn’t been much of a drop-off in the offensive efficiency for the team and though the offense looks different, they’ve still managed to put up points relatively speaking. Meanwhile, the Eagles have struggled this season (understatement) and are now moving to a rookie quarterback in Jalen Hurts. Though Hurts did put tip yards through the air in his Week 13 debut, he was incredibly inefficient going 5-12. The Eagles likely reduce some of their sack issues, but it’s hard to imagine the offense taking a big leap here. New Orleans has the second-best defense in the league and should take advantage of Hurts’s inexperience. Indianapolis Colts Opponent LVColts -3 Though the Colts and the Raiders are only separated in the standings by one game (Indy 8-5, LV 7-5) the seasons have been very different on paper. The Colts have outscored opponents by 55 points while...
DFS NFL Podcast – Week 14 cash game podcast for DraftKings and FanDuel
DFS NFL Podcast - Week 14 cash game podcast for DraftKings and FanDuel Enjoy our week 14 NFL cash game podcast, where Doug and James tell you all you need to know about the cash game plays on the main slate for NFL DFS on FanDuel and DraftKings. Now’s your chance to get DFSR PRO, which will give you access to our NFL, NHL and NBA optimizers and our new player lab! Get started for free by clicking the button below. START YOUR FREE TRIAL NOW! James and Doug are back to take an early look at cash game plays for week 14 on FanDuel and DraftKings. It's a weird week for DFS, with very little value to support paying up at some key positions. Doug and James break down how lineups might look different this week than usual. Can we consider going cheap with Jalen Hurts on DraftKings, or should we just pay up for a safer option like Russell Wilson? Running back is odd as well, with Derrick Henry being the obvious big money play, and a bunch of question marks after that. We have James Robinson and Myles Gaskin, but both of them are 7+ point underdogs. Aaron Jones has a great projected game script, but he's likely in a timeshare once again. We're basically just hoping for value to crop up later in the week at this point. Wide receiver is the first position that presents us with exciting options, with both Michael Thomas and Brandon Aiyuk looking comically under-priced at this point. The position rounds out nicely with the Houston situation, and even Corey Davis is AJ Brown were to miss this week. At tight end, we're basically deciding between Travis Kelce, Mike Gesicki, and possibly Anthony Firkser. Right now it looks like our optimizer is prioritizing Kelce, but that could change as the week develops. Love the DFSR podcast? Go ahead and subscribe and listen wherever you get your daily podcasts.

Daily Fantasy Football Cash Game Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings Week 14

For a limited time we're offering a free one week trial to all the sports that we cover - that's optimal lineups for NFL, NBA, NHL, and MLB - for the same low price. Get started now! START YOUR FREE TRIAL NOW! Quarterbacks Russell Wilson FD 9000 DK 7900 Opponent NYJProj Points FD - 24.27 DK - 24.76 After throwing for touchdowns on what seemed like every pass to start the season, Wilson has slowed down considerably over the last few games. In his last five, he has only six total touchdowns and five interceptions. The Seahawks are 2-3 in that stretch. But this is a bounce back opportunity against the Jets who’ve been destroyed through the air this year. They rank dead last against the pass and allow the second-most yards per pass attempt. They’ve allowed more than 25 DraftKings points to QBs in four of the last five weeks. This is a smash spot for Wilson who remains expensive but is still a cash game play this week. Taysom Hill FD 7700 DK 6600 Opponent PHIProj Points FD - 21.83 DK - 22.5 It looks like Drew Brees is still anoter week from returning meaning Taysom Hill will spend another game under center. Hill is QB6 in FanDuel over the last three weeks and that includes a game against Denver in which the Saints took their foot completely off the gas in the second half. In the last three weeks, he’s averaged 11 carries and 59 yards on the ground, scoring four touchdowns along the way. And he’s been efficient through the air when asked to put the ball up, completing 68% of his passes, finally getting his first throwing touchdown last week. The Eagles defense ranks 15th on the season, but are much worse against the pass at 24th in DVOA. This is still a fine time to grab Hill who has such a high floor because of the rushing ability. Jalen Hurts FD 6600 DK 5100 Opponent NOProj Points FD - 15.69 DK - 16.63 Let’s do this thing, shall we? Hurts will take over for Carson Wentz a week after it was speculated he’d take the reins for Philly. But after Wentz struggled once again, Hurts came in against the Packers and Doug Pederson waited only a day to name him the starter for Week 14. Hurts was inefficient, going 5-12 but did throw for 109 yards and a touchdown. He added, almost more importantly, 29 yards on the ground on five carries. It’s the rushing ability at this price point on DraftKings...
