Quarterback Patrick Mahomes FD 8500 DK 8000 Opponent LVProj Points FD - 26.35 DK - 26.96 After stumbling some to start the season, the Chiefs have turned things around of late, winning their last five in a row against a more difficult part of their schedule overall. Mahomes has been up and down from a fantasy perspective, throwing for fewer than 300 yards in all but one of the last six games, with no touchdowns in the last two. The price hasn’t dipped as much as we would like on the back of these weaker performances, but I also don’t think we need to read all that much into them either. This is a decent enough matchup against the Raiders who are about league average against the pass (worse against the run). Fire up Mahomes here with the idea that the touchdowns come back around. Taysom Hill FD 7700 DK 5600 Opponent NYJProj Points FD - 22.59 DK - 23.27 We are in an interesting spot with Hill here. On the one hand, there’s his hand. He’s dealing with a finger injury that’s definitely affecting his ability to throw. So on that front, not good. On the other hand, he’s coming so, so cheap on DraftKings and has shown the ability to make up for a lot on the ground in the run game. Last week, he ran 11 times for 101 yards. Sure, he completed less than 50% of his passes, but also managed a couple of TDs through the air. On DK, in the mid-$5K range I think you just have to play him against the Jets and hope he racks up a ton of yards with his legs. Running Back Javonte Williams FD 6700 DK 5900 Opponent DETProj Points FD - 20.56 DK - 22.24 With Melvin Gordon out of the lineup, it was all Javonte Williams for the Broncos. Sure, they lost to the Chiefs, but for our purposes, we don’t care all that much about the outcome. Williams played 78% of the snaps, and got 32 total looks with 23 carries and nine targets. That’s elite (elite!) usage and this week gets a much better matchup. Denver is -8 home favorites against the 29th defense in the league in the Lions. This is a smash spot again for Williams if Gordon...

Daily Fantasy Football Cash Game Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings Week 14
Daily Fantasy Football Cash Game Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings Week 14 Welcome to week 14! This week it's not a question of if we can find any cheap plays, it's which ones to prioritize.

We've got you completely covered. Quarterback Ben Roethlisberger FD 8600 DK 6800 Opponent OAK Proj Points FD - 24.38 DK - 24.2 There are a lot of good quarterbacks in great match-ups this week, and it's going to be tough to pick between them. Last week we recommended paying up for Patrick Mahomes in this match-up, and it paid off handsomely. This week? Our system is leaning toward Big Ben. The Raiders have redefined what it means to be a bad passing defense this season. The 8.7 yards per attempt they've allowed is dead last in the NFL, and to put that number into context, Tom Brady has never had a single season where he was that effective through the air. Peyton Manning only had one. No quarterback in history has averaged throwing for that many yards per attempt for their career. You get the picture: the Raiders are bad against the pass. The Steelers, meanwhile, have been moving more in the direction of the pass. They've played a lot of weird game scripts recently, but on the season Roethlisberger still has a median passing attempts of 45.5. With Conner struggling on the ground, it's hard to imagine Ben not going off here once again. I'm happy to play him in all formats. Jameis Winston FD 7700 DK 6200 Opponent NO Proj Points FD - 20.83 DK - 21.25 2/3 of all cash game players played Winston on FanDuel last week, and they weren't disappointed. Winston put up a very efficient 20/30 for 249 yards and 2 touchdowns last week, and chipped in 48 yards on the ground as well. He had 18 fantasy points at half time, and there was room for a lot more there. This week he'll be in arguably a better match-up against New Orleans. He didn't get the start in the Bucs first game...
