It's a packed podcast with the DFSR crew discussing some of the weird ownerships they've seen throughout the industry this season but also how it doesn't always make sense to eat the chalk in cash. At quarterback they discuss the safety in Lamar Jackson every week and maybe taking a cheap flyer on Gardner Minshew. Running back could get a little tricky with some plays in the mid-tier but Leonard Fournette is looking like a safer option. And at wide receiver they discuss some target leaders who are still coming too cheap.

START YOUR FREE TRIAL NOW! Quarterbacks Lamar Jackson FD 9000 DK 7400 Opponent BUF Proj Points FD - 24.82 DK - 24.69 There’s no safer fantasy commodity than Lamar Jackson at this point. He’s averaging the most FanDuel points per game, is second on DraftKings and his coefficient of variation (Standard Deviation/Average points) is easily the lowest among the top fantasy performances. Depending on how you look at it, he’s twice as *safe* as the next closest player this season. It’s really pretty ridiculous. Outside of the 11 point fantasy day against the Steelers he’s scored 20+ fantasy points every week this season and is in line for another good game even against a tougher Bills’ defense on the road in Buffalo. In terms of locking up a good floor, Jackson provides more safety than any other player in the game and there’s a lot to be said for that in cash games. Jameis Winston FD 7700 DK 6400 Opponent IND Proj Points FD - 20.74 DK - 21.87 Winston had a very un-Jameis-y game in Week 13 against the Jaguars. Sure, he completed 64% of his passes, but failed to go over 300 yards for the first time in seven weeks. He didn’t throw any touchdowns, but almost more amazingly he didn’t throw an interception either (though there were a few close calls). His 22:20 TD:INT rate is always going to be a concern, but he remains a volume thrower and I do like the floor in this match-up against the Colts. Indy’s been an average defense on the season, slightly better against the pass, but the Bucs come in with the fourth-highest implied point total of the Week 14 main slate. I much prefer Lamar obviously, but the savings you get on Winston might be worth it this week if some of the other positional decisions are close. Gardner Minshew FD 6600 DK 5400 Opponent LAC Proj Points FD - 16.97 DK - 17.43 Minshew will be back as the Jaguars’ signal-caller in Week 14 after Nick Foles looked every bit a piece of terrible and was subsequently benched in Week 13. Minshew came in off the bench against the Bucs and honestly didn’t look much better. But if we go back to the beginning of November, there’s a lot to like on the stat line. In five of...

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 Carson Wentz FD 7300 DK 5800 Opponent MIA Proj Points FD - 20.4 DK - 20.74 The recipe of starting quarterbacks against the Miami Dolphins this season has been, generally, a winning strategy and we have a few more weeks to put it into practice. The last two weeks have been especially great for opposition QBs with Baker Mayfield putting up 27.5 DraftKings points in Week 12 and Josh Allen going for 33.84 in Week 11. Now Wentz will get a turn. Wentz completed 73% of his passes in Week 12 against the Seahawks though threw two interceptions and missed a couple of very easy throws, one that would have almost definitely been a Miles Sanders touchdown. This is a smash spot for Wentz though and he’s the 10th most expensive QB on DK and 12th on FanDuel. It’s just too good a value considering the opponent and works perfectly for fitting in some of the very expensive skill position guys at RB and WR. Patrick Mahomes FD 8600 DK 7400 Opponent OAK Proj Points FD - 23.05 DK - 24.26 He’s listed second here only because of price. Mahomes, coming off a bye week with a fully healthy receiving corps is in a great spot to crush in Week 13. Oakland has the 29th ranked defense in DVOA this season and are coming off a week in which Sam Darnold picked them apart. Mahomes should have his way here and the Chiefs have, deservedly, the highest implied total of Sunday’s main slate at 30.5. He looked, dare-I-say-it, human against the Chargers in Week 11, but that was following a 446 yard, 3 TD performance against the Titans in Week 10. He has a 19:2 TD:INT rate on the season and even got out in the running game two weeks ago with 59 yards, his highest of the season. Other Thoughts I don’t want to run Lamar Jackson into the 49ers defense this week, but man if there was any quarterback to do it with it would be Jackson. He just continues the world crushing tour this season following a dismantling of the Rams on Monday night. We had Jameis Winston as a borderline cash play for Week 12 and he was very Jameis-y in his final line. He got to 300+ yards...

Game by Game Breakdown for Thanksgiving 2019 on FanDuel and DraftKings
Game by Game Breakdown for Thanksgiving 2019 on FanDuel and DraftKings Happy Turkey Day! We've got three real stinkers on the slate today, but we aren't worried about watching good games, we want to win some money at DFS! And even on a tough slate, that's absolutely a possibility. Let's get you in and out and back to that loving family of yours! Want access to the projections that power these picks? 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! Chicago Bears at the Detroit Lions The Bears are favored by 3 in a game with a 38.5 point total. Here's one for the ages. Driskel! Trubisky! A cheese plate, and small talk with your early guests! What more could you ask for? Still, on a three game slate we can't really just cross anything off, so let's look at a few options here. The Detroit Lions Bo Scarbrough FD 6100 DK 4700 Opponent CHI Proj Points FD - 11.15 DK - 10.82 The Lions finally seem to have made up their mind about what to do at running back, and last week Scarbrough had 19 touches for 98 yards. It just looks like they don't totally want to trust Driskel, and if that's the case he could be in line for the, ahem, Lion's share of the workload once again. The troubling thing, of course, is that the Bears have a great defense and Scarbrough himself isn't exactly amazing. On a three game slate, though, a cheap running back could be just what the doctor ordered. Marvin Jones FD 6400 DK 5300 Opponent CHI Proj Points FD - 12.53 DK - 14.67 Kenny Golladay FD 7100 DK 6100 Opponent CHI Proj Points FD - 14.82 DK - 16.98 This is as good as the getting gets from this game, at least on FanDuel. There aren't a lot of nice things to say about these two, but let's see how we do. First, the bad. Chicago is a top 6 defense by DVOA's standards. The Lions will likely be playing Jeff Driskel, and even he isn't a sure thing. Not exactly what you're looking for. On the good side, though, these two accounted for 16 of Driskel's 33 attempts last week, with Jones getting more volume and Golladay being more efficient. The big thing here is likely the price tier these guys fall into. Our lineup optimizer thinks you sort of need an extra WR in this price range, and you don't have a lot...
