Daily Fantasy Football Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings Week 14 – 12/10/17
Daily Fantasy Football Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings Week 14 - 12/10/17 We are entering the home stretch of the NFL season, with only four weeks left to go before the playoffs. There are some intriguing games this Sunday, but the totals are low across the board for the main slate. That's what happens when the Pats, Saints, Steelers, and Falcons are all playing in primetime affairs. Additionally, FanDuel has followed DraftKings' lead and left the Sunday night game off their main slate of games. Let's take a look at how Week 14 is shaping up for cash.

We've got you completely covered. Quarterback Carson Wentz FD 8600 DK 7100 Opponent LAR Proj Points FD - 20.42 DK - 21.17 This isn’t a great matchup considering the Rams come in with a top 5 defense against the pass this season but some of the quarterbacks on their schedule leave a lot to be desired. Five of the last seven weeks they’ve played Gabbert, Savage, Eli, Palmer/Stanton and Bortles. QBs I would consider “competent” (Keenum, Brees, Wilson) have rocked a 68% completion percentage against them and thrown for TDs. This is all to say, even this late in the season we can take some defensive numbers with a grain of salt if a team’s run somewhat hot in bad competition. Wentz continues making an MVP case, ranking only behind Russell Wilson in quarterback fantasy scoring and he leads the league in touchdown passes. If anything, his numbers are slightly depressed on the season because the Eagles have played in so many blowouts where Wentz was barely used in the fourth quarter. Last week, he put up 45 passing attempts as the Eagles tried coming back against the Seahawks. It didn’t work, but we could see some of the same shootout qualities in this game. It has the highest over/under (50) and scripts to stay close (LAR -2). Wentz also has a high floor because he can get out and run (30 yards rushing in each of the last two games). Alex Smith FD 8200 DK 6500 Opponent OAK Proj Points FD - 22.91 DK - 23.64 Man, what the hell with the Chiefs? The start the season 5-0, are averaging 32 points per game and Smith is looking an MVP candidate. Then over the last seven, they...

Daily Fantasy Football Injury Update and Top Stacks for FanDuel and DraftKings Week 13 – 12/3/17
Daily Fantasy Football Injury Update & Top Stacks for FanDuel and DraftKings Week 13 - 12/3/17 Welcome back fantasy football fans. Can you believe we are already in the home stretch of the regular season? It has been an odd year in a lot of ways from a fantasy perspective but with the help of our articles, podcasts, and premium tools, I hope you are having a successful season. Either way, we here at DFSR are primed to finish strong. Before jumping into my top stacks for this week, let's take a look at some of the injuries that could affect our decisions going into Sunday's action. LeSean McCoy - Didn't practice on Friday and is listed as questionable but there doesn't seem to be much concern with his availability on Sunday. Be sure to check the reports prior to lineup lock. Lamar Miller - Sat out Wednesday but returned to a limited practice on Thursday. This was to be expected on a short week and I have no doubt he will be out there on Sunday. DeAndre Hopkins - Upgraded to a full participant in practice and good to go on Sunday. Christian McCaffrey & Greg Olsen - Coach Ron Rivera said both players status will be determined on Saturday. Even if Olsen plays, I will be avoiding this week as he was absent from practice all week. Adrian Peterson - Was absent from practice all week and is questionable with a neck injury. Derrick Henry & DeMarco Murray - No injuries to report but coach Mike Mularkey told reporters he planned to continue to use his running backs in a timeshare. YAY! Amari Cooper & Michael Crabtree - Cooper was absent from Friday's practice with an ankle injury and concussion and is unlikely to play on Sunday. His teammate, Michael Crabtree, will serve his one-game suspension this week after an altercation with Aquib Talib last week. JuJu Smith-Schuster - After missing last week's game with a hamstring injury, is back practicing in full this week and will play this week in Cincinnati. Rishard Matthews - Returned to a limited practice on Friday after missing last week's game but remains questionable for Sunday. Ty Montgomery & Aaron Jones - Montgomery has been ruled out(ribs) and will miss his third straight game while Jones has resumed practice and is likely to return this week in a committee role with Jamaal Williams. Matt Forte - Questionable with a knee injury but fully expected to play on Sunday. Doug Martin - Has yet to resume practicing after sustaining a concussion last week. This brings Jacquizz Rodgers and Peyton Barber into the value running back conversation this week. Cameron Brate - Listed...

DFS NFL Talk Week 13 – Cash Game Plays for FanDuel and DraftKings 11/30/17
DFS NFL Talk Week 13 - Cash Game Plays for FanDuel and DraftKings 11/30/17 DFSR’s Doug Norrie and James Davis take to the NFL podcast discussing Week 13 cash game plays for FanDuel and DraftKings. There are a lot of close decisions this week with a number of players priced similarly with close to the same expectation. At quarterback, they discuss Tom Brady in the upper tier, Jared Goof (among others) in the middle tier and a bunch of cheap options on DraftKings. At running back, Jamaal Williams will be a chalk play if both Aaron Jones and Ty Montgomery sit again. They also look at Melvin Gordon and Todd Gurley. Wide receiver will likely be a decision between Julio Jones and Keenan Allen in the upper tier, but they also look at Cooper Krupp, Brandin Cooks and the Oakland guys without Amari Cooper and Michael Crabtree.
