Daily Fantasy Football Top Stacks for FanDuel and DraftKings Week 14 – 12/10/17
Daily Fantasy Football Top Stacks for FanDuel and DraftKings Week 14 - 12/10/17 Welcome back fantasy football fans. For most season-long players, it's the opening week of playoffs and for those of you missed the playoffs, welcome to daily fantasy football where the fun never ends! It's Week 14 is upon us and the matchups are getting tougher as the playoffs are approaching and it shows as there are no Vegas total over 50 this week. Before digging into the top stacks for GPP's, let's take a look at some of the injury news that could affect our decision making. Amari Cooper - He cleared the concussion protocol this week but is still dealing with an ankle injury and has yet to resume practicing. He is doubtful to play on Sunday. Expect a large target share for Michael Crabtree, who returns from a suspension, and Jared Cook. Matthew Stafford - Dealing with a hand injury after being stepped on last week but has practiced this week and is fully expected to play in a near must-win situation for the Lions. Tyrod Taylor - Will be a game-time decision this week with a knee injury. Rishard Matthews - Was upgraded to a full participant at practice on Thursday on is very likely to return to action after missing a couple games. Robby Anderson - Suffered a hamstring injury at Thursday's practice and is questionable for Sunday's game against Denver. Stay tuned for the Friday practice report. Joe Mixon - Still in the concussion protocol and has yet to practice this week. If he is not cleared before the game, Giovani Bernard would step in and have huge value this week. Zach Ertz - Was limited at Thursday's practice but has yet to clear the concussion protocol. He is likely to clear on Friday but is questionable at this time. Jimmy Graham - Similar to last week, he has yet to practice with an ankle injury but is expected to play. Ameer Abdullah - Limited in practice this week after missing the Week 13 game. If he does not return Theo Riddick would again hold some fantasy value as the likely starter. Adrian Peterson - Missed last week and was not present at practice on Thursday and is once again questionable. Delanie Walker - Has yet to practice this week with an ankle injury and is very questionable to play. Chris Hogan - Practiced in a limited fashion for the second straight day on Thursday and is likely to return to the field on Sunday. Sterling Shepard - Was limited at Thursday's practice with a hamstring injury but the interim coach is "hopeful" he will be on the field Sunday. If you are looking for...

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...
