NFL DFS Example Lineups: Week 14

Published: Dec 13, 2020

Welcome to the DFS Example Lineups for NFL Week 14!

Here we go, #FANation! Are we ready to crush it this week? It was fixing to be a tough week as there was very limited value for cash games, but the DFS gods gave Myles Gaskin the rona and now we're looking at DeAndre Washington at a minimum price. Now, to be honest, I don't really like Washington. I don't think he's a very good back and he has a very good chance of being game-flowed right off the field if the Chiefs blow up this vaunted Miami defense. The game should stay close early while both sides feel each other out, so the hope is that Washington sees decent carries early on against this weak-ass Chiefs run defense. It's not a lot, but if everyone is using Washington because he's at the minimum price, then we can follow suit and get some more big boy names into our cash lineups. I'll pass on Washington in GPP tournaments because I don't think there's much upside, even in a revenge-game.

Also, take not of the Playbook as I added Washington as well as Logan Thomas .

Just a few notes here about the lineups below...

The cash lineups are typically built solely off the players I put in the Playbook. These are the guys who, unless I have indicated otherwise, offer up the higher floor and will help you cash in your Double-Ups and 50/50s. There are a few exceptions and this week, one or two in particular which you will see. For GPP tournaments, particularly the large-field ones, you need to find alternative routes to the cash line. I will utilize players from the Playbook and the DFS Dart Board to fill in the gaps, but what I am looking for are some lower-owned stacks that make sense based on expected game flow and other news. You may also see in the GPP lineups, there may be some names I haven't discussed this week on the site, but have talked about during the week on the Fantasy Alarm Show on SiriusXM Fantasy Sports Radio. You will also notice, though, that others on the site have mentioned some of these players in places such as the position coaches, so it's not like we're trying to hide anything from you. The only time, and I mean the only time you will see a player in a GPP lineup who hasn't been discussed is if we are using a stack and need a player from the other team coming back. But it's rare when that happens.

Again, these lineups are meant to serve as examples for you. A sounding board if you will. They are not meant for you to plug in as your own. That's the lazy way and we don't condone it. We are trying to teach you how to be a better DFS player; we aren't lineup-sellers. You should be creating your own lineups using all the information we provide you throughout the week and then coming here to see if there is anything you may have missed or simply for an alternative perspective.

Best of luck to you this week and let's make some money!

SUNDAY MORNING NOTES:

We have a COVID-19 Update piece to our weekly articles to help keep everyone informed as to what is going on with NFL game cancellations and postponements. As it stands right now, there are no postponements, but in case you missed the news, the Dolphins will be without Myles Gaskin who's got the COVID now and will not only miss this week but next week as welll. The Lions also lost DE Everson Griffen , but we were already bullish on Aaron Jones anyway.

DeAndre Washington will be the Dolphins' Week 14 starter at running back against the Chiefs.

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports Ezekiel Elliott (calf, questionable) is expected to play in Week 14 against the Bengals.

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports Texans WR Brandin Cooks (foot, neck) will not play in Week 14 against the Bears.

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports Lions RB D'Andre Swift (illness, questionable) is expected to play in Week 14 against the Packers.

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports Cardinals WR DeAndre Hopkins (neck, back) is expected to play in Week 14 against the Giants.

ESPN's Adam Schefter reports Cardinals RB Kenyan Drake (hip, questionable) is expected to play in Week 14 against the Giants.

Bucs TE Cameron Brate has been added to the Week 14 injury report with an illness, and is questionable for Sunday's game against the Vikings.

GPP STACKS:

As a reminder, when you're stacking in GPP, you always want to run someone back from the opposing team. One-sided games often turn to a running back seeing higher-than-usual volume or the back-ups start to play. For a stack to really pop, the other team needs to keep things competitive.

Chalk Stacks (Expect High Ownership):

Chiefs -- Patrick Mahomes , Tyreek Hill , Travis Kelce (DeVante Parker or Mike Gesicki coming back)

Packers -- Aaron Rodgers , Davante Adams , Aaron Jones or Robert Tonyan (Marvin Jones , T.J. Hockenson or Quintez Cephus coming back)

Seahawks -- Russell Wilson , DK Metcalf, Tyler Lockett or Chris Carson (Breshad Perriman coming back)

Chargers -- Justin Herbert, Keenan Allen , Austin Ekeler or Mike Williams or Hunter Henry (Calvin Ridley or Russell Gage or Chirstian Blake coming back)

Buccaneers -- Tom Brady , Mike Evans , Chris Godwin or Antonio Brown or Ronald Jones (Justin Jefferson or Adam Thielen coming back)

Titans -- Ryan Tannehill , Derrick Henry , A.J. Brown or Corey Davis (James Robinson or D.J. Chark coming back)

Possible Lower-Owned Stacks:

Falcons -- Matt Ryan , Calvin Ridley , Russell Gage or Christian Blake (Keenan Allen or Austin Ekeler or Mike Williams coming back)

Bears -- Mitchell Trubisky , David Montgomery , Allen Robinson (Keke Coutee or Brandon Cooks or Chad Hansen coming back)

Colts -- Philip Rivers , T.Y. Hilton , Michael Pittman or Jonathan Taylor (Darren Waller or Nelson Agholor or Henry Ruggs coming back)

Cardinals -- Kyler Murray , DeAndre Hopkins , Christian Kirk or Kenyan Drake (Sterling Shepar or Evan Engram or Wayne Gallman coming back)
