Last week’s lineup received some tweaks to take advantage of some of the key value plays that came out Friday and Saturday, but Tom Brady, Diontae Johnson and Antonio Gibson all had strong performances and leading the profitable DFS leaderboard. We’re aiming for more success with a FanDuel Week 14 tournament lineup that we believe is well-balanced and offers plenty of advantages without relying too much on low percentage plays. As always, we have a number of boom or bust options suitable for GPP tournaments.
Before we get into this week’s lineup, here are the ground rules for FanDuel competitions. Grading is pretty standard, with the only notable settings being TDs pass four points and Half point PPR.

FanDuel Picks Week 14: NFL DFS lineups for GPP tournaments
Main Sunday, $60,000 budget, no more than four players from a team
QB Lamar Jackson, Ravens @ Browns ($7,900). Jackson hasn’t excelled in his past three games, but even Sunday’s “meh” performance brought in 18.62 FanDuel points. Not too long ago (Week 9 vs Minnesota Vikings), Jackson for the third time surpassed 30.0 FD points this season. A fourth may be unlikely, but a bit more sharpness in Jackson’s decision-making and execution could allow him to get the bottom line in the 25-point FD area.
RB Elijah Mitchell, 49ers @ Bengals ($7,400). Last week wasn’t the most productive effort for Mitchell, who turned 25 touchdowns into a scripted 84 yards. Even so, we’ve enjoyed his use in the passing game – 14 goals in the past four games – and expect him to be heavily relied upon as Deebo Samuel (groin) continues his recovery. We’ll have to keep an eye on him to make sure he completes the concussion protocol in time for Sunday’s game, but if he does, he’s got to be a solid player who can be in possession lower. normal.
RB Antonio Gibson, Soccer Team Vs Cowboys ($7,400). Gibson continues to be successful as he has consistently received large numbers for the past four weeks. Sunday’s FD 19.6-point effort marks the third time he’s hit that point in those four competitions. JD McKissic’s (concussion) absence certainly adds a bit more to Gibson’s title, but even if he does return, Gibson will be ticketed to another full game. After all, the Team has won four in a row, so there’s no reason for them to change things up right now.
WR CeeDee Lamb, Cowboys @ Football Team ($7,800). Lamb continues to distance himself from the herd and establishes himself as the Cowboys’ undisputed #1 recordist. His 13 goals on Thursday accounted for 32.5% of Dak Prescott’s passing efforts, and he added a 33-yard run for a good measure. There are many ways that Lamb can deal damage to the second, and the Soccer Team will go all out on Sunday trying to contain him.
WEEK 14 STANDARD RANKING:
Midfielder | Run back | Wide receiver | Tight ending | VND / ST | Kicker
WR DJ Moore, Panthers vs. Falcons ($6,800). The Panthers were humiliated in Week 12 and fired offensive coordinator Joe Brady in Week 13, so it was a transition period in Carolina to say the least. Moore is clearly the Panthers’ top attacking player at the moment with Christian McCaffrey (ankle) out for the season, and OC Jeff Nixon temporarily is likely to bring their best player in. this week and beyond.
WR Elijah Moore, Jets vs. Saints ($6,300). With his recent playing time, Moore has lifted himself to the top of the depth rankings and is arguably the Jets’ top offensive weapon overall. He has scored five touchdowns in his past five games and scored at least 17.6 FD points in three of those competitions. He’s also turned 5 designed hits into 54 yards and a touchdown this season, so his potential as an occasional runner offers a bit of an additional return. supplement every week.
WEEK 14 PPR ASSESSMENT:
Midfielder | Run back | Wide receiver | Tight ending | VND / ST | Kicker
TE Dawson Knox, Bills @ Buccaneers ($6,000). Knox had a forgettable game Monday night, but it wasn’t unpleasant to be around in Buffalo’s poor and miserable conditions. Playing in Florida’s heat and relative humidity might come as a shock to the Bills’ system, but we’ll take our chances with Knox anyway. The Bucs friendly with tight ends, and the situation should be set for another double-digit FD showing on Sunday.
FLEX (RB) Javonte Williams, Broncos vs. Lions ($6,700). Williams delivered successfully on his first shot while leading the Broncos’ backyard. He turned 32 chances into 29 touches, 178 yards total, touchdown and 26.8 FD points. Even with Melvin Gordon (hips/shoulders) back in the mix this week, Williams may have shown enough on Sunday night to grab the lions’ market share of backyard exercise in the long run. After all, Gordon is a free agent after the season, so it’s in the Broncos’ interest to set Williams back to their signature.
DEF Captain vs Raiders ($3,700). The chiefs continued to turn the tide of the defense. They beat the Broncos on Sunday night and finished with 17 FDs – the second consecutive week of teen fantasy scores. The Raiders, for all their credit and the excitement they generate over Thanksgiving, have only broken the 20-point barrier once since returning from the Week 8 goodbye. It remains to be seen if Darren Waller (knee) can return this week, but even if he does, both teams are flying in opposite directions. The Chiefs will be able to wreak more havoc in this match.
