Week 14 DraftKings NFL DFS Picks - Main Slate (2025)

James Cook - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

Jamie's DraftKings NFL DFS Week 14 picks, value plays, DFS sleepers for the main slate (2025). His top DK plays and value picks for daily fantasy football lineups.

13 weeks have passed, and I took a tiny dive in this ultra-competitive FantasyPros rankings competition. I slid to third place, which is still solid, but I'm tasting the W now! We now turn our attention to Week 14, which is also the last of the bye weeks (and also the last day of the regular season for many season-long players.

The premier game of the week was Dallas-Detroit on Thursday night, but there's still a lot of fantasy goodness to be had in this 11-game Week 14 slate. There are a LOT of questionable tags, so be sure to follow along with our RotoBaller staff in our Discord channel.

Be sure to jump into our RotoBaller Discord! We have so many different channels devoted to whatever you're playing in fantasy football. We also have lots of great NFL DFS articles and NFL DFS tools to help you win MORE this season! Good luck with your DraftKings DFS lineups -- let's dominate this Week 14 slate together!

 

DraftKings Quarterbacks - Week 14 DFS Picks

TOP PLAY

Josh Allen, BUF vs CIN ($7,700)

Despite his price tag, Josh Allen is currently the highest-owned QB on DraftKings, and it's not difficult to understand why. He's had a couple of down games in the last two, but gets an absolute eruption spot this week against the Bengals in a week the Bills HAVE to win to stay in the competitive AFC playoff race.

Buffalo currently has an implied team total of 29.5, which is the highest of the week (yes, even more than the insanity of Dallas-Detroit). Allen continues to be a force on the ground with 11 rushing TDs, and his rushing equity gives him a sky-high floor. He should be able to do what he wants through the air this Sunday as well, as Cincinnati ranks dead last in pressure rate and has allowed the eighth-most FPPG to opposing QBs.

VALUE PLAY

Trevor Lawrence, JAX vs IND ($5,400)

Jacoby Brissett for the fifth straight week in cash?? It's certainly possible, but for now I'm going to pivot to a guy who is $300 cheaper (every little bit helps - we're the Sticky Bandits!). The addition of Jakobi Meyers and the returns of Brian Thomas Jr. and Brenton Strange have vaulted Trevor Lawrence into QB1 status over the past two weeks.

Over the past five games, the Jaguars have averaged 29.2 PPG while winning four of them en route to being atop the AFC North. This week, they have a colossal clash with the Colts for first place, and Indy will be playing without top CB Sauce Gardner. Lawrence has passed for eight TDs and run for three more over the past five contests, and this game currently sports an O/U of 48.5.

Other options - Bo Nix, Jacoby Brissett, Marcus Mariota

 

DraftKings Running Backs - Week 14 DFS Picks

TOP PLAY

James Cook III, BUF vs CIN ($7,800)

It's conceivable that both Josh Allen and James Cook III are in optimal lineups. In cash, Cook is a lock this week, whether or not you choose to include Allen. He's been beyond a fantasy stud this season, with 1,464 yards from scrimmage, nine TDs, and a DK average of 20.5.

Cook is the unquestioned lead back for Buffalo, logging 32 carries in last week's win against Pittsburgh. This week, Cook gets a "cookie" of a matchup against the Bengals, who have allowed by far the most FPPG to opposing RBs. He's game script-proof as well, as he's logged 14 targets over the last four weeks if the Bengals manage to make it a game.

VALUE PLAY

Josh Jacobs, GB vs CHI ($6,800)

Josh Jacobs gave up a lot of passing work to Chris Brooks on Thanksgiving, but he had 17 carries while Emanuel Wilson only had four. Even if Jacobs doesn't return to his full passing-game role, he's too cheap for this gigantic NFC North clash. Jacobs has yet to face this Bears squad this season, but they've allowed 4.8 YPC and are somehow six-point underdogs.

Jacobs' bellcow role for a team with an implied total of 26.5 should put him firmly on your cash radar, and he's a great GPP bringback if you decide to ride the wave of Chicago's success in stacks.

Other options - De'Von Achane, Ashton Jeanty, Breece Hall, Kenneth Walker III

DraftKings Wide Receivers - Week 14 DFS Picks

TOP PLAY

Ja'Marr Chase, CIN @ BUF ($8,200)

Ja'Marr Chase really needs Tee Higgins to sit to fully unlock his upside, but his price tag being so far below Puka Nacua and Jaxon Smith-Njigba gives him instant appeal. Chase and Joe Burrow fell into their routine like Clyde Frazier and Earl Monroe (name THAT movie) as Chase received 14 targets and put up a 7-110-0 line against the Ravens.

Buffalo is a run-funnel defense built to slow down receivers like Chase, but Cincinnati is expected to sling the ball a ton (Burrow threw 46 passes in his return last week). With Higgins out, Chase's target share approaches almost 35% and he's still averaging 20.7 DK PPG despite not having Burrow for almost the whole season.

VALUE PLAY

Michael Wilson, ARI vs LAR ($5,600)

Injury Update: Marvin Harrison Jr. has been ruled OUT

When Marvin Harrison Jr. missed weeks 11 and 12, Michael Wilson went absolutely ballistic with 15/185/0 and 10/118/0 lines on 33 targets. He busted with Harrison back in Week 13, but still got seven targets with Brissett throwing 40 more passes. Harrison injured his heel in the second half and has yet to practice this week.

If Harrison is unable to suit up this week, Wilson is automatically a player with WR1 upside at a WR3 price tag. Arizona is expected to be playing from behind once again, and Brissett should have to chuck the ball all over again. He's thrown 190 passes over the past four weeks, and Wilson is his top target.

Other options - Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Puka Nacua, Emeka Egbuka, Christian Watson

 

DraftKings Tight Ends - Week 14 DFS Picks

TOP PLAY

Tyler Warren, IND @ JAX ($5,000)

Trey McBride has officially entered the "he might be too expensive" conversation at $8k, which has us looking elsewhere for some bang for our buck. After a torrid start, Tyler Warren has slowed up a bit but has still turned in some serviceable lines thanks to his running a route on almost every passing play.

Warren has a lot of competition in the Colts' passing game, but he has the best matchup of the bunch as the Jaguars have allowed the second-most FPPG and the most receptions to opposing TEs. Warren is regularly involved in the red zone, which gives him a solid floor and ceiling at $5k.

VALUE PLAY

Kyle Pitts Sr., ATL vs SEA ($4,200)

If you're looking to save a bit more at the TE position, Kyle Pitts Sr. is too cheap for his role in the Kirk Cousins-led offense and the matchup against Seattle. The Seahawks are a solid defense that sells out to stop both the run and the deep ball, but it leaves the middle vulnerable. As a result, they've allowed the fourth-most FPPG and third-most receptions to TEs.

Pitts leads the Falcons in targets and catches since Kirk Cousins took over, and produced an excellent 7-82-0 line (11.7 YPC) on eight targets last weekend. He's an excellent cash value and can be used as a bringback if you want to stack Darnold-JSN in tournaments.

Other options - Trey McBride, Brenton Strange, Harold Fannin Jr. 

 

DraftKings D/ST - Week 14 DFS Picks

Top Five Defenses For Cash Games

  1. Cleveland Browns ($3,700)
  2. Washington Commanders ($2,800)
  3. New York Jets ($2,500)
  4. Denver Broncos ($3,900)
  5. Tennessee Titans ($2,900)

Thanks for reading, and good luck in your contests this weekend!
