Dennis Clausen highlights the top FanDuel NFL DFS lineup picks for Week 14 of the 2022 season, and some value sleepers for your daily fantasy football rosters.
Week 14 began with Baker Mayfield, who was recently claimed off waivers by the Rams, throwing a game-winning 23-yard pass to Van Jefferson to beat the Raiders on Thursday night. As we near the final stretch of the season, the abundance of value opportunities is higher than ever, mainly with some teams having nothing left to play for. Of course, injuries will only expand the number of value plays even more.
In this article, I will be providing you with my Week 14 daily fantasy football lineup picks for FanDuel. These lineups can vary from higher-priced players and elite options to lower-priced players and value picks on FanDuel.

FanDuel Quarterbacks - Week 14 DFS Lineup Picks
Joe Burrow - vs. CLE ($8,300)
The Bengals are looking like the team that made it to the Super Bowl last season. Burrow has been the reason, as he’s arguably been the best fantasy quarterback of late, totaling a league-high 911 passing yards and two touchdowns in the last three weeks.
After Ja’Marr Chase returned for the win over the Kansas City Chiefs, Burrow will get Joe Mixon back for the Week 14 rematch against the Browns. He played well in the loss to Cleveland the first time the clubs met this year, although it didn’t help in the end. However, with all of his weapons back in his arsenal, he warrants a place in DFS lineups on Sunday.
Tyler Huntley - @ PIT ($7,000)
Lamar Jackson suffered a knee injury last Sunday against the Broncos, opening the door for Huntley to take over. All things considered, he played well by ending the day with 187 yards and a pick off 27-for-32 passing while adding 41 yards off 10 carries.
With Jackson sidelined for a few games, Huntley finds himself in familiar territory. He started four games last season, throwing 772 yards, four picks, and two touchdowns. We know he isn't the best passer on the planet. However, Huntley had 239 yards on the ground in those four games. Although he's a risky option, he certainly has upside against the Steelers in Week 14.
Also Consider: Kirk Cousins ($7,500), Jared Goff ($7,100)
FanDuel Running Backs - Week 14 DFS Lineup Picks
Dalvin Cook - @ DET ($8,700)
Cook totaled 17 touchdowns in the 2020-21 campaign. However, he's only had 14 in the last two seasons combined, so it's safe to say he's underperformed. However, with a showdown with the Lions on tap, the 27-year-old should strongly be considered by DFS participants.
Cook has owned the Detroit defense throughout his career. In his seven meetings with the NFC North rival, he has accumulated seven touchdowns while averaging over 100 yards per contest and an efficient 6.1 yards per carry. Everyone knows the Lions have allowed more points per game than any team in the National Football League, giving Cook a high ceiling on Sunday.
Ezekiel Elliott - vs. HOU ($8,000)
Are we finally at the point where we can trust Zeke? Well, we should be, because he’s actually played well since missing a few games because of a knee injury, amassing four touchdowns in his previous three games. Although Elliott remains involved in a timeshare with Tony Pollard, the arrangement has been beneficial for the Cowboys’ offense.
It’s clear Pollard is the featured pass-catcher out of the backfield. Yet, Elliott has the edge inside the red zone. Either way, both men could feast against a Texans’ defense that has allowed more fantasy points per game to opposing running backs than any other team in the league.
Also Consider: Derrick Henry ($9,000), Joe Mixon ($8,500), Jamaal Williams ($7,000)

FanDuel Wide Receivers - Week 14 DFS Lineup Picks
Justin Jefferson - @ DET ($9,300)
Considering Detroit has no issues allowing opponents to score, Jefferson will be a popular option. There is no denying he’s played a significant role in the Vikings’ success this season. He has been a monster in the last five games.
During that span, he’s tied with Davante Adams for a league-leading 56 targets while adding 525 receiving yards and four touchdowns. While the 2020 No. 2 overall pick had a rough showing against the Lions in Week 3, there’s reason to believe things will be much different this time around.
Ja'Marr Chase - vs. CLE ($8,700)
After missing four games with hip and shoulder injuries, Chase returned for the AFC Championship rematch versus the Kansas City Chiefs. While the former LSU Tiger played 59 snaps, fewer than Tyler Boyd and Tee Higgins, he still finished with a game-high seven catches (eight targets) for 97 yards.
Chase is expected to see more action in Week 14 for the rematch against the Browns. The clubs had a Monday Night Football showdown back on Halloween, with Cleveland earning an easy victory. That said, Chase wasn't available for that one. But with the Bengals looking to make it five in a row, you can bet the wideout will see plenty of looks from Joe Burrow.
Also Consider: Amon-Ra St. Brown ($9,300), CeeDee Lamb ($8,200), Adam Thielen ($6,400)
FanDuel Tight Ends - Week 14 DFS Lineup Picks
Travis Kelce - @ DEN ($8,000)
Kelce had arguably his worst showing of the 2022-23 campaign during the loss to Cincinnati. He finished with only four catches for 56 yards while adding a fumble. Obviously, DFS managers had expected more, considering how he performed against the Bengals during his two encounters against the team last season.
In all fairness, performances like we saw from Kelce in Week 13 are rare, so fantasy enthusiasts can forget about it and move on to the AFC West matchup versus Denver. The All-Pro has had only six trips to the end zone in 15 games against the Broncos during his career. However, he’s had 90 receptions for nearly 1,200 yards, so those numbers tell the entire story.
Also Consider: T.J. Hockenson ($6,500)
