NFL DFS Rankings for DraftKings, FanDuel - Week 14 Picks for Cash and GPP Contests

With only two teams on a bye this weekend, we are back to a relatively normal-sized slate of 11 games. Sadly, only three of those games have a total of more than 40.5 points.

Aaron Gordon Listed As Probable

Denver Nuggets forward Aaron Gordon (heel) is listed as probable for Wednesday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers.

Josh Green To Miss A Few Weeks

Dallas Mavericks forward Josh Green (elbow) is expected to be sidelined for a couple of weeks. He has missed each of the last two games due to right elbow soreness. It doesn't sound like he's making good progress, so the team will hold him out for a few more games. Derrick Jones Jr. has looked […]

James Robinson Let Go By Packers

The Green Bay Packers released running back James Robinson from their practice squad on Tuesday. Robinson has been shuffled back and forth by the team a few times throughout the season. He appeared in one game for the Packers, taking one carry for two yards against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 13. The team […]

Anfernee Simons Listed As Questionable For Wednesday

Portland Trail Blazers guard Anfernee Simons (thumb) is currently listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Golden State Warriors.

Deandre Ayton Unlikely To Play Wednesday

Portland Trail Blazers center Deandre Ayton (knee) is considered as doubtful for Wednesday's game against the Golden State Warriors.

Eric Gordon To Play On Tuesday

Phoenix Suns guard/forward Eric Gordon (knee) will suit up for Tuesday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers.

Pittsburgh Steelers safety Minkah Fitzpatrick (hand) practiced fully on Tuesday, marking two straight full practices for him as his team prepares to take on the New England Patriots in Week 14's Thursday night game.

LeBron James Active On Tuesday

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (calf) will be active ahead of Tuesday's game against the Phoenix Suns. The superstar forward was considered questionable coming into this game due to a left calf contusion. Despite that, James will suit up and is expected to play his normal role in this game.
