DraftKings Daily Fantasy Football Picks (Week 14): NFL DFS Lineups

This is an intriguing slate in Week 14. With the Chiefs, Steelers, Chargers, and Saints all on the slate, there is plenty of firepower. The Rams game being flexed to the Sunday Night Football slot is not a huge loss as they are playing a very good Bears defense. In addition, we have some defenses […]

Evan Engram Not Worth A Fantasy Play In Week 14

New York Giants tight end Evan Engram is on track to return to the field in Week 14 against the Redskins. Engram (hamstring) is back practicing but will have a tough matchup against a Washington defense that is allowing the ninth fewest fantasy points to opposing tight ends. It has been a lost season, to […]

Jonathan Stewart Won't Come Off Injured Reserve

New York Giants running back Jonathan Stewart (foot) will remain on Injured Reserve for the rest of the season. J-Stew had six carries for 17 yards (2.8 yards per carry) in his three games this season. He'll turn 32 next March and won't even be an attractive handcuff to Saquon Barkley in his second and […]

Sterling Shepard Not Fantasy Viable Against Redskins

New York Giants wide receiver Sterling Shepard is not worth a fantasy play in Week 14 despite a positive matchup against the Redskins. Washington's defense is allowing the fifth most fantasy points to opposing receivers this season but Shepard is averaging only 32.5 receiving yards a game over his last four played. The Redskins have […]

Odell Beckham Jr. Has Fantastic Matchup In Week 14

New York Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. will go up against a Redskins defense in Week 14 that is allowing the fifth most fantasy points to opposing receivers this season. Beckham Jr. caught eight passes for 136 yards in Week 8 against them and has at least 70 receiving yards in six of his […]

Saquon Barkley Maintains RB1 Status Against Redskins

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley will look to once again deliver for fantasy owners in Week 14 against the Redskins. Washington's defense is allowing the 13th fewest fantasy points to opposing backs but Barkley still posted 111 all-purpose yards against them in Week 8. Barkley has posted more than 100 yards from scrimmage […]

Eli Manning Carries Risk Against Redskins

New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning and the Giants offense is trending in the right direction heading into Week 14 against the Redskins. Manning has seven touchdowns to only two interceptions over his last four games and now will face a Redskins defense that is allowing the ninth most fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks. Manning's […]

Evan Engram, Sterling Shepard Practice In Full

New York Giants tight end Evan Engram (hamstring) and wide receiver Sterling Shepard (rib) both practiced in full on Thursday after being limited on Wednesday. Engram seems primed to return after a two-game absence. However, he'll be more of a TE2 option for fantasy owners in the first week of the fantasy playoffs with quarterback […]

Under-the-Radar Booms/Busts: Week 14

This is arguably the most important week of the fantasy football regular season. Week 14 is the last week of the regular season in many if not most fantasy leagues.

Evan Engram, Sterling Shepard Limited Wednesday

New York Giants tight end Evan Engram (hamstring) and wide receiver Sterling Shepard (rib) were both limited in practice on Wednesday. Engram hasn't played since Nov. 18 but appears on track to return against the Redskins this Sunday. There's a chance his snaps will be limited, making him more of a high-end TE2 if he […]

Landon Collins Going To IR

New York Giants safety Landon Collins (shoulder) will go on Injured Reserve and needs surgery for his shoulder injury, according to a source. His procedure will likely take place next week. Collins is one of the better safeties in the NFL and had 96 tackles, a forced fumble and four passes defensed on the year. […]

Every year, certain players are highly drafted in drafts by fantasy owners due to the belief that they will vastly outperform expectations throughout the season.

Landon Collins Week-To-Week With Shoulder Injury

New York Giants safety Landon Collins (shoulder) is out for Week 14 against the Redskins after suffering a shoulder injury in Week 13, according to sources.

Week 14 Waiver Wire Pickups - All Positions

Saquon Barkley Says He's Fine

New York Giants rookie running back Saquon Barkley (shoulder) said he feels fine after injuring his shoulder in the Week 13 overtime win over the Bears. The 21-year-old rookie has been everything he was advertised as and more in his first season in the NFL. He has now rushed for over 100 yards in three […]

Eli Manning Still The Starter Heading To Week 14

New York Giants head coach Pat Shurmur said "Eli's our starter" heading into Week 14 against the Redskins. There is a "good chance" that rookie Kyle Lauletta will once again serve as the backup to Eli Manning this week. Manning is clearly running on fumes at age 37 and looked bad again in Week 13 […]

Eli Manning Does Enough To Win

New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning completed 19 of 35 passes for 170 yards, one touchdown and one interception in the Giants upset over the Bears in overtime 30-27. Manning was held down most of the game by an elite Bears defense but made some key throws when it mattered. The Giants offense runs through […]
