By now you should know about the one week fantasy football contests we play over at DraftKings. If you haven’t heard or haven’t started playing weekly fantasy football yet then I have the perfect contest to get you started. Since there are two games on Monday night this week Draft Kings are doing Monday Night Only contests. As I always say with these small slates of games, these are the perfect time to take big risks and play for qualifier tickets.

Back once again for week 14 it is the DFS Playbook's Optimal Lineups!! There are a lot of injury situations that are still very much up in the air and thus we are not going to playing guessing games with the likes of Bernard Pierce, Terrance West or Andre Williams. If by chance we learn of Isaiah Crowell, Justin Forsett or Rashad Jennings being ruled out, these lineups could switch dramatically. 

But for now these are the best possible scenarios as far as lineups go this week. 

Here are the Optimal DFS Lineups for Week 14:
