Welcome to the NFL DFS Week 14 RB Coach article! I was happy with most of my Week 13 NFL DFS RB recommendations. 

Joe Mixon, Alvin Kamara, James Cook and Kyren Williams all at least earned their DFS salaries.

 

 

 

NFL DFS Week 14 RB Coach For FanDuel & DraftKings Fantasy

There’s always room for improvement. Unfortunately, and in retrospect, my suggestions to insert Gus Edwards and Aaron Jones into your NFL DFS lineups didn’t work out the way I’d hoped, but let’s put Week 13 behind us. 

There are plenty of NFL DFS RBs who can help you win some cash in Week 14!

 

 

 

NFL Week 14 RBs

In season long fantasy football leagues some teams are moving on to the playoffs and others are dreaming of what could have been. That’s the beauty of NFL DFS football. There’s always an opportunity to create a new lineup and the only restriction you have in creating that lineup is a specific players NFL DFS salary. 

Speaking of new, I’m going to keep an eye on potential new Los Angeles Raiders lead RB Sincere McCormick this week. I love his Week 14 NFL DFS salaries ($4,600 DK/$5,500 FD) and the way he performed (12 carries for 64 rushing yards, 5.33 YPC) against a great Kansas City Chiefs run defense. 

Raiders head coach Antonio Pierce has said that McCormick has earned more reps. Based on his recent production it would make sense if McCormick continued to be used as the team’s lead early down back even when Zamir White and Alexander Mattison are healthy enough to return to action. 

McCormick might end up following in White’s footsteps, who didn’t end up being an NFL DFS RB option until Week 14 of last season. There are several good NFL DFS RB options that you should consider using in your Week 14 NFL DFS lineups. These are a few of my favorites and I hope that by the end of Week 14 they’ll be your favorites as well.

 

 

 

NFL DFS RB Top-Tier Picks For Week 14

Alvin Kamara, RB New Orleans Saints - DraftKings: $8,000 | FanDuel: $9,200 

Kamara continues to be a very good top-tier NFL DFS RB option in Week 14. He has a favorable matchup against the New York Giants who have given up 4.55 YPC and six TDs to NFL DFS RBs in their last four games. 

I shouldn’t have to tell you how good an NFL DFS RB Kamara is, but just in case I do, he’s averaging 4.80 YPC and five catches per game in his last five matchups.

 

 

 

NFL DFS RB Mid-Tier Picks For Week 14

Kyren Williams, RB Los Angeles Rams - DraftKings: $7,300 | FanDuel: $8,400

Williams rushed for over 100 yards for the first time since Week 5 against the Saints in Week 13 and he scored a rushing TD for the second week in a row. He’s averaging 5.31 YPC over his last four games and has a good matchup against the Buffalo Bills in Week 14. 

The Bills have had a hard time defending against the run and even in the snow last week three San Francisco 49ers RBs combined to average 6.25 YPC against them. For the season, NFL DFS RBs are averaging 4.75 YPC against the Bills.

James Cook, RB Buffalo Bills - DraftKings: $7,400 | FanDuel: $8,500 

Luckily for the Bills, they have a pretty good NFL DFS RB in Cook, who has the ability to offset their opponents’ fantasy production. Cook has a favorable matchup against the previously mentioned Los Angeles Rams in Week 14. 

The Rams have given up the third most rushing yards (613) and the third most receptions (26) to NFL DFS RBs over the past five weeks. 

David Montgomery, RB Detroit Lions - DraftKings: $6,800 | FanDuel: $7,400

Even with fellow Lions RB Jahmyr Gibbs posting a screenshot of some of the Lions’ run plays to social media, I think Montgomery should still be able to have a big day against the Green Bay Packers in Week 14. 

I was worried about Montgomery’s shoulder injury ahead of his Thanksgiving Day matchup against the Chicago Bears but it didn’t seem to bother him. As has become the norm in this column, I like both he and Gibbs to be productive NFL DFS RBs in Week 14 but I prefer Montgomery’s NFL DFS salary compared to Gibbs’ ($7,400 DK/$8,200 FD). 

It should be noted that Gibbs’ DK DFS salary dropped by $400 and his FD DFS salary is $200 lower compared to his Week 13 salaries. The Packers’ run defense has improved lately but overall they’re giving up 4.39 YPC and the seventh most receptions (59) to NFL DFS RBs this season.

Chase Brown, RB Cincinnati Bengals - DraftKings: $6,700 | FanDuel: $7,800 

Brown faces the Dallas Cowboys in Week 14 who’ve had all kinds of trouble against NFL DFS RBs this season. They’ve given up 4.46 YPC and the second most rushing TDs (14) to the position this season. 

Brown has scored three total TDs, is averaging 4.30 YPC, and he’s also averaging 5.5 receptions per game in his last four matchups. 

 

 

 

NFL DFS RB Value Picks For Week 14

Tony Pollard, RB Tennessee Titans - DraftKings: $6,400 | FanDuel: $7,500 

Pollard has a very good matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars who’ve been getting shredded by NFL DFS RBs lately. 

The Jags are giving up five rushing TDs, one receiving TD, and the fourth most rushing yards (587) to NFL DFS RBs over the past five weeks. Pollard has had a bit of an up and down season, but is averaging 4.5 YPC over his last eight games. 

Isaac Guerendo, RB San Francisco 49ers - DraftKings: $5,400 | FanDuel: $5,200 

Who would have thought that both Christian McCaffrey and Jordan Mason would both be placed on the IR after their Week 13 matchup, but their misfortune has created a new opportunity as a new NFL DFS RB option has surfaced. 

Guerendo almost certainly will take over lead back duties in Week 14 against the Chicago Bears. The Bears are a team in turmoil who have given up the most rushing yards (718) and the fifth most receptions (23) to NFL DFS RBs over the last five weeks. 

Guerendo has only 42 carries on the season but is averaging 5.86 YPC. He looks like a nice low-cost NFL DFS RB option in a home game against a team that has had trouble stopping the run lately.

 

 

 

NFL DFS RB Fades For Week 14

Gus Edwards, RB Los Angeles Chargers - DraftKings: $5,300 | FanDuel: $6,000

A combination of a very tough matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs’ stealth run defense as well as the distribution of snaps that we saw among Chargers NFL DFS RBs last week, makes me want to avoid Edwards this week. 

I’ll watch this matchup from the sidelines to see how many reps Kimani Vidal and Hassan Haskins each get this week and reevaluate Edwards’ future NFL DFS RB value.

 

 

 

NFL Week 14 RB Play Of The Week 

Saquon Barkley, RB Philadelphia Eagles - DraftKings: $9,000 | FanDuel: $10,000

This matchup that Barkley has against the Carolina Panthers seems like a slam dunk for NFL DFS players. 

When an unstoppable force like Barkley meets a run defense that hasn’t been able to stop any NFL DFS RBs all season you put Barkley in your NFL DFS lineup as long as you can absorb his high but well-deserved NFL DFS salary.
