Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers is the QB18 in Fantasy football 2024 heading into a matchup against the Dolphins in the Week 14 NFL schedule on Sunday. Can daily Fantasy football players trust Rodgers and his other high-profile skill-position players like Garrett Wilson and Davante Adams for Week 14 NFL DFS lineups? Star running back Breece Hall (knee) has been ruled out, so can you trust rookie running back Braelon Allen to emerge as a value play from the NFL DFS player pool? What about NFL DFS stacks featuring Rodgers and Allen, who could see plenty of passes out of the backfield?

Top NFL Week 14 DFS picks for Sunday
One of the Optimizer's top DFS value picks for Sunday is Jaguars wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr. ($5,800 on DraftKings and $6,900 on FanDuel). Thomas is the No. 2 rookie wide receiver in receiving yards (765) on the season, ahead of No. 4 overall pick Marvin Harrison Jr. and No. 6 pick Malik Nabers. The big-play receiver is averaging 16.6 yards per reception, which leads all rookies with at least 25 catches, and he has a reception of more than 20 yards in back-to-back contests.
Thomas has shown a quick rapport with backup quarterback Mac Jones, who will start for Trevor Lawrence (concussion) on Sunday. All four of his receptions for 76 yards and a touchdown came from Jones last week and Thomas was the team's leading receiver at 82 yards the week before with Jones as the starter. Thomas has three touchdowns over his last six and is proving why he was a first-round pick in the NFL Draft. See who else to pick here.
The Optimizer's NFL DFS strategy also includes rostering Browns wide receiver Jerry Jeudy ($5,700 on DraftKings and $6,100 on FanDuel). Jeudy had the fourth-highest scoring week for a wide receiver in PPR formats this season with nine receptions for 235 yards and a touchdown in a 41-32 loss to the Broncos on Monday Night Football last week. He's the WR3 in Fantasy football on a points-per-game basis since Jameis Winston took over as the starter in Week 8 with at least five receptions and more than 70 yards in all five games.
The Browns have more than 45 pass attempts in three of five games with Winston as the starter as they are allowing him to create plays, even if they lead to turnovers. Cleveland is 2-3 with Winston as the starter and the Browns are 6.5-point underdogs against the Steelers, according to the latest Week 14 NFL odds from the SportsLine consensus. But trailing leads to more throws by Winston, which leads to more targets for Jeudy. Given Jeudy's steady production, it's difficult to find a receiver with a higher floor than him and he doesn't come at a premier price for NFL DFS lineups.
