Last week was the latest example of how the Jameis Winston experience goes. Daily Fantasy football players who used Winston in NFL DFS lineups were thrilled with the results since he was the QB1 on the week after throwing for 497 yards and four touchdowns. He did throw three interceptions, though, which hindered Cleveland's chances at winning in a 41-32 loss to the Broncos, but the Browns are allowing Winston to throw and take chances. He had 58 pass attempts against Denver and with another tough defense in the Pittsburgh Steelers in the Week 14 NFL schedule, should you expect Winston to have the same passing freedom when forming your NFL DFS strategy?
Jerry Jeudy was the WR1 in Fantasy football with nine receptions for 235 yards and a touchdown from Winston and is the WR3 on a points-per-game basis since Winston became the starter in Week 8. Should you use Winston-Jeudy NFL DFS stacks for Week 14 NFL DFS lineups?

Top NFL Week 14 DFS picks for Sunday
One of the Optimizer's top DFS value picks for Sunday is Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray ($6,000 on DraftKings and $7,800 on FanDuel). Murray threw for 260 yards with a touchdown and two interceptions last week, but the most uplifting part of his performance for daily Fantasy football players was his rushing production. Murray rushed for his most yards (48) last week since Week 7 and his rushing upside has been a major appeal for rostering Murray in NFL DFS lineups.
The Cardinals play the Seahawks and although Murray only rushed for nine yards on two attempts against Seattle in Week 12, he had his second-best passing performance of the season with 285 yards. The Cardinals only scored six points in that game, so the coaches will likely try to create a new way to attack Seattle in this matchup, and if that includes asking Murray to scramble and run more, he can be a significant asset in NFL DFS picks at his price. See who else to pick here.
The Optimizer's NFL DFS strategy also includes rostering Jaguars wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr. ($5,800 on DraftKings and $6,900 on FanDuel). The No. 23 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft had four receptions for 76 yards and a touchdown last week. All four of those receptions came from Mac Jones, who replaced Trevor Lawrence after suffering a concussion in the second quarter, and Jones will start on Sunday with Lawrence out and placed on IR.
Thomas led all Jaguars in receiving yards (82) in Jones' second start of the season in Week 11. The rookie leads Jacksonville in receptions (46), receiving yards (765) and receiving touchdowns (six) this year and he'll remain a primary target even with Lawrence out. The Jaguars play the Titans, who rank 27th in scoring defense (27.7 ppg) and the Titans allowed 42 points to the Commanders last week. You can see the rest of the Optimizer's NFL DFS picks here.
