With six teams on a bye in the Week 14 NFL schedule, the NFL DFS player pool has fewer options for creating NFL DFS lineups. Once you get this late into a season, injuries also become a key to forming an NFL DFS strategy. Multiple Week 1 starting quarterbacks are either out with injuries or no longer with their teams, including Trevor Lawrence (concussion), Deshaun Watson (Achilles) and Daniel Jones (released). Watson has been out since Week 8 and his absence has aided Cleveland pass-catchers like Jerry Jeudy, Cedric Tillman and David Njoku with Jameis Winston as the starting quarterback. Who are players who may be overlooked for NFL DFS stacks and can outperform their price tags? Before locking in any NFL DFS picks on sites like DraftKings and FanDuel for Sunday, be sure to check out the NFL DFS advice, strategy, and stacks from SportsLine daily Fantasy expert Mike McClure.
McClure is a legendary professional DFS player with more than $2 million in career winnings. He uses a powerful prediction model that simulates every snap of NFL action, taking factors such as matchups, statistical trends, and injuries into account. This allows him to find the best DFS values that he shares only with members at SportsLine. His methodology has led to enormous cashes on FanDuel and DraftKings. Last year, he won the DraftKings Millionaire Maker twice and the FanDuel Million once. Anyone who has followed him is way up.
Now, McClure has turned his attention to the Week 14 NFL schedule on Sunday and just locked in his top daily Fantasy football picks. You can only see his picks and analysis at SportsLine.
Top NFL DFS picks for Week 14
One of McClure's top NFL DFS picks for Sunday is 49ers running back Isaac Guerendo ($5,400 on DraftKings and $5,200 on FanDuel). The rookie could be on the verge of a massive workload with Christian McCaffrey (knee) and Jordan Mason (ankle) both out and with how head coach Kyle Shanahan often utilizes a workhorse running back approach. Although Sunday will be Guerendo's first start, he's already proven to be an effective runner with double-digit carries as he's averaging 7.7 yards per rush in the two games he received at least 10 carries.
The 49ers play the Bears, who allowed 194 rushing yards on 5.9 yards per carry against the Lions last week. Aaron Jones rushed for 106 yards and a touchdown the week before against Chicago and the Bears have allowed a running-back touchdown in three straight games. Guerendo comes at an affordable price and can certainly return value for NFL DFS lineups. See who else to roster here.
Part of McClure's optimal NFL DFS strategy also includes rostering Falcons wide receiver Drake London ($6,400 on DraftKings and $7,900 on FanDuel). London leads the Falcons in nearly every receiving category, including receptions (70), targets (106), yards (796) and touchdowns (six). Although the Falcons have struggled over their last three games, going 0-3 and averaging just 12 points per game over that span, London is averaging 6.7 receptions and 81.3 yards over that span, which has him as the WR24 on a points-per-game basis despite being held out of the end zone.
The Falcons, and specifically Kirk Cousins, may have had this Week 14 matchup circled on the calendar with Atlanta playing the Vikings, the team Cousins spent his last six years with. The Vikings reportedly wanted him to take a cheaper contract to return after tearing his Achilles last season, but Cousins wasn't interested in that and signed with the Falcons. If Cousins can perform to show the Vikings he's still worth big money, London is likely to be the prime benefactor of a productive passing attack. See who else McClure likes right here.
