FREE 12/08 NFL Cheat Sheet: Top DFS Plays
December 7, 2024
Maximize your lineups with top picks and value plays for Week 14. From slate-breaking stars to sneaky sleepers, these recommendations, backed by the DFS Hero Lineup Optimizer, will give you the edge in GPP contests. Let’s dive in!
Week 14 DraftKings DFS GPP Plays
Quarterback Plays
Josh Allen, Bills $8,000
I think Allen could score 30 points in what could be a high scoring game against the Rams. The DFS Hero Optimizer projects is ownership to be about 4%. We can find the value to fit him in.
Sam Darnold, Vikings $6,100
I think we can lock in Darnold for 250 yards passing and 2 touchdowns minimum. The Falcon’s pass defense isn’t good, and he has the weapons.
Caleb Williams, Bears $5,600
Williams has averaged 27 points in his last two games. His receiving duo of DJ Moore and Keenan Allen are playing great too. They catch a beat-up 49er team that is ready to fold.
Aidan O’Connell, Raiders $4,800
O’Connell was sharp in his last game against the Chiefs throwing for 340 yards and 2 touchdowns. He faces a Tampa secondary that gives up a lot of big plays. His price allows you to play both Barkley and Jefferson with ease.

- Sam Darnold, Vikings $6,100
- Will Levis, Titans $5,000
Running Back Plays
Saquon Barkley, Eagles $9,000
A smash spot for Barkley against the worst run defense in football. 100 yards and touchdown should be his bare minimum with 30 plus point upside.
Alvin Kamara, Saints $8,000
Kamara should get 25 touches against a beat up Giant front. TE Tayson Hill is out meaning Kamara has a better chance to score as well.
Kyren Williams, Rams $7,300
If the Rams want to win, they must run the ball as the Bill’s run defense is their weakness. This play can fail if the Bills jump out to a nice lead, but I think the Rams will keep it close for a while.
Tony Pollard, Titans $6,400
Pollard is a smash spot against a horrible Jaguar run defense. He should break 100 yards and score.
Isaac Guerendo, 49ers $5,400
Guerendo will have heavy ownership, but he should get 20 touches. If he scores, you will need him to win the slate.
Braelon Allen, Jets $5,000
Allen is going to get a ton of volume with RB Breece Hall most likely out. Miami’s run defense is their weakness and the Jets should try to exploit that.

Wide Receiver Plays
Justin Jefferson, Vikings $7,300
The Vikings started to shorten up Jefferson’s routes and he started to eat. I am expecting a big game and a touchdown.
Mike Evans, Buccaneers $7,200
Evans is off the injury report and he could get 7 plus catches in what could be a shootout.
Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Seahawks $6,300
The Cardinals defend the deep ball and are willing to give up short to intermediate routes. I expect Smith-Njigba to lead Seattle in receiving.
Calvin Ridley, Titans $5,700
Ridley is of interest because of the matchup. He has the ability to reach 100 yards and a touchdown.
Jakobi Meyers, Raiders $5,600
Meyers is on the injury list, but he is expected to play. He has an A+ matchup and could easily have 7 catches for 100 yards and a touchdown.
Calvin Austin III, Steelers $3,300
Austin has scored in two straight games and if he could get a couple more catches, he can be the biggest bargain on the slate.

- Jakobi Meyers, Raiders $5,600
- Drake London, Falcons $6,400
Tight End Plays
Brock Bowers, Raiders $6,500
Bowers does it all and lines up all over the field. He should have at least 6 catches and a chance at 10.
Trey McBride, Cardinals $6,100
McBride has back-to-back 12 catch games and would be the best tight end on the slate if he could just score.
T.J. Hockenson, Vikings $4,100
I expect Hockenson to be open vs. the Atlanta zone defense. Look for 6 catches for 70 yards with a touchdown.
