Welcome back readers to my 2021 NFL DFS Week 14 FanDuel Picks.
I don’t know what to say about this season. There have been some ups and some downs and everything in between. When you are sure something about a team or player, that opinion will get flipped on his head two weeks later.
First, off the Cincinnati Bengals are they a good team or a bad team? They have two great wide receivers and Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins, they also have dynamic running back in Joe Mixon and a franchise quarterback with Joe Burrow. But this past weekend the Los Angeles Chargers dismantled them. I know I had a lot of Chargers love in this matchup, but I thought the Bengals would match them point for point. They looked like a team that didn’t belong in the NFL. Let’s see how they do this coming week against the San Francisco 49ers
Furthermore how about the Atlanta Falcons and what they are been doing in the NFC. I feel like this is probably one of Matt Ryan’s worst seasons also Calvin Ridley has not been in the lineup and Kyle Pitts has not lived up to expectations but yet they find themselves just out of a wildcard spot.
Luckily we are playing FanDuel DFS and we do not have to rack our brains with this nonsense so let’s get started
2021 NFL DFS Week 14 FanDuel Picks

Taysom Hill, QB, New Orleans Saints ($7,700)

Hill is practicing in full all week and is set to be the Saints' starting quarterback. Hill is coming off a performance where he rushed for over 100 yards and added two touchdowns through the air. The Jets are coming off a game where they let Gardner Minshew pick them apart, so Hill should have no problem dismantling this defense. This should be a fun game to watch unless you’re a Jets fan.
FanDuel outlook:
Hill is projected for almost 20 points by Fantasy Six Pack. With Alvin Kamara coming back Hill should have another weapon to go to this week. Hill is cut from that Josh Allen mode, but he is $1,100 cheaper and in a better matchup. The Jets' defense will have no answers for the zone read. Hill rushing upside will make him a QB1 this week.
Other QB's I like: Dak Prescott ($8,100), Cam Newton ($7,400), Derek Carr ($7,200)
Cordarrelle Patterson, RB, Atlanta Falcons ($7,800)

Patterson has been the main weapon for the Atlanta Falcons this season. He’s going to be needed in this game. The Falcons have an outside shot to make the playoffs as teams are bunch together in the NFC wild-card race. This is going to be a very important divisional matchup between two 5-7 teams competing for the last spot to get into the playoffs. Patterson is going to get his usual 15 to 20 touches and make them count.
FanDuel outlook:
Patterson is projected for almost 14 points by Fantasy Six Pack. Whether Patterson lines up in the backfield or out wide he will be a tough guy to bring down. The Panthers have not been a good defense as of late giving up almost 30 points per game in the last four matchups. This should be a high-scoring game with plenty of Fantasy points to go around.
Other RB's I like: Austin Ekeler ($9,200), Saquon Barkley ($7,300), Josh Jacobs ($7,100)
D.J. Moore, WR, Carolina Panthers ($6,800)

Ever since the Panthers made the move to Cam Newton, Moore has been playing well. In his last game, he had four receptions for over 100 yards. Moore did receive 10 targets showing that he will be very involved in this offense. The Atlanta Falcons' secondary is not good and has not been good all seasons they will not be able to slow down D.J. Moore once he gets going.
FanDuel outlook:
Moore is projected for almost 13 points by Fantasy Six Pack. Moore has a safe floor and since this strategy worked for us last week we’re going to do it again. With Newton's lack of arm strength, Moore will see a lot of targets around the line of scrimmage. With his speed and quickness, he’s gonna cause problems for the Falcons Defense.
Other WR's I like: CeeDee Lamb ($7,800), Tyler Lockett ($7,300), Terry McLaurin ($7,100)
Dawson Knox, TE, Buffalo Bills ($6,000)

If there’s one area the Tampa Bay Bucs defense can be beaten is in the passing game. Knox has proven to be a great end zone option with seven touchdowns this season. Although he did not have a productive game in New England, he did see six targets which shows he is part of this offense. The Bills are gonna want to get back on track against the Tampa Bay Bucs and I expect Knox to be heavily involved.
FanDuel outlook:
Dawson Knox is projected for almost eight points by Fantasy Six Pack. With all the injuries it looks like I’m gonna have to pay up in other areas of my lineup so grabbing a cheaper tight end is needed. With Knox's production on the field and his cheap price tag, he will be in a lot of my FanDuel lineups this week as I am looking for him to get into the end zone.
Other TE's I like: Travis Kelce ($7,500), George Kittle ($7,100), Dalton Schultz ($5,700)
