Week 14 is the last week of the season <\/span>with<\/span> any byes, but it contains some significant ones. <\/span>That means it’s <\/span>potentially<\/span> the last week of the season where the budget options can shine.<\/span> Without wasting any time, these are Week 14 DFS Sleepers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Week 14 DFS Sleepers<\/span><\/h2>\n

Quarterback<\/span><\/h3>\n

Aidan O’Connell<\/span><\/h4>\n

It’s no secret that the <\/span>Las Vegas Raiders<\/span><\/a> have a quarterback problem. They will likely select a quarterback in next year’s draft, but they are rolling with <\/span>Aidan O’Connell<\/span><\/a> for now. He unexpectedly torched the Chiefs on Black Friday for 340 yards and two touchdowns. This week, he faces a great matchup against Tampa Bay.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Buccaneers allow the <\/span>second most fantasy points per game<\/span><\/a> to quarterbacks. O’Connell has also established a connection with top receiver Jakobi Meyers. Meyers has 97 or more yards in three of his last four games, and the Tampa secondary shouldn’t cause him too many issues.<\/span><\/p>\n

O’Connell’s price is $6,700, the same as Mac Jones, despite facing a much softer defense. Another positive in O’Connell’s favor is that the Raiders have the <\/span>worst rushing offense in the league<\/span><\/a>, so they are bound to throw the ball a lot. He’s a solid option in a limited week.<\/span><\/p>\n

Running back<\/span><\/h3>\n

Isaac Guerendo<\/span><\/h4>\n

The <\/span>San Francisco 49ers<\/span><\/a> nightmare of a season continued on Sunday. After spending the first ten weeks of the season recovering from an <\/span>achilles<\/span> injury, Christian McCaffrey’s season ended due to a knee injury. To make matters worse, Jordan Mason <\/span>was also placed<\/span> on IR.<\/span><\/p>\n

Enter, <\/span>Isaac Guerendo<\/span><\/a>. Guerendo is an explosive running back. He ran a 4.33 40-yard dash and <\/span>has<\/span> a 41-inch vertical leap. He’s inexperienced, but he will have to shoulder a heavy workload out of necessity. He’s up against a Chicago Bears run defense that is far worse than their pass defense.<\/span><\/p>\n

The 49ers will need to lean on Guerendo. Their season is on the line, and they are heavily injured. Despite <\/span>all of<\/span> this, Guerendo <\/span>is priced<\/span> at only $5,200, an absolute bargain compared to the other options in that price range. Expect Guerendo to get into the end zone on Sunday.<\/span><\/p>\n

Wide Receiver<\/span><\/h3>\n

Darnell Mooney<\/span><\/h4>\n

Kirk C0usins had a disaster of a game last Sunday. He threw four interceptions, including one pick-six. This week, he’s in a great spot to bounce back against his former <\/span>team, the <\/span>Minnesota Vikings<\/span><\/a>. Darnell Mooney has been Cousins’ second favorite target all season behind <\/span>Drake London<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Falcons are six-point underdogs in this game, meaning that Vegas expects them to <\/span>be throwing<\/span> a lot. The Vikings also have a stout rushing defense, further incentivizing the Falcons to throw the ball. The Vikings <\/span>allow the second-most<\/span><\/a> fantasy points per game to wide receivers.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mooney isn’t a deep sleeper but has a surprisingly low price of $5,900. He’s been down the past two weeks, but this presents an excellent opportunity to play him this week at a lower cost than usual.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tight End<\/span><\/h3>\n

Noah Fant<\/span><\/h4>\n

Outside of the top three or four, the <\/span>tight end position<\/span><\/a> has been a wash this season. <\/span>This<\/span> will be Fant’s second game back from injury, and it’s in a crucial divisional matchup with playoff implications. Fant provides a different dimension to a passing offense that has <\/span>been so focused<\/span> on <\/span>Jaxon Smith-Njigba<\/span><\/a> and DK Metcalf.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

He can stretch the field and has far more big play potential than other options in his price range, such as Tyler Conklin, Chigoziem Okonkwo, and Dawson Knox. $5,000 is a reasonable price for Fant, but in a highly pass-happy Seahawks offense, he’s a sleeper option that may cause the Cardinals defense some problems in Week 14.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
