One of my favorite aspects of fantasy football has become playing on DraftKings. Every week is like a new puzzle to figure out.

That\u2019s what I like to do with everything I do and that goes for fantasy football as well.

This week 63.3% of my recommendations hit the 2.5x value we look for in cash game lineups. This time the quarterback and tight end groups led the way tied at an 83.3% success rate. Meanwhile, the wide receiver and running back groups brought up the rear tied at a 50% success rate. For me personally, it was incredibly frustrating. The GPPs did not do well at all. As for the cash game lineups, I missed doubling up ($400 swing) by less than a point. We\u2019ll look to keep the momentum going with the picks and get back into profit in the Week 14 DraftKings plays.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Week 13<\/strong> \u2013 $315 \u2192 $120 <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>($195 LOSS)<\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n<li><strong>Year<\/strong> <strong>Total<\/strong> \u2013 $4,777 \u2192 $3,486 <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>($1,291 LOSS)<\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>Week 14 DraftKings Plays<\/strong><\/h3>\n<h4><strong>Quarterbacks<\/strong><\/h4>\n<h4><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/H\/HerbJu00.htm?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Justin Herbert<\/a> (LAC) \u2013 $6,800 v ATL<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Justin Herbert certainly was a disaster last week. He had by far the worst game of his young career as the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/nfl-teams\/chargers\/\" target=\"_self\">Los Angeles Chargers<\/a> were blanked and he only put up 6.4 DraftKings points. This matchup against the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/nfl-teams\/falcons\/\" target=\"_self\">Atlanta Falcons<\/a> looks like the perfect rebound spot. The Falcons allow the sixth-most DraftKings points to quarterbacks this season. This game also should be a fairly close game between two teams that can score points and have a hard time stopping opponents from scoring points. This game is also in a dome which is conducive for offense, especially passing offense. Since his performance was so bad last week, Herbert\u2019s price dropped despite the nice matchup. This is something to take advantage of this week.<\/p>\n<h4><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/W\/WilsRu00.htm?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Russell Wilson<\/a> (SEA) \u2013 $7,900 v NYJ<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/tsbicca.github.io\/letrusscook\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">LetRussCook.com<\/a> movement has been stymied over the past month or so.

Derek Carr is solid but he\u2019s no Russell Wilson. The Jets have been better against the run than they have against the pass and lately have been getting smashed by every quarterback that they run into. Wilson needs a big game in a bad way and the Jets don\u2019t have the personnel to slow him down. Add in that the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/nfl-teams\/seahawks\/\" target=\"_self\">Seattle Seahawks<\/a> have the second-highest implied team total this weekend and you can expect Russ to get back in the kitchen and start cooking again this weekend.<\/p>\n<h4><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/T\/TannRy00.htm?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Ryan Tannehill<\/a> (TEN) \u2013 $6,700 @ JAX<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Don\u2019t look now but Ryan Tannehill is quietly the QB9 in points per game and the QB7 in overall points this season.

After Gibson left with an injury, McKissic handled five carries and ten receptions. The receptions are what he does.

To get a wide receiver with this level of involvement, in this type of matchup, and with this price feels like stealing.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Others to Consider:\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><em>\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/A\/AlleKe00.htm?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Keenan Allen<\/a> <\/strong>(LAC) \u2013 $7,700 v ATL,\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/R\/RidlCa00.htm?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Calvin Ridley<\/a> <\/strong>(ATL) \u2013 $7,500 @ LAC,\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/G\/GodwCh00.htm?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Chris Godwin<\/a><\/strong> (TB) \u2013 $6,300 v MIN,\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/A\/AndeRo04.htm?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Robby Anderson<\/a><\/strong> (CAR) \u2013 $6,200 v DEN,\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/B\/BoydTy00.htm?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Tyler Boyd<\/a><\/strong> (CIN) \u2013 $4,900 v DAL,\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/P\/PatrTi00.htm?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Tim Patrick<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0(DEN) \u2013 $4,200 @ CAR<\/em><\/p>\n<h4><strong>Tight Ends<\/strong><\/h4>\n<h4><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/K\/KelcTr00.htm?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Travis Kelce<\/a> (KC) \u2013 $7,400 @ MIA<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Travis Kelce is a machine. His advantage over other tight ends is absurd. He currently leads all tight ends in targets (110), receptions (82), receiving yards (1,114), and is tied for the lead in touchdowns (8). His 1,114 receiving yards are only five behind DK Metcalf for the NFL lead among all players. To get this guy at a position as bad as tight end is amazing. His consistency has been incredible too. He\u2019s scored double-digit DraftKings points in every game except one this season. To put it frankly, Kelce simply isn\u2019t fair. The matchup against the Miami Dolphins this week isn\u2019t a great one by any means, but Kelce and the Kansas City Chiefs offense are simply too good to ignore any given week.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Travis Kelce is in his own tier \ud83d\ude24 \ud83c\udfc6 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/TqPGyJN13O\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">pic.twitter.com\/TqPGyJN13O<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; PFF (@PFF) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/PFF\/status\/1337457633662562305?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">December 11, 2020<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<h4><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/A\/AlieMo00.htm?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Mo Alie-Cox<\/a> (IND) \u2013 $2,500 @ LV<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>It\u2019s been a while since Mo Alie-Cox was relevant in fantasy football but it was just a few months ago that he was useful. Back in weeks two and three, he posted 19.1 and 14 DraftKings points, respectively. Since that point, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/B\/BurtTr01.htm?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Trey Burton<\/a><\/strong> has seemed to overtake him. That is until recently. Alie-Cox has now played more snaps for two straight weeks although it hasn\u2019t led to many fantasy points. Nevertheless, playing a nice snap count is a step in the right direction especially for a guy that is the stone minimum price. This game against the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/nfl-teams\/raiders\/\" target=\"_self\">Las Vegas Raiders<\/a> has one of the highest O\/U on the slate and the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/nfl-teams\/colts\/\" target=\"_self\">Indianapolis Colts<\/a> have the sixth-highest implied team total. Playing Alie-Cox allows the flexibility to play more expensive players across your lineup. For a player that is playing a good amount of snaps in a good environment, can\u2019t ask for much more at this price.<\/p>\n<h4><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/T\/ThomLo00.htm?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Logan Thomas<\/a> (GB) \u2013 $3,300 @ SF<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Logan Thomas continues to be a value play at tight end week in and week out. This is due to his maddening inconsistency in which he\u2019s looked to be a value and hasn\u2019t come through multiple times this year. Lately, though, he\u2019s produced more often than not. Thomas has scored double-digit DraftKings points in three of his last four games including a 24.8 point outing last week against the Pittsburgh Steelers. He continues to run some of the most routes of any tight end in the NFL. This week\u2019s matchup against the 49ers isn\u2019t great by any means, but it\u2019s hard to ignore that type of route volume at such a barren position and for such a low price.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Others to Consider:<\/em><\/strong><em>\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/W\/WallDa01.htm?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Darren Waller<\/a><\/strong> (LV) \u2013 $6,800 v IND,\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/S\/SchuDa00.htm?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Dalton Schultz<\/a><\/strong> (DAL) \u2013 $3,500 @ CIN,\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/A\/AkinJo00.htm?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Jordan Akins<\/a><\/strong> (HOU) \u2013 $2,900 @ CHI<\/em><\/p>\n<h4><strong>Defense\/Special Teams<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>In terms of choosing a defense\/special teams, it\u2019s the last spot I fill in every week. It\u2019s pretty random but there are a few areas to gain an advantage. I look to target the heavily favored teams as they usually are playing with a lead. This forces their opponent to throw it more often which can help lead to extra sacks and turnovers and hopefully a touchdown. Another aspect to target is turnover and sack-prone quarterbacks. With that being said, my advice is to fill out the rest of your lineup first and then pick your favorite D\/ST out of the remaining money.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>My Tentative Cash Game Lineup<\/strong><\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>QB \u2013 Aaron Rodgers<\/li>\n<li>RB \u2013 Giovani Bernard<\/li>\n<li>RB \u2013 Myles Gaskin<\/li>\n<li>WR \u2013 Davante Adams<\/li>\n<li>WR \u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/T\/ThieAd00.htm?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Adam Thielen<\/a><\/li>\n<li>WR \u2013 Corey Davis<\/li>\n<li>TE \u2013 Jordan Akins<\/li>\n<li>Flex \u2013 J.D.
