Yahoo DFS NFL Strategy for Week 14 | Picks, Tips, and Podcast for Winning Lineups

Yahoo DFS is a slightly different format for DFS with softer player pricing. Learn the tips and tricks that make successful Yahoo DFS players big money every week.

Yahoo! DFS Cash Game Players for Week 14

Every week in Yahoo DFS we look to target high floor players to hit the cash line in 50/50s, Double ups, and head to heads. Let’s identify the best cash plays as we look to hit the cash line again and find ways to leverage ownership in tournaments like the Yahoo! Baller.

Quarterbacks

Jalen Hurts $39

Hurts may have a dud once in a Blue Moon – as does everybody else – but he’s basically matchup proof with his rushing floor and elite pass catching group. He’s scored 20+ points in his past 6 games and that’s the kind of floor we want from our Cash game Quarterbacks.

Josh Allen $37

Allen’s DFS Army projection is a fraction of a point less than Hurts this week and he comes at a $2 discount. The last time Allen faced the Jets in week 9, he threw 0 touchdowns, 2 picks, and still scored 25 points thanks to 86 yards rushing and 2 touchdowns. He’s a nightmare for opposing Defenses and cash viable. I like Allen in Tournaments this week, too, in Gabe Davis stacks.

Dak Prescott $29

The price is too good for this matchup as the Cowboys’ 31-point team total is top on the slate and nobody else is close. Dak projects as the 2nd best Fantasy points per Dollar play at the Domination Station and has several stacking options with Lamb being the top option

Jared Goff $28

Normally we wouldn’t be on Goff for cash games, but this game carries a 52-point total, projects as back and forth with two poor defenses, and Minnesota gives up 3 points above average to the QB position and 5 points above average to the WR position. Amon-Ra is the top stacking option but there are several cheap options including Swift, Chark, and Williams.

Running Backs

Christian Mccaffrey $32

CMC got 25 touches last week that he turned into 146 yards and a Touchdown. Now with Jimmy G out, the Offense will need to run through CMC. Despite a tough matchup, the volume will be there for CMC and he’s an elite talent.  I’d rather pay up at Wide Receiver in the Minnesota and Detroit game, but CMC is a good play in all formats.

Joe Mixon $29

Mixon will have fresh Legs and he gets the league’s 2nd worst run defense. Mixon is on track to clear concussion protocol after getting in a full practice on Wednesday and he’ll be a top play in all formats based on this matchup and his floor, high ceiling. 

Dalvin Cook $28

Dalvin Cook projects really well this week (top 3) against a poor Detroit Defense. Detroit does defend the run quite well, so Cook is more of a tournament play for me, but I do love his salary in this game environment for his usage – averaging 24 touches in the past 2 games.

Ezekiel Elliott $24

Houston has the third worst run Defense in the league. I prefer Pollard in tournaments, but Zeke’s $24 price is a $6 discount from Pollard and Zeke has 7 touchdowns in 5 games; we love touchdowns on Yahoo and his Touchdown equity has allowed Elliott to score over 15 points in 5 straight games. He should continue that this week.

Dameon Pierce $16

Pierce’s ceiling is limited in Houston’s poor offense, but he gets a lot of volume so he’s a fine cash game play for his usage and cheap salary.

D’andre Swift $16

Swift got 18 touches last week and had over 110 yards and a touchdown. Assuming he’s a full go, he’s a great play at $16 in this high projected game total. I’d lean Pierce at $16 in Cash and play Swift in tournaments where we need more of a ceiling.

**Injury Pending**

Update: Looks to be a go!

D’onta Foreman $23

If Foreman plays, he has a dream matchup against Seattle’s league worst run Defense, giving up 6 points above average to the Running Back position. If Foreman can’t go, $14 Chuba Hubbard slides into his role as a great value play.

Tony Jones $11

Almost minimum pricing and is projected for 8 points.

Wide Receivers

Justin Jefferson $40

Top 3 Wide Receiver talent with a top 3 Target Share (32%) in a shootout game environment going against an opposing defense that gives up 3.7 points above average to the WR position. He’s playable in all formats and the top Wide Receiver play on this slate.

Amon-Ra. St. Brown $27

Minnesota gives up 5 points above average to the WR Position. This game has a 52.75-point projected game total and projects as another smash spot for Amon-ra St. Brown who’s getting a 26% target share and doing a lot with those opportunities.

Christian Kirk $26

Tennessee gives up 7.71 points above average to the WR position and the passing offense of Jacksonville is condensed with Kirk getting the bulk of the targets at 24%. As long as Lawrence doesn’t miss this game, Kirk could have another big day.

Ceedee Lamb $24

Tied for the third best fantasy points per dollar WR play on the slate and on a team with the highest projected team total. His 30% target share gives him a decent every week floor and this is a great spot for him to score a touchdown or two.

Michael Gallup $12

His 23% target share last week yielded 2 total touchdowns and we want players who get endzone looks for Yahoo’s Half-PPR format that favors Touchdowns. At only $12, he’s the top Fantasy Points per Dollar play on the slate and half the price of Lamb if you’re looking to get a piece of the Dallas offense at low salary.

Robert Woods $12

Jacksonville can be attacked best through the air and if Burks doesn’t clear concussion protocol in time for Sunday, Woods is a good value play at his $12 salary. Woods saw a 20% target share last week after Burks left the game.

Phillip Dorsett $10

Stone minimum pricing and he should see a decent number of targets with Collins and Cooks out. Decent punt option.

Tight Ends

TJ Hockenson $22

Revenge game Narrative. TJ Hockenson gets his old team in a game environment that we’re looking to target. Detroit is bad against defending Tight Ends and they face the talented Tight End that they just traded away. What could go wrong?

Greg Dulcich $13

The Broncos have been using Dulcich in a Wide Receiver role because they’re so banged up at the position. Sure, the offense is anemic, but his 50% target share last week is mind boggling for Tight Ends and with Sutton expected to miss this week, Dulcich should see plenty of opportunities again. He’s the top Tight End Fantasy Points per Dollar play.

Tyler Conklin $11

Conklin is close to stone minimum pricing with the 2nd highest target share in the Jets’ Offense that has seen improvement with Mike White under center. Conklin slides in just behind Dulcich as the top Fantasy Points per Dollar play this week.

Defenses

Dallas Cowboys $22

Dallas has 3 weeks with over 20 points this Season and now they get a Houston team that Browns Defense scored 30 points on last week. I’d like to have some tournament exposure here.

Pittsburgh Steelers $12

Top Yahoo DFS Value play on the slate at $12 going against a backup QB.

Cincinatti Bengals $11

Deshaun Watson was really rusty last week, and it might take a while for him to acclimate to the NFL again. Bengals are worth a flier at almost stone minimum pricing.

Top Yahoo! DFS Stack of the Week 

Jared Goff and Amon-ra St. Brown

Total Stacking Price: $55

Total Projected Points: 34.13

Total Projected Ownership: 24.79%

Minnesota ranks bottom 10 against Quarterbacks and 2nd worst in the league against the Wide Receiver position, giving up 5.05 points above average.

This game carries a 52.5-point game total, and the Lions are favored with a 27.5-point team total. This game checks all the boxes for a back and forth, high scoring game. This one can be stacked a lot of different ways with Goff and Amon-Ra both priced under $30.

Top Yahoo DFS Leverage Plays

Jared Goff at 4.95%

See above. I have a hard time believing this low ownership will hold through the weekend, but checkback this weekend as I update the article before lock on Sunday.

Tyler Huntley at 1%

Tyler Huntley has GPP winning upside as he showed last season against Green Bay when he went for over 35 points and brought Andrews with him in GPP winning lineups. At 1%, you definitely need to have exposure to Huntley and Andrews stacks.

Trevor Lawrence at .32%

Tennessee is a poor team defending the pass and Lawrence expects to play this week. If ownership remains low, this is a great leverage play stacked with Christian Kirk.

Tony Pollard at 6%

Pollard has tournament winning upside, and this is a juicy matchup against Texans bottom 3 ranked run Defense in a game that projects as a blowout. Pollard might be the best tournament play on the entire slate if he stays under 10% ownership.

Nick Chubb at .84% 

Cleveland actually projects as a top 5 rushing team this week, so in a game where Mixon is likely going to be Mega Chalk, Chubb is a great way to get direct leverage in that game at very low projected ownership.

Jamaal Williams .63%

Williams is a Touchdown vulture and already has a game this season with 3 Touchdowns. Meanwhile, he’s projected as less than 1% owned while Swift and Amon-Ra project to be over 20% owned, each. On paper, this is one of the best direct leverage examples you can find in DFS.

Christian Kirk at 7%

Tennessee is a poor team defending the pass and Lawrence expects to play this week which boost Kirk’s upside. If ownership remains low, this is a great leverage play – especially in stacks with very low owned Trevor Lawrence.

Gabe Davis at 7%

If Sauce Gardner is going to be on Diggs for a good portion of the game, yes let’s take some shots on $15 Gabe Davis who has one of the top Average Depth of Targets in the League.

Garrett Wilson at 6%

Wilson has smashed in back-to-back weeks and fortunately the matchup is scaring the field off of Wilson. I’m not saying you should have a lot of exposure here, but I like some exposure to Wilson as a bring back in Allen stacks.

Michael Gallup at 5%

We have Lamb chalk on a team with a 31-point projected team total. Gallup’s pricing is dirt cheap, and he’s leverage off of the Lamb Chalk.

Mark Andrews at 8%

Stacked with Tyler Huntley, you have a past GPP winning stack at about 9% ownership in a game environment where both sides are decent matchups for Quarterbacks, Wide Receivers, and Tight Ends.
