Draftkings Fantasy Football Roster for Week 14

Draftkings NFL 10M contest
 

Aaron Rodgers gets the nod at quarterback to build your Draftkings roster around in week 14. Rodgers has a perfect matchup at home against the Atlanta Falcons. The Green Bay Packers quarterback has been perfect at home not only leading his team to a 6-0 record but also throwing 20 touchdown passes versus zero interceptions.

Along with Rodgers the other two considerations from this game include Randall Cobb or Jordy Nelson at wide receiver along with Eddie Lacy at running back. In the end we like Randall Cobb saving us around $700 on our salary. As far as Lacy he is one of the top options this week against a Falcons defense that has surrendered a league high 14 rushing touchdowns.

After pair up the trio of Packers including Rodgers, Lacy and Cobb that leaves us $25,000 and around $4,166 per player. Now that we built the core here is where the tricky part comes into play but we jump to the defense to receive some salary cap relief. The one team that stands out this week is the Kansas City Chiefs with a very nice price tag of $2,900.
 

After concerns showed up last week with the Arizona Cardinals offense then the loss of potentially Andre Ellington this makes perfect sense. After landing a bargain at defense we head to the flex position to fill it with another bargain with a wide receiver landing us with Marqise Lee of the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Lee makes perfect sense with a price tag of $3,900 as the Jaguars take on a Houston Texans defense that has allowed a league high 17 touchdowns to opposing receivers on the season. The next position we looked to find a bargain at was the tight end position landing us with Tony Moeaki for the Seattle Seahawks. Since joining the team he has posted three consecutive games with at least seven fantasy points.

Now we have three spots left with one dedicated to the running back position and the other two for wide receivers. Our tip for the week on DraftKings has us going back to the bargain bin for wide receivers with a bunch of solid options under $4,000. Despite his up and down stretch over the past few weeks we decided to take Markus Wheaton of the Pittsburgh Steelers. The move allows us now around $5,900 for each of the other two free spots.

Our final two spots were pretty easy to fill as we started with Frank Gore at the running back position. Gore and the San Francisco 49ers take on an Oakland Raiders team that has allowed runnings back to rush for 11 touchdowns as well as pull in five touchdown receptions. The move also pushed our cap space up to $7,000 free up enough for us to take Kelvin Benjamin of the Carolina Panthers.

Here is what the roster looks like for DraftKings for week 14.

Running Back – Eddie Lacy

Running Back – Frank Gore
