Bender's Favorite NFL DFS Pickem Picks: Week 14

Hard to believe we’re already at NFL Week 14. Seems like only yesterday I was smack-talking all of you in best ball drafts and now here we are desperately clinging to the end of the regular season. But we’ll let the fantasy football community lament the end as we know we still have until early February to keep building our bankrolls playing DFS Pickem contests. Last week wasn’t all lollipops, rainbows and sunshine as we went 2-2. We hit with TJ Hockenson on our Pick of the Week and watched as Bijan Robinson easily cleared his rushing yards line. But Jaylen Warren came up empty for us and poor Colby Parkinson saw his consecutive games with a touchdown streak come to a sad, sad end. That’s ok because we’re still playing with house money! So, let’s get to the NFL Week 14 picks.

If you are new to the DFS Pickem format, allow me to help you along because it’s really quite easy. All you do is make your picks for players to produce more or less than their designated stat-line and if you are right, you can earn up to 40 times your wager (minimum wager of $1). Pick correctly for two players and you will 3x your money. Three correct picks will get you a 6x return, four is 10x and so on, up to 40x for six correct picks. You should give a look at the full contest rules, but that’s the gist of it for how to play.

Again, since I’m still hoping to take down that top prize in the Beat Howard Bender Best Ball Tournament, I thought I’d give back to the community each week with some DFS Pickem picks. I do a substantial amount of the NFL betting content and a lot of DFS content on Fantasy Alarm, so I am always diving into the match-ups and player stat lines. Why not turn that into some cold, hard cash so you can afford to play me in season-long contests again next year?

Now, let’s get to it!

Pick of the Week:

Chase Brown -- MORE than 52.5 Rushing Yards

All eyes are on Joe Burrow and Josh Allen and that’s a mistake. Could this game eventually turn into a shootout? Of course it could. But we’re also looking at two of the worst run defenses in the league. The stat lines for James Cook are all juiced up, but how nice and sensible is this line for Brown. He’s had 53 or more rushing yards in three straight games and in five of his last seven. The Bills are allowing the third-most rushing yards per game this season with the second-highest yards per carry average allowed. The Bengals know the best way to beat the Bills is to keep their offense off the field, so expect them to lean heavily on Brown early and set up some early, methodical, time-consuming drives. Brown could get us to where we need to be in the first half alone.

Other Favorite Week 14 Picks:

Adonai Mitchell, WR NYJ – MORE than 47.5 Receiving Yards
Darren Waller, TE MIA – MORE than 28.5 Receiving Yards
Brenton Strange, TE JAC – MORE than 42.5 Receiving Yards
