FanDuel DFS plays for the Week 14 full slate
Below you’ll see my favorite NFL DFS FanDuel picks for Week 14 of the season. I decided to skip the Thursday game between the New England Patriots and Los Angeles Rams, as I don’t think it’ll be high-scoring.

DFS cash game locks for NFL Week 13

DFS cash games on DraftKings and FanDuel consist of head-to-head, three-mans, double-ups, 50/50 and even triple-ups. The goal is not to have the best team, but to finish in the top 40% of these contests. It […]
