NFL DFS Dart Board: Week 14

No D'Andre Swift and, from the sounds of everything right now, no Jamaal Williams either as he was a late-week add to the reserve/COVID list. Jefferson profiles better as a lead runner than Godwin Igwebuike and he is likely to see the bulk of the rushing work, at least in the early downs. We have seen Jefferson catch passes before so it's not a lock that we're looking at a straight split, but if you need to pay down and you're playing on either FanDuel or Yahoo, Jefferson could be a huge bargain.

He's not exactly a bargain price on FanDuel, but Smith just barely missed the cut for the Playbook so I felt compelled to get him into the Dart Board and into your lineups. The Jets secondary is incredibly soft and they've allowed 21 touchdowns through the air. Given the fact that Smith has been the most-targeted receiver over the last four weeks and Deonte Harris is suspended, Smith falls in as a fantastic bargain.

While Amon-Ra St. Brown is garnering all the extra attention after his game-winning touchdown catch, I'm still more of a fan of Reynolds and the work he's done in Detroit in such a short time. He's also significantly cheaper. As a guy who is seeing the second-highest snap count and second-most targets on the team, he's also not going to see the toughest coverage. He matches up real well against Ronald Darby this week, so if you're in need of a pay-down on DK, he could be worth a look.

As stated in the DFS Playbook, there aren't a whole lot of receiving options in Cleveland right now; at least not many we'd be interested in. Jarvis Landry will likely see the highest target share with Austin Hopper a potential second. That should leave DPJ as a decent dart-throw as Kevin Stefanski and Bake Mayfield are going to want to take some shots downfield at some point. With no Marlon Humphrey in the Ravens secondary, we could see some interesting passing work from Cleveland. 

This could be my favorite dart-throw of the week as most people will look to Jalen Guyton as the bargain wideout. But Guyton is a deep threat who will work on the opposite side of the field from Mike Williams while Palmer will get the work out of the slot which is where Keenan Allen lines up most of the time. If Justin Herbert likes to lean so much on Allen, then Palmer could be a reliable target for him given he'll be running a similar route tree.

*IMPEMBA SPECIAL* Ok, this is a true dart for the week but the numbers on this one make some sense and if you are looking for another min-price option and a potential pivot off of someone like Josh Palmer who may be chalky then take a peak at Cole. He was inactive last week but in Week 12 he played 96% of the team's offensive snaps with Corey Davis out of the lineup. Now the Jets are not only missing Corey Davis but also Elijah Moore. The Jets are expected to be trailing this game which means more passing opportunities against the Saints pass defense which is how you want to attack them given their No.2 ranked run defense.
