Yahoo Plays and Strategy for Week 14 Sunday Baller

The Week 14 NFL main slate begins Sunday at 1 p.m. EST and features 11 games. The Cardinals and Commanders will be the final two NFL teams to go on bye, while the Thursday Night Football (Patriots-Steelers), Sunday Night Football (Eagles-Cowboys) and Monday Night Football (Packers-Giants and Titans-Dolphins) participants play outside the Week 14 main slate. Yahoo will run plenty of NFL DFS contests for Week 14, but the biggest is the Sunday Baller, which pays out a guaranteed prize pool of $100,000 to the top 1,144 finishers, including $20,000 to the winner. You can submit up to 150 entries into this contest, which has a maximum total capacity of 5,850 entries but will still run if it doesn’t fill, potentially providing you with enhanced odds of winning, also known as overlay.

Playing in guaranteed prize pool (GPP) contests is about chasing upside, while lineups geared toward head-to-head, 50/50 or double-up formats should prioritize high floors. The players you want to target for these different contest types aren’t mutually exclusive, but winning a GPP tournament usually requires finding a hidden gem or going against the grain in a spot or two, while building a solid base of the same chalk plays you would use anywhere. Against-the-grain plays typically consist of big-name players in tough matchups or boom-or-bust types with uncertain roles.

Keep in mind that Yahoo DFS contests use 0.5 PPR scoring rather than full PPR, which lowers the comparative value of wide receivers and running backs (in that order) while especially affecting high-volume pass-catchers. Your NFL $100k Sunday Baller lineup will consist of one QB, two RBs, three WRs, one TE, one FLEX (RB/WR/TE) and one D/ST unit. Suggested Week 14 options include a star WR stacked with his unheralded QB, a pair of rookie RBs and a defense facing an offense that’s been a fantasy goldmine for opposing D/ST units lately.
