Best quarterback picks
Cash Games: Geno Smith, QB, Seattle Seahawks (DraftKings $6.2, FanDuel $7.7K)
Geno Smith continues to be marvelous. Talk about a career rebirth. Smith has been great from wire to wire this season and has changed the minds of many league skeptics.
Tournaments: Sam Darnold, QB, Carolina Panthers (Draftkings $5.2, FanDuel $6.6K)
Not many DFS players will rush to play Sam Darnold this week. We have seen Darnold find the end zone as a runner in years gone by. If Darnold can do it again, you gain all the leverage against the tournament field.

Best running back picks
Cash Games: Kenneth Walker III, RB, Seattle Seahawks (DraftKings $6.8K, FanDuel $7.6K)
Kenneth Walker III is one of the unanswered questions heading into Week 14. Walker jammed his foot last week and was unable to return. The team has labeled him questionable all week long. Around the NFL, several beat reports suggest the rookie will miss this week's game. If Walker cannot go, a pivot would be pass-catching specialist Travis Homer at a reduced rate.
Tournament: D'Onta Foreman, RB, Carolina Panthers (DraftKings $5.4K, FanDuel $6.9K)
D'Onta Foreman has established himself as the lead back for the Carolina Panthers. The Panthers know they cannot win a shoot-out against Seattle. Look for the Panthers to attempt to ground and pound themselves to a victory in the Pacific Northwest.
Wide receivers and tight ends
Cash Games: DK Metcalf, WR, Seattle Seahawks (DraftKings $7.1K, FanDuel $7.9K)
Keep an eye on the injury report leading up to this game. DK Metcalf is battling a hip injury. Reports out of Seattle and around the team suggest that Metcalf will play through the injury. Metcalf is the type of physical player you want in your ranks to go to war with, but it is best to listen to the latest intel up to game time.
Tournament: Tyler Lockett, WR, Seattle Seahawks (DraftKings $6.5K, FanDuel $7.7K)
Tyler Lockett has gone through a stunning transformation this season. As a veteran receiver and one with a new QB, Tyler Lockett has shifted the narrative regarding what type of player he is and what he means to the DFS community. Lockett was one of the most erratic players in fantasy football, reliant on big plays from the right arm of Russell Wilson. Now with Geno Smith, he has become one of the most consistent fantasy performers at the WR position. Lockett is a must have, no matter the match-up.
