Week 14 Thursday DFS Lineup: Jameson Williams, Dak Prescott, CeeDee Lamb and More
Morgan puts together a DFS lineup for the week 14 Thursday game between the Lions and Cowboys.
After going over fantasy football start/sit decisions involving Lions and Cowboys, let's put together a DFS lineup for the week 14 Thursday night battle.
This six-player lineup on DraftKings has a $50,000 salary. There's a captain, costing 1.5 times more, but also scoring 1.5 times more, and five flex spots.
Let's see what we can come up with.

Captain - Jameson Williams ($12,600)
With Amon-Ra St. Brown banged up, or maybe even out, Williams seems like a no-brainer pick for a DFS lineup. He's got a great chance to be the top Lions' fantasy pass catcher, even if St. Brown plays.
The matchup for the Lions' wideouts is as good as it gets, so that's why I'm such a big fan of Williams tonight. He scored 29.9 fantasy points last week, and could even top that tonight.
Williams is averaging 12.8 fantasy points per game, and I think he ends up putting up a huge fantasy score tonight.
Flex - Dak Prescott ($10,400)
Prescott is my second-ranked quarterback for week 14, so I was more than happy to add him to this DFS lineup.
He is averaging 21.8 fantasy points per game this season, and has scored at least 24.6 fantasy points in three straight contests. I think he could top that mark again tonight, as the Lions are a very favorable fantasy matchup for a quarterback.
With all his offensive weapons at his disposal, I don't think Prescott will struggle putting up a big fantasy score. Trust him and expect greatness tonight.
Flex - David Montgomery ($7,000)
I need to start saving some salary, so Montgomery got a nod here.
He's averaging 11.1 fantasy points per game this season. Montgomery scored 12.8 fantasy points last week, and could be in line for a bigger score in a pretty favorable test against the Cowboys.
With St. Brown banged up, it makes sense for the Lions' offense to rely a bit more on Montgomery, even if he's playing second fiddle to Jahmyr Gibbs. With touchdown upside, I like Montgomery as a fantasy and DFS option tonight.
Flex - CeeDee Lamb ($9,600)
I decided to add Lamb to my lineup. It basically came down to him or George Pickens, and I went with the team's No. 1 wideout on paper.
Pickens has been better as a fantasy asset, although Lamb missing time aided his season-long numbers. Lamb is averaging 17.3 fantasy points per contest, and in a very favorable matchup, I see Lamb going over that tonight.
Lamb had 27.2 fantasy points last week, and I'm hoping for another showing like that, but more importantly, being the top Dallas pass catcher over Pickens and Jake Ferguson.
Flex - Brandon Aubrey ($5,400)
Instead of taking another high-priced player, I decided to split the last two lineup spots with average-priced guys. Here, I went with Aubrey, the Dallas kicker.
He is averaging 10.1 fantasy points per game, and is one of the top fantasy kickers in the league.
I think he has a chance to score a ton of points tonight in what could be a high-scoring affair.
Flex - Isaac TeSlaa ($4,400)
I had $5,000 to spend, and settled on TeSlaa. Jake Bates, the Lions DST and the Cowboys DST were among the other notable choices, and I think I got the fantasy asset with the highest upside.
TeSlaa has just six catches across 11 targets this season, but three have been touchdown grabs. He scored 11.5 fantasy points last week to bump his season average to 2.8 points per game.
With St. Brown at least banged up, I see TeSlaa doing more offensively for the Lions. If ARSB is out, then TeSlaa has the chance to have his best fantasy showing of the year.
Final Thoughts
This was one of the toughest DFS lineups I've had to put together. The injury to St. Brown really throws things out of whack, but there's so many favorable matchups that it's hard to choose all the guys I wanted to.
Heck, I left Gibbs, Jared Goff, St. Brown, Pickens, Javonte Williams and Ferguson out of my lineup, and I'd feel pretty good with a lot of those DFS options too.
I think the six I chose have a great chance of finishing with the top DFS score tonight.
Williams, Prescott and Lamb are the pillars of my lineup. If they deliver at least to their season averages, I like where I'm headed.
Montgomery's performance could swing the odds in my favor more, and then Aubrey and TeSlaa have to contribute enough to take this lineup to the top.
Best of luck as you put together week 14 fantasy football and DFS lineups!
