WEEK 14 TOP QB DRAFTKINGS PICKS

Aaron Rodgers - $9,800

If you’re playing a 50/50 and you don’t play Rodgers, you are insane.  He is the safest play of the week.  He faces the worst passing defense in The NFL, The Atlanta Falcons, who give up 285 yards per game, 15 TDs this season and 14 plays of 40 or more yards.  At home this year, Rodgers puts up 300 yards per game, has thrown 20 TD’s, and has a QB rating of an astonishing 134.4.  My only concern here is the schmuck teams, pick over factor in which The Packers have a 30 point lead going into the 4th quarter and Rodgers sits the rest of the game.  If The Falcons can somehow keep this game close, Rodgers could have the biggest score by a QB this season.

Drew Brees - $9,100

Brees is at home, and plays The Panthers this weekend.  He has thrown 8 TD’s the past 2 games including last weeks 5 TD performance against The Steelers.  The Panthers are middle of the road when it comes to yards allowed per game at 248.  However, they have given up 22 passing Td’s so far.  One thing The Panthers do well is stop the big plays, so look for lots of 15-25 yards completions to Graham and Stills.  As long as they get in the end zone it doesn’t matter if it comes on one 60 yard bomb, or three 20 yard completions. 

Shaun Hill - $5,500

Hill might be this week’s Ryan Fitzpatrick (who was in the $1,000,000 winners lineup).  Hill had a nice game last week wuth two TD’s and a QB rating of 116, not bad for almost the cheapest QB on the board.  Last week he played Oakland, who actually are pretty good against the pass, this week he plays Washington who are terrible against the pass giving up a tied for second worst in the NFL 26 passing Td’s this season.  If you are going to go with a cheap QB, I think Hill is your guy, I also like linking him up with Stedman Bailey as a cheap WR option for double the points.  You can basically stack the rest of your lineups with, Lev Bells, Randall Cobb’s, and Jimmy Grahams with the money you saved going with this combo.  Hill is far from a sure thing, but it’s pretty tough to win the million.
