We have an excellent 13-game main slate on tap for Week 14 that begins at 1 p.m. ET on Sunday.
This piece will highlight the top NFL DFS players at each position in our FantasyLabs Player Models in terms of their projected ceiling from our award-winning Director of Predictive Analytics, Sean Koerner.
Let’s dive in.
Top Model Quarterback Ceiling Projections
Deshaun Watson ($6,500 DraftKings; $7,700 FanDuel)
It’s been a while since Lamar Jackson or Patrick Mahomes hasn’t been in this spot, but Watson is more than deserving of having the top ceiling projection on this slate. The matchup doesn’t stand out against the Broncos, but it does soften up if Von Miller (knee) doesn’t suit up, taking away one of their pass rushers.
Watson has been one of the most efficient quarterbacks this season, averaging 0.59 fantasy points per dropback, which is the fourth-highest mark in the league. The adding rushing benefit raises both his floor and ceiling, as he’s already scored five rushing touchdowns this season, trailing only Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson.
He’ll also be in an excellent scoring environment since he’ll be in a dome at home with a 25.5-point implied team total. Overall, Watson is a great value, leading all quarterbacks in our models with a +4.25 Projected Plus/Minus and 3.5 pts/sal. Given the lack of appealing quarterback options on this slate, there’s a strong chance Watson makes my cash game team if I decide not to pay down.
