NFL Week 14 action is here. Here are five recommended plays to help you win big in DraftKings GPP and cash game competitions.
CHIGOZIEM OKONKWO, TENNESSEE TITANS ($2,700 ON DRAFTKINGS) VS. JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS
- Tennessee has a 22.5-point implied team total, sitting as 4-point home favorites over the Jacksonville Jaguars.
- PFF’s ownership projections expect a 0.0% rostership rate for Tennessee rookie tight end Chigoziem Okonkwo (79.5 PFF receiving grade), and his $2,700 DraftKings salary is just $200 over the minimum.
- Okonkwo should be aggressively considered for both cash games and GPP tournaments. His big-play upside and overall receiving profile mesh perfectly with Jacksonville’s dreadful linebacking corps.
- The table below ranks Okonkwo’s receiving data in parentheses among 37 NFL tight ends with at least 25 targets.
PFF Receiving Grade | Per Routes Run %: Tgts – Yds | Catch % – Contested Catch % | Yds/Rec. | aDot – YAC/Rec. | Missed Tackles Forced Rec. | 15-Plus-Yd Pass Plays |

- Jacksonville head coach Doug Pederson went with third-round rookie inside linebacker Chad Muma (35.3 PFF coverage grade) in place of underperforming first-round linebacker Devin Lloyd (34.7 PFF coverage grade) ahead of Week 13, but Muma suffered an in-game ankle injury and has been unable able to practice this week.
- Lloyd is likely to start alongside abysmal veteran inside linebacker Foyesade Oluokon (56.5 PFF coverage grade).
- The table below ranks Jacksonville’s inside linebackers among 87 NFL linebackers with at least 90 coverage snaps.
