How much winning can your daily fantasy football lineup really achieve by getting a piece of the 0-12 Cleveland Browns? Well, trust us and you'll find out with our Week 14 DraftKings daily fantasy football cash-game lineup.
Josh Gordon didn't seem to have much rust after a multi-year hiatus and DeShone Kizer's feeding him. With one game under the belt together, the wheels will start to roll. We're also picking up premium cash plays like A.J. Green, DeAndre Hopkins and Travis Kelce to balance out a solid attack.
We've maintained a steady floor this season and produced another solid outing last week with 120 points. Our Week 14 DraftKings lineup looks to improve on that and keep the ball rolling.

Week 14 DraftKings Picks: Cash lineup, advice
For DraftKings' 13-game Sunday featured slate.
UPDATE: Dak Prescott, DAL @ NYG ($5600): This tag's too low for a QB with running upside facing a Giants defense that looks a shell of its former self. We're still fading Dak against good defenses when Zeke's out, but give us a Washington or New York defense allowing the fourth-most yards per play — without Dak tormenter Janoris Jenkins — and Prescott reclaims his usual 15-point floor.
QB DeShone Kizer, CLE vs. GB ($4900): Kizer has sustained three times his value floor recently by getting actual NFL caliber receivers on the field, while also getting the chance to stay on the field and improve. The Browns are seeing what they have in the rookie second-rounder, and meanwhile, Kizer's hit 15 DK points in four of his last five starts.
RB Samaje Perine, WAS @ LAC ($5600): Perine was barreling toward another 20-plus carries before concussion tests sidelined him for a major chunk of the Thursday nighter in Dallas. Perine returned to that contest and looks like a green light at Los Angeles, now coming at a $700 price-down with similar projected workload.
UPDATE: RB Frank Gore, IND @ BUF ($3900): Gore's 13 carries Sunday marked the first time he didn't hit 18 touches since the previous time Jacksonville smashed them in Week 7. Against the Bills' third-most friendly defense for DK backs and Nathan Peterman, Gore's likely returning to at least neutral game script and another 20 touches.
Looks like Doug Martin's back, so we'll bail on Peyton Barber.
TUESDAY: RB Peyton Barber, TB vs. DET ($4500): I'm counting on Doug Martin for another sit. Barber dominated the backfield share in Green Bay, capitalizing with 143 total yards on 27 touches. Detroit allows the most rushing yards in the league since Week 11, and we're primed for really high carry-per-dollar values from this lineup's backfield.
WEEK 14 RANKINGS:
Quarterback | Running back | Wide receiver | Tight end | D/ST | Kicker
WR DeAndre Hopkins, HOU vs. SF ($8500): Turns out Tom Savage can keep his best ship afloat, aided by an NFL-high dropback total since taking over five weeks ago, per Pro Football Focus data. Hopkins has a league-high target volume over that span, and it has translated to the third-most receiving yards, even eating against Patrick Peterson and Jimmy Smith.
WR A.J. Green, CIN vs. CHI ($7300): Obviously, this price hit cement prior to Green torching the Steelers on 17 targets Monday night. Cincy finally joined the sensible club with Atlanta, Houston and Pittsburgh to find a way to feed their All-Pro WR1. However, he's not priced like it this week.
WR Josh Gordon, CLE vs. GB ($5500): Sometimes, a short recent sample can still highlight a relatively safe floor at a cheap figure. Gordon's the definition of this case, returning to claim his throne as Cleveland's alpha with 11 targets, after the rest of Kizer's options had underwhelmed with already-low expectations this season.
TE Travis Kelce, KC vs. OAK ($7400): Paying the post-smash premium isn't totally ideal, but that smash was far more in line with his recent output than the dud against Buffalo. No Gronk, Evan Engram's team just saw an overhaul, Zach Ertz might not even play, and the injuries keep piling up for Delanie Walker. Kelce's the safest premium TE on slate.
FLEX Giovani Bernard, CIN vs. CHI ($3100): Monitor to see if Joe Mixon sits Week 14 after exiting Monday night, as Bernard assumed the full workload from the second quarter on. This is a classic Monday night discount to get a lead back at basement cost. It doesn't hurt that his 77 yards came on steady chunks that produced a 5.9-per-carry clip.
D/ST Seahawks at Jaguars ($3100): In lieu of a clear great defense vs. bad QB play on slate, we'll take the still-very-good defense vs. still-bad QB. Seattle came away with an impressive 11 DK points against the Eagles and showed they're equipped for powering through injuries to remain a high-floor D/ST this December.
