Now that was a lot of points! In Week 13, you had to have 190 points to cash in DraftKings Millionaire Maker GPP, with the top tickets having a Steelers stack paired with "Buck Allen Robinson" playing two positions. Even the 50/50s required 185-plus points, so I got excited about my own high-scoring tickets, thinking they were money-makers, only to wind up seeing precious little scratch.So many players scored big last week that I think the overall ownership percentage numbers will flatten out some. Except, of course, for Jameis Winston (this week's price: $5,500), since whichever quarterback faces New Orleans is automatically awarded a pole position. Realize, though, that when you take Winston this week, you're riding with everyone else. He isn't my favorite QB for Week 14—that would be Big Ben ($6,900).James White ($4,100) – Low-floor, high-ceiling GPP play; game-flow dependentWROdell Beckham ($9,100) – Five straight games of at least 23 DraftKings pointsAntonio Brown ($8,900) – Three of past four above 40!Allen Robinson ($8,000) – An emerging monster, and priced like itA.J.

Running backs are cheap in Week 14. Even last week's top scorer Buck Allen ($5,300) got cheaper, reflecting a low ownership percentage. If you're like me, you're trying to find a couple of inexpensive RBs you can stomach so that you can afford many of attractive wide receiver options. You can't play all the top wideouts, so be choosy, because this is where you'll make your money. Playing a top tight end costs you a top wideout, too, so think hard. I love Greg Olsen ($6,900) this week, but it's so tough to pay that price.Minnesota plays Arizona on Thursday, but everyone else is available. Here are some players worthy of consideration for Week 14:QBCam Newton ($7,500) – Great GPP play; above 30 points three of past six gamesBen Roethlisberger ($6,800) – Tough matchup gets him more to yourselfRussell Wilson ($6,300) – Back-to-back games in the stratosphereBlake Bortles ($6,000) – Weapons alone make him worth consideration every weekJameis Winston ($5,500) – The guy everyone will haveRBDoug Martin ($6,200) – Don't forget the RB against New Orleans, as wellJonathan Stewart ($5,800) – Atlanta is very forgivingLamar Miller ($5,700) – Opportunities are there for the takingBuck Allen ($5,300) – Catches + Carries, but unfortunately here comes SeattleShaun Draughn ($4,800) – Cleveland is kind to running backsLatavius Murray ($4,800) – The only viable Raiders play against Denver
