San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy projects as the most popular quarterback in the NFL DFS Week 14 slate. Does that mean Deebo Samuel or Brandon Aiyuk are set for big days?
As the field runs to Purdy, stacking him with one of Deebo Samuel or Brandon Aiyuk will be important. The question is which one?
When looking for fantasy and DFS advice, our free Player Compare tool is a great place to start. We can look at any one vs. one or two vs. two combinations. Let’s dive in and see who the better play is on Sunday.
Deebo Samuel or Brandon Aiyuk | NFL Week 14 DFS Advice
It was just two week ago when Samuel caught seven of nine targets against the Seattle Seahawks for 79 yards, and now he gets the same matchup. Last week was even better, maximizing all four of his targets for 116 yards and two touchdowns.
Aiyuk only saw four targets against Seattle, catching two balls including a touchdown. Last week he caught five passes for 46 yards, including a touchdown.
Here’s how they project on in Week 14:
Aiyuk is projected for more points, but also seeing higher ownership. Despite the bump in ownership, Aiyuk appears to be the better play.
He has a higher boom percentage in our Boom/Bust tool and appears in optimal lineups 22.4 percent of the time. Based on ownership and optimal percentage, playing Aiyuk actually gives you greater leverage on the field than Samuel.
This is just one way to view the matchup, but the rest of the lineup obviously matters around them.
