Daily fantasy sports are all about finding value.

Last week was a great one for our DraftKings value picks, with Carson Wentz finishing the week as a top-five quarterback and wide receiver Alshon Jeffery the fifth-highest scoring player in all of fantasy.

This week, we're back at it again, diving deep into the DraftKings player pool to find players that might be undervalued and can help you fill out your lineup when you feel the need to overspend at other positions.

Take a look below for our best value picks for your Week 14 DraftKings lineups.

QB: Tom Brady, $6,100

QB: Tom Brady, $6,100

Tom Brady hasn't been great this year, but coming off of a loss and facing a Chiefs team that have historically had high-scoring duels with the Patriots, it feels like a great spot to back the New England quarterback.

RB: James White, $5,500

RB: James White, $5,500

James White finished last week as the highest-scoring player in fantasy, with eight receptions, 177 total yards, and two touchdowns.

While picking a Patriots running back is a game of roulette week after week, head coach Bill Belichick is one to ride the hot hand, and right now, that's White.

RB: Patrick Laird, $4,100

RB: Patrick Laird, $4,100

The Dolphins are the worst rushing team in football, managing just 62.8 yards per game through three-quarters of the season. Still, Patrick Laird is set to get a starter's share of the action on Sunday for Miami, and he's available for the paltry price of $4,100.

WR: James Washington, $6,000

WR: James Washington, $6,000

James Washington was first just a boom-or-bust fantasy player in my eyes, but he's been amazingly consistent of late, with at least 90 yards receiving and a touchdown in three of his past four games. Facing a Cardinals passing defense that is the worst in the NFL, he's set for a monster game on Sunday.

WR: Zach Pascal, $5,500

WR: Zach Pascal, $5,500

With T.Y. Hilton out due to injury, Zach Pascal is one of the most dynamic weapons left in the Colts receiving corps. Last week he got a season-high 10 targets from Jacoby Brissett, and this week he's facing a Buccaneers defense that has given up more passing yards than any team besides the Cardinals.

WR: A.J. Brown, $5,300

WR: A.J. Brown, $5,300

A.J. Brown is more of a high-risk, high-reward pick for fantasy players this week, but if you think the Titans are gearing up for a shootout in Oakland, he only needs one big play for you to be thankful he's in your lineup.

TE: Jack Doyle, $4,600

TE: Jack Doyle, $4,600

With fellow Colts tight end Eric Ebron out for the year, Jack Doyle is a great play for daily fantasy players this week. Doyle got 11 targets last week and finished with six receptions, 79 yards, and a score.

DEF: Tampa Bay Buccaneers, $2,300

DEF: Tampa Bay Buccaneers, $2,300

While we've hyped a few Colts players in this column, touting the passing yards the Buccaneers defense has allowed this season, in daily fantasy, they're still a solid play at their cheap price point.

The Buccaneers defense has averaged nearly 20 points per game over the past two weeks, with 11 sacks, three picks, and two touchdowns over that span.
