NHL Puck Drop 1/14

By Brewery Mark

NHL Puck Drop will be a quick list of my favorite players, line stacks and bets for single day NHL slates. This will be updated as news is released.

Players are typically in order of price on DK. Stacks are single team stacks. One strategy is to “run back” a player from the opposing team, if you think the game will be a shootout.

Betting is Moneyline unless otherwise noted.

Feel free to send me question on Twitter: @brewerymark @draught4upside

Dallas Goedert Back At Practice Wednesday
Eagles TE Dallas Goedert (knee) got in a limited practice on Wednesday. That gives him a shot to return for this weekend's game vs. the Rams. We'll keep you updated on Goedert's progress over the next couple of days. He'll be a low-end TE1 option if he suits up on Sunday.
(Sep 17 -- Draft Sharks)

Brian Thomas Jr. A Full-Go Wednesday
Jaguars WR Brian Thomas Jr. (wrist) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice. HC Liam Coen suggested earlier this week that Thomas' wrist was a factor in his ugly Week 2. We're still not totally buying that. But the full practice on Wednesday is confirmation that Thomas is in no danger of missing this weekend's game vs. the Texans.

Christian Kirk Gets In Limited Practice Wednesday
Texans WR Christian Kirk (hamstring) got in a limited practice on Wednesday. HC Demeco Ryans said yesterday that Kirk is on track to make his 2025 debut vs. the Jaguars this weekend. He can't be trusted in Week 3 fantasy lineups but is certainly worth a roster spot in leagues of 12+ teams.

49ers WR Jauan Jennings (shoulder/ankle) did not participate in Wednesday's practice.
Jennings has been dealing with the shoulder injury since Week 1 and played through it in Week 2, but it is notable that an ankle issue was added to his designation. He began last week not practicing as well, but wound up playing to the tune of 10 targets and a touchdown in Week 2. With several offensive skill players hurt for the 49ers, Jennings is in the WR3 range if he plays in Week 3 against the Cardinals.
