Finally, we are in the last week of vacation. Soon, we will have the healthy options of all 32 teams at our disposal. However, we’re still looking to get back the wide receiver pieces out of action this week, and our Week 14 fantasy WR rankings can help you make the right decisions to start, sit down.
The most notable wide receivers are Michael Pittman Jr., Jaylen Waddle, DeVonta Smith and Kendrick Bourne. Fortunately, none of them have teammates that drastically affect rosters, so we are free. Welcome back Davante Adams (against the Bears) and DJ Moore (against the Falcons), who immediately draw juicy matchups. It’s worth noting that Julio Jones (against Jaguars) may return from IR this week after dealing with a hamstring problem, and it will be a very risky start, but with AJ Brown (chest) in IR, it would be hard to resist. lets start. him against Jacksonville.
WEEK 14 STANDARD RANKINGS:
Field marshal | Running backwards | Tight end | D / ST | Kicker
Chris Godwin (vs. Bills), Mike Evans (vs. Bills), and Cooper Kupp (@ Cardinals) have grim matchups ahead, but you’re not going to knock those guys out of your lineups. One of Evans or Godwin could fail, but the advantage is too great.
WEEK 14 PPR RANKINGS:
Field marshal | Running backwards | Wide receiver | Tight end | D / ST | Kicker
If you are deciding between players in the start or sit bubble, we are very happy with Elijah Moore (against Saints), Chase Claypool (@ Vikings), Emmanuel Sanders (against Buccaneers) and the aforementioned Julio Jones (against Jaguars). New Orleans and Minnesota are in the bottom three defenses against the fantasy WRs. Jacksonville is the 11th worst. Those three WRs rank in the top 24 players for us this week.
Further down the list, Corey Davis (vs. Saints), Robby Anderson (vs. Falcons), Tre’Quan Smith (@ Jets), Jerry Jeudy and Courtland Sutton (vs. Lions), Michael Gallup (@ Washington) and Cole Beasley (vs. Buccaneers) also have favorable matchups. They all carry risk and potential for bankruptcy, so they are not ranked higher, but every WR is in a position to have a productive week. The next level of players with solid matchups is Márquez Valdés-Scantling (@ Bears), Márquez Callaway and Deonte Harris (@ Jets), Curtis Samuel (vs. Cowboys), Nico Collins (vs. Seahawks), Marvin Jones, Laquon Treadwell, and Laviska Shenault (@ Titans), and Jamison Crowder (vs. Saints). Those are all boom or bust players, but if you’re in deep leagues, you might want to consider one.
Across the starting line, Rashod Bateman (@ Browns), AJ Green (vs. Rams), Allen Robinson (@ Packers), Josh Reynolds and Amon-Ra St. Brown (@ Broncos) are in real danger this week. Some may never consider starting with these guys, but they’ve all been productive on streaks this year, so be careful in deeper leagues. Also, watch out for the constant injuries that concern Kadarius Toney and Sterling Shepard (@ Chargers). They have a lot of advantages if they play, even in a tough matchup with a backup quarterback pitching them, but they shouldn’t be counted on until we see them on the final active roster.
Fighting numbers can tell us a lot at this time of year, but we know wide receivers just need one big play to pay off. There are plenty of potential sleepers available this week statistically, but you shouldn’t ignore the target trends either. Balance the two and you will find your entrees.
Note: We will update these WR ratings as needed throughout the week, so check back for the latest changes and analysis.
