We have finally made it to Week 14. For most leagues, this week signals the end of the regular season in fantasy football. Unfortunately, the final week of the regular season features four teams on bye weeks and several players navigating new injuries. Picking up the right streaming options on the waiver wire can be the difference between a chance at a fantasy championship and playing for pride in the consolation bracket.
This article will focus on players available in at least 50% of Yahoo leagues, as well as some deep sleepers rostered in less than 20% of leagues. Without further ado, here are the best Week 14 fantasy football streaming options at every position.

Quarterback Streaming Options Week 14
Tyrod Taylor, New York Jets vs Miami Dolphins (12% Rostered)
The Tyrod Taylor experience delivered everything fantasy managers could have hoped for against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 13. Taylor completed just 57.6% of his passes, but he threw for 172 yards and a touchdown (without an interception) and added eight carries for 44 yards and a touchdown as a runner. His 21.3 fantasy points ranked seventh among the position.
Taylor has at least three carries in every game he has played this season. He’s surpassed 20 rushing yards three times and has gone over 40 yards twice. That ability helps raise Taylor’s floor each week in fantasy and, if he finds the end zone, can elevate his ceiling as well.
His Week 14 opponent, the Miami Dolphins, has allowed the seventh most points per game to quarterbacks this season in fantasy (19.0). However, they have struggled the most to contain rushing quarterbacks. Against the Dolphins, quarterbacks have the third most rushing yards (296) and touchdowns (four) despite having just the seventh most rushing attempts (58).
Deep Sleeper: Tyler Shough, New Orleans Saints at Tampa Bay Buccaneers (8% Rostered)
Tyler Shough had a strong performance in a loss to the Miami Dolphins in Week 13, throwing for 239 yards and two touchdowns with an interception while adding six carries for 18 yards. Shough finished with 18.4 fantasy points in the game, which pushed him to a QB12 finish on the week. It was the second top-12 finish for the rookie in his last three games.
Tyler Shough Advanced Stats & Metrics Profile
The Saints are currently sixth among all NFL teams in pass plays per game (38.3) and have not shied away from letting Shough throw the ball since their Week 11 bye. He has 81 attempts in his last two games and has done a good job avoiding negative plays.
The Buccaneers’ pass defense has struggled since their Week 9 bye week, allowing four straight games with at least 270 passing yards and two touchdowns. Of course, those matchups came against Drake Maye, Josh Allen, Matthew Stafford, and Jacoby Brissett, so that is a contributing factor. But Shough still has a shot at a decent game in this matchup.
Honorable Mention: J.J. McCarthy, Minnesota Vikings vs Washington Commanders (30% Rostered)
A matchup against the Washington Commanders’ secondary could be just what J.J. McCarthy needs to start getting his season back on track. The Commanders are allowing the third most fantasy points per game to quarterbacks in 2025 (19.6) and are tied for the eighth fewest interceptions generated (six).
J.J. McCarthy Advanced Stats & Metrics Profile
McCarthy has at least two interceptions in each of his last three starts and in four of his six starts this year. If he can reign that in against a subpar secondary, then he could provide another solid fantasy performance.
Running Back Streaming Options Week 14
Chris Rodriguez Jr., Washington Commanders at Minnesota Vikings (34% Rostered)
The Washington Commanders’ backfield has devolved into a three-way split between Chris Rodriguez Jr., Jacory Croskey-Merritt, and Jeremy McNichols. Right now, Rodriguez is the most intriguing of the three options.
Since Week 9, the veteran running back is pacing the backfield in both snap share (40.1%) and rushing opportunity share (34.1%). His 25.7% route participation is second only to McNichols. During this four-game sample, Rodriguez has handled 44 carries for 201 yards and three touchdowns.
The Commanders should be in a neutral or positive game script in this matchup, especially with Jayden Daniels set to return. That should equal plenty of opportunities for Rodriguez to have a solid fantasy performance.
Deep Sleeper: Keaton Mitchell, Baltimore Ravens vs Pittsburgh Steelers (3% Rostered)
There aren’t many deep sleeper running backs capable of making an impact on the waiver wire this week, so we will turn to Baltimore running back Keaton Mitchell.
Keaton Mitchell Advanced Stats & Metrics Profile
Veteran Justice Hill was placed on injured reserve before Week 13, but unfortunately, that move didn’t turn into more production for Mitchell. Second-year running back Rasheen Ali actually led the backfield in snaps against the Cincinnati Bengals (47.4%) thanks to his ability as a pass protector.
Despite that, Ali was still third behind both Derrick Henry (10 carries for 60 yards and a touchdown and one reception for 44 yards) and Mitchell (two carries for 19 yards and a touchdown with two receptions for 12 yards) in production.
Mitchell is the most explosive player in Baltimore’s backfield and will hopefully see his role grow as long as the Ravens aren’t in a deep negative game script. That should be the case against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 14.
Wide Receiver Streaming Options Week 14
Pat Bryant, Denver Broncos at Las Vegas Raiders (3% Rostered)
The Denver Broncos have been incorporating Pat Bryant into their offensive game plan more over their last two games. Bryant is third on the team in routes run (60) and leads the wide receiver group in both targets per route run (0.22) and yards per route run (2.07) while functioning as the team’s primary slot receiver (65% slot rate).
Pat Bryant Advanced Stats & Metrics Profile
The 2025 third-round pick earned his highest target load (seven) and snap share (70%) of the season in Denver’s overtime win against the Washington Commanders in Week 13. His Week 14 opponent, the Las Vegas Raiders, have allowed the fourth most targets per route run (0.25) and the seventh most touchdowns (eight) to slot receivers this season.
Deep Sleeper: Luther Burden III, Chicago Bears at Green Bay Packers (9% Rostered)
Luther Burden had his second straight game with a snap share above 50% in Week 13 against the Philadelphia Eagles. It was also his fourth straight game above a 40% snap share.
The results haven’t been there for the rookie wide receiver, but everything suggests he is close to having a great game. Since Chicago’s bye in Week 9, the 2025 second-round pick has been targeted 19 times, catching 13 passes for 157 yards. His 0.38 fantasy points per route run trails only Colston Loveland in Chicago’s offense during that time.
Expect the Bears to try to utilize Burden’s yards after the catch ability and elusiveness in the open field in a crucial divisional matchup against the Green Bay Packers in Week 14.
Honorable Mention: Adonai Mitchell, New York Jets vs Miami Dolphins (21% Rostered)
The New York Jets have not let Adonai Mitchell‘s struggle in his Jets debut slow down their plan to feed him targets. Over the last three weeks, Mitchell has averaged 8.3 targets and 3.7 receptions per game. He is eighth in the NFL in targets since joining the New York Jets.
Adonai Mitchell Advanced Stats & Metrics Profile
More importantly, Mitchell showed what happens when he can catch the ball in Week 13’s win over the Atlanta Falcons. In that game, the second-year receiver caught eight of his 12 targets for 102 yards and a touchdown. Mitchell accounted for 59.8% of the Jets’ air yards against the Falcons, which was the second-highest percentage of the week behind only Jordan Addison against the Seahawks (63%).
The Jets will continue to funnel targets to Mitchell as long as Garrett Wilson is on injured reserve and Tyrod Taylor is under center, setting him up for another potentially productive outing.
Tight End Streaming Options Week 14
Evan Engram, Denver Broncos at Las Vegas Raiders (39% Rostered)
Evan Engram is coming off his best game with the Denver Broncos, catching six of nine targets for 79 yards on a 54.3% snap share. Engram will ultimately be a disappointment for fantasy managers for his whole body of work with the Broncos in 2025, but he has a chance to salvage his fantasy value down the stretch.
Evan Engram Advanced Stats & Metrics Profile
The Raiders have been excellent against tight ends this season, allowing just 5.4 fantasy points per game to the position. However, Engram doesn’t function like a traditional tight end, so he could be in line for a stronger day relative to expectations.
Deep Sleeper: Colby Parkinson, Los Angeles Rams at Arizona Cardinals (2% Rostered)
Colby Parkinson had a three-game streak with a touchdown snapped in Week 13, but he’s been a consistent part of the Rams’ passing attack with Tyler Higbee on the injured reserve. In two games without Higbee in the lineup, Parkinson is averaging a 64.8% snap share. He’s been targeted nine times, catching eight passes for 68 yards and a touchdown.
The Arizona Cardinals have given up the 10th most points per game to tight ends this season (8.5), giving Parkinson a good matchup for his expanded role.
Honorable Mention: Darren Waller, Miami Dolphins at New York Jets (35% Rostered)
Darren Waller returned from the injured reserve in Week 14, catching two of his three targets for 47 yards. His one incomplete target was in the end zone.
Waller made his mark in his three healthy games this season as a weapon in the end zone, catching four touchdowns in his first three games. It was good to see that the Dolphins had no problem going right back to him in the end zone, even if they weren’t able to convert.
The Jets are tied for the third most touchdowns surrendered to tight ends this season, making Waller an appealing option for fantasy managers in a pinch.
