Welcome to the Week 14 Waiver Wire. In this article, Wolf Trelles-Heard highlights the players you should prioritize on waivers as we head into Week 14. The targets are listed in shallow, standard, and deeper league options. However, there will (typically) be the most options under the standard column, as that will be the most popular range of targets.

Week 14 Shallow League Waiver Wire Targets
Note: This range will primarily apply to home leagues and those with shorter benches, with players available in at least 25% of leagues. Each player is listed with their current rostership percentage and a recommended FAAB bid range for a $100 budget. All values are in reference to four-point per passing touchdown leagues with PPR scoring unless otherwise noted.
Quarterback
Daniel Jones, Colts (62% Rostered) | $2-4
After a blazing, white-hot start, Daniel Jones has settled into high-end QB2 territory. Nothing wrong with that. His last QB1 finish came all the way back in Week 8, but he’s been remarkably consistent since, landing between 16.1 and 17.1 fantasy points in every game. He’s still the QB8 in expected fantasy points per game (18.2), suggesting the upside remains there.
The recent report that Jones is dealing with a fractured fibula but intends to gut it out for the rest of the season is definitely a concern. Still, as long as he’s on the field, Jones offers a reliable floor for managers who need stability heading into the fantasy playoffs.
Other options: C.J. Stroud, Texans (55%)
Running Back
Kyle Monangai, Bears (60% Rostered) | $ whatever you have left
How many rookie running backs have multiple 100-yard games? Just one. That’s right, seventh-round pick Kyle Monangai is the only rusher to accomplish that so far. Last week, he demolished the Eagles on the ground with 130 yards and a TD on 22 carries, showing everyone how physical and punishing he is.
He’s fully embraced the David Montgomery role in this offense and is thriving with a 4.9 YPC average. Monangai now has double-digit carries and fantasy points in three straight games. He’s firmly in the RB2 territory going forward and should be in lineups given the volume. Empty the clip to get him.
Jordan Mason, Vikings (67% Rostered) | $7-10
Keep a close eye on updates regarding Aaron Jones and his injured shoulder. He came down hard on his left shoulder during a tackle in Sunday’s loss to the Seahawks and was clearly in a lot of pain on the sideline. I’m not sure if it was the injury or the score, but he didn’t return to action.
Jordan Mason hasn’t seen a ton of volume recently with Jones back in the lineup, but he’s averaged at least 6.3 YPC in three of his last four games. If Jones misses any time, Mason becomes an intriguing play down the stretch with a lot of favorable matchups on the horizon: Commanders, Cowboys, Giants, and Lions. If you’re in need of an RB2 or upside flex play, toss a good chunk of whatever FAAB you have left to snag Mason.
Other options: Rhamondre Stevenson, Patriots (71%), Chuba Hubbard, Panthers (59%), Kareem Hunt, Chiefs (54%), Devin Neal, Saints (53%)
Wide Receiver
Chris Godwin, Buccaneers (66% Rostered) | $2-3
Oh, what could’ve been! Late in Tampa Bay’s victory over Arizona, Chris Godwin dropped a would-be TD that hit him right in the hands. Catch that, and his fantasy day looks awesome. Instead, he ended the day with three catches for 78 yards. Still, Godwin led the team in receiving and looked the closest he has to his pre-injury form since last season’s broken ankle.
Going forward, Godwin could provide WR3 production with a great schedule through the fantasy playoffs: Saints, Falcons, Panthers, and Dolphins. He could be worth an add, if available, as a main cog in the Bucs’ passing attack.
Other options: Mike Evans, Buccaneers (71%), Josh Downs, Colts (58%), Romeo Doubs, Packers (56%)
Tight End
Zach Ertz, Commanders (59% Rostered) | $2-4
Who saw Zach Ertz turning back the clock and looking like prime Gronk against one of the league’s fiercest defenses on Sunday night? Certainly not me. The 35-year-old went nuclear, catching 10 of 13 targets and topping the century mark with 106 yards. His night could’ve been even bigger — Ertz had a 30+ yard gain knocked out of his hands in the fourth quarter and later dropped a TD in the back of the end zone.
That said, his 20.6 PPR points were a season-high, good for a top-three finish this week. His usage suggests this wasn’t a fluke, either. Entering Week 13, Ertz was top-10 among TEs in target share, first-read target share, air yards, deep targets, and aDOT. He’s a bigger weapon in this offense than managers may realize. If available, he’s worth adding as a low-end TE1 you can trust.
Other options: Evan Engram, Broncos (58%)
Week 14 Standard League Waiver Wire Targets
Note: This range will primarily apply to most leagues with standard benches, with players available in at least 50% of leagues. Each player is listed with their current rostership percentage and a recommended FAAB bid range for a $100 budget. All values are in reference to four-point per passing touchdown leagues with PPR scoring unless otherwise noted.
Quarterback
Jacoby Brissett, Cardinals (39% Rostered) | $3-5
Since he took over as the Cardinals’ starter in Week 6, only three QBs have outscored Jacoby Brissett in fantasy: Josh Allen, Patrick Mahomes and Drake Maye. That’s it. And Maye only passed him because he played an extra game in that span. Brissett has been on an absolute tear, posting a weekly QB1 finish in every start with the league’s pass-happiest offense.
Brissett does have two very tough matchups against the Rams and Texans up next, but after those, he draws the lowly Falcons and then the Bengals’ porous defense in the fantasy championship. If he’s still sitting on waivers, he’s a must-add for anyone with a murky QB situation.
Other options: Trevor Lawrence, Jaguars (45%)
Running Back
Tyler Allgeier, Falcons (38% Rostered) | $2-3
For much of the season, Tyler Allgeier has been a hit-or-miss flex option. Really, he’s more of a thorn in the side of Bijan Robinson managers than anything else. But Allgeier scored another TD — his eighth of the season — Sunday against the Jets, after Robinson failed to punch it in the end zone. The change-of-pace option for Atlanta delivered 55 total yards and 13.5 fantasy points, good for an RB2 finish.
He has a tough matchup this week against the Seahawks’ stifling defense, but Allgeier has seen double-digit touches in three of his last four, so he remains on the flex radar. Better matchups come in the fantasy playoffs against the Bucs and Cardinals in Weeks 15 and 16. If you are desperate, he’s serviceable, but don’t expect a matchup-winning performance from him.
Chris Rodriguez Jr., Commanders (26% Rostered) | $2-3
With four teams on bye this week, managers with Christian McCaffrey or Rico Dowdle may find themselves scrambling for a spot start. May I interest you in some Chris Rodriguez Jr.? He offers little upside due to zero work in the passing game, but he’s seen double-digit carries in three of his last four games and scored three times.
If he punches it into the end zone against the Vikings this week, Rodriguez Jr. could be a decent RB2 or flex play. If not … well, I’m sorry. At least he’s a warm body and touching the ball, and sometimes that’s all you need in fantasy. You could do worse if you need help at RB this week.
Other options: Devin Singletary, Giants (32%), Bhayshul Tuten, Jaguars (37%), Tyjae Spears, Titans (41%)
Wide Receiver
Christian Watson, Packers (37% Rostered) | $6-8
How awesome has Christian Watson been since returning from a torn ACL? After a two-week ramp-up period starting in Week 8, Watson has played over 70% of the snaps in every game since. In that span, he’s produced two WR1 weeks, including last week’s 18.3 fantasy-point performance against Detroit.
Coming off a season-high 10 targets and 80-yard outing, Watson possesses WR2 upside for the rest of the season with favorable matchups against the Bears in two of the next three weeks. You know he’s going to get a deep shot or two every game. If you need some firepower in your lineup and someone who could help swing a matchup, Watson is your guy off waivers.
Jayden Higgins, Texans (37% Rostered) | $3-5
It took some time, but post-bye Jayden Higgins has settled into a solid WR2 role with the Texans. Against the Colts last week, the rookie caught all five of his targets for 65 yards, and he now has double-digit fantasy points in four of his last six games.
If he can continue growing in this offense and earning more snaps, Higgins could be a plug-and-play WR3 or flex over the final month of the season. Grab him now and stash — he has a rough matchup against the Chiefs this week, but the Cardinals and Raiders that follow are much more fantasy-friendly opponents.
Other options: Jayden Reed, Packers (40%)
Tight End
Dalton Schultz, Texans (48% Rostered) | $1-2
If you are looking for some cheap PPR goodness in your TE slot, you might want to take a shot at Dalton Schultz. Ignoring his Week 12 clunker, he’s averaging 13.9 PPR points since Week 9. Schultz is earning targets at a high clip — third among all TEs with 80 — and is a safety blanket for his QB.
Schultz grades out more like a TE2 when it comes to efficiency, but the sheer volume he’s getting is propping him up. His matchup against Kansas City will be difficult, but after that, he gets the Cardinals, Raiders, and Chargers through the fantasy playoffs. Schultz is an easy add for a buck or two of FAAB.
Other options: Juwan Johnson, Saints (43%), Harold Fannin Jr. , Browns (46%), Brenton Strange, Jaguars (28%)
Week 14 Deep League Waiver Wire Targets
Note: This range will apply to leagues with deeper benches and more experienced managers, with players available in at least 75% of leagues. Each player is listed with their current rostership percentage and a recommended FAAB bid range for a $100 budget. All values are in reference to four-point per passing touchdown leagues with PPR scoring unless otherwise noted.
Quarterback
Tyrod Taylor, Jets (5% Rostered) | $1-3
I can’t believe that I’m suggesting 36-year-old Tyrod Taylor as an option in the year 2025, but here we are. Last Sunday against the Falcons, Unc was balling and led the Jets to a victory by playing efficient football. Always a dual-threat, Taylor posted 172 passing yards and 44 rushing yards, while scoring a TD through the air and another on the ground.
This week, he gets the Dolphins, followed by the Jaguars and Saints. Thanks to his rushing upside, Taylor has low-end QB1 potential every game and can be an inexpensive waiver add for anyone looking to play matchups the rest of the season.
Other options: Marcus Mariota, Commanders (13%), Tyler Shough, Saints (8%)
Running Back
Blake Corum, Rams (17% Rostered) | $2-4
Kyren Williams might want to watch his back. Blake Corum is lurking around, ready to take on a larger role. The second-year pro from Michigan ripped off a few chunk plays in Sunday’s loss to the Panthers and looked like the more explosive option in the backfield. Corum only saw seven carries but finished with 81 yards and his second TD of the season.
Entering Week 13, Corum was RB12 in PlayerProfiler’s Explosive Rating — and that’s about to improve after he had three more carries of 10+ yards. He has a chance to see a dozen touches this coming week against the Cardinals in what should be an easy win for the Rams. If the contest gets out of hand, look for the Rams to turn to him to help salt the game away. He’s a true dart throw but worth a flyer in this high-powered offense.
Other options: Samaje Perine, Bengals (3%)
Wide Receiver
Adonai Mitchell, Jets (4% Rostered) | $2-3
All it took was a trade to the Jets, Garrett Wilson being out with an injury, and Justin Fields getting benched to unlock Adonai Mitchell. I jest, but what we saw from him last week was why many analysts were excited about him since he was drafted in the second round in 2024. Mitchell finally popped, catching eight of 12 targets for 102 yards and scoring his first TD as a pro. His 24.2 fantasy points were by far the most of his young career and gave him his first WR1 finish.
Mitchell has now seen 25 targets in his three games with the Jets and looks like he could be a boom-or-bust option for managers in deep formats for as long as Wilson is sidelined. Think of him as Christian Watson-lite. The blowup potential is there, but don’t be shocked if he has a dud or two if you’re brave enough to start him.
Dontayvion Wicks, Packers (3% Rostered) | $1-2
That sound you heard on Thanksgiving was every analytics bro cheering in unison each time Dontayvion Wicks touched the ball — they’ve loved him for years. The overall WR3 last week, Wicks found the end zone twice on six receptions for 94 yards. He also sprinkled in a six-yard rush to get him to the century mark.
Before last week’s explosion, Wicks’ season-high in fantasy points was a mere 8.4 all the way back in Week 2. Don’t go chasing waterfalls, but with a fantasy-friendly game against the Bears on deck, Wicks could be in play if you are looking for upside in the Packers’ passing game.
Other options: Kayshon Boutte, Patriots (23%), Luther Burden III, Bears (13%), Jalen Coker, Panthers (5%)
Tight End
Isaiah Likely, Ravens (18% Rostered) | $1-2
For Bengals fans, Isaiah Likely was in the gift-giving mood a little too early Thanksgiving night against Cincinnati — he stretched out after a long 44-yard catch-and-run only to have the ball slip out of his hands maybe an inch or two short of scoring. That was a brutal moment for Likely, but still, his performance was encouraging from a fantasy perspective. He led the team with six targets and racked up 95 yards, finishing with his first TE1 outing of 2025.
He draws the Steelers this week but gets a rematch with the Bengals in Week 15. Likely’s been pretty useless in our game all season, but I think he’s worth a stash in case last week was the start of something.
Other options: AJ Barner, Seahawks (18%)
