Week 14 is here. With it comes the high-wire tension that defines the end of the fantasy football regular season. For many managers, this week decides the difference between championship hopes or an early winter. Lineup decisions are never more pressure-packed than right now. Nowhere is that pressure heavier than at wide receiver. With injuries mounting and matchups tightening, choosing the right WRs could be the single most important move you make this season.
Let’s break down the Wide Receivers you must lock into lineups and the ones you should keep far away as we enter a critical Week 14 slate.
CeeDee Lamb continues to operate as one of the most bankable wide receivers in all of fantasy football. In Week 13, he delivered 112 yards and a touchdown against Kansas City. Lamb has seen seven or more targets in six straight games. That reaffirms his status as Dak Prescott’s top option and the engine of the Cowboys’ passing attack.
Detroit has hemorrhaged production to outside receivers for much of the season. Lamb’s elite route-running and volume make him a slam-dunk WR1 in Week 14.
Jameson Williams is finally becoming the nightmare matchup Detroit envisioned when it built its offense around speed. Over his last seven games, Williams has hit six-plus targets, 60-plus yards, and a touchdown in five of them. His field-stretching ability has evolved into all-around WR1 production.
If Amon-Ra St. Brown (ankle) misses time or is limited, Williams’ target ceiling climbs even higher. Dallas can be beaten deep. As such, Williams’ chemistry with Jared Goff could erupt in a big way this week.
The Bengals offense is finding its rhythm. Ja’Marr Chase is heating up at exactly the right time for fantasy football managers. Chase saw 14 targets in Week 13 and turned them into 110 yards. That marked his sixth game in his last seven with at least 90 receiving yards.
Buffalo’s secondary has struggled with elite perimeter talent this season. Chase’s volume is too high to fade in any format. A matchup with playoff implications should ensure another heavy target share. Lock him in confidently as a top-five WR for Week 14.
Puka Nacua remains a model of consistency. He posted 6 catches for 72 yards in Week 13 and has now logged at least five receptions in five straight contests. Sure, Davante Adams handles more red-zone work. Still, Nacua’s intermediate role and target reliability make him invaluable.
Arizona’s defense has been repeatedly exposed by physical route-runners. Nacua’s YAC ability gives him a favorable floor and a strong ceiling. He remains a must-start WR1 in all formats.
Other Starts: George Pickens, DAL (vs. DET); Davante Adams, LAR (@ ARI)
Emeka Egbuka remains heavily involved in Tampa Bay’s passing offense. He led the team in receptions last week. That said,...
