We take a look at top fantasy football waiver wire targets for Week 14.
As we enter the later part of the fantasy football season, fantasy football playoff seedings are beginning to become clearer, and for many, it’s playoff time.
With that in mind, this time of year is one where waiver wires are extremely important. With injuries and other situations piling up, a selection off the waiver wire could propel your team to an important victory. With offense continuing to rule the day in the National Football League, players like running backs and wide receivers are even more important.
With that in mind, we take a look at your waiver wire targets or week 14, and who you should pick up for next week.
An early look at WRs who are getting ranked too low for 2020.
Training camp is just getting underway, which means fantasy football drafts are just around the corner. Maybe there isn’t any preseason to help you prepare for what might be the most challenging fantasy season in recent memory. Maybe you’re preparing for the possibility that the novel coronavirus pandemic will influence the NFL season — and, in turn, the fantasy football season.
But if you need a momentary distraction from the real world and if you need a little fantasy (football), then let’s take a look at seven receivers that seem like strong sleeper candidates for the upcoming year. We’ve taken a look at FantasyPros.com to identify players whose rankings are too low for PPR.
1. Justin Jefferson, Vikings (ADP: 132nd overall)
Adam Theilen is Kirk Cousins’ only option after the departure of Stefon Diggs. Dalvin Cook will continue to serve as the lead back in the offense, and perhaps his role will increase in 2020 without Diggs. Even so, Diggs left behind 63 catches, 1,130 yards and six touchdowns. There’s plenty of work for Jefferson in this offense.

It’s too early to say if he’ll immediately be able to handle the NFL’s speed. But Jefferson was one of Joe Burrow’s favorite targets at LSU, where the young receiver was facing some NFL-caliber cornerbacks. What’s more, his route-running abilities from the slot translate naturally to Minnesota’s offense. On paper, Jefferson should immediately jump in and put up numbers.
