There is one week remaining in the fantasy football regular season, and it’s time to set your lineups for Week 14. Six teams are on a bye this week, meaning wide receivers on the Ravens, Broncos, Texans, Colts, Patriots, and Commanders are unavailable for fantasy managers. Below are the wide receiver rankings, tiers, and analysis for Week 14.<\/span><\/p>\n

Wide Receivers Rankings for Week 14 Fantasy Football<\/h2>\n

Tier 1: Alpha Wide Receivers<\/strong><\/h3>\n

1. Ja\u2019Marr Chase<\/span>
\n2. Amon-Ra St. Brown<\/span>
\n3. Justin Jefferson<\/span>
\n4. Puka Nacua<\/span>
\n5. CeeDee Lamb<\/span>
\n6. A.J. Brown<\/span>
\n7. Cooper Kupp<\/span><\/p>\n

Chase continued his hot streak, catching six of nine targets for 86 yards and a touchdown. He has caught at least one touchdown in five of his last six games and eight of ten. Chase has finished as a top-12 fantasy wide receiver in five of the last six weeks. He plays the Cowboys<\/a> defense that is struggling this season. Chase remains on the top of the wide receiver rankings for Week 14.<\/span><\/p>\n

Nacua is one of the most consistent wide receivers in fantasy football when he can stay on the field. Since he returned from injury, he has played in five full games, excluding the game where he was ejected for throwing a punch. He has scored at least 17 fantasy points in all five of those games. Nacua has a tougher matchup against the Bills<\/a> in Week 14, but he is a top-five receiver for the rest of the season.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tier 2: Low-End WR1s to High-End WR2s<\/strong><\/h3>\n

8. Drake London<\/span>
\n9. Mike Evans<\/span>
\n10. Ladd McConkey*<\/span>
\n11. Tyreek Hill<\/span>
\n12. Garrett Wilson<\/span>
\n13. Tee Higgins<\/span>
\n14. DK Metcalf<\/span><\/p>\n

London had a whopping 16 targets in the Week 13 loss. Quarterback Kirk Cousins<\/a> did not have a good game, throwing four interceptions<\/a>. However, Cousins kept throwing the football, allowing London to have a good day. He caught nine of those targets for 86 yards. He finished with 17.3 fantasy points, which was good for a top-20 finish on the week. London and the Falcons<\/a> have a better matchup in Week 14 against a Vikings<\/a> defense that has allowed the most fantasy points to wide receivers this year.<\/span><\/p>\n

Hill had his best fantasy performance since Week 1, scoring 20.3 fantasy points. He only had one catch for two yards in the first half, but the Dolphins<\/a> made it a point to get him the ball after halftime. He finished with six catches for 83 yards and a touchdown on a pass that was tipped. This was an encouraging sign for Hill who only had one top-12 weekly finish since Week 1. The Dolphins play a Jets<\/a> secondary that has allowed the fewest fantasy points to wide receivers this season. Hill is a borderline WR1 for Week 14 in the wide receiver rankings.<\/span><\/p>\n

*McConkey entered the Week 13 game with a shoulder injury and got a knee injury. He is questionable for Week 14.<\/em><\/p>\n

Tier 3: Solid WR2s<\/strong><\/h3>\n

15. George Pickens<\/span>
\n16. Marvin Harrison Jr<\/span>
\n17. Davante Adams<\/span>
\n18. Jayden Reed<\/span>
\n19. Jaxon Smith-Njigba<\/span>
\n20. Brian Thomas Jr<\/span>
\n21. Malik Nabers<\/span>
\n22. Calvin Ridley<\/span>
\n23. Jerry Jeudy<\/span>
\n24. D.J. Moore<\/span><\/p>\n

Harrison Jr. continued his up-down season with an up game last week. He caught five passes for 60 yards and a touchdown. He saw a season-high 12 targets but unfortunately only caught five of them. The connection between Murray and Harrison is not there. Harrison has scored single-digit fantasy points six times this season but has scored at least 15 points in the other six games. Harrison Jr.\u2019s ceiling keeps him as a WR2 in the wide receiver rankings for Week 14.<\/span><\/p>\n

Quarterback Aaron Rodgers was pampering Adams with targets all day. Adams had 12 targets but only caught five for 66 yards and a touchdown. Adams has seen double-digit targets in three of his last four games. Rodgers is making it a point to get him the ball. With this target share, Adams is a solid WR2 for this week.<\/span><\/p>\n

Jeudy went off in his revenge game against the Broncos. He caught nine of thirteen targets for 235 yards, a touchdown, and a two-point conversion. He finished with 40.5 fantasy points, the highest score among all players at all positions last week. The Browns play the Steelers again next week, and Jeudy scored 14.5 fantasy points against them two weeks ago. Fire Jeudy up as a WR2 from here on out.<\/p>\n

Tier 4: WR3s<\/strong><\/h3>\n

25. Khalil Shakir
\n26. Jakobi Meyers<\/span>
\n27. Darnell Mooney<\/span>
\n28. DeVonta Smith*<\/span>
\n29. Deebo Samuel<\/span>
\n30. Jauan Jennings<\/span><\/p>\n

Meyers continues to perform regardless of who is at quarterback. He had 15 targets in Week 13 and 11 last week. He finished with 15.7 fantasy points last week with Aidan O\u2019Connell at quarterback. The Raiders<\/a> are a two-man passing offense with Meyers and tight end Brock Bowers. The high target share keeps Meyers’s fantasy relevant once again this week.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mooney has struggled in the last two games, scoring just 4.7 and 5 fantasy points, respectively. However, those were against two tough passing defenses in the Broncos<\/a> and the Chargers<\/a>. He gets an easier matchup against the Vikings this week. Mooney is still a top-20 wide receiver on the year. Mooney should bounce back this week.<\/span><\/p>\n

*Smith has missed the last two games with a hamstring injury and is questionable for Week 14.<\/em><\/p>\n

Tier 5: FLEX Plays<\/strong><\/h3>\n

31. Jameson Williams<\/span>
\n32. Xavier Legette<\/span>
\n33. Adam Thielen<\/span>
\n34. Keenan Allen<\/span>
\n35. DeAndre Hopkins<\/span>
\n36. Xavier Worthy<\/span>
\n37. Jaylen Waddle<\/span>
\n38. Brandin Cooks<\/span>
\n39. Rome Odunze<\/span>
\n40. Christian Watson<\/span><\/p>\n

Thielen had a resurgent day in the overtime loss, catching eight of ten targets for 99 yards and a touchdown. He should have had a second touchdown, but it was wrongfully called an incomplete pass. He made an incredible one-handed catch to keep a drive going in overtime. Quarterback Bryce Young<\/a> is looking much better since his return from his benching. Him and Thielen had a good stretch of games together last year. Thielen is back on the fantasy radar as a FLEX play this week.<\/span><\/p>\n
