Whether you're still in pursuit of a spot in the Fantasy football playoffs or you've already clinched a berth, working the Fantasy football waiver wire effectively is a must at this stage of the season. Christian McCaffrey went down with a knee injury on Sunday against the Bills and is expected to miss around six weeks. Meanwhile, his backup Jordan Mason (ankle) is also heading to injured reserve, so even if you had McCaffrey handcuffed, you'll be looking for a replacement for your Week 14 Fantasy football lineups.
So which Fantasy football running backs should you be targeting on the Fantasy football waiver wire this week? Before making any Week 14 Fantasy football waiver claims, be sure to see what SportsLine Fantasy football expert R.J. White has to say.
White has dominated NFL betting picks for years, but he got his start in sports media as a Fantasy baseball and football analyst. He finished No. 1 among all experts for his draft rankings the first year FantasyPros tracked MLB expert accuracy on their site. White has continued to excel at season-long and dynasty Fantasy baseball and football formats.
Now, he's revealed his top waiver wire picks from among the widely available Fantasy football free agents entering Week 14. You can see his top Fantasy NFL waiver wire picks and full analysis over at SportsLine.
Top Fantasy football waiver wire picks for Week 14
One player White is advising Fantasy players to target on the Week 14 waiver wire: Panthers wide receiver Adam Thielen. The veteran wide receiver had a sneakily productive year in 2023, catching 103 passes for 1,014 yards and four touchdowns despite some inconsistent quarterback play from rookie Bryce Young.
Then Thielen battled injuries most of this season but he's coming off his most productive outing of the season. He caught eight passes for 99 yards and a touchdown and made a circus catch to extend what should have been a game-winning drive but Chuba Hubbard coughed up the football on the next play. He's likely to be the top option in an offense that will be playing from behind and White advises spending up to 11% of your free agency budget on him.
White also has a recommendation for how to handle Jaguars wide receiver Parker Washington. He had a pocket of usefulness earlier in the season but nothing like Sunday's performance, and with the Jaguars figuring to be a high-volume passing team as they play out the string, he could be a sneaky good Fantasy starter in the playoffs.
"We speculated Washington's role could grow after Gabe Davis' injury, last week making him a deep-league option on the wire," White told SportsLine. "He's much more than that after seeing a team-high 12 targets while catching six passes for 103 yards and a touchdown, with most of the work coming with backup Mac Jones."
