The Only Fantasy Football Waiver Wire You Need, Week 14

RB Zonovan Knight (NYJ) 54% Owned

Currently owned in only 54 percent of Sleeper redraft leagues, Knight may prove to be the missing piece of the puzzle that fantasy owners need to win their leagues. With Michael Carter out for Sunday’s game at the Vikings, Knight had 15 carries for ninety yards. He also contributed five catches for 28 yards, a total of 16.8 PPR fantasy points.

This game came on the heels of his week 12 game vs the Bears. In that game, he amassed a total of 103 combined rushing and receiving yards. With Breece Hall already out for the season, Knight has provided a spark to the Jets’ offense. Head Coach Robert Saleh said that Knight would continue to have a role, regardless of the health of Carter. With that being said, fantasy owners should pick up Knight as a potential RB2/flex for the rest of the season. Brian Craighead @vandygrad92

WR D.J. Chark (DET) 27% Owned

After not having played since week three, Chark has returned to the field and posted consecutive good games. On Sunday, he registered five catches(on six targets)l for 98 yards. In week 12, he scored a touchdown and had a total of two catches for 16 yards. In addition to recording good statistics over that two-game stretch, he has also played in at least 73 percent of the snaps in each game. Much heralded rookie Jameson Williams, meanwhile, played in only 11 percent of the snaps after missing the entire season recovering from a torn ACL. With six teams on bye in week 14, fantasy managers could do far worse than Chark as a bye-week replacement. Brian Craighead @vandygrad92

RB DeeJay Dallas (SEA) 3% Owned

Kenneth Walker III went down this week. Pete Carrol gave DeeJay Dallas the most carries after Walker went down. It wasn’t exactly the most successful day (10 rushes for 37 yards) he appears to be the lead. Hopefully, you don’t need him with playoffs coming but he could put up some points in a pinch possibly maybe. Nathan Janasik @MeLlamoMoron

QB Mike White (NYJ) 21% Owned

I never thought when I joined GoingFor2 that I would talk about the Jets so much but here I am. Mike White has been solid in the last two outings after the benching of the 2nd overall bust that was Zach Wilson. There are weapons in New York and White is talented enough to get them the ball and let them do their thing. In the admittedly small sample size Mike White is 5th in average points per game so get him before someone else does. Nathan Janasik @MeLlamoMoron

WR Corey Davis (NYJ) 19% Owned

Going into this season, I had many doubts about how fantasy-relevant Corey Davis would be. Up until this week, he hasn’t been very relevant but the tides are changing. In the past two weeks, he is only behind Garrett Wilson in wide receiver snap share. He has had 68 and 81 percent snap share respectively the past two weeks. Mike Hicks @dropthemikeFF

RB James Cook (BUF) 31% Owned

The Bills just don’t seem to want Devin Singleterry as their lead back. Every year he’s good, not great, and they draft a new rookie to try to replace him. This week, against a very good New England defense, James Cook had one carry (but was significantly more effective) and caught all 6 passes thrown his way. More opportunities mean more chances to make points. He may not be the starter yet, but he did outplay his competition this week. Looking forward he may get more chances to show his stuff. Nathan Janasik @MeLlamoMoron

QB Tyler Huntley (BAL) 3% Owned

If you lost Lamar this week, you could do worse than Tyler Huntley. He plays a lot like Lamar Jackson just not quite as well. In seven games last year Huntley averaged 42 rush yards per game. Quarterbacks with rushing upside are always worth having. The receiving corps is not particularly desirable but he has Mark Andrews so there’s that? Nathan Janasik @MeLlamoMoron

QB Jared Goff (DET) 49% Owned

If you’re scrambling for a QB and Goff is available, scoop him up. He’s coming off a great day (340 and 2 TDs) and gets a solid matchup versus the Minnesota defense next week. His weapons are also getting healthier, only boosting his case. He also has the Jets and Bears for the fantasy playoffs, giving him solid matchups there. Zachary Carlson @ZachAttack180

DST KC Cheifs 44% Owned

All of the good waivers were taken so I’m going to flip the switch and give you a DST to stash for the upcoming playoffs. Whether it’s for you to use in those juicy matchups or to block your opponent from picking them up, the Chiefs should be rostered in the coming weeks. You might have some competition this week because they do play Denver but if you happen to win the claim then you’re set up for Weeks 15 and 17.

Week 16 isn’t a bad matchup either. In week 15 they play the Texans who just gave up 2 defensive TDs and a special teams TD to the Cleveland Browns. Depending on your league’s scoring you were in pretty good shape with the Browns’ DST over 30 points. Week 16 has them against Seattle which isn’t a bad matchup but Geno and company can put up points. It’s up to you if you want to stream a second defense that week or just use the Chiefs.

Finally, in the Championship week, the Chiefs get a Denver Broncos team that’s averaging 13.8 points per game, in total. The number 1 seed in the AFC should still be in play so the Chiefs have everything to play for. Grab the Chiefs’ DST and plug them away for the rest of the fantasy season. Normally I wouldn’t throw FAAB at my DST but this is one that I’m willing to drop a few dollars on. Jerry Wilke @JerryWilkeFM

TE Noah Fant 19% Owned

Ok, yes he is owned in a higher percentage than most mentioned here, but seriously the tight-end position is so hard to navigate unless you own Kelce. Fant has been the 3rd in targets behind Lockett and DK. If you need a flex for next week, he gets the Panthers’ secondary. This is a deep league grab, but I see Geno throwing a ton in Week 14, and Fant finding the endzone again. There are numerous byes next week too so the likes of Kmet, Juwan and Taysom, and Tonyan will not be available. If the wire is bleak like mine is, Fant might be a decent grab. Courtney Burrows @luvtractor3
