Waiver Wire Pickups Week 14

Waiver Wire Week 14

I hope everyone enjoyed a wonderful Thanksgiving with family, friends, and plenty of good food. Now we turn to Week 14, the final week of the fantasy regular season. This is the last chance to secure a playoff spot and strengthen your roster before the postseason begins. Waiver wire pickups now aren’t just about this week; they’re about setting yourself up for the playoff run starting in Week 15. Whether you need injury replacements, flex options, or high‑upside stashes, the right move today can shape your postseason. Let’s dive into the players who can help you finish strong and prepare to advance.

Tyrod Taylor

51% Rostered on Sleeper

Tyrod Taylor went 19-of-33 for 172 yards and one touchdown in his last outing against Atlanta, showing steady command of the Jets’ offense. In Week 14, he faces Miami in what sets up as a very good matchup. The Dolphins rank 8th-worst in points allowed to opposing quarterbacks, and their aggressive style often leaves openings for big plays downfield. Taylor’s dual-threat ability gives him added upside, especially if the Jets are forced into a pass-heavy script. He’s not a locked-in starter, but for managers in need of a streaming option, Taylor is worth consideration this week.

Blake Corum

86% Rostered on Sleeper

With Kyren Williams sidelined by an ankle injury, Blake Corum stepped in as the primary back and made the most of his opportunity. Against Carolina in Week 13, he carried the ball 7 times for 81 yards and scored a touchdown, flashing both burst and efficiency. In Week 14, he faces Arizona, a defense that ranks 8th-worst in fantasy points allowed to opposing running backs. The matchup sets up well for Corum to continue producing, and his role should expand with Williams out. He’s a strong waiver pickup and a viable RB2/flex play for managers heading into the playoff rounds.

Chris Rodriguez Jr.

76% Rostered on Sleeper

Rodriguez saw meaningful work in Week 13 against Denver, carrying the ball 11 times for 41 yards and punching in a touchdown. With Washington’s backfield banged up, he’s carving out a role as a physical runner who can grind out tough yards and finish drives. In Week 14, he faces Minnesota in what profiles as a decent matchup. The Vikings have shown vulnerability against the run at times, and Rodriguez’s goal-line usage makes him an intriguing depth add. He’s not a locked-in starter, but for managers in need of running back help, Rodriguez offers flex appeal with touchdown upside.

Devin Singletary

77% Rostered on Sleeper

With Tyrone Tracy Jr. sidelined by a hip injury, Devin Singletary steps in as the lone back for New York. He produced last week against New England, rushing 12 times for 68 yards and a touchdown, showing he can handle the workload. The Giants are on a bye in Week 14, so managers will need to stash him, but the payoff comes immediately after. In Week 15, he faces Washington, a defense that ranks 5th worst in fantasy points allowed to opposing running backs. Singletary is a smart pickup now, with flex-level upside in the following round to help keep playoff hopes alive.

Isaac TeSlaa

81% Rostered on Sleeper

With Amon-Ra St. Brown dealing with an ankle injury, Isaac TeSlaa could see expanded work in Week 14. He flashed last week against Green Bay, catching both of his targets for 35 yards and a touchdown, showing he can capitalize on limited opportunities. Now he faces Dallas, a defense that ranks as the worst in points allowed to opposing wide receivers. The matchup sets up perfectly for TeSlaa to deliver value, and his role could grow if St. Brown is limited. He’s absolutely flex-worthy this week and has the potential to earn you a win to advance to the playoffs.

Devaughn Vele

38% Rostered on Sleeper

Vele is emerging as a volume-heavy target in New Orleans, and his breakout is starting to take shape. Against Miami last week, he caught all 8 of his targets for 93 yards and a touchdown, showing both efficiency and playmaking ability. This isn’t entirely out of nowhere. He flashed potential during his time in Denver, and now he’s beginning to rise in a Saints offense that needs reliable weapons. In Week 14, he faces Tampa Bay, a defense that ranks 11th worst in points allowed to opposing wide receivers. Vele is a savvy waiver pickup who could surprise opponents and swing playoff matchups.

Dontayvion Wicks

49% Rostered on Sleeper

Wicks stepped up last week against Detroit, catching 6-of-7 targets for 94 yards and 2 touchdowns, proving he can be a difference-maker when given opportunities. With rookie Matthew Golden sidelined by a shoulder injury and Jayden Reed still working toward a return, Wicks has filled that role in the Packers’ passing attack. In Week 14, he faces Chicago, a defense that ranks 4th worst in fantasy points allowed to opposing wide receivers. The matchup sets up perfectly for Wicks to continue producing, making him a strong waiver pickup and a viable flex option for managers in need of playoff firepower.
