Get ahead of your next fantasy football matchup with these Week 14 waiver wire pickups. Following a brutal Week 13 with key players sidelined due to injury, it’s time to make shrewd roster moves to secure your spot in the playoffs. Here are four players to consider claiming on waivers ahead of Week 14.
Ezekiel Elliott, RB, New England Patriots (40% rostered)
Rhamondre Stevenson left the Patriots’ Week 13 game with an ankle injury, allowing Ezekiel Elliott to step up and deliver solid performance. Despite the Patriots offense struggling, Elliott managed 11.20 fantasy points. If Stevenson is out, Elliott will take over the backfield work and is a worthy running back option for your roster.
Tyjae Spears, RB, Tennessee Titans (35% rostered)
If Derrick Henry is sidelined, Tyjae Spears will lead the Titans’ backfield. He showcased big-play ability in Week 13, making him a valuable addition to your fantasy roster. Don’t miss out on Spears, regardless of Henry’s status.
Roschon Johnson, RB, Chicago Bears (21% rostered)
Chicago’s rookie running back has potential, and he could see an increased role following the team’s bye week. Johnson’s performance against the Vikings signals a possible uptick in production, making him a valuable pickup for your roster.
Jalin Hyatt, WR, New York Giants (4% rostered)
Rookie quarterback Tommy DeVito has injected new life into the Giants’ offense, and Jalin Hyatt brings big-play ability to the team. Keep an eye on Hyatt as a potential fantasy pickup to boost your receiving corps.
