Here we go with our Waiver Wire Targets for Week 14 for the 2021 fantasy football season. Find out who you should go after below!
Tyler is out this week, so I will attempt to fill his shoes in helping you decide which players to pick up off of your league’s waiver wire heading into Week 13. Remember, THIS is the time of year where you need to start thinking about playoff value in terms of waiver adds, not just adds for next week’s matchups!
I will be focusing on players at less than a 50% rostered rate in consensus numbers for ESPN AND Yahoo leagues compiled by Fantasy Pros.
Quarterback Streamers
Taysom Hill, New Orleans Saints, Consensus Roster Percentage 35.0%, Week 15 Matchup vs Jets
Taysom Hill has done it ALL in his career. 💪

I’ll spare the gross details about his actual QB performance and remind you that even after his 4 INTs versus Dallas last week he still had over 100 yards rushing on top of his 24.7 fantasy point production. Look, I know it feels gross to use a cheat code that is just a bad REAL QB. However, if you’ve been fine playing Jalen Hurts this season then there is no reason why you shouldn’t start Taysom Hill going forward!
Running Backs
D’onta Foreman, Tennessee Titans, Consensus Roster Percentage 37.6%, Week 14 vs Jaguars
On a team-leading 19 rushing attempts, Foreman was a strip fumble away from kicking down the doors on his 109 rushing yards & 9.2 fantasy point performance for the day. Reports came out late Sunday morning that he was to be given the bulk of the carries against New England and that was in fact what had happened. Luckily for you, despite my concern last week he is still WIDELY available in most fantasy leagues. Snatch him up for the last stretch of the fantasy football season!
Dontrelle Hilliard, Tennessee Titans, Consensus Roster Percentage 38.5%, Week 14 vs. Jaguars
Insert what I just said about D’onta Foreman for Dontrelle Hilliard. Hilliard is coming off of back-to-back weeks putting up double-digit fantasy points versus Houston (14.2) and now New England (16.8). The weapons for the Titans are severely lacking and volume is there for both of these Texans’ running backs.
Wide Receivers
Russell Gage, Atlanta Falcons, Consensus Roster Percentage 30.1%, Week 14 vs Panthers

Coming off of back-to-back weeks of 15 point fantasy point performances, Gage has solidified himself as the TOP receiving option for this Falcons offense. Trust him again his week going against a Panthers team allowing the 3rd most receiving yards to number 1 wide receivers on the season!
Jamison Crowder, New York Jets, Consensus Roster Percentage 23.1%, Week 14 vs Saints

With Corey Davis on IR look for Elijah Moore to be the number one receiving assignment for the Saints this week making trusty reliable receiver Jamison Crowder solid receiving option versus a secondary that allows the 4th most receiving yards to opposing number three receivers. Expect heavy volume to be headed Crowder’s way this week,
Tight Ends
Evan Engram, Jacksonville Jaguars, Consensus Roster Percentage 28.7%, Week 14 vs Chargers
Facing the 6th most generous team in terms of fantasy points allowed, Evan Engram and Giants have a juicy matchup this week. Whichever subpar QB is playing for the Giant this week look for them to target the only real reliable receiving option in terms of health (words I never thought I’d utter about Even Engram) the Giants have,
