-Week 14 Waiver Wire Picks-

It's that time for many in Fantasy where you need that extra boost to get you into the playoffs. This week could be the difference between bragging rights and getting ragged on for the next year. Below Ive laid out some potential options to add if you are in need.

last Weeks picks: QB - QB selections were mixed. White was QB 13, and Lawrence was QB 17. Watson was a rusty QB 30. Jordan Love watched Rodgers play. I don’t think that will be the case when they get eliminated from playoffs. RB - Knight was RB 12. The big payoff for late-season gamblers. Snell and Warren both got upstaged by a recovered Harris. Hasty was hurt and didn’t play. WR - Man, these were bad. Zay Jones was a zero. My other two guys weren’t even top 50 at their position. TE - Jelani Woods was still hurt and ended up TE 25. Keep an eye on him in the playoffs, though. This is it. For some of you, win, and you are in. For some of you, it’s already over. Next week we will talk a little about Keeper and Dynasty. QB:

  1. Brock Purdy - If you have one of the few bye-week QBs, or Garapolo or Jackson, then Purdy is probably your best bet.
  2. Tyler Huntley - Jackson won’t see the field this week and could be out for several. If you are without a QB, Huntley is a good desperation play.
  3. Baker Mayfield - Total Hail Mary here. They face the resurgent Raiders on Thursday, so this is a rough play, but if you are desperate, he is probably available.

RB:

  1. James Cook - After fumbling in the first game of the year, the Bills seem to realize he is the best option with no offense to Singletary. This is a big risk-reward play, but it’s time for playoffs. If he is still there, he might be the guy to help bring home the trophy!
  2. Cam Akers - I have to temper expectations, the Rams are bad, and they will probably have Baker at QB this week. Cam might not even be available in your league, but he is worth a shot.
  3. Raheem Mostert - Miami keeps flopping back and forth between him and Wilson, but it feels like he has the upper hand.

WR:

  1. DJ Chark - Chark seems to be a favorite of Goff, and the Lions are playing well. Worth a grab if you can get him.
  2. Michael Gallup - Coming off two TDs, and it looks like the Boys are gonna pass on OBJ. Give him a shot this week if you can get him.
  3. Tyler Boyd - The Bengals are looking strong with Burrow, and Boyd could be a good flyer in a pinch.

TE:

  1. Greg Duclich - Not a lot of good options this week, but if you are desperate, Dulcich could have some upside.
