It's the final week of the fantasy football regular season in most leagues, and our Week 14 fantasy WR rankings for standard leagues can help give you the advantage you need to finish with a win. With only two teams on bye and the position in relatively good health (except for Tank Dell and Amari Cooper), the wide receiver pool is in an ideal spot for the home stretch.
Of course, start 'em, sit 'em decisions can still be difficult, as matchups and QB injuries change the landscape every week. Fortunately, the long-awaited return of one of the game's biggest stars brightens the outlook of the entire position.
With that in mind, let's get to it and break down our Week 14 WR rankings.
Which WRs are on bye in Week 14?
The last set of bye weeks sees the Commanders and Cardinals idle, meaning Terry McLaurin, Marquise Brown, Jahan Dotson, Curtis Samuel, Rondale Moore, and Greg Dortch are unavailable.
WEEK 14 STANDARD RANKINGS:
QBs | RBs | TEs | D/STs | Kickers
Although this week is a manageable one, two of the league's weaker pass defenses won't be in action, hindering us from streaming and stacking WRs matched up against them.
WEEK 14 PPR RANKINGS:
QBs | RBs | WRs | TEs | D/STs | Kickers
Who are the best fantasy WRs in Week 14?
There's no reason Tyreek Hill (vs. Titans in Week 14) shouldn't own the top spot in Week 14, drawing another juicy matchup against a struggling Titans coverage unit. Washington couldn't contain "Cheetah" this past Sunday, consistently letting Hill get loose in the back end.
CeeDee Lamb (vs. Eagles) could again total double-digit receptions in Sunday's NFC East showdown against Philadelphia, potentially ending the week as the overall WR1. Amon-Ra St. Brown (@ Bears) salvaged an uncharacteristic two-catch day last week with a receiving TD, but we're not worried about his bounce-back capabilities against his division rivals.
A.J. Brown (@ Cowboys) returned to form with a 114-yard effort in Week 14 and should again see a high-volume workload in a potential shootout in Dallas. Weather impacted Keenan Allen (vs. Broncos) in Week 14, but L.A.'s WR1 still saw nine targets. He should go off back home under the roof at SoFi.
Stefon Diggs (@ Chiefs) will likely need to stuff the stat sheet if Buffalo hopes to upset Kansas City, and if Josh Allen is forced to air the football out at a high clip to keep up with the Chiefs, Diggs will produce. Justin Jefferson (@ Raiders) is set to return to game action for the first time since Week 5, and although he'll have to endure some rocky QB play, last season's fantasy WR1 is always a threat to go off.
Mike Evans (@ Falcons) continues to produce, recording 162 receiving yards and a TD in Week 13. The Falcons have been one of the best defenses against WRs on a per-game basis, but Baker Mayfield's go-to target can still put up WR1 numbers in a tough matchup.
Davante Adams' (vs. Vikings) rapport with Aidan O'Connell is getting stronger by the week, which could lead to one of his best fantasy showings of the year versus a subpar Vikings coverage unit. Michael Pittman Jr. (@ Bengals) rounds out our top 10, as Gardner Minshew's safety valve posted his second straight 105-plus yard effort in Sunday's overtime win in Tennessee. Against a Bengals bunch that has struggled to maintain lengthy offensive drives, look for the Colts to dominate the time of possession battle, playing into Pittman Jr.'s hands.
WEEK 14 FANTASY ADVICE:
Sleepers | Busts | Projections | Start-sit
Who are the best fantasy WR sleepers, waiver pickups in Week 14?
Elijah Moore (vs. Jaguars), Noah Brown (@ Jets), Odell Beckham Jr. (vs. Rams), Jonathan Mingo (@ Saints), Alec Pierce (@ Bengals), Jameson Williams (@ Bears), and Jalin Hyatt (vs. Packers) serve as the top WR waiver-wire pickups heading into Week 14.
Moore (vs. Jaguars) stepped up as Cleveland's go-to wideout with Amari Cooper (concussion) banged up, seeing 12 targets from Joe Flacco. Likewise, Brown (@ Jets) is another WR whose Week 14 ranking has spiked due to his team's injury situation, as Tank Dell's (leg) injury likely leads to an increased target share down the stretch.
Beckham Jr. (vs. Rams) is in line for an increased role with Mark Andrews (leg, ankle) done for the regular season. Mingo (@ Saints) is starting to hit his stride as the fantasy season winds down, as the rookie has totaled six-plus targets in his past four games.
Pierce (@ Bengals) showcased his big-play abilities with two 35-plus yard receptions in Week 13, and his field-stretching abilities could come in handy for those opting for a "boom-or-bust" wideout. Williams (@ Bears) hasn't seen much usage, but when his name's called, he produces. Williams reached paydirt with a 19-yard TD run this past week, as it's never a bad thing to buy shares of those in the league's best offenses.
Hyatt (vs. Packers) is another "boom-or-bust" WR better suited for standard formats, as he's starting to become a pivotal part of the Giants' offense toward the back end of the season.

Who are the biggest potential WR busts in Week 14?
Calvin Ridley (@ Browns), Tyler Lockett (@ 49ers), Gabe Davis (@ Chiefs), Diontae Johnson (vs. Patriots), and Drake London (vs. Buccaneers) might be better suited for fantasy benches this week.
Ridley faces a stout Browns coverage unit that entered Week 13 allowing the second-fewest fantasy points per game (FPPG) to WRs, as his Jekyll and Hyde nature could lend itself to a less-than-ideal showing, especially with Trevor Lawrence (ankle) hurt. We have no interest in rolling out Lockett in standard formats, especially against a San Francisco defense that held him to 30 receiving yards back in Week 12.
Although Davis has had two big games against the Chiefs in his career, he's too volatile to trust if you're in a must-win situation. Ditto for Johnson, as the loss of Kenny Pickett (ankle) hinders the Steelers' offensive prospects over the coming weeks. Johnson did catch a garbage-time TD last week, but he's too risky of a start in our minds. At this point, we simply can't trust any Falcons' pass-catchers, and despite a favorable matchup, there are plenty of better options than London.
What are the biggest WR injuries in Week 14?
This past week, Tank Dell (leg), Amari Cooper (concussion), Christian Watson (hamstring), and Marquise Brown (heel) suffered in-game injuries that forced them to exit early. Although Brown gets an extra week to heal up with Arizona on bye, we know Dell's out for the season. It will also be challenging for Cooper to pass concussion protocol in time to suit up against Jacksonville, and the oft-injured Watson also feels like a long shot to play this week.
UPDATE: Christian Kirk suffered a groin injury on Monday night, and he figures to be more doubtful than questionable for this week's game against Cleveland. If he's out, Zay Jones and Tim Jones will see more targets, but with Trevor Lawrence (ankle) also hurt, it's tough to count on either.
UPDATE: Douglas (concussion) has been ruled OUT for Week 14.
As usual, we'll update these standard WR rankings throughout the week, so check back for the latest player movement and analysis.
