You came here for receivers, so let's get you some receivers. Below, you'll find some wide receivers that you should be targeting on the fantasy football waiver wire ahead of Week 14.

Jerick McKinnon Catches Touchdown Against Cincinnati
Kansas City Chiefs running back Jerick McKinnon caught two passes for nine yards and a touchdown in Sunday's loss to the Bengals. On the ground, he had eight carries for 51 yards. It was a good performance from McKinnon, but it was also his best game of the season and comes after a week where […]

Travis Kelce Quiet Against Bengals
Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce caught four passes for 56 yards in Sunday's loss to the Cincinnati Bengals. He was targeted six times, his lowest mark of the season. This was just the third time this year that Kelce finished a game without either a touchdown or 100-plus yards. Still, when his lowest […]

Marquez Valdes-Scantling Leads Team In Yards In Week 13
Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling tied the team lead in targets in Sunday's loss to the Bengals, as quarterback Patrick Mahomes looked his way six times. He only caught two of those passes, but he made both count, as he finished with 71 yards, though MVS also dropped a pass in the end […]

Isiah Pacheco Scores Touchdown Against Bengals
Kansas City Chiefs running back Isiah Pacheco carried the ball 14 times for 66 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's loss to the Cincinnati Bengals. He also caught two passes for 16 yards. This now makes four games in a row with double-digit carries for Pacheco, as well as two weeks in a row with […]

Patrick Mahomes Relatively Quiet Against Bengals
Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes posted one of his worst passing lines of the season in Sunday's loss to the Bengals, completing a season-low 16 passes for 223 yards and a touchdown. The yardage total was also his lowest of the year. Mahomes added nine yards and a touchdown on the ground though, which […]

Nico Collins Catches Late Touchdown Against Browns
Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins was targeted 10 times in Sunday's loss to the Cleveland Browns but managed just three receptions for the day. Luckily for his fantasy managers, one of those was a six-yard touchdown reception in the fourth quarter, which salvaged an otherwise disappointing day for Collins. With Brandin Cooks (calf) sidelined, […]

Dameon Pierce Gets Back On Track
Houston Texans rookie running back Dameon Pierce hit a rough patch over the last two games, finishing with exactly eight rushing yards in both contests. But he was able to find a little more running space against the Browns on Sunday, carrying the ball 18 times for 73 yards while also adding three catches for […]

Kyle Allen Picked Off Twice In Loss To Browns
Houston Texans quarterback Kyle Allen was 20-for-39 for 201 yards in Sunday's loss to the Cleveland Browns. He was picked off twice, including on his first pass attempt of the game, and he managed to salvage his day just a bit with a garbage-time touchdown to Nico Collins. Through two starts, Allen hasn't really shown […]

Travis Kelce An Elite Fantasy Option For Week 13
Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce remains the top tight end in fantasy heading into Sunday's meeting with the Cincinnati Bengals. In half-PPR scoring, Kelce is averaging 18.4 points per game, while the No. 2 player in scoring at tight end is averaging 11.9 points. Kelce's a huge positional advantage and should be played […]

Isiah Pacheco Has RB2 Appeal In Week 13
Kansas City Chiefs running back Isiah Pacheco has locked himself in as the team's No. 1 running back, with the rookie toting the ball 22 times last week against the Rams. That makes three games in a row with double-digit carries, and at least 80 all-purpose yards. It's been difficult to trust any Chiefs running […]

Patrick Mahomes Remains Top Fantasy Play In Week 13
Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes currently leads all NFL quarterbacks in fantasy points per game, and he's thrown for at least 300 yards in six consecutive games. The Chiefs don't really have much of a running game, leading to a heavy reliance on their quarterback, which Mahomes has usually been up to this season, […]

Texans Defense Is Risky Week 13 Play
The Houston Texans defense is in an interesting position heading into Sunday's meeting with the Cleveland Browns. Their opponent will be starting a new quarterback who hasn't played since the 2020 season, but that quarterback is Deshaun Watson, who could make Cleveland's offense elite. If you're desperate at D/ST, the Texans could have some upside […]

Chris Moore Has Deep League Appeal On Sunday
Houston Texans wide receiver Chris Moore should see increased snaps on Sunday against the Cleveland Browns with fellow wideout Brandin Cooks (calf) ruled out. The Texans passing attack is too inconsistent for Moore to be trusted in shallow leagues, but in a 14-team league or a 12-team league with extra flex spots, he's an interesting […]

Dameon Pierce Enters Week 13 On Downward Trajectory
Houston Texans running back Dameon Pierce had been a model of consistency for most of his rookie season, but he's hit a wall over the last two games, finishing with exactly eight rushing yards in both of the last two games. He also had single-digit receiving yards in both games. This week, he races a […]
Justin Carter
Nico Collins Has Upside In Week 13
Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins has fantasy appeal heading into Sunday's meeting with the Cleveland Browns. Brandin Cooks (calf) won't be on the field, which should enable Collins to dominate the target share in an offense that doesn't have many weapons aside from him and the injured Cooks. Collins has played just one game […]

Kyle Allen A Risky Option For Week 13
Houston Texans quarterback Kyle Allen made his first start for the team last week against Miami, throwing a pair of interceptions in the team's loss. He threw for 215 yards, with most of that coming in the second half with the game out of reach. There's not much fantasy upside for Allen heading into Sunday's […]

Brandin Cooks Won't Play Against Browns
Houston Texans wide receiver Brandin Cooks (calf) has been ruled out for Sunday's meeting with the Cleveland Browns. With Cooks out, expect to see quarterback Kyle Allen pepper receiver Nico Collins with targets, while Chris Moore could see an uptick in usage and has appeal in DFS contests. As for Cooks, he's barely been startable […]

Wide Receiver Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 13: Top Free Agent Adds Include Zay Jones, Treylon Burks, Jameson Williams
Did everyone have a good Thanksgiving? Can you believe that a record number of people took the time to watch the Giants and Cowboys play on Thursday—imagine looking back one day and saying that Daniel Jones played QB in the most-watched regular season game ever. Anyway, you came here for receivers, so let's get you […]

JuJu Smith-Schuster Quiet Against Rams
Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster was targeted just three times in Sunday's win over the Rams, catching all three passes for 38 yards. Smith-Schuster—who was returning from a concussion—made the best of his opportunities, but with Patrick Mahomes targeting 10 different players, there just weren't a lot of chances to go around. Smith-Schuster's […]

Travis Kelce Finds End Zone In Week 12
Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce caught four passes for 57 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's win over the Rams. He was targeted a team-high eight times. Kelce has now caught 12 touchdowns this season, but this game also saw him finish with his fewest yards since Week 5. But if 57 yards […]

Isiah Pacheco Dominates Backfield Touches In Week 12
Kansas City Chiefs rookie running back Isiah Pacheco had 22 of the team's 30 carries in Sunday's win over the Los Angeles Rams, finishing with 69 rushing yards and a touchdown. He also had a 17-yard reception. Pacheco has taken clear control of this Kansas City backfield over the last few games, and it's clear […]

Patrick Mahomes Solid Against Rams
Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes didn't have his best showing on Sunday against the Rams, but even Mahomes when he's not at his best is pretty good. He was 27-for-42 for 320 yards in the win, throwing a touchdown on the first drive, but then failing to find the end zone again. He was […]

Nico Collins Targeted Nine Times Against Miami
Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins led the team in targets in Sunday's loss to the Miami Dolphins, as quarterback Kyle Allen looked his direction nine times. Collins ended up catching six of those for 44 yards. It wasn't a great showing, largely because the Texans offense couldn't move the ball in the first half. […]

Brandin Cooks Catches Five Passes Against Miami
Houston Texans wide receiver Brandin Cooks was quiet in the first half but ended up posting a solid stat line in Sunday's loss to Miami, catching all five of his targets for 59 yards. Considering how bad Houston's offense looked early in this one, it's a decent showing for Cooks, who should be viewed as […]
Justin Carter
Jordan Akins Catches Touchdown Against Miami
Houston Texans tight end Jordan Akins caught five passes for a team-high 61 yards, including the only receiving touchdown of the contest for the Texans. Akins has had some solid showings this year, but he's also had some games where he was a complete non-factor, and there's really been no rhyme or reason to which […]

Dameon Pierce Shut Down Again
For the second week in a row, Houston Texans rookie running back Dameon Pierce failed to make much of an impact. He carried the ball just five times, finishing with eight yards. He also added three catches for another eight yards. Dare Ogunbowale ended up with the team's lone rushing touchdown. This is now two […]
Justin Carter
Kyle Allen Picked Off Twice Against Dolphins
Houston Texans quarterback Kyle Allen was 26-for-39 in Sunday's loss to the Dolphins, throwing for 215 yards, one touchdown, and two interceptions. Allen managed a couple of good drives in the second half to boost his overall numbers, but his first start for Houston was largely disappointing, and the 215 yards don't really tell the […]
