Waiver Wire Express - Week 14 Lightning Round Including Adam Thielen, Isaac Guerendo, Nick Westbrook-Ikhine, Tank Bigsby, Parker Washington, Tre Tucker, more

Adam Thielen - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL DFS Picks

The Week 14 waiver wire adds lightning round for 2024 fantasy football. Our free agent list includes Adam Thielen, Isaac Guerendo, Nick Westbrook-Ikhine, Tank Bigsby, Parker Washington, Tre Tucker, & more.

We hope you all had a great holiday week as many of you approach the final week of the fantasy regular season. Some of you must dig deep in a must-win situation with six teams on bye. We must give it our best, and the best starts by reading our fantasy football waiver wire pickups lightning round heading into Week 14 of the 2024 NFL season.

This column gives you a quick reaction to put fantasy-relevant players into your mind for Week 14 after the past week's results and injuries to Christian McCaffrey (knee), Jordan Mason (ankle), Trevor Lawrence (head), Ladd McConkey (knee), Taysom Hill (knee), Dallas Goedert (knee), Rashod Bateman (knee), Demarcus Robinson (hand), Calvin Austin III (head), Noah Brown (rib), Theo Johnson (foot), and more. This column is published early every week and then updated daily. Each day will also yield more in-depth waiver wire analysis for all positions. 

Waiver pickups are listed in priority order (in a vacuum, you must determine your needs and short-term vs. long-term window) and broken down by position. Players must be rostered in roughly less than 60% of Yahoo leagues and will range from shallow options in standard leagues to deep options in PPR formats, with options for longer stashes beyond the final bye and immediate help.

Be sure to check all of our fantasy football rankings for 2025:

ATTENTION: This is the final bye week, with the Baltimore Ravens, Denver Broncos, Houston Texans, Indianapolis Colts, New England Patriots, and Washington Commanders taking the week off.
