Fantasy Football Matchup Outlooks
Below are some fantasy football outlooks written by our NFL team here at RotoBaller, bringing you their fantasy football analysis and advice on which players to consider starting in Week 14:
Terry McLaurin, WR, Commanders
Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin has played in only five games this season due to a quad injury, but he had an outstanding game in Week 13 against the Denver Broncos. Even on limited snaps, McLaurin recorded seven receptions for 96 yards and a touchdown on a team-leading 14 targets in Washington's overtime loss.
The Commanders' top wideout last played in Week 8 against the Kansas City Chiefs, where he also played limited snaps but made his presence known with three catches (four targets) for 54 yards and a touchdown. McLaurin has had an unfortunate season plagued by injuries, but he will look to close out the season on a high note. He also could be getting second-year quarterback Jayden Daniels (elbow) back next week against the Minnesota Vikings.
Devaughn Vele, WR, Saints
New Orleans Saints wide receiver Devaughn Vele has been earning more playing time over the past three games, and in the last two specifically, he has been making the most of his opportunities. Over the past two weeks, he has earned 15 targets and hauled in 11 of them for 130 receiving yards and one touchdown. Over the past three games for the Saints, he has played 87 percent or more of the snaps, whereas before Week 10, he hadn't played more than 51 percent. The departure of Rashid Shaheed opened the opportunity for Vele to step up.
He has built a solid relationship with rookie quarterback Tyler Shough, and because of that, he has worked his way onto the radar as a relevant fantasy option moving forward. Chris Olave remains the Saints' clear No. 1 receiver; however, Vele has seen his value rise and is worth a look in deeper formats.
John Metchie III, WR, Jets
New York Jets wide receiver John Metchie III may have been a disappointment for fantasy in Week 13, but he's still trending positively with the team's offensive attack finally gaining some traction in the campaign. The 25-year-old continued his heavy utilization in New York's 27-24 home win over the Atlanta Falcons, nabbing 4-of-8 passes for 19 yards.
It isn't what managers expected, particularly after Metchie III strung together two double-digit fantasy-point outings. Even with the down game, though, the usage was there, and veteran quarterback Tyrod Taylor has been a decent boost for the Jets' offense, making the former Houston Texan a decent prospective waiver claim. Teammate Garrett Wilson (knee) may return in two weeks, but Metchie III looks to be carving out a solid role with his new team. He'll get the Dolphins at home in Week 14.
Jameson Williams, WR, Lions
Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams is expected to operate as the WR1 in Week 14, when the Lions host the Dallas Cowboys. The former first-round pick has been a fantasy rockstar as of late, totaling over 66 yards and a touchdown in five of his last seven games. Last week, Amon-Ra St. Brown suffered an ankle injury that knocked him out of Week 13's loss to the Green Bay Packers.
With St. Brown not practicing ahead of Week 14, Williams is likely to see more targets on Thursday night. Last week, Williams hauled in seven of 10 targets for 144 yards and a touchdown. The matchup is perfect for Williams as well, as the Cowboys have allowed the most fantasy points to wide receivers in 2025. Despite being labeled as a fantasy bust earlier in the season, Williams is a locked-in WR1 in Week 14 if St. Brown is unable to play.
Marvin Harrison Jr., WR, Cardinals
Arizona Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon compared wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr.'s new heel injury to the one that cornerback Max Melton is dealing with, which caused him to miss the Week 13 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, according to Tyler Drake of Arizona Sports. "Those are tricky," Gannon said. The head coach also said that Harrison is "going to see the doc later on here." The 23-year-old returned from a two-game absence following an appendectomy to post six catches for 69 yards on seven targets in Sunday's loss to Tampa, but now he could be looking at more missed time.
Fantasy managers will need to watch the former first-rounder's practice status closely this week to see if he'll be able to play on Sunday against the division-rival Los Angeles Rams. If Harrison misses more time, it will open up Michael Wilson for heavy targets once again, with Greg Dortch also becoming flex-worthy as the WR2.
