Fantasy Waiver Wire Week 14 Antonio Gibsons injury opens doo

Another Monday Terry Steinbach Jersey doubleheader brought us several more players who figure to beamong the, including TEsJordan ReedandLogan Thomas, WRGabriel Davis, and RBs J.D. McKi sicandPeyton Barber, the latter two getting more opportunities because of Antonio Gibson's toe injury. Not all will be must-have claims, but with the fantasy playoffs starting this week, they could at least be highly sought-afterfree agent pickups once waivers clear around 4-5 a.m. ET on Thursday morning in Yahoo and ESPN leagues.

Ourfull free agent listfeatures more potential late-season breakouts at RB (Cam Akers,Ty Johnson), WR (T.Y. Hilton,Keke Coutee, Tim Patrick,Rashard Higgins), TE (Cole Kmet), and even QB (Jalen Hurts). We also have a bunch of Week 14 Liam Hendriks Jersey streamingrecommendations at QB, TE, and D/ST, which can be found at theend of this list.

WEEK 14 FANTASY:| |

With the playoffs here, there will be fewer teams making pickups, but the competition for the top guys will be even more fierce. That might mean using a high claim on a borderline WR3 or TE1, which is something you probably wouldn't have done in Week 7, but when it's win-or-go-home time, you can't hold anything back. Akers figures to have the most value, while Johnson and both of Washington's backs could be key contributors if Frank Gore (concu sion) and Gibson (toe) remain out, but if you don't Fernando Rodney Jersey need an RB and your opponent doesn't need one either, then you can let them pa s through waivers and focus on other positions.

If you have absolutely no needs for this weekorWeek 15, then hold back and save your claim, as there will inevitably be more injuries and late-season surprises next week.

Top fantasy football waiver wire pickups for Week 14

Unle s otherwise noted, only players owned in fewer than 50 percent of Yahoo leagues Jose Canseco Jersey considered.

J.D. McKi sic, RB, Washington.McKi sic has been getting a lot of targets most of the year, but with Antonio Gibson (toe) potentially set to mi s time, McKi sic should see even more action in the pa sing game, as well as additional rushing opportunities. He caught all 10 of his targets for 70 Mark McGwire Jersey yards against the Steelers on Monday, and with matchups against the 49ers, Seahawks, and Panthers in the next three weeks, he should be able to rack up more catches and yards, making him a must-start in PPR leagues.

Peyton Barber, RB, Washington. Barber operated as Washington's primary ball-carrier (14 carries) after Antonio Gibson (toe) exited on Monday night, and while that didn't result in many yards (23), it didn't yield a touchdown. Barber has never been an efficient runner, averaging 3.1 yards per carry with Tampa last year and 2.7 with Washington this year, but volume matters. If Gibson mi ses time, Barber will have some flex value in standard leagues against the 49ers, Seahawks, and Panthers over the next three weeks.

WEEK 14 PPR RANKINGS: | | | | |

Logan Thomas, TE, Washington.Thomas continued his breakout season with the best game of his career on Monday, catching Sonny Gray Jersey all nine targets for 98 yards and a TD. Thomas has had at least four targets in every game this year, and even though he hasn't had many yards, he's capable of games like this given his steady usage. At the TE position, that Kendrys Morales Jersey 's enough to make him a borderline TE1 in all formats, especially PPR.

WEEK 14 FANTASY:|

Gabriel Davis, WR, Bills.Davis had another good game on Monday filling in for John Brown (ankle), catching three-of-four targets for 68 yards and a touchdown. He's now scored in his three of his past four games and will continue to have WR3 value in standard leagues for as long as Brown is out.

Jordan Reed, TE, 49ers.Yes, it was in garbage time, but Reed scored on Monday night, capping off a three Chris Bassitt Jersey -catch, 32-yard night. Reed's four targets gave him 16 over the past three games, and that's enough to make him a borderline TE1, especially with favorable matchups against Washington and Dallas coming up.
