These fringe FLEX performs from earlier in the year are now emerging as every-week starters
Extensive receiver has been pretty of a gigantic number for Delusion of gradual, and issues are likely to be no longer going to get any better in Week 14. It feels admire an extremely shallow save at this point, and also you’d actually admire to observe the likes of Terry McLaurin, DK Metcalf, Odell Beckham, Jerry Jeudy and Brandin Cooks initiating to flip issues around and are living as much as their ability. I’ve composed got every of those avid gamers in my prime-30 on the save — and there might well be a exquisite steep fall on the save moral around there — so optimistically we initiating to observe better from them.

Week 14 WR Rankings
- Davante Adams vs. CHI
- Justin Jefferson vs. PIT — Jefferson had a historic rookie season and has followed that up with a 16-sport tempo of 104 catches, 1,613 yards, and 9 touchdowns. Are we particular he mustn’t be the first huge receiver drafted subsequent season?
- Cooper Kupp @ARI
- Tyreek Hill vs. LV — Hill is averaging moral 8.9 yards per take since Week 5, which is one thing I am actually struggling to wrap my head around.
- Stefon Diggs @TB
- CeeDee Lamb @WAS
- Diontae Johnson @MIN — It goes to even be pretty pretty to observe Johnson ranked this high, on the opposite hand it’s far the save belongs at this point. He is averaging nearly 13 targets per sport one day of the final four.
- Chris Godwin vs. BUF
- D.J. Moore vs. ATL — As soon as again, I am asking for Moore to get extra beef up. The glorious recordsdata is, he has 17 targets on 58 total pass attempts in Cam Newton’s two begins, appropriate for a 30% aim portion, moral in line alongside with his season total. He remains a must-initiating Delusion WR, and right here’s hoping he can are living as much as his ability to cease out the season.
- Mike Evans vs. BUF
- Tee Higgins vs. SF — Issues were a puny bit stressful for Higgins for a whereas there, but I’ve exquisite unheard of viewed him as a must-initiating Delusion WR all season, and it’s paid off in a immense capacity of gradual. Will he bear 100-plus yards every week? No, but the hoped-for breakout is occurring, he is the No. 1 option in this passing sport, and he particular appears to be like to be admire he goes to enact the season off great.
- Ja’Marr Shuffle vs. SF — How diversified would the dialogue around Shuffle be moral now if he hadn’t bobbled a would-be prolonged touchdown and turned it into an interception closing week. Drops bear been pretty of a local for Shuffle of gradual, but the larger arena is that he is the particular No. 2 option in the motivate of Tee Higgins, with 77 targets to 89 for Higgins in the 10 games they’ve performed together. That, plus Shuffle’s downfield-oriented function has led to his inconsistency of gradual, but we saw evidently closing week there might well be composed appreciable upside right here. He moral has to get the performs. Wager that he’ll.
- Elijah Moore vs. NO — Moore has a aim portion north of 30% in three straight games and never decrease than 12.7 PPR parts in five of his closing six games. Zach Wilson is composed very unheard of a work in growth, but Moore is overcoming that moral now, and I don’t model why that wouldn’t continue.
- Marquise Brown @CLE — Brown had his fewest targets since Week 6 closing week, on the opposite hand it’s no longer admire Sammy Watkins or Rashod Bateman actually stepped up in a gigantic capacity to restrict him. He had eight catches on 10 targets the closing time he confronted Cleveland and if he will get that form of function again, I am going to wager on him striking up better than 51 yards.
- Amari Cooper @WAS — Coming motivate from his bout with COVID, Cooper performed moral 34% of the snaps in Week 13. He’ll enact better than that this week, and I am hoping for a return to the 85-plus% snap portion he hasn’t considered since Week 8. I am a puny bit afraid about Cooper’s function, but doubtlessly no longer ample to take a seat down him.
- Tyler Lockett @HOU — Lockett has been the extra productive of the Seahawks two prime huge receivers since Russell Wilson’s return from injure, but I actually don’t sigh there might well be much distinction between the two. Consistency is a local for both, but I am keeping both in my lineup inviting forward.
- D.Okay. Metcalf @HOU
- Hunter Renfrow @KC — I have been skeptical of Renfrow, but I actually must give him credit score for the capacity he has stepped up one day of the final two weeks. He is no longer moral getting puny dump off passes now, he has actually had his absolute most practical and fourth-absolute most practical reasonable depths of aim one day of the final two games. With Darren Waller going through a knee injure, Renfrow is doubtlessly a must-initiating Delusion WR at this point.
- Mike Williams vs. NYG — With Keenan Allen in the COVID protocols, his space for Week 14 is extraordinarily unheard of up in the air. Williams has began to flip his season around pretty of gradual, and I might well well query him to be veteran extra admire he became early in the season if Allen is out — motivate when he became being veteran as extra than moral a deep possibility. He has WR1 ability in this effort.
- Terry McLaurin vs. DAL — Scrutinize, I model that McLaurin has been stressful — moral two games with double-digit PPR parts in his past five and most productive three games with extra than 62 yards all season. That is the persona of his space as a downfield-oriented receiver enjoying with a mediocre, inconsistent quarterback. But I might well even must be exquisite stacked at WR to take a seat down someone with McLaurin’s locked-in function and upside.
- Brandon Aiyuk @CIN — Week 13 became a disappointment for Aiyuk with Deebo Samuel out, on the opposite hand it’s no longer admire he performed poorly — 55 yards on six targets is no longer snide the least bit. But he became clearly the No. 2 in the motivate of George Kittle in that matchup and the 49ers most productive threw 30 cases. I might well well query much less of an imbalance between his and Kittle’s targets inviting forward, so I am composed viewing Aiyuk as a WR2.
- DeAndre Hopkins vs. LAR — Hopkins has now scored a touchdown on moral beneath 16% of his targets this season; even in his 13-touchdown 2017, that fee became 7.5%. There might well be regression coming, on the opposite hand it’s price noting that 11 of his 51 targets bear approach in the red zone; in 2017, it became 19 out of 174. The Cardinals are likely to be no longer the utilization of Hopkins unheard of between the 20s, which makes him a decrease-conclude Delusion starter, but he is composed a starter.
- Odell Beckham @ARI — So unheard of for those reviews about Beckham enjoying the next function in Week 13. He actually performed moral 53% of the snaps in the web over the Jaguars and wished a second half touchdown to bail him out. And to bail me out, because I had him as a main-16 WR closing week. In the event you suggested me he became going to play 90% of the snaps this week, he’d doubtlessly be there again this week, but I moral do no longer know what his function will likely be consequently of this ankle injure. I sigh Beckham will likely be very appropriate in this offense if he is wholesome, I moral do no longer know if he is.
- Darnell Mooney @GB — Week 13 became a disappointing for Mooney, but he composed had seven targets and five catches, so I am no longer panicking. As prolonged as Allen Robinson is out, I sigh it’s most fundamental to see Mooney as a initiating-caliber Delusion huge receiver.
- Jerry Jeudy vs. DET — We’re composed looking ahead to the breakout from Jeudy. He is enjoying exquisite unheard of, but six targets per sport moral is no longer going to cleave it. The Broncos bear a bunch of mouths to feed and continuously are no longer a tall passing sport, which makes it arduous for any person to face out.
- Brandin Cooks vs. SEA — Cooks averaged 14.8 PPR parts on 9.9 targets per sport with Davis Mills as a starter, in contrast to 11.7 on 7.5 with Tyrod Taylor. Mills returning because the starter might well well perchance no longer be a snide thing for Cooks.
- Jarvis Landry vs. BAL — Week 12 looked extra admire what I’ve hoped for from Landry since Odell Beckham’s unlock, as he had six catches for 111 yards in opposition to the Ravens. He will get those identical Ravens again this week, and whereas my expectations are likely to be no longer that prime, I am comely initiating him if wished.
- Jamison Crowder vs. NO — With Corey Davis‘ season likely over, Crowder belongs in that fringe WR3 fluctuate in PPR leagues. He is no longer a particular thing, the least bit, but he will get quantity of short, easy throws and customarily is a in point of fact helpful participant, albeit one with a low probability of actually making an influence.
- Shuffle Claypool @MIN — Claypool goes to live arduous to belief, probably, but he is additionally the form of participant it’s most fundamental to doubtlessly moral roll with through the supreme cases and the snide, because his downfield-oriented function affords him immense weekly upside.
- Van Jefferson @ARI — That is four games in a row without a longer decrease than seven targets for Jefferson, including all three since Beckham joined the group of workers. Clearly Beckham’s restricted function closing week raises some questions about whether that is sustainable, but Jefferson clearly has a function in this offense, and given his immense-play abilities, that’s ample to get him a viable starter inviting forward.
- Russell Gage @CAR — Gage has a 24% aim portion one day of the final five games and he has a profession-high take fee of 71.7% up to now this season. He is enjoying better than in the past and getting extra opportunities consequently, and whereas he is no longer a celebrity admire he looked in Week 13, he is doubtlessly a unheard of WR3 at this point.
- Michael Gallup @WAS — With Cooper either restricted or out in the past three games, Gallup topped 50 yards moral once. He is a appropriate receiver, but he is doubtlessly no longer going to observe eight-plus targets with Cooper anticipated to approach motivate to his standard function, which makes Gallup extra of a whisper-or-bust WR3, especially in opposition to an improved Washington protection.
- Kenny Golladay @LAC
- Tyler Boyd vs. SF
- Laviska Shenault @TEN
- Marvin Jones @TEN
- Marquez Valdes-Scantling vs. CHI — Valdes-Scantling has 19 targets one day of the final two games, which is a exquisite peer-opening number for a participant with as unheard of immense-play ability as he has. If he can emerge as a true No. 2 to Davante Adams, Valdes-Scantling might well well even bear a in point of fact nice enact to the season, but he is been too inconsistent one day of his profession to web in moral yet. But as a whisper-or-bust WR3, he is an appealing option.
- Amon-Ra St. Brown @DEN
- Mecole Hardman vs. LV
- Rashod Bateman @CLE
- Cole Beasley @TB — Beasley had 33 targets over a three-sport stretch from Weeks 6 through 9, but a rib injure has restricted his opportunities of gradual, and he has moral 15 one day of the final five. Until that function returns, he just isn’t any longer anything else extra than a WR4 even in PPR.
- Tim Patrick vs. DET
- Okay.J. Osborn vs. PIT — With Adam Thielen compelled out early with an ankle injure, Osborn chanced on the head zone and had four catches for 47 yards on seven targets in Week 13. He is no longer a must-initiating with Thielen out, but Osborn belongs in the WR3 dialogue, no longer decrease than.
- Courtland Sutton vs. DET — Sutton has an 11% aim portion in the games he has performed with Jerry Jeudy. I don’t sigh that’s an especially clever utilization of the Broncos offensive resources, but unless it changes, Sutton is droppable.
- Christian Kirk vs. LAR
- Bryan Edwards @KC
- Emmanuel Sanders @TB
- Josh Palmer vs. NYG
