This is it. The final push for fantasy football playoffs. And, naturally, there would be SIX teams on bye week this week. They’ve saved our toughest battle for the final stretch. 

Our weekly Fantasy Football Streamers article has never been so important. So, let’s get out there, piece together the best lineup we can, and make the playoff tournament - where anything can happen!

 

 

 

Fantasy Football Streamers For 2024 NFL Week 14

This article works in conjunction with our Waiver Wire Adds and Stashes articles.

The Week 14 waiver wire article includes the best players to pick up in general - they have both short-term and long-term upside. But they might not be available, or you might get outbid. In our Week 14 waiver wire stashes article, we look at longer term options. But those aren’t guys you can necessarily start this week.

The Week 14 fantasy football streamers article is this one - guys that you can reasonably acquire off the wire AND potentially start this week.

We know that folks play in varying league depths so we’ll include any players that MIGHT be available (especially for really good matchups). And we’ll throw some honorable mentions in there for the really deep leagues. So, let’s dig into the Week 14 Fantasy Football Streamers!

Fantasy Football QB Streamers

Will Levis - Tennessee Titans, Yahoo: 12% | ESPN: 5% | Sleeper: 17%

It’s finally here. We’ve been writing in the main article for a couple weeks now about his schedule down the stretch. Now it’s time for Will Levis to shine. He gets the Jaguars this week then the Bengals, Colts, and Jaguars again. It’s on. 

Russell Wilson - Pittsburgh Steelers, Yahoo: 35% | ESPN: 43% | Sleeper: 41%

Jameis Winston and Russell Wilson both had down games last time these two matched up. But it was also in a snow game. The Browns defense has struggled to stop anyone as of late whereas the Steelers have been tough so I actually prefer to go with Russ over Winston this week, believe it or not. Both are decent options though.

Derek Carr - New Orleans Saints, Yahoo: 15% | ESPN: 16% | Sleeper: 19%

Derek Carr and the Saints have had their share of problems this year. But the biggest one that was capping the upside for Carr has been Taysom Hill. You can’t have your fantasy football quarterback leaving the game for goal line opportunities. With no Hill and a matchup against the New York Giants, Carr actually does have some upside for once. 

 

 

 

Fantasy Football RB Streamers

Tank Bigsby - Jacksonville Jaguars, Yahoo: 44% | ESPN: 32% | Sleeper: 48%

Obviously Isaac Guerendo is the top add and play across the board. In shallower leagues, Tank Bigsby might be there. He’s carved himself out a decent role and he’s honestly looked better than Travie Etienne this year. It’s a shame that Trevor Lawrence is likely set to miss time. He’ll face Tennessee this week.

Tyjae Spears - Tennesse Titans Yahoo: 39% | ESPN: 41% | Sleeper: 42%

Also hitting the wire in a couple league out there was Tyjae Spears. He was eased back in this week but we expect his usage to trend back upwards. In most games he was getting a few carries and a few targets as he was spelling Tony Pollard and this is a great matchup with the Jaguars. 

Sincere McCormick - Las Vegas Raiders, Yahoo: 0% | ESPN: 0% | Sleeper: 0%

In deep leagues there are not a lot of great option available out there. One guy that is almost certainly available is Sincere McCormick. 

He’s clearly earned the number two chair over Dylan Laube and, honestly, he’s been a better rusher than Ameer Abdullah. If Alexander Mattison can’t go again, McCormick could get a good chunk of carries again with Abdullah operating on pass downs. 

 

 

 

Fantasy Football WR Streamers

Nick Westbrook-Ikhine-Ikhine - Tennessee Titans, Yahoo: 18%| ESPN: 20% | Sleeper: 27%

Nick Westbrook-Ikhine-Ikhine has been getting a full snap share for weeks. And he’s also been getting a decent number of targets as of late. But that’s kind of burying the lede on him scoring 8 touchdowns in 8 games. He gets a great matchup again this week with the Jaguars so what more can you ask for out of a streamer?

Marquez Valdes-Scantling - New Orleans Saints, Yahoo: 31% | ESPN: 23% | Sleeper: 41%

We mentioned with Derek Carr that no more Taysom Hill means more throwing. And more touches for everyone else. MVS vs. the Giants now because a pretty rock solid streaming option for those in need. 

Sterling Shepard - Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Yahoo: 5% | ESPN: 4% | Sleeper: 13%

We actually prefer the honorable mentions to Shepard. But we like to do a write-up on a lesser-rostered player for the deeper leagues out there. With all the injuries, Sterling Shepard has been forced into action out of the slot for the Buccaneers. 

And he’s actually gotten 7 targets in each of the last two games. Shepard and Baker Mayfield actually have a connection that goes all the way back to their time together in college at Oklahoma and it was part of the reason Shepard chose to sign in Tampa Bay. 

 

 

 

Fantasy Football TE Streamers

Chig Okonkwo - Tennessee Titans, Yahoo: 5% | ESPN: 2% | Sleeper: 6%

Chig Okonkwo might not be super consistent but no tight end in this range is going to be. What he does offer is big play potential as we discussed in the main waiver article. 

He’s one of the few tight ends with the athleticism to rip off chunk plays. Throw in a matchup against the Jaguars, one of the worst teams vs. the tight end, and Chig all of a sudden is a decent option this week. 

Grant Calcatera - Philadelphia Eagles, Yahoo: 0% | ESPN: 0% | Sleeper: 0%

If Dallas Goedert is out, Calcatera is on the radar. Bonus points if WR DeVonta Smith is out once again. Calcatera isn’t as talented as Dallas Goedert but they put him in the role when Goedert is out and he was able to garner five targets in a game. He also gets the Panthers which is arguably the best tight end matchup out there. 

 

 

 

Fantasy Football K Streamers

Spencer Shrader/Matthew Wright - Kansas City Chiefs, Yahoo: 12% | ESPN: 19% | Sleeper: 22%

I really don’t care as much about who it is - I care that they are the kicker for the Kansas City Chiefs. Most kickers for the top teams are rostered at this stage but the unique circumstances here have given you the opportunity to stream one of these guys. 

We might not know until later in the week, unfortunately, but you may be able to put Shraders in an IR spot and hold onto Wright. 

Brandon McManus - Green Bay Packers, Yahoo: 13% | ESPN: 0% | Sleeper: 2%

There is concern that maybe the Detroit Lions are just too good and the Packers won’t be able to hang. But the Packers offense is at least good enough to get the ball into field goal range and it’s not a foregone conclusion that the Lions win this one. McManus has been reliable since joining the Pack so he’s worth a look. 

 

 

 

Fantasy Football DST Streamers

Tennessee Titans DST, Yahoo: 7% | ESPN: 10% | Sleeper: 6%

The Jaguars have already been bad and now they will likely have Mac Jones instead of Trevor Lawrence. Meanwhile, the Titans defense has at least been decent. Shame they won’t have L’Jarius Snead but they are still a decent stream. 

Arizona Cardinals DST, Yahoo: 11% | ESPN: 8% | Sleeper: 5%

The Cardinals defense has really come around over their last few games. They are finally getting pressure on these teams which is more of what we expected from Jonathan Gannon. And last time they played this same Seattle Seahawks team they held them to only 16 points. We don’t necessarily expect that, but they can still hopefully get after the quarterback. 

  • Honorable Mentions: CIN vs. DAL, JAX vs. TEN, NYG vs. NO

Make Use Of These Week 14 Fantasy Football Streamers & Good Luck!

In a perfect scenario, your starting team is packed with all-star talent. Your bench would ideally feature a solid mix of high-potential players from our Waiver Wire Article or some deeper stash options. But let’s be real, fantasy football isn’t always perfect. 

Sometimes, you just have to grit your teeth and play the guy who gives you the most reliable performance, even if he’s not the most exciting choice. That’s where these fantasy football streamers come into play. 

Sure, the breakout players later in the season might be the ones that clinch the championship, but you’ve got to make it to the playoffs first to have a shot at winning it all.
