Congratulations, you've reached the fantasy playoffs. The easy part is over. Once you look at our WR fantasy classification of Week 14, you will look forward to the good morning when you start, sit down and make decisions made for you bye bye and your own sense of who is a broad receiver "essential,quot; is. At this point of the year, you will be guessing every move on the list, and given the clashes (and recent performances) of some of the best fantasy WRs, you will be in third and fourth place until next Sunday.
Of course, injuries are also an important factor at this point in the season, and several nail receptors: Adam Thielen (hamstrings), T.Y. Hilton (calf), JuJu Smith-Schuster (knee), Julio Jones (shoulder) and Golden Tate (concussion), didn't even get dressed last week. Add tough clashes for stallions Tyreek Hill (@ Patriots), Amari Cooper (against Bears), Allen Robinson (against Cowboys), DeAndre Hopkins (@ Broncos), DJ Chark (against Chargers) and Michael Thomas (against 49ers) in the week 14, and this could be a difficult week for many key recipients.
Fantasy owners can't do much about it, since those players probably won't sit down (and shouldn't). But the limit players, like Marquise Brown (@ Bills), Michael Gallup (@ Bears), Sammy Watkins (@ Patriots), Will Fuller (@ Browns), Dede Westbrook (vs. Chargers), Larry Fitzgerald (vs. Steelers), and more will be tougher calls. Fortunately, most of those players come from bad weeks, so it is easier to sit with them if you have better options.
Filling in the gaps will be WR with favorable confrontations, namely A.J. Brown / Corey Davis (@ Raiders), James Washington (@ Cardinals), Curtis Samuel (@ Falcons), Jamison Crowder / Robby Anderson (vs Dolphins), Deebo Samuel (@ Saints), Sterling Shepard (@ Eagles) and Marvin Jones ( @ Vikings). There are several other deeper sleepers you can try, including Allen Lazard (vs. Redskins), Tim Patrick (@ Texans), Allen Hurns (@ Jets), Zach Pascal / Marcus Johnson (@ Buccaneers), Russell Gage (vs. Panthers), Darius Slayton (@ Eagles) and Nelson Agholor (vs. Giants).
We will know more about availability as the week progresses, and it will be so important to monitor defenses to detect key losses. The weather will also be an important factor at this time of year. Put everything together, and it will not be easy to find three or more WRs for the week, but we will do our best to help you solve it.
Reminder: Check again for classifications updates during the week
