Amari Cooper or DeVonta Smith or Adam Thielen: Who should I start for Week 14 Fantasy Football?

Fantasy football managers face a tricky decision between Amari Cooper, DeVonta Smith and Adam Thielen. Cooper, cast out by the Browns, Smith, a second-string receiver returning from injury and Thielen, the NFL's oldest wideout, present their own risks. When presented this way, it could be a tough sell to go with any of the receivers.

Of course, all three players have had their bright moments in their careers as well, furthering complicating matters. With the last bye week of the season, many fantasy football leagues will be digging deep into what could be the difference between a playoff berth and the end of their season. Here's a look at all three players as well as a recommendation.

Is Amari Cooper a good pick in Week 14?

Amari Cooper hasn't had his breakout game with the Bills yet. According to Sportskeeda's Start/Sit Optimizer, the wait will continue. That said, he won't be a complete no-show, either.

Cooper is in line for 12.5 points against the Los Angeles Rams. This makes him a solid flex option or if you're in a tight spot, a low-end WR2.

Is DeVonta Smith a good pick in Week 14?

The Eagles receiver is coming off an injury and, as such, could be a surprise for the Panthers secondary, who could be focusing on AJ Brown and Saquon Barkley. However, he will only be a limited surprise, according to Sportskeeda's Start/Sit Optimizer.

Smith is in line for 13.8 points against the Panthers, making him a solid starting option. Of course, don't expect him to win the game on his own or have a Jerry Jeudy-like explosion, but he should produce.

Is Adam Thielen a good pick in Week 14?

The Carolina Panthers wide receiver has emerged from the clinic hoping to put one on in Week 14. He will be tasked with going against Quinyon Mitchell, one of the up-and-coming cornerbacks in the game.

As such, Thielen is expected to have his hands full as the oldest wide receiver in the NFL. However, he will get his moment, earning 12.2 points. This makes him a flex option this week.

Whom should I start between Amari Cooper, DeVonta Smith and Adam Thielen in Week 14?

E DeVonta Smith gets the nod for Week 14

Out of all three receivers, DeVonta Smith gets the nod against the Carolina Panthers. One can only hope that the Panthers can keep in range of the Eagles enough to keep Jalen Hurts throwing.

Otherwise, Smith could be a second-half no-show due to the strategy employed in the second half. Either way, expect at least a baseline of production from Smith, getting him into the double digits with 13.8 points.
