Mike Evans or DK Metcalf Week 14 Start 'Em, Sit 'Em: Fantasy football projections for WRs

Mike Evans and DK Metcalf have been two of the most reliable fantasy football wide receivers during their NFL careers. They have both finished among the top 10 weekly WRs multiple times this season and will be playing in favorable situations in Week 14. Here's a look at which of the two veterans is the better pick for lineups this week.

Is Mike Evans a good fantasy pick in Week 14?

Mike Evans has finished as the weekly WR10 or better in fantasy football in four of his nine games for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers this year. He missed three games with an injury, but since his return two weeks ago, he has been back to being an elite WR option with 13 receptions on 18 targets for 186 yards and a touchdown.

Evans will look to keep his momentum rolling during Sunday's matchup against a shaky Las Vegas Raiders defense. He recorded a season-best WR4 finish last week and is expected to be busy again with Chris Godwin set to miss the rest of the season with an ankle injury.

Is DK Metcalf a good fantasy pick in Week 14?

DK Metcalf has struggled for the Seattle Seahawks in recent weeks, but he has still finished as the WR9 or better three times in 10 games in the 2024 fantasy football season. While he has finished outside of the top 30 in each of his past three games since returning from an injury, his volume suggests that better performances could be on the way.

Metcalf has 15 receptions on 23 targets in his past three games, but his failure to find the endzone during that stretch mostly explains why his weekly finishes have been unimpressive. He will look to change that in Week 14 when he plays against the Arizona Cardinals in a divisional clash.

Mike Evans or DK Metcalf: Who should I start in Week 14 fantasy football?

Who Should I Start (Sportskeeda)

Mike Evans is the recommended wide receiver to use in Week 14 fantasy football lineups over DK Metcalf. His locked-in role as the Buccaneers' clear WR1 contributes to him having more upside as Jaxon Smith-Njigba has been receiving a large workload for the Seahawks recently.

Sportskeeda's Who Should I Start tool predicts that Evans will score nearly two additional fantasy points than Metcalf. While their projections for receptions and yardage are nearly identical, his higher likelihood of scoring a TD makes him the preferred pick.
