Waiver wire Week 14 priority quarterback adds feat. Caleb Williams and Drake Maye

Week 14 represents the final regular season slate before the start of the fantasy football playoffs in most leagues. Managers will have one last chance to punch their ticket to the postseason and make sure their rosters are optimized. Finding the right waiver wire targets is one of the best ways to do so, including the following quarterback options.

Week 14 Fantasy Football Waiver Wire QBs

#1 - Jameis Winston

Jameis Winston has finished among the top 10 weekly QBs three times in his five starts for the Cleveland Browns this year. This includes a massive QB1 finish last week, demonstrating his elite upside and that he is trending in the right direction. He is a solid QB to add for the fantasy playoffs, despite a difficult Week 14 matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

#2 - Caleb Williams

Caleb Williams has been inconsistent in his rookie season with the Chicago Bears, but he has also flashed his upside in fantasy football. He has finished as the weekly QB6 or better four times this year, including in each of his past two games. After a matchup against the San Francisco 49ers this week, he will face the Minnesota Vikings, Detroit Lions and Seattle Seahawks for an intriguing set of matchups for the fantasy playoffs.

#3 - Russell Wilson

Russell Wilson has made six starts for the Steelers this season and has finished among the top 10 weekly QBs in three of them. This includes a season-best performance last week as he threw for 414 yards and three touchdowns. He gets favorable matchups against three divisional opponents in his final five games, making him a strong addition from the Week 14 waiver wire.

#4 - Drake Maye

Drake Maye has been quietly consistent since taking over as the starting QB for the New England Patriots. He has finished among the top 15 QBs in seven of his eight starts, although only one of them was better than the QB10. This suggests that he has a safe weekly floor with potentially limited upside, making him an ideal QB to stash for the playoffs, especially in multi-QB leagues.

#5 - Anthony Richardson

Anthony Richardson has reestablished himself as one of the highest-upside QBs in fantasy football across the past three weeks for the Indianapolis Colts. He has finished among the top 10 weekly QBs in two of those games and totaled six TDs in them. He has a Week 14 bye and a tough matchup against the Denver Broncos after that, but he is an ideal stash for the playoffs with the Tennessee Titans, New York Giants and Jacksonville Jaguars scheduled to finish out his year.
