Week 14 of the 2024 fantasy football season is loaded with plenty of valuable wide receiver options. It will be crucial to make sure the right ones are plugged in, especially with the fantasy playoffs right around the corner. Here are some of the best targets and fades from the position this week.

Week 14 Fantasy Football WRs Start 'Em picks

Calvin Ridley ranks as the overall WR27 in fantasy football this season. He has been inconsistent with his weekly output but has demonstrated his massive upside with three finishes of WR7 or better. He faces his former team, the Jacksonville Jaguars, who has one of the worst defenses in the NFL.

Ridley is joined by Drake London, who has seen increased volume with the Atlanta Falcons over the past few weeks. He has totaled 20 receptions on 37 targets across his past three games and has improved his overall ranking to the WR6 this season.

He has a strong chance of turning in another big game when he faces off against the Minnesota Vikings' struggling pass defense this week.

Week 14 Fantasy Football WRs Sit 'Em picks

Deebo Samuel is having an unusually dismal 2024 fantasy football season for the San Francisco 49ers. In each of his previous two full seasons, he has placed among the top 12 overall wide receivers, but he currently ranks as the WR49. He has also finished outside of the top 60 in his last three games, making him a risk against the Chicago Bears' strong passing defense.

Another wide receiver to avoid this week is Adam Thielen. In just his second game since returning from an injury, he ranked as the weekly WR6. That was a much more favorable matchup than this week, which will come against the Philadelphia Eagles, one of the best defenses in the entire NFL this year.
