Fighting for Waivers
Below are all my favorite week 14 waiver wire options with roster percentages under 68% on Sleeper. Rankings are HPPR with the help of PFF before MNF. Last week of byes: Arizona and Washington.
Remember the times when we had to share a single TV? Back in the days before YouTube TV, some of our most significant childhood disputes revolved around the television remote control. The battles were fierce, with memories of hiding batteries, stashing the remote in secret places, or even sneaking it into my room to ensure control of the channels. These tactics often resulted in disagreements. This usually led to fights, which all were better than the fight we saw Sunday between Dom DiSandro and Dre Greenlaw. Dre sticks his finger in Dom's face, like the remote I used to taunt my sister with when she had watched enough Rolie Polie Olie. As a kid, cartoons every day were the 8th wonder of the world; now that I have kids, the cartoons are garbage, and they don't ever end. Please take me back to the days of one remote to rule them all and Spongebob.

Quarterbacks
Jordan Love (63%): looked excellent in the Sunday night upset vs. the Chiefs. Love has thrown 3 TDs in back-to-back games. He has an excellent playoff matchup and plays the Giants this week, Tampa Bay, and Carolina. He could be a late-season league winner.
Geno Smith (60%) lit Dallas like a Christmas tree. If he can continue to force-feed DK, they can score on anyone. Travels to San Francisco this week but plays Philly in week 15.
Russell Wilson (67%) rushing ability has given Russ life in the second half of the season. He has back-to-back games with running TDs.
Hail Marys
Jake Browning
Gardner Minshew
Running backs
Keaton Mitchell (54%) Led the Ravens in rushing yards and had one more carry than Gus Edwards before the bye. I know Gus Edwards is the big play back, but I think Keaton pulls away after the bye week. He could be the spark your fantasy team needs.
Ezekiel Elliott (46%) Rhamondre Stevonsen injured his ankle and could miss multiple weeks. The volume will be there for Zeke, he had a decent game vs. the Chargers despite his team getting shut out. Tough matchup this week on Thursday night football vs. Pittsburgh
Tyjae Spears (45%). If Henry misses any time this week with a concussion, Spears might be a decent fill-in vs. the Dolphins. He also had 6 targets through the air.
Wide Receiver
Noah Brown (49%) did not catch a pass this week, but the targets must go somewhere with Tank Dell out for the season. Brown has had some blow-up games this season. Tough matchup this week vs. the Jets.
Jayden Reed (63%) Christian Watson had a noncontact hamstring injury during Sunday night's game. Reed was inefficient vs. the Chiefs, but with Watson out of the mix, he could have a big game this week vs. the Giants.
Romeo Doubs(60%) read the line above without Watson looking for Doubs and Reed to pick up the slack. Jordan Love is on fire; I am willing to play all his wide receivers.
Tight Ends
Taysom Hill (65%) had 13 carries for 59 yards and a touchdown. The Saints offense is depleted. Look for Taysom Hill's role to continue.
Isaiah Likely (43%) Led the team in receiving yards last time we saw Baltimore. I expect Lamar to continue to lean on his tight end.
Tucker Kraft (10%) Musgrave is on IR; Kraft is playing all the TE snaps. Kraft had 6 targets vs. the Chiefs.
