Kevin Szafraniec highlights the best players available on waivers in 50% or more of ESPN and Yahoo leagues heading into Week 14.
The Texans’ usage of their two rookie wide receivers was maddening to start the year. While Jaylin Noel is still struggling to find the field despite flashing when given opportunities, at least we have seen Jayden Higgins finally assert himself as the team’s unquestioned WR2 recently. While it would have been nice to see him running ahead of Xavier Hutchinson and Christian Kirk all season, at least we can look forward to Higgins making some waves in the fantasy playoffs. With four teams on bye and playoff hopes hanging in the balance, this could be the week that Higgins comes off the waiver wire and sparks a surge that carries fantasy managers down the home stretch in 2025.
Byes: Carolina, New England, New York Giants, San Francisco
Players featured in this article who are on bye this week are denoted with an asterisk (*).
Before we dive into the players, just a few reminders about how the article is set up:
- To be included as a potential add, a player must be rostered in at most 50% of ESPN or Yahoo leagues
- To be included as a potential drop, a player must be rostered in more than 50% of ESPN or Yahoo leagues
- FAAB recommendations will be given but also serve as tiers for leagues without FAAB budgets. The rationale behind FAAB recommendations is: If I had $1,000 in FAAB, what is the absolute most I’d be willing to spend on this player?
- All positional rankings and statistics are taken from RotoViz’s Monday Review tool.
