Check out some of our top waiver wire targets for the week below. Here’s our fantasy football waiver wire advice for Week 14.

Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Targets

Gardner Minshew (IND): 23% rostered

  • Next Opponents: @CIN, PIT, @ATL
  • True value: $7
  • Desperate need: $12
  • Budget-minded: $3

Analysis: It wasn’t quite Minshew Mania, but he did score 20 fantasy points in Week 14, including a game-winning 4-yard toss to Michael Pittman Jr. in overtime. The streaming options at QB are as bleak in Week 14 as they have been all season, so I’m pretty keen on running it back with Gardner again.

Jameis Winston (NO): 1% rostered

  • Next Opponents: CAR, NYG, @LAR
  • True value: $2
  • Desperate need: $5
  • Budget-minded: $1

Analysis: Derek Carr was playing like hot garbage, with Saints fans raining boos down on him before he was obliterated by a free rusher. Carr entered concussion protocol and also had sore ribs and a creaky throwing shoulder. Enter Winston, who has been a QB1 in fantasy before. I’ve long contended that Winston is a better QB than Carr, so we’ll see what he can do to keep the Saints alive in the playoff race.

Joe Flacco (CLE): 5% rostered

  • Next Opponents: JAX, CHI, @HOU
  • True value: $2
  • Desperate need: $4
  • Budget-minded: $0

Analysis: The former Super Bowl MVP was very good in his Browns debut, especially considering that he joined the team two weeks ago and was facing Aaron Donald and the Rams out of the gate. Cleveland’s next three games are against bottom-10 pass defenses. It isn’t sexy, but streaming Flacco might propel your team into the fantasy playoffs and beyond.

Jake Browning (CIN): 10% rostered

  • Next Opponents: IND, MIN, @PIT
  • True value: $2
  • Desperate need: $4
  • Budget-minded: $0

Analysis: Browning isn’t Joe Burrow, but he is one of the most proficient backup QBs in the league. The schedule is favorable for the Bengals, and they have their full stable of stud WRs back on the field with the return of Tee Higgins. Browning is the most decorated QB in the history of high school football and led the Washington Huskies to the College Football Playoff. He deserves consideration for a spot start in fantasy among the slim pickings available on this week’s wire.
