Week 14 Wide Receiver Rankings Analysis

A new feature has been added to our weekly fantasy football rankings article. Below, you will find our fantasy football outlooks for key options in Week 14, which gives readers a matchup preview of that player and advice on whether to start or avoid for the upcoming week. We provide outlooks for all 32 NFL teams, which can be found on our player profile pages and our fantasy football news desk.

Romeo Doubs, WR, Green Bay Packers
Week 14 Overall PPR Rankings: 79
Week 14 Wide Receiver PPR Rankings: 34

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Romeo Doubs will take on the Giants in New York on Monday night. The second-year receiver has had five or fewer receptions in each of the last five games and has only cleared 40 receiving yards twice. However, Doubs could be in for a larger target share this week against the Giants. Christian Watson (hamstring), who has been on a tear lately, seems likely to miss this game, while Jayden Reed (chest) still deals with his lingering injury.

The Packers are already without tight end Luke Musgrave (abdomen), so Doubs could be the go-to target for quarterback Jordan Love. New York allows the fifth-most fantasy points per game to wide receivers, making this a matchup to exploit for the 23-year-old. Doubs has been boom or bust for most of the season, but he will be a solid flex option for fantasy managers in Week 14.

Josh Downs, WR, Indianapolis Colts
Week 14 Overall PPR Rankings: 71
Week 14 Wide Receiver PPR Rankings: 36

Indianapolis Colts rookie wide receiver Josh Downs has gone a little bit cold during his impressive first season. In the team's Week 13 win, he reeled in three of his five targets for just 14 total yards. He finds himself able to get back on track in Week 14 when the Colts square off against the Cincinnati Bengals.

The Bengals have allowed the sixth-most passing yards in the league this season, and Downs has routinely been the second option in terms of targets for Indy behind wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. Fantasy managers can look to start Downs as a WR3/4 option as the former Tar Heel looks to get back on track.

Justin Jefferson, WR, Minnesota Vikings
Week 14 Overall PPR Rankings: 8
Week 14 Wide Receiver PPR Rankings: 6

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson (hamstring) has been removed from the final Week 14 injury report and will make his return on Sunday against the Las Vegas Raiders. The Vikings officially activated Jefferson from Injured Reserve last week. Sunday's game will be the 24-year-old All-Pro's first action since injuring his hamstring in Week 5. Despite the long layoff, fantasy managers need to get him back into their starting lineups this weekend as Minnesota's unquestioned No. 1 receiver when healthy.

There is an inherent risk in his first game back while working with quarterback Joshua Dobbs for the first time, but Jefferson is just too big of a game-changer to the bench when he's active. Jefferson's return will inevitably mean fewer looks for rookie first-rounder Jordan Addison and tight end T.J. Hockenson.

Garrett Wilson, WR, New York Jets
Week 14 Overall PPR Rankings: 59
Week 14 Wide Receiver PPR Rankings: 29

New York Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson was quiet last week while catching passes from Tim Boyle and Trevor Siemian but will look to return to form in Week 14 against the Houston Texans. Quarterback Zach Wilson will be back under center for the Jets, which is great news for the second-year wideout. In eight full games with Zach Wilson this season,

Wilson posted over 11 targets and 11 fantasy points per contest. The 23-year-old will have a great opportunity on Sunday as the Texans have surrendered the ninth-most fantasy points per game to receivers over the past four weeks. Fantasy managers shouldn't necessarily be excited about New York's offense this week, but Wilson can make his way back into starting lineups as a high-end WR3 or flex option.

Nico Collins, WR, Houston Texans
Week 14 Overall PPR Rankings: 42
Week 14 Wide Receiver PPR Rankings: 21

Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins will look to build off his career day in Week 14 against the New York Jets. Last week, Collins caught a career-high nine passes for 191 yards and one touchdown. With Tank Dell (leg) out for the season, the third-year wideout could see more opportunities in the passing game. But he might have difficulty replicating last week's success against this Jets' secondary.

New York allows the fewest fantasy points per game to wideouts this season at just 18 half-PPR points. With rain and heavy winds expected in this matchup, Collins is likely more of a low-end WR2 option this weekend.
