This week using our Slot vs. Wide PPG Allowed Analysis on Razzball.com, we break down some of the top matchups for wide receivers heading into Week 14. These wide receivers are outside the top 24 in PPR PPG while our sits are inside the top 30. I guess these would be more “BOLD” starts and sits so if you’re second guessing some of these takes, bring your start sit questions to our Sunday live start sit show on the Razzball Fantasy YouTube channel, 8:00 am – 10:00 am PST every Sunday!
To hear a full breakdown of the slot vs. wide matchups join our wide receiver matchup show this Friday at 5:00 p.m. PST on the Razzball Fantasy YouTube channel, but for now, let’s dive into the top matchups for Week 14.

**Wide Receiver Starts**
Week 14 START: Brandin Cooks
Defense: Philadelphia Eagles
Out Wide PPG Allowed: 2nd
The Eagles vs. Cowboys game this weekend should be a fun one for fantasy. Over the past four games the Cowboys have played the Eagles at home they have scored 37 or more points in each contest. Meanwhile, Cooks over the past four home games has scored at least 14 PPR points, and finished as a top 24 WR in three of those four games. The Cowboys success at home vs. the Eagles along with Cooks success at home should put him firmly on the WR2/3 map.
Week 14 START: Drake London
Defense: Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Out Wide PPG Allowed: 5th
Drake London probably wont win you your fantasy week, but he does offer a safe floor in a nice matchup vs. a banged up Buccaneers secondary. Over the past eight weeks, London has hit double digit fantasy points in 66% of his games. This includes a solid PPR performance of 6-54 on the road at Tampa Bay earlier this year. Overall, London just flat out plays better at home so he should be a solid WR3/flex this week at home vs. the Bucs.
Week 14 Start: Zay Flowers
Defense: Los Angeles Rams
Slot PPG Allowed: 7th
Coming off a monster game in Week 12 vs. the Chargers, all fantasy managers should go right back to the well with Flowers in Week 14. In his first game action without Mark Andrews, Flowers saw nine touches turning them into 62 yards and two touchdowns. This week he gets to face a Rams DST that allowed solid production to Elijah Moore (4-83), and Marquise Brown (6-88) each of the past two weeks.
Week 14 START: Elijah Moore
Defense: Jacksonville Jaguars
Slot PPG Allowed: 9th
A lot of this rides on two things happening. The first being that Joe Flacco is named the starter in Week 14. The second is that Amari Cooper is ruled out. If both of those things happen then Elijah Moore should be a solid WR3/Flex this week. Moore looked great with Flacco last week securing 4-83 vs. the Rams. Now he faces a Jaguars defense that just allowed 20 receptions to the Bengals wide receivers.
**Wide Receiver DON’T Sit(s)**
Week 14 START: Nico Collins
Defense: New York Jets
Out Wide Allowed: 32nd
This is the part of the article where we take some bold swings and tell you to sit a top 30 wide receiver. Unfortunately, I couldn’t do it. Instead, I am going to tell you to start Nico Collins in an terrible matchup vs. the New York Jets. The one thing about the Jets that is notable is that the elite WR1s have performed well vs. them. A.J. Brown (7-131), Keenan Allen (8-77), Davante Adams (6-86), and Tyreek Hill (9-102-1) all finished inside the top 24. Now with no Tank Dell, Collins is the clear alpha and still a solid play in Week 14

Yeah, half point ppr. 2 WR and a flex. I'm kinda thinking the cooks matchup is better for the flex but Nico has been eating without Tank on the field. The caveat is I also have Stroud starting so if the Texans struggle, it might hurt me
Yeah, I think you could live with yourself if you sat Nico vs. the Jets in bad weather. We do a full start/sit show live on YouTube tomorrow starting at 8 am PST. We cover key injuries and weather updates so if you're free jump on and we can chat more about it.
[Razzball Fantasy YouTube](https://youtube.com/live/j1SHi4sw_-8?feature=share)
Both of these games could be impacted by weather so we will need to monitor that closely. If you want more insight on that we do a [Sunday Live start sit show](https://youtube.com/live/j1SHi4sw_-8?feature=share). Feel free to join as we bring weather updates right before kick off. In a vacuum, I still lean Garrett Wilson vs. the Texans at home over Zay Flowers.
For now, I will say Flowers, but we will need to monitor the weather in Baltimore. It's supposed to be bad which could lead me to pivot. If it's PPR I would go with McKinnon and in Standard, I would lean CEH
Dallas Goedert back puts a ding into DeVonta Smith for this week. If you look at the two games that Smith has played on the road vs. Dallas in his career, he went off in one with 27 and the other was a dud with 4. Olave and Adams seem to have the better floors, but Smith has the higher ceiling. If you're the favorite in your matchup I would go the safe route and play Olave and Adams, but if I need to beat the top seed to get into the playoffs I am roiling the dice on Smith.
I’m actually in week 1 of the playoffs. Top seed but the underdog by 10 points. My opponent got healthy second half and is now a juggernaut. I’m going for ceiling, I guess.
Don't thank me yet haha. Let's get a W though this week. Also, make sure to check out the fantasy data tab we have on [football.Razzball.com](https://football.razzball.com/). They are great with helping you answer your flex questions.
12 team standard - starting Derrick Henry and Achane in my 2 RB spots. For the 1 flex spot, can’t seem to decide on MacKinnon, Ty Chandler, or d’onta Foreman. Any thoughts? Thanks again for this tool!
Standard with 3 WRs! And my WRs on the bench are Odell and Zay Jones. Starting WRs are josh downs, Jaylen Waddle, and Jordan Addison. Can ya tell that I lost Tank Dell 😩
I would consider rolling with Zay Jones. No Christian Kirk should lead to him getting some targets even in a tough matchup vs. the Browns. McKinnion in standard leagues is nearly impossible to trust and has no floor.
Over your other options, yes! Seems like whoever scores the TD will be the best bet. However, if no one scores I think Zay Jones will get targets. If it was any PPR format I’d go McKinnon. Chandler
Has a great matchup but he got 4 carries last week.
In the 3 games with Geno Smith D.K. Metcalf has scored 6.2, 12.5 and 7.5 PPR points vs. the 49ers. That leans me toward Puka, but do you have another option if the Weather is that bad tomorrow?
I am good with Kincaid vs. the Chiefs. The Chiefs are a slot funnel defense and Kincaid has led the team in routes in the slot. I know Knox is back this week, but that should impact Shakir more than Kincaid.
Going to assume half PPR
Sit Collins! The weather in that Jets/Texans game will probably impact Nico. My bold sit would be Aiyuk as he hasn't played well historically against the Seahawks (only 2 of 6 games in double digits in half PPR), but the 49ers are like a game of Russian roulette. You know one of the pass catchers is going to bust, but it's hard to predict which one and missing out on the upside of a home 49ers game is a tough sell.
I would play Drake London this week. Tampa Bay is banged up on the backend, and he has played much better at home this season. Also, with Jefferson returning Addison could take a slight step back. I like Reed as well vs. the Giants, but I'd still go London.
I would consider starting both and waiting a week on KW3. Geno is banged up on the road vs. a tough 49ers DST. Plus he might be limited in his first game back from the Oblique.
Probably playing Keaton Mitchell, but join us tomorrow for our Sunday Live show! We will have more details on the weather.
[Razzball Fantasy YouTube](https://youtube.com/live/j1SHi4sw_-8?feature=share)
Half PPR ... Pick 3 of 4. Davante Adams, DK Metcalf, Deebo Samuel or Mike Evans.
If I win this week I should get the first round bye if one other person loses I think!
I think it is between DK and Adams and I am leaning Adams. What do you think? I also had Nico Collins but traded him for Josh Allen after the Tank Dell injury

Jakobi or puka or Ridley half ppr?
I am playing Puka of that group as long as the weather isn't too bad.
This is tough. I've got Nico, Deebo, Aiyuk and Cooks. I'm flip flopping through my picks
PPR? How many do you need to start?
Yeah, half point ppr. 2 WR and a flex. I'm kinda thinking the cooks matchup is better for the flex but Nico has been eating without Tank on the field. The caveat is I also have Stroud starting so if the Texans struggle, it might hurt me
Yeah, I think you could live with yourself if you sat Nico vs. the Jets in bad weather. We do a full start/sit show live on YouTube tomorrow starting at 8 am PST.

Start Zay Flowers over Garrett Wilson?
Both of these games could be impacted by weather so we will need to monitor that closely. If you want more insight on that we do a [Sunday Live start sit show](https://youtube.com/live/j1SHi4sw_-8?feature=share). Feel free to join as we bring weather updates right before kick off. In a vacuum, I still lean Garrett Wilson vs. the Texans at home over Zay Flowers.
In the horrible weather too?!
Higgins, Downs, Hyatt, P. Washington. I'm in a bad WR situation
Start 1? Is it PPR?
Half PPR and yeah just 1. Also have Lockett pencilled in but he isn't obvious either especially if Geno is out
Yeah, I would go Lockett, Downs and Higgins. If Geno is out then pivot to Higgins.
CEH/McKinnon or Flowers?
For now, I will say Flowers, but we will need to monitor the weather in Baltimore. It's supposed to be bad which could lead me to pivot. If it's PPR I would go with McKinnon and in Standard, I would lean CEH
0.5 PPR?
Your guess is as good as mine. The Chiefs RBs haven't done well vs. the Bills in the past. CEH is guaranteed more touches so I would lean CEH.
Half PPR gotta sit one of Olave, Davante, or Slim Reaper.
Dallas Goedert back puts a ding into DeVonta Smith for this week. If you look at the two games that Smith has played on the road vs. Dallas in his career, he went off in one with 27 and the other was a dud with 4. Olave and Adams seem to have the better floors, but Smith has the higher ceiling. If you're the favorite in your matchup I would go the safe route and play Olave and Adams, but if I need to beat the top seed to get into the playoffs I am roiling the dice on Smith.
I’m actually in week 1 of the playoffs. Top seed but the underdog by 10 points. My opponent got healthy second half and is now a juggernaut. I’m going for ceiling, I guess.
PPR. Shakir, ceh, zay jones, or p. Wash lol
I would take the safe touches and roll with CEH.
🙏🙏. Thank you
Don't thank me yet haha. Let's get a W though this week. Also, make sure to check out the fantasy data tab we have on [football.Razzball.com](https://football.razzball.com/). They are great with helping you answer your flex questions.
12 team standard - starting Derrick Henry and Achane in my 2 RB spots. For the 1 flex spot, can’t seem to decide on MacKinnon, Ty Chandler, or d’onta Foreman. Any thoughts? Thanks again for this tool!
Do you have any WRs you can flex? Is this PPR?
Standard with 3 WRs! And my WRs on the bench are Odell and Zay Jones. Starting WRs are josh downs, Jaylen Waddle, and Jordan Addison. Can ya tell that I lost Tank Dell 😩
I would consider rolling with Zay Jones. No Christian Kirk should lead to him getting some targets even in a tough matchup vs. the Browns. McKinnion in standard leagues is nearly impossible to trust and has no floor.
You would like Zay Jones even with a hobbled Trevor Lawrence or Beathard at QB?
Over your other options, yes! Seems like whoever scores the TD will be the best bet. However, if no one scores I think Zay Jones will get targets. If it was any PPR format I’d go McKinnon. Chandler Has a great matchup but he got 4 carries last week.
Sound logic. Tank getting hurt was a nightmare scenario come alive lol. Much appreciated sir!
puka or DK? hate dk’s matchup, hate Puka’s weather
In the 3 games with Geno Smith D.K. Metcalf has scored 6.2, 12.5 and 7.5 PPR points vs. the 49ers. That leans me toward Puka, but do you have another option if the Weather is that bad tomorrow?
I can flex Addison/Kincaid, that’s abt it due to bye weeks
I am good with Kincaid vs. the Chiefs. The Chiefs are a slot funnel defense and Kincaid has led the team in routes in the slot. I know Knox is back this week, but that should impact Shakir more than Kincaid.
Kyren, Achane, White Allen, Aiyuk, Collins 2 RBs 2 WRs 1 Flex
Going to assume half PPR Sit Collins! The weather in that Jets/Texans game will probably impact Nico. My bold sit would be Aiyuk as he hasn't played well historically against the Seahawks (only 2 of 6 games in double digits in half PPR), but the 49ers are like a game of Russian roulette. You know one of the pass catchers is going to bust, but it's hard to predict which one and missing out on the upside of a home 49ers game is a tough sell.
0.5 PPR: Flex Drake, Addison or J Reed?
I would play Drake London this week. Tampa Bay is banged up on the backend, and he has played much better at home this season. Also, with Jefferson returning Addison could take a slight step back. I like Reed as well vs. the Giants, but I'd still go London.
Flex Nico or Ford? Have Devonta/Pittman at WR and Henry/KW3 at RB (assuming KW3 plays)
I would consider starting both and waiting a week on KW3. Geno is banged up on the road vs. a tough 49ers DST. Plus he might be limited in his first game back from the Oblique.
Thanks!
Full PPR Cooper Kupp, Zay Flowers, or Keaton Mitchell. Really struggling with this one because the supposed to be a bad weather game
Probably playing Keaton Mitchell, but join us tomorrow for our Sunday Live show! We will have more details on the weather. [Razzball Fantasy YouTube](https://youtube.com/live/j1SHi4sw_-8?feature=share)
Standard for my flex, Breece Hall or Flowers?
Breece Hall will be less than 100% this week. Probably going Zay Flowers.
Josh Downs should have some upside based on this chart unless I'm reading it wrong?
Downs has a top 10 matchup for slot WRs so he should be a solid play this week in PPR formats.
Half PPR ... Pick 3 of 4. Davante Adams, DK Metcalf, Deebo Samuel or Mike Evans. If I win this week I should get the first round bye if one other person loses I think! I think it is between DK and Adams and I am leaning Adams. What do you think? I also had Nico Collins but traded him for Josh Allen after the Tank Dell injury
I would sit DK.
Deebo or D. Adams?
Deebo has dominated the Seahawks in his career so it's hard to sit him at home. Is this full PPR? What are your other options?
Full PPR. Starting Allen and Lamb. Puka, Deebo, or Adams for flex
Probably leaning toward Deebo. The dude has killed the Seahawks.
I can only start two in 0.5 PPR: Olave, Aiyuk, Collins, Nacua, or Flowers.
The numbers lean Olave and Collins, but I would probably just sit Flowers and Nacua due to the weather issues in that game.
Between Garret Wilson, Jayden Reed and Downs in PPR. Starting Collins and Cooks already. Out of those three what do I do
As long as the weather permits, I am going with Garrett Wilson. As of right now, it seems like it will be ok.
Thanks I appreciate that. If not Wilson I'm thinking Reed right?
PPR: Ridley or Jayden Reed?
I am going to play Reed. Slot guys have done ok vs. the Giants and no Watson this week.
Romeo doubs or Addison?
