Welcome to the Week 14 edition of The Wire Report for the 2021 NFL season. In this article I’ll be highlighting some of the top players that should still be available in your season long leagues.
The waiver wires are becoming more bare by the week. This week is no exception.
Below are my top waiver wire targets:
Dontrelle Hilliard – Running Back –Tennessee Titans (35.9% Rostered in ESPN Leagues)
There is somewhat of a running back by committee in Tennessee currently. Carries are currently being split between Hilliard and D’onta Foreman. Both Hilliard and Foreman showed off some wheels as they both surpassed the century mark.
Although Hilliard had 7 less carries, he outrushed Foreman by 22 yards thanks to an impressive 68 yard touchdown at the end of the half. If I had to pick between the two I would pick Hilliard. Up until this weekend Foreman hadn’t really shown off much upside. Hilliard is still available in more than 64% of the leagues on ESPN.
JaMycal Hasty – Running Back – San Francisco 49ers (.5% Rostered in ESPN Leagues)
This is a pick we’ll want to monitor throughout the week. There is a very real chance that Hasty enters week 14 as the main back after injuries to both Elijah Mitchell and Jeff Wilson. If both of those guys miss Sunday’s contest Hasty will get plenty of volume. If only one is out, while he will still get some volume, I won’t be as in love with the pickup.
Taysom Hill – Quarterback – New Orleans Saints (35.9% Rostered in ESPN Leagues)
All we needed was one week of Hill at QB to show the upside that he brings to the table. Yes, he had 4 interceptions this weekend. That will be a part of his game. But he also threw for 264 yards and rushed for 101.
He provides a ton of point potential through the air and on the ground. He’s still available in 65% of ESPN leagues which seems like way too many.
Russell Gage – Wide Receiver – Atlanta Falcons (25.2% Rostered in ESPN Leagues)
Gage is really seeing an upward trend in target share. Over the last 2 weeks he’s been targeted 19 times and now has at least 7 targets in 4 out of his last 5 games. This past week Gage had by far his best performance of the year with 11 catches and 130 receiving yards. Up next week is a matchup with a struggling Panthers team. With Gage building a solid rapport with Ryan over the last 4 weeks, look for him to continue building on the momentum.
Tevin Coleman – Running Back – New York Jets (42% Rostered in ESPN Leagues)
For the first time this year Coleman has back to back games with double digit carries. With Michael Carter expected to miss another game this weekend it will still be Coleman time. He’s done well with limited carries as this weekend he had over 5 yards per carry and the weekend before he was over 4 yards per carry. As long as he continues to get the volume he should be someone you should consider if you’re down a running back this weekend.
Jameson Crowder – Wide Receiver – New York Jets (25.1% Rostered in ESPN Leagues)
You know the wavier wire is scarce when I’m recommending 2 Jets. Now that Corey Davis is done for the year Crowder will be back to being one of the main weapons in the Jets offense. Crowder has at least 4 receptions in 7 out of the 9 games he’s played this year. With more targets being available now we can expect that number to climb. The Jets get to take on a Saints team that just got torched by the Cowboys. I’m not saying the Jets will win, but they should up some points and Crowder will be a part of it.
