Wide receivers are in the deepest NFL position of each Fantasy Football season. There are more legitimate starting options at wide receiver than any other position by a fairly significant margin. Week 14 of the 2022 Fantasy Football season will feature significantly fewer options than any other week as six NFL teams will be on their bye week.

While the intense bye week takes away many of the usual options at wide receiver, there is still plenty of value in the position in Fantasy Football for Week 14.

Analyzing all their direct weekly matchups and recent individual performances will help generate a list of wide receivers to target and others to avoid. This is a crucial week of the fantasy season before the playoffs begin.

NFL Week 14 Fantasy Football Wide Receivers: Start 'Em

Zay Jones - Jacksonville Jaguars vs. Tenessee Titans

Zay Jones is among the 25 most targeted wide receivers during the 2022 NFL season. He clearly has chemistry with quarterback Trevor Lawrence. He also ranks 33rd in total fantasy points entering Week 14.

Jones has a strong chance of continuing his strong season against the Tennessee Titans. They allow the most PPR points per game to opposing wide receivers

Jerry Jeudy - Denver Broncos vs. Kansas City Chiefs

Jerry Jeudy was on a hot streak prior to suffering an injury in Week 10. He set season highs in receptions for each of his two games prior to being injured. He returned in Week 13 against the Baltimore Ravens in limited fashion, but is expected to be fully ready for Week 14 game against the Kansas City Chiefs.

The Chiefs rank in the bottom five in fantasy points allowed per game to wide receivers. Jeudy could also see additional work with Courtland Sutton expected to miss the game.

Adam Thielen is a solid streaming option at wide receiver in Fantasy Football, but only in the right matchups. He has finished inside the top 30 wide receivers in PPR points six times, but has also finished outside the top 50 five times.

Week 14 presents a favorable situation against the Detroit Lions. They rank towards the bottom of the league defensively in just about every category. This includes allowing the fourth-most fantasy points per game to wide receivers.

Marquez Valdes-Scantling has finished inside the top 30 wide receivers four times during the 2022 Fantasy Football season. Only one of those performances has occurred within his last five games as Patrick Mahomes has focused the offensive attention towards other targets.

Week 14 will be challenging for MVS as he faced the Denver Broncos. They allow the fewest fantasy points per game to wide receivers.

Michael Gallup - Dallas Cowboys vs. Houston Texans

Michael Gallup put together his best performance of the 2022 Fantasy Football season in Week 13 against the Indianapolis Colts. He recorded his first multi-touchdown game, while finishing as WR16 in PPR points.

This was also his first appearance among the top 36 wide receivers this year. It will be difficult to turn in a repeat performance against the Houston Texans. While they allow the most fantasy points per game to running backs, they rank in the top five against wide receivers.
