Waiver Wire Targets Week 14
Welcome to the playoffs! I know some leagues aren't there yet but I am! It has been quite a season and I'm happy to know its not over yet! With a lot of hard work and tools (thanks FantasySP) my team is still chugging along, and holds the honor of most points scored in the regular season with a first round bye! I won't be taking the week off from waivers, must keep moving forward.
This week we are starting with tight end Ian Thomas on the Carolina Panthers. Thomas looks like the only option now that Greg Olsen is on injured reserve, and the Panthers will put him to the test this week. So far in his career he's had 16 catches for 133 yards. He is owned in 7% of leagues and should be easy to grab. We don't expect huge numbers from Thomas but tight end options are limited this deep in the season.
Wide receiver Curtis Samuel is also on our radar this week. The Carolina Panther had a season high 11 targets, caught six of them for 88 yards. He should see more work with Greg Olsen sidelined for the rest of the season. Samuel is owned in 32% of leagues and being started in 38%.
Jeff Wilson is the next player we are looking at this week. The San Francisco 49ers running back will be the primary back this week since Matt Breida is sitting out with an ankle injury. Wilson is only owned in 6% of leagues but that number should rise this week. He had a big week with eight catches for 73 yards and carried for 61 yards.
Our last potential pick-up this week is Jaylen Samuels on the Steelers. Samuels will be part of the running back committee now that Connor is out. He is owned in 52% of leagues, so you better move fast!
