Fantasy football is rounding its final lap of the regular season in most leagues. However, with bye weeks still ongoing, it is set to be trickier for some teams than others. Teams affected by byes are likely to be in the weeds in the fantasy football waiver wire this week.To help with the task of finding some diamonds in the rough for your fantasy football team, Sportskeeda has taken the time to compile a list of the top waiver wire additions you need heading into this crucial moment in the season. Considering their scarcity, running backs were given a boost in priority.Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Priority Adds for Week 14Top 10 Week 14 Waiver Wire TargetsPositionTeam1.

Dylan SampsonRBCleveland BrownsTop Fantasy Football Week 14 Waiver Wire PickupsWaiver Wire RB adds for Week 14Samaje Perine at Chicago Bears v Cincinnati Bengals - Source: Getty1] Samaje Perine, Cincinnati BengalsSamaje Perine received a whopping 14 carries against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 13. He didn't do much with them, compiling just 39 yards, but if he receives a similar number of carries in Week 14, look out.Perine managed to turn nine carries into 94 yards and a touchdown in Week 8, so he's due for another explosion against the Buffalo Bills, a team that has struggled to stop the run.2] Ty Johnson, Buffalo BillsTy Johnson appears when defenses least expect it, and an explosion likely occurs. It is quite difficult to predict the moment of him popping. However, in a desperate situation, you at least have a chance to get on the board with JohnsonJohnson has been efficient in the receiving game over the last three games, earning 125 yards in that time, including five targets in Week 13.3] Dylan Sampson, Cleveland BrownsDylan Sampson is just one game removed from his breakaway touchdown in Shedeur Sanders' first start. Sampson suffered a calf injury against the San Francisco 49ers and is day-to-day, according to Kevin Stefanski via ESPN and The Athletic in a Monday report.If he can get back on the field and is nearly at 100%, Sampson could be in line for another usable production line, but there's also a chance he misses the contest. Still, he's worth a speculative addition if you have room to spare on your fantasy football team.Waiver Wire WR adds for Week 14John Metchie III at New York Jets v Baltimore Ravens - NFL 2025 - Source: Getty1] John Metchie III, New York JetsJohn Metchie III was a trivia question before Week 11. However, Metchie is now on a hot streak, tallying a touchdown in two of his last three games. If you need a receiver with some level of reliability, you could do worse than Metchie.The New York Jets are likely to spend most of the next month trailing in games, which opens the door for plenty of receiving opportunities as Tyrod Taylor attempts to claw the team back into the contests.2] Jayden Higgins, Houston TexansThe Houston Texans could have a new reliable receiver on their hands. Jayden Higgins has earned a touchdown in two of his last four games and saw as many as nine targets against the Buffalo Bills.Your fantasy football team could do worse than the rookie receiver who has also had seven targets in three of his last four games.3] Pat Bryant, Denver BroncosPat Bryant seemingly took a step forward against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 11, tallying a season-high six targets. He beat that number again in Week 13 after a bye with seven targets.Your fantasy football team has the chance to get in on the ground floor before Bryant faces some defenses that will focus on the starting receivers, opening things up for the rookie further.Waiver Wire TE adds for Week 14Dalton Schultz at Jacksonville Jaguars v Houston Texans - Source: Getty1] Dalton Schultz, Houston TexansDalton Schultz had his worst game of the season in Week 12, but bounced back in Week 13. Schultz has received eight targets in three of his last four games. If the tight end is available in your league, nab him before someone else notices.With the Arizona Cardinals and Las Vegas Raiders coming up in Weeks 15 and 16, Schultz could get your team over the top in the fantasy football playoffs.2] Brenton Strange, Jacksonville JaguarsBrenton Strange missed time from Week 6 to Week 11, but is doing all he can to make up for lost time, tallying 23.8 points in some leagues in his first two games since returning.Strange could see plenty of action against the Indianapolis Colts in what could be a pair of shootouts between the two upcoming Week 14 and Week 17 matchups.3] Evan Engram, Denver BroncosEvan Engram hasn't seen his target numbers decline since Week 8 to Week 9. As such, the tight end appears to be lining up as a key piece of Denver's offense.Fantasy football managers should take note of this and consider Engram with an upcoming Week 16 revenge game.
