It’s hard to believe that we are heading into Week 14 already! There are quite a few top values and mid-values this week! Let’s check out this week’s high-end picks, best values, and some buyer beware picks at wide receiver.
CeeDee Lamb – ($7,200 DK, $7,800 FD) – Lamb is one of the more expensive receivers this week who are actually playing. Lamb and his Cowboys get a great matchup this week as they head to Washington. The WFT rank 30th in giving up points to wide receivers so far this season. Lamb has done quite well when playing on the road versus a bad defense by averaging 17.20 fantasy points per game and has been 100 percent consistent in those games. He’s an excellent start this week.
Tyreek Hill – BEWARE – ($8,500 DK, $8,700 FD) – Normally I leave Tyreek in the section above, but this week is pretty tough on the most expensive receiver on the slates. The Raiders are actually ranked fifth in giving up the fewest fantasy points to receivers so far in 2021. Hill has not been as good when playing at home versus a good defense by averaging only 14.77 fantasy points per game and has been only 67 percent consistent in those games. Solid, but not at that price tag. I’ll pass on the Cheetah this week.

Best Value – WR – Jaylen Guyton – ($3,400 DK, $5,200 FD) – Sometimes the best values will fall into your lap and Guyton is that receiver this week. With Keenan Allen out due to COVID and possibly Mike Williams as well, Guyton is the main receiver for the Chargers this week versus the Giants. The Giants rank 23rd in giving up fantasy points to wide receivers this year and Guyton can benefit from all of these scenarios this week. And at that price of only $3,400 on DraftKings, how can you say no?
Best Mid-Value – WR – Amari Cooper – ($5,900 DK, $6,700 FD) – Is it possible for two receivers from the same team to do well this week? Absolutely! The Washington team is really bad versus receivers and a stack of Lamb and Cooper is a perfect combination for this week. Cooper averages 19.18 fantasy points per game and is 75 percent consistent when playing on the road versus a bad defense. Do the stack!
