This week using our Slot vs. Wide PPG Allowed Analysis on Razzball.com, we break down some of the top matchups for wide receivers heading into Week 14. These wide receivers are outside the top 24 in PPR PPG while our sits are inside the top 30. I guess these would be more “BOLD” starts and sits so if you’re second guessing some of these takes, bring your start sit questions to our Sunday live start sit show on the Razzball Fantasy YouTube channel, 8:00 am – 10:00 am PST every Sunday!
To hear a full breakdown of the slot vs. wide matchups join our wide receiver matchup show this Friday at 5:00 p.m. PST on the Razzball Fantasy YouTube channel, but for now, let’s dive into the top matchups for Week 14.

Wide Receiver Starts
Week 14 START: Brandin Cooks
Defense: Philadelphia Eagles
Out Wide PPG Allowed: 2nd
The Eagles vs. Cowboys game this weekend should be a fun one for fantasy. Over the past four games the Cowboys have played the Eagles at home they have scored 37 or more points in each contest. Meanwhile, Cooks over the past four home games has scored at least 14 PPR points, and finished as a top 24 WR in three of those four games. The Cowboys success at home vs. the Eagles along with Cooks success at home should put him firmly on the WR2/3 map.
Week 14 START: Drake London
Defense: Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Out Wide PPG Allowed: 5th
Drake London probably wont win you your fantasy week, but he does offer a safe floor in a nice matchup vs. a banged up Buccaneers secondary. Over the past eight weeks, London has hit double digit fantasy points in 66% of his games. This includes a solid PPR performance of 6-54 on the road at Tampa Bay earlier this year. Overall, London just flat out plays better at home so he should be a solid WR3/flex this week at home vs. the Bucs.
Week 14 Start: Zay Flowers
Defense: Los Angeles Rams
Slot PPG Allowed: 7th
Coming off a monster game in Week 12 vs. the Chargers, all fantasy managers should go right back to the well with Flowers in Week 14. In his first game action without Mark Andrews, Flowers saw nine touches turning them into 62 yards and two touchdowns. This week he gets to face a Rams DST that allowed solid production to Elijah Moore (4-83), and Marquise Brown (6-88) each of the past two weeks.
Week 14 START: Elijah Moore
Defense: Jacksonville Jaguars
Slot PPG Allowed: 9th
A lot of this rides on two things happening. The first being that Joe Flacco is named the starter in Week 14. The second is that Amari Cooper is ruled out. If both of those things happen then Elijah Moore should be a solid WR3/Flex this week. Moore looked great with Flacco last week securing 4-83 vs. the Rams. Now he faces a Jaguars defense that just allowed 20 receptions to the Bengals wide receivers.
Wide Receiver DON’T Sit(s)
Week 14 START: Nico Collins
Defense: New York Jets
Out Wide Allowed: 32nd
This is the part of the article where we take some bold swings and tell you to sit a top 30 wide receiver. Unfortunately, I couldn’t do it. Instead, I am going to tell you to start Nico Collins in an terrible matchup vs. the New York Jets. The one thing about the Jets that is notable is that the elite WR1s have performed well vs. them. A.J. Brown (7-131), Keenan Allen (8-77), Davante Adams (6-86), and Tyreek Hill (9-102-1) all finished inside the top 24. Now with no Tank Dell, Collins is the clear alpha and still a solid play in Week 14.
Week 13 Recap
START Deebo Samuel vs. the Chargers – HIT
START Courtland Sutton vs. the Commanders – HIT
START Jayden Reed vs. the Giants – MISS
SIT Tank Dell vs. the Broncos – HIT
Start Jaylen Waddle vs. the Eagles – MISS
Score – 3 of 5
