Fantasy football: Adams tops Week 14 wide receiver rankings

MIAMI, Dec. 8 (UPI) -- Davante Adams, Tyler Lockett, CeeDee Lamb, Cooper Kupp and Stefon Diggs top my Week 14 fantasy football wide receiver rankings for 2021.

Terry McLaurin, Mike Evans, Tyreek Hill, D.J. Moore and Marquise Brown round out my Top 10 options for Week 14. Jarvis Landry is among my other favorite wide receivers to start this week.

Target players who have a good chance to score a touchdown and get a lot of looks from their respective quarterbacks when considering who to start at wide receiver.

Jaylen Waddle, DeVante Parker, Michael Pittman, Jakobi Meyers and Devonta Smith are among the wide receivers who should be benched this week, as their teams are on byes.

Here are some of my favorite players in this week's rankings:

TOP SHELF

Davante Adams should never leave your lineup, but the Green Bay Packers wide receiver should provide a significant advantage in Week 14. Adams totaled at least six catches in each of his last five games. He eclipsed 100 receiving yards in each of his last two games.

Adams scored in just one of his last four games, but should return to the end zone this week when the Packers host the Chicago Bears.

The Bears allowed the 10th-most fantasy points per game to wide receivers through 13 weeks. Look for Adams to dominate in this matchup, with at least 10 catches for 100 yards and a score. He is my top wide receiver.

SNEAKY PLAYS

Washington Football Team wide receiver Terry McLaurin is the No. 6 player in my Week 14 rankings. McLaurin totaled a season-low 22 yards in Week 13 and totaled just two scores over his last eight appearances, but I expect a rebound this week.

Washington hosts the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday in Landover, Md. The Cowboys allowed the third-most fantasy points per game to wide receivers through 13 weeks. They also just allowed 96 yards and a score to New Orleans Saints wide receiver Deonte Harris in Week 13.

Look for McLaurin to find the end zone and make several big plays in this matchup. He is a mid-range WR1.

LONGSHOTS

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jarvis Landry is my No. 19 option, but is a much better start in points-per-reception formats.

Landry caught six passes for a season-high 111 yards in Week 13. He should find similar success against the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday in Cleveland. The Ravens allowed the seventh-most receiving yards to wide receivers through 13 weeks.

Look for Landry to catch at least eight passes this week. He should total close to 100 yards in this AFC North division matchup. Landry is a WR2/WR3 play in leagues with at least 12 teams.
