Can you believe we’re already at the end of the fantasy football regular season? Wild. One minute you’re drafting sleepers in August, the next you’re fighting for your playoff life in December.
Some of you are in must-win territory — lose, and the curtain closes.
Some of you have already punched your postseason ticket and are battling for seeding.
And some of you… are here to play spoiler. And honestly? We salute you. If you’re still grinding in Week 14 with nothing to gain but chaos, you’re the heartbeat of fantasy football.

Teams on Bye: Giants, Patriots, Niners, Panthers
Before we dive in, do yourself a favor and make sure these guys aren’t sitting on your wire:
Zach Ertz, Juwan Johnson, Theo Johnson, Harold Fannin, Colston Loveland, Brenton Strange,
If any of the above are out there, stop reading and go fix that.
Week 14 Tight End Streamers
Darren Waller, Miami Dolphins
Darren Waller returned from IR in Week 13 and immediately reclaimed a real role:
-
68.9% route share
-
13% target share
-
47 receiving yards
Don’t forget who Waller was to start the year:
Weeks 1–3: 16.2, 16.3, and 8.2 half-PPR points before the injury.
He totaled 10 catches, 117 yards, and 4 TDs in three healthy games.
He has one of the best fantasy playoff schedules among tight ends, drawing the Steelers and Bengals — both top-6 in points allowed to TEs.
Waller should settle right back into the No. 2 passing role behind Jaylen Waddle, with elite red-zone usage waiting to resurface.
If he’s on your wire, this is the easiest “must-add” call of the week. He has every chance to become a set-it-and-forget-it TE for the fantasy playoffs.
Isaiah Likely, Baltimore Ravens
Isaiah Likely finally flashed the upside we’ve been waiting on, dropping a 5/95 line on Thanksgiving and showing his big-play ability. Yes, he also put the ball on the deck at the goal line — a brutal would-be TD fumble
Since Lamar Jackson’s return in Week 9, Likely’s role has quietly trended up. From Week 9 onward, he’s earned targets on 23% of his routes, elite territory for tight ends. He’s still technically the TE2 behind Mark Andrews, but his athleticism and route involvement make him a legit streamer with ceiling.
The Ravens will need him again in Sunday’s AFC North slugfest with the Steelers, and the big-play role is clearly intact. If you need upside, Likely checks the box.
Week 14 Tight End Sleepers
AJ Barner, Seattle Seahawks
AJ Barner continues to be one of the sneakiest values at tight end this season. He’s currently the TE21 in fantasy points per game, but the headline is the four TE1 weekly finishes he’s already posted — the kind of volatility you can actually use when streaming.
The role is quietly growing, too. Over his last four games, Barner has three red-zone targets, and he’s been heavily involved.
Barner has been a legitimate hidden gem:
37 receptions, 359 yards, 5 total touchdowns across 12 starts.
Nothing flashy — just steady volume and creative usage.
Barner’s firmly on the streaming radar this week against the Falcons.
Gunner Helm, Tennessee Titans
I hate repeating players… but the volume has been there.
Helm has now posted back-to-back games with 7+ targets, and in Week 13 he went 6-for-7 for 23 yards while leading the Titans in targets for the second straight week. That came even with Elic Ayomanor returning, so the involvement is real.
Is Tennessee’s offense a mess? Absolutely.
Is Helm doing a ton with the volume? Not yet.
But in a TE landscape defined by desperation, consistency in targets matters.
Helm should stay heavily involved through the second half of his rookie year and remains a viable deep-league streamer for anyone chasing usage over touchdown variance.
