If you’re still playing meaningful fantasy football in week 14, congratulations. Either you play in a good league that has a consolation bracket or you’re in the playoffs. Either way, making the right pickup can help you end your season in the best possible situation.

To help you with that each Tuesday throughout the season on Fansided.com we’ve outlined the top 10 waiver wire pickups for the coming week. In each top 10, there is at least one quarterback, running back, wide receiver, and tight end as well as a team defense with a favorable matchup in case you are streaming defenses or looking for a one-week fill in.

Throughout the rest of the week, keep coming back to Fansided’s fantasy page where you’ll find continuing coverage and analysis to help you get the win you need in week 14.

All players on this list or in the “best of the rest” on the final page are available in at least 50% of ESPN leagues as of Monday and their ownership percentages are included in parentheses. That means that some of the players on the list in the past (last week’s post available here) like Andre Brown (pictured above), Rashad Jennings, Nick Foles, Coby Fleener, Riley Cooper, Jarrett Boykin, Keenan Allen, Zac Stacy, Harry Douglas, Jordan Reed, Alshon Jeffery, Jordan Cameron, Julius Thomas, and Chris Ivory are no longer eligible to appear even though they still make good pickups if they’re available.

If you’re not sure about your waiver claim or want some personalized advice, feel free to ask me on twitter @ZT_Sports or include the question in a comment at the bottom of the page. I’ll do my best to answer all your questions as quickly as possible.

All scoring references are from NFL.com’s default scoring which simply is used to give a common baseline to work from. Adjust appropriately your team and league scoring system. Here are my top ten additions headed into week 14:
