Fantasy Football Week 14 Waiver Wire Watch

We're getting down to the nitty gritty. Most leagues have two or less regular season games left, while many leagues start their playoffs this week. That means you need to scour the waiver wire for a gem or two if your current roster isn't boosting your confidence heading into Week 14.

Stay updated with NFL Soups' Breaking News, and then hit our other top fantasy pieces to get all the information you need this week to be successful and keep your fantasy team alive.

The following are the top guys available in at least 50 percent of leagues:


Vince Young, QB, Tennessee Titans (Available in 63 percent of leagues)

Young and Alex Smith (below) continue to be available in over 60 percent of leagues a piece, yet churn out respectable fantasy days on a regular basis. Young's Titans didn't hand the Colts their first loss this week, but Young was able to throw for 241 yards and two touchdowns. Needless to say, if you're depending on Joe Flacco, Matt Ryan, or a rookie passer, Young would be a solid upgrade for your playoff run.

Next up: St. Louis Rams

Matchup Rating: 5/5

Alex Smith, QB, San Francisco 49ers (66 percent)

Smith continues to perform at a high level, responding with a career high 310 yards, while also throwing two scores and no picks, a week after throwing three touchdowns in a game for the second time this season. Smith has the 49ers' offense running smoothly, and even though it hasn't added up to wins, he's still a decent fantasy starter, and could help a team in need.

Next up: Arizona Cardinals

Matchup Rating: 3/5

Chad Henne, QB, Miami Dolphins (90 percent)

Henne is growing up right before our eyes, as he dropped in two touchdowns and 335 yards passing against the New England Patriots. He's still a bit risky to use due to his inexperience, but with his solid progression and the help of his strong running game, he's at least a safe bet to carry over this success into Week 14.

Next up: Jacksonville Jaguars

Match-up Rating: 5/5

Correll Buckhalter, RB, Denver Broncos (67 percent)

Buckhalter is clearly still a big part of the Broncos' rushing offense, and even though he normally will get less total touches than Knowshon Moreno, his ability to make things happen with the ball sustains his moderate fantasy value. He cracked 100-plus rushing yards last week in Denver's second straight win, and should continue to run the ball as Denver goes up against an Indy pass defense that is still performing well.

Next up: Indianapolis Colts

Match-up Rating: 4/5

Rock Cartwright, RB, Washington Redskins (68 percent)

With Clinton Portis likely out once again in Week 14, Cartwright should get the majority of the carries, and could be a quality RB2 with a nice matchup against a soft Oakland Raiders defense. His total yardage so far has been weak, but the touches are high enough to warrant taking a chance on him.

Next up: Oakland Raiders

Match-up Rating: 5/5
