Week 14 Fantasy Rankings: Ranking the Top WRs in Fantasy Football

In Week 14 of the NFL season, the following six receivers are projected to be the top fantasy football starts at their position: 

1. Calvin Johnson, Lions

Johnson has been fantasy's No. 1 receiver all season long, so it's not a surprise to see him in this spot with a tasty matchup against the Minnesota Vikings this week.

Leslie Frazier's team's secondary is decimated by injuries and was shredded last week by none other than Tim Tebow. The Lions' prolific passing offense should run circles around the Vikings defense on Sunday.

2. Dez Bryant, Cowboys

Bryant hasn't had that one game this season that would make him a candidate to be the No. 2 fantasy receiver in a given week, but this one might be different. Bryant scored three touchdowns in two games against the Giants last season, so there's reason to think he could continue that success in 2011.

Bryant also has touchdowns in three of the last four weeks.

3. Wes Welker, Patriots

The reports of Welker's fantasy demise were greatly exaggerated. After two weeks with a combined 68 yards, Welker went for 115 and 110 yards in back-to-back weeks. Touchdowns are the only remaining concern, with Welker having caught a score in just one game in his last six.

Let's bank on him getting back to paydirt this week against the Redskins.

4. Greg Jennings, Packers

Jennings has earned a spot on the top five every week because of his consistency. In all but one game this season, Jennings has tallied either 80 yards or a score. The Raiders aren't a sure-fire matchup, but the play of Aaron Rodgers makes Jennings a must-play every week.

5(t). Victor Cruz, Giants

5(t). Percy Harvin, Vikings

I had to include Cruz on this list because of the production he's shown over the past six weeks. In that time, Cruz has 678 yards and four touchdowns. In a game where the Giants will be throwing plenty, Cruz should have another big output. 

Harvin also deserved a spot on this list. Now healthy and finally a focal point of the Vikings offense, Harvin has 324 yards and four scores over his last three games. Minnesota will likely be down against the Lions, so expect Harvin to see the ball early and often on Sunday.
