With six teams on a bye and playoff berths on the line, fantasy players kept the waiver wire busy vying for fill-in fantasy football lineup options. As always, I’ll try to help you with any remaining roster holes you have. This feature applies to leagues of all sizes, pinpointing guys who may be available in free agency for Week 14.

The analysis is based on PPR scoring, and players are listed in order of preference for pickup and lineup usage. Rostered percentages are from CBSSports.com.

Marquez Valdes-Scantling, WR, NO (52 percent rostered): MVS’ rostered percentage continues to climb, but many skeptics remain because of his long history of following good games with long quiet spells. But the new reality is that Derek Carr enjoys hitting Valdes-Scantling downfield frequently, to the tune of four TDs in the last three games. The New York Giants rank sixth in fantasy points per game allowed to WRs over the past four weeks, but their defense may also spend a lot of time on the field.

Elijah Moore, WR, CLE (39 percent): Jameis Winston continues to operate as a madman gunslinger, which bodes well for the Cleveland Browns pass-catchers. Moore totaled 18-plus PPR points in two of his last three games. Pittsburgh allowed 38 points last week, and Winston will fling the ball around the yard against any opponent.

Sean Tucker, RB, TB (15 percent): Bucky Irving’s status for Week 14 is uncertain because of hip and back issues. Fantasy players may remember when Tucker totaled 192 scrimmage yards and two TDs in Week 6. If Irving is out against the Las Vegas Raiders, Tucker moves to the top of this list. He is a determined short-yardage runner in a matchup against a Raiders defense that ranks 28th in points per game allowed (27.8). Even in a timeshare with Rachaad White, Tucker will be an exciting play.

Noah Gray, TE, KC (22 percent): After reeling off a pair of two-TD outings, Gray caught four of six targets for 58 yards last week, and I’ll take that from a streaming fantasy TE any time. Gray is too widely available. Patrick Mahomes trusts him on important passing downs and in TD situations.

Adam Thielen, WR, CAR (48 percent): He caught eight passes on 10 targets for 99 yards and a TD last week, and while the Carolina Panthers are embracing a youth movement under head coach Dave Canales, Thielen still has a role now that he is healthy. Bryce Young is improving, and leaning on a veteran to assist him helps his progress. The Panthers have been respectably competitive lately, and Thielen can pad totals playing from behind against the Philadelphia Eagles.

Tre Tucker, WR, LV (13 percent): Aidan O’Connell opened up the Las Vegas offense more last week, and Jakobi Meyers is also dealing with an ankle issue. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers rank 27th in fantasy points per game allowed to WRs, and Tucker has upside as a downfield target. He caught one pass last week, but it was for a 58-yard TD, and he could see more targets and opportunities this week.

Ray-Ray McCloud III, WR, ATL (8 percent): He’s not an upside play, yet McCloud registered double-digit PPR totals in each of the last two games, and Kirk Cousins will certainly look his way to see if McCloud can dodge and slither for a few extra yards. No team allows more fantasy points per game to WRs than the Minnesota Vikings. McCloud also has an individual WR/CB matchup grade of 88.5 when he draws Fabian Moreau in coverage, which qualifies as “Excellent.” Moreau may have to start because Stephon Gilmore is dealing with a hamstring injury.

Kimani Vidal, RB, LAC (32 percent): Gus Edwards could start losing touches to the rookie as soon as this week. Vidal averaged five yards per carry last week and can invigorate a Los Angeles Chargers offense that needs a sparkplug in an important matchup with the Kansas City Chiefs.

Will Dissly, TE, LAC (40 percent): The Chiefs are often a good fantasy matchup for opposing TEs. They rank 30th in fantasy points per game allowed to the position. Justin Herbert lacks regularly reliable targets overall and should look to Dissly in some key passing situations this week.

Sincere McCormick, RB, LV (21 percent): The undrafted rookie might have a role in the Raiders offense even if Alexander Mattison returns from an ankle injury. McCormick is averaging 5.7 yards per carry in his limited action so far, earning a longer look. The Las Vegas offensive line has a top-10 run-blocking grade for Week 14 on Pro Football Focus.

Sterling Shepard, WR, TB (7 percent): In each of the past two games, Shepard was targeted seven times. Over the past four weeks, the Raiders rank 22nd in receptions allowed to WRs. Shepard is capable of posting decent fantasy totals in this matchup. Come on, it’s the Raiders. Take the chance if you need a one-week deeper play.

Juwan Johnson, TE, NO (25 percent): With Taysom Hill out as the New Orleans Saints continue to be ravaged by offensive injuries, Johnson might be needed to play a bigger role in the passing game now. He was targeted seven times last week and is a familiar option for Carr.

Travis Homer, RB, CHI (2 percent): Injuries could push Homer into a prime offensive role. He models as a scatback who won’t create much of his own running room, but the San Francisco 49ers have allowed the most fantasy points per game to RBs over the last four weeks, so you can gamble on Homer in a super desperate RB scenario.

Darius Slayton, WR, NYG (26 percent): Slayton has been statistically invisible since Week 8. Pro Football Focus, however, gives him a WR/CB matchup grade of 95.7 against the Saints’ Alontae Taylor, which rates as “Excellent.” Drew Lock won’t hesitate to take a downfield shot, and Slayton is capable of getting loose for a big-play opportunity or two.
