In the world of fantasy football, the waiver wire is a crucial tool for managers to find hidden gems and plug the holes in their lineups. With several notable injuries and standout performances in Week 13, it's time to take a look at the top waiver wire pickups for Week 14.

One of the biggest blows in recent weeks was the injury to Houston Texans wide receiver Tank Dell, who fractured his left fibula and will miss the rest of the season. With Dell out, fantasy managers are left wondering who will step up to fill the void. Look no further than Noah Brown, who should see an increase in targets as Houston's No. 2 wide receiver behind Nico Collins. Brown, who is rostered in 34.5% of ESPN leagues, has shown promise in the past, scoring 51.5 fantasy points over Weeks 9 and 10. With a favorable matchup against the New York Jets in Week 14, Brown is an excellent pickup for managers looking ahead to the playoffs.

Another wide receiver to consider adding is Romeo Doubs, who is rostered in 38.5% of leagues. Doubs has been impressive for the Green Bay Packers, averaging 6.1 targets and 11.4 fantasy points this season. With Christian Watson dealing with a hamstring injury, Doubs' role is expected to increase, making him a valuable asset for fantasy managers. Jayden Reed, rostered in 42.6% of leagues, is also worth considering. Reed has scored 11 or more fantasy points in five of his past seven games, including two games with 19 or more points. Both Doubs and Reed are in a favorable position as Jordan Love's play improves, and the Packers face a Giants defense that has allowed the ninth-most fantasy points to wide receivers in Week 14.

In the Jacksonville Jaguars' offense, running back Raheem Brown could see a larger role with Christian Kirk out due to a groin injury. Brown has averaged 10.1 fantasy points per game in the four games this season where he has received five or more targets. This increase in workload makes him a valuable pickup for the fantasy playoffs.

Other notable waiver wire pickups include Demario Douglas (33.4%), Jalin Hyatt (2.4%), Khalil Shakir (5.8%), Curtis Samuel (44.6%), and Keaton Mitchell (30.7%). All of these players have demonstrated their potential and should be considered by fantasy managers in need of reinforcements for the upcoming weeks.

It's important to stay vigilant on the waiver wire as injuries continue to impact teams and unexpected breakout performances emerge. As the fantasy playoffs approach, making savvy pickups could be the key to success. Whether it's finding a replacement for an injured star or discovering a hidden gem, the waiver wire is a valuable resource for fantasy managers looking to make a championship run.
