The Week 14 Wide Receiver Showdown is about to begin, and we're diving deep into the world of PPR scoring to uncover the best and worst matchups.

- Drake London vs. Seahawks
- George Pickens at Lions (Thurs.)
- Jameson Williams vs. Cowboys (Thurs.)

But wait, there's more! We've got some teams on bye this week: 49ers, Giants, Panthers, and Patriots. So, let's dive into the players who could shine or struggle in their matchups.
Start of the Week:
Jameson Williams vs. Cowboys (Thurs. 8:15 p.m. ET, Prime Video): Despite his inconsistent floor, Williams is a must-start against Dallas. With Amon-Ra St. Brown injured, he'll be the Lions' go-to receiver. And get this, the Cowboys have been vulnerable to wideouts, allowing 13 receivers to score 14+ points. It's time to unleash Williams!
Start 'Em:
Michael Pittman Jr. at Jaguars (1 p.m. ET, CBS): After a disappointing performance last week, Pittman Jr. is ready to bounce back. He's faced the Jaguars nine times in his career, averaging a solid 15.4 points. This week, he's up against a plus matchup, so expect big things from the veteran.
Chris Olave at Buccaneers (1 p.m. ET, CBS): Olave, despite a back injury, scored a touchdown last week. He's got a great chance to shine against the Buccaneers, who have been vulnerable to wide receivers in recent weeks. Olave already beat them once this season, so he's a reliable starter.
Courtland Sutton at Raiders (4:05 p.m. ET, CBS): Sutton found the end zone last week, and he's looking to keep the momentum going against the Raiders. They've been allowing a lot of points to wideouts since Week 6, so Sutton could be in for a big game.
Christian Watson vs. Bears (4:25 p.m. ET, Fox): Watson has been on fire since his return, scoring consistently. He's a flex starter against the Bears, who have struggled to contain wide receivers. Watson could be a fantasy hero this week!

Now, let's talk about the players you might want to bench for Week 14.
Sit of the Week:
Justin Jefferson vs. Commanders (1 p.m. ET, Fox): It's hard to believe, but Jefferson has been virtually invisible lately. The Vikings' quarterback situation hasn't helped, but this week's matchup against the Commanders might not be the best for him. It's time to consider other options.
Sit 'Em:
Emeka Egbuka vs. Saints (1 p.m. ET, CBS): Egbuka has been struggling, and the Saints' defense has been tough on perimeter receivers. It's a risky move to start him this week.
Devonta Smith at Chargers (Mon. 8:15 p.m. ET, ESPN): Smith has been inconsistent, and the Chargers have a strong defense against wide receivers. His floor is too unpredictable, so it's best to sit him.
Deebo Samuel Sr. at Vikings (1 p.m. ET, Fox): Samuel Sr. has been underperforming, and a matchup against the Vikings is not ideal. They've allowed the fewest fantasy points to wideouts, so he's a risky flex option.
Xavier Worthy vs. Texans (8:20 p.m. ET, NBC): Worthy might not have much luck against the NFL's best defense. The Texans have been stingy, allowing very few points to perimeter receivers. It's a tough matchup for him.
