Finding the right Week 14 fantasy football streamers at quarterback, tight end, defense and kicker has been a strategy I've successfully used for years.
I've parlayed that success into a series of weekly recommendations for the top streaming options at those three positions, as well as tight end, which can be of assistance in a pinch.

The concept behind streaming is that you add someone for a given week based on the matchup, rather than putting the emphasis behind a player's long-term projection.
I’m only highlighting players who are available in at least 40% of Yahoo! leagues. Please refer to my player rankings based on your league settings to see who is the best available player in your league.
Note: The optimal strategy for streamers is to add the player I have ranked the highest that is available in your specific league. I have no way of knowing who is the best option for your league, so I’m just highlighting the player I have ranked the highest that is available in more than 40% of leagues.
Use my rankings to see if there's a player who's available in your league and ranked higher than those mentioned below.
QB Joshua Dobbs (45% owned)
at Raiders
There is a chance Dobbs gets benched and doesn’t start Week 14 due to his four-interception game before the Vikings' Week 13 bye week. If he does draw the start, he would be a low-end QB1 and will have even more upside with Justin Jefferson potentially returning to the lineup.
With the risk that comes with Dobbs, starting him will ultimately come down to how much risk tolerance you want to take on. Jake Browning and Gardner Minshew would both offer a higher floor and would be safer bets if you are a larger favorite entering the week. If you're an underdog, you should be more willing to tap into Dobbs' upside.
TE Isaiah Likely (36% owned)
vs. Rams
As predicted, Likely was cut by quite a few fantasy managers with the Ravens on bye in Week 13.
Likely was essentially a 1-for-1 replacement for Mark Andrews in Week 12, running a route on 83% of Lamar Jackson’s dropbacks. Obviously, he’s not as talented as Andrews, but he could offer rest-of-season low-end TE1 value with that sort of usage.
Likely is worth streaming this week and is a solid potential rest-of-season option.
K Jake Moody (42% owned)
vs. Seahawks
The 49ers have the second-highest team total of the week and should provide Moody with plenty of scoring opportunities.
In a week that could have a handful of games with inclement weather, it looks like this game won’t be one of them. Obviously, that could change and if for some reason it does, Daniel Carlson is the best option (available in more than 40% of leagues) since he plays indoors.
Texans D/ST (16% owned)
at Jets
The Texans are the no-brainer streaming option this week (again, this doesn’t mean they are a lock to have a top-five week!). Houston has an easy matchup against the Jets, and it sounds like it could be Zach Wilson back under center.
The Texans defense is starting to heat up. I had mentioned Will Anderson Jr. as a buy-low player in terms of sack props, and he has four sacks over the last five games.
