10 Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Targets Heading Into Week 14
Breaking out with a big workload on Sunday makes Jeff Wilson a valuable add. Who else should you target on the waiver wire this week?

Justin Jackson, RB, Los Angeles Chargers

Yahoo Ownership: 22%

With Melvin Gordon sidelined in Week 13, the Los Angeles Chargers running game revolved heavily around Austin Ekeler for most of Sunday night's game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Through the first three quarters of the game, Ekeler carried the ball 11 times, compared to just two for Justin Jackson. But it was Jackson who took over in the fourth quarter, touching the ball seven times compared to just four to Ekeler.

And he made the most of that opportunity, including racking up 55 yards on his way to scoring the go-ahead touchdown to put the Chargers up by seven halfway through the final frame. Overall he finished the game with nine touches for 82 yards and one touchdown.

As of writing, Gordon's status is still unclear for Week 14, putting Jackson firmly in the discussion for the top waiver addition of the week. If Gordon can't go in Week 15, Jackson will likely play a big role, and we have now seen what he can do with that opportunity.
