Fantasy football waiver wire Week 14: 7 drop candidates to debate

We're off and running with the thirteenth week of waiver wire pickups in fantasy football as Week 14 looms. But you might be thinking about which players on your roster to keep or to drop as you make those decisions.

That's what this weekly column -- a keep 'em or drop 'em debate -- aims to help with. We're going to focus on who you should hang on to or who you should definitely cut in order to pick up one of the intriguing names available.

A reminder to check out our weekly waiver wire post and our waiver wire ladder article with all the names you should look at picking up. Let's dive in with names to potentially drop or to keep:

WR Justin Jefferson, Minnesota Vikings

I know, it's been ROUGH to say the least. But NO. ABSOLUTELY DO NOT DROP HIM. You just don't know what could happen over the next few weeks. You may have to bench him, but you know the moment you do, he'll have a big game.

VERDICT: Keep him

RB Tyjae Spears, Tennessee Titans

Even if Tony Pollard gets injured, will Spears have a ton more value? Nah.

VERDICT: Drop him

WR Ricky Pearsall, San Francisco 49ers

A bye and not a lot of opportunities means he's probably fine to drop.

VERDICT: Drop him

WR Keenan Allen, Los Angeles Chargers

He hasn't seen the end zone since mid-October and has topped 50 yards once since then. You know what to do.

VERDICT: Drop him

WR Tez Johnson, Tampa Bay Buccaneers

It was fun while it lasted, but now Chris Godwin is back and maybe we'll see Mike Evans soon.

VERDICT: Drop him

RB Isiah Pacheco, Kansas City Chiefs

Ugh, not great. But if Kareem Hunt gets injured, maybe he gets a boost?

VERDICT: Keep him

WR Brian Thomas Jr., Jacksonville Jaguars

What an absolute bust in fantasy. I'm fine with dropping him given what we've seen out of the Jags' offense this year.

VERDICT: Drop him
