The fantasy football regular season is coming to a close and you're likely heading into Week 14 on the cusp of the playoffs. We have four teams on bye in Week 14 — the Giants, 49ers, Patriots and Panthers. You may also be looking to add a kicker off the waiver wire to stream. We've got some kicking options to consider via Justin Boone's weekly waiver wire pickups column.

Brandon McManus vs. Bears: The Packers kicker has 20 total fantasy points over the past two games and looks to be back on track after missing games earlier in the season due to injury. It's a tough matchup for kickers against Chicago, but this game should see both teams making multiple trips to the red zone.

Evan McPherson at Bills: With Joe Burrow back in the lineup, it's no surprise McPherson was busy on Thanksgiving, posting a week-high of 24 fantasy points. That made six straight games of at least eight fantasy points for McPherson. He should be rostered in more leagues, especially going into the fantasy postseason.
Riley Patterson at Jets: The Dolphins kicker has one of the safer floors among the position with at least six fantasy points in all but two games this season. New York's defense is just good enough to get some stops, so expect plenty of work for Patterson in Week 14.
