The New York Giants, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Carolina Panthers and NFC West-leading Arizona Cardinals all have a bye this week. But it’s business as usual for the rest of the teams in the league.
And with this week’s matchups comes plenty of players that you should consider adding to your fantasy football rosters.
Here, DAZN lists some of those players who should be targeted on waivers in Week 11.
Quarterbacks
Justin Herbert
The Los Angeles Chargers’ quarterback might not set the stat sheet ablaze, though they are a winning team at 6-3 and he’s pretty reliable behind center in the pocket. That said, their Week 11 opponent, the Cincinnati Bengals, are allowing 26.2 points per game which should afford Herbert the opportunity to ring up a dazzling game at home. The QB with the big arm should air it out against the Bengals and he’s still available in many fantasy football leagues so snatch him off the waivers.
Bo Nix
If you need a quick fix at quarterback, consider the Denver Broncos’ rookie Nix. Their opponent in the Atlanta Falcons do give up 223 passing yards a game and Nix isn’t rostered in many leagues so there’s a chance he has a key game for the Broncos who are looking to bounce back from a loss.
Drake Maye
If you’re extremely thin at QB this week, perhaps roll the dice on the New England Patriots’ rookie. At home against the Los Angeles Rams who are coming off a loss on a short week might be just the perfect storm needed for Maye to produce off the waiver wires.
Running backs
Jaylen Warren
The Pittsburgh Steelers’ running back rung up 14 carries on Sunday, rushing for 66 yards while also receiving out the backfield for an additional 29 yards in a big win over the Washington Commanders. Perhaps that trend will continue this week when the Steelers host the Baltimore Ravens in an AFC North tilt.
Audric Estime
Estime’s 14 carries out the backfield suggest that he might get a good quality of touches in the Broncos’ rushing workload against the Falcons. Give him a shot in your league.
Gus Edwards
Edwards didn’t punch in a Chargers’ touchdown last week but he had red zone carries, spelling there’s potential for a TD. Also, his 55 yards on the ground is noteworthy enough to perhaps snag him at running back this week, especially in deeper leagues. Even if it's to stash him.
Wide receivers
Marquez Valdes-Scantling
At 3-7, the New Orleans Saints’ season looks to be a wash. But there are some promising things happening with Valdes-Scantling especially the three catches he had for 109 yards and two touchdowns in a win over the Falcons.
Why not give him a try in Week 11 when the Saints host the Cleveland Browns? Landing him and giving him the starting nod could pay off.
Ricky Pearsall
The San Francisco 49ers host an NFC West division tilt in the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday and Pearsall could be worth trying out off the waiver wire if you can snag him. The Niners’ wideout is fresh off hauling in four receptions for 73 yards and a touchdown and could continue to deliver those kinds of numbers as San Fran is banged up at the position.
Quentin Johnston
The Chargers’ second-year wide receiver has delivered a touchdown in each of the past two weeks including the eye-popping 118 yards he posted on November 3. Acquiring him off the waiver wire would be wise.
