Waiver Wire Watchlist for Week 11: QB
Daniel Jones, Giants vs. Lions in Week 11 (52%)
Jones has flourished under Giants head coach and former Bills offensive coordinator Brian Daboll, and the G-Men are 6-2.
Jones didn’t do much fantasy-wise in his last game, with Seattle’s defense stepping up yet again, but a home game against the Lions in Week 11 looks as juicy as a rare rib-eye.
This season, Detroit has given up the fifth-most passing yards and the third-most standard fantasy points to quarterbacks.
Get Jones now before he faces the Texans this weekend.
Marcus Mariota, Falcons vs. Bears in Week 11 (34%)
Mariota has had a fantastic season, turned back the clock and helping the Falcons compete for the NFC South.
He should be fine against a Chicago defense that has given up 544 yards and five passing touchdowns in the last two weeks.
If you own Tua, TB12, T-Law, or Papa Geno, you could do a lot worse for a sub than Saint Marcus.
Case Keenum, Bills (3 percent rostered)
The status of Josh Allen’s elbow has been the biggest mystery out of Buffalo this week.
Is it an irritation, a strain, or a full sprain? Will he play despite not having practiced? What if he aggravates or worsens it this weekend against a competent Vikings pass rush?
Look, Allen owners, in particular, should cover their bases and add Keenum in case Allen misses any time at all.
Keenum has proven himself as a capable NFL quarterback in far less capable offenses than the Bills’. If he starts, especially against the Lions, Jets, and Dolphins in Weeks 12, 14, and 15, he’ll be a top-10 quarterback.
Remember that insurance is always less expensive before you need it.
Waiver Wire Watchlist for Week 11: RB
Gus Edwards, Ravens (48 percent rostered)
Kenyan Drake stole the show on Monday Night Football earlier this week, propelling him to 65 percent of the roster, but when Edwards is healthy (and JK Dobbins isn’t), he’s John Harbaugh’s man.
The Ravens are on bye this week, so see if a disgruntled owner with no open IR spots dropped Gus Bus.
He’s still listed as “O” on Yahoo, so keep him on your IR and reap the benefits of Week 12 and 13 matchups with Carolina and Jacksonville.
Rachaad White, Buccaneers (38%)
We’ve been saying all year that White’s time would come, and it would seem that time has finally arrived.
According to The Athletic’s Gary Auman, “the momentum will likely be with” White at the end of the season, implying that the rookie could eventually leapfrog veteran bruiser Leonard Fournette.
Don’t think about streaming White anytime soon, but he’s probably more worthy of a roster spot than the majority of players on fantasy rosters’ backends.
Jaylen Warren, Steelers (16%)
According to Pro Football Talk’s Mike Florio, here’s another player who could easily see a larger role.
Warren showed off his rushing prowess in the preseason and has shown glimpses of it this season when filling in for Steelers RB1 Najee Harris.
If Warren’s usage does increase — or if anything happens to Harris — Warren immediately enters flex territory at worst.
Waiver Wire Watchlist for Week 11: WR
Michael Gallup, Cowboys at Vikings Week 11 (40 percent rostered)
With the stud receiver tandems of the Dolphins, Buccaneers, and Seahawks all on bye next week, you should start planning your Week 11 wideout streams now.
Gallup has had a good rapport with Dak Prescott over the last few seasons, and he should be closer to 100 percent after the Cowboys’ Week 9 bye.
Gallup’s trip to Minnesota should result in plenty of scoring, so consider him one of the better streams on next week’s schedule.
Terrace Marshall Jr., Panthers at Ravens Week 11 (18%)
TMJ is still napping in the fantasy world (if his nickname isn’t Lockjaw by next week, we’re all failing at life).
Marshall, who we highlighted last week when he was four percent rostered, has produced double-digit half-PPR points in each of Carolina’s last two games, and he faces the Falcons and Ravens in Weeks 10 and 11, respectively.
Grab this guy before he continues to improve and his presence on the waiver wire fades into obscurity.
Samori Toure, Packers vs. Titans Week 11 (0%)
We’re calling your bluff, Yahoo. There’s no way Toure isn’t on the roster. Aaron Rodgers, Toure, and a small community of Cheesehead Nation likely own him.
I have complete control over him. But I’m digressing. Rodgers has admired Toure since he made a great improvised move at the end of a route that resulted in a touchdown against Buffalo.
Now that fellow rookies Romeo Doubs (ankle) and Christian Watson (head) are injured, Rodgers simply needs targets.
Stockpile him now, and if Rodgers looks his way a lot this weekend, he could pay off big next week against a weak Titans secondary.
Waiver Wire Watchlist for Week 11: TE
Robert Tonyan, Packers vs. Titans (50%)
Tonyan squeaked into the column by being owned in exactly 50% of leagues. He’s a great streamer for Week 11, when Mike Gesicki, Evan Engram, Cade Otten, Noah Fant, and Will Dissly are all on bye.
The Titans have a pass defense as good as Ted Cruz, and the Packers have a depleted receiving corps. Tonyan could resurface as a volume pass-catcher with red-zone appeal.
Isaiah Likely, Ravens (23%)
He has a bye in Week 10 and is unlikely to be a Week 11 streamer against Carolina, but if Mark Andrews’ multiple injuries worsen, Likely will be a TE1 by proxy.
The rookie tight end has scored touchdowns in each of the last two weeks and clearly connects with Lamar Jackson. I’ve hidden him wherever I could find him.
Defense Streamers and Sleepers for Week 11
Denver Broncos vs. Raiders (52%)
How did Denver get to 52% ownership? This defense is incredible, allowing the fewest passing yards in the NFL and regularly suffocating average to below-average quarterbacks (you, Derek Carr, fall into that category).
Start them in Week 11 against an inconsistent Vegas offense, and don’t worry about Davante Adams — Pat Surtain is here to help.
Cincinnati Bengals at Steelers (43 percent rostered)
Kenny Pickett makes numerous errors, and Pittsburgh’s offensive line is atrocious. In Week 11, expect sacks and turnovers from the Bengals.
Washington Commanders @ Texans (4%)
Davis Mills had enough trouble establishing Houston’s passing game before Brandin Cooks became irritated — what is he going to do now?
The Texans’ only bright spot is rookie running back Dameon Pierce.
Washington should be able to devise a strategy to at the very least contain the young bruiser and force Mills into numerous forced passes This is especially true if Chase Young (knee) returns.
