Week 11 Waiver Wire Targets
Derek Carr (ESPN 37% Yahoo 45%)
Not only is Carr one of the top streaming options this week against the Bengals but he’s also a solid ROS addition. After this Sunday he gets the Jets, then Chiefs. His 14:4 TD to INT ratio is very solid and he’s outperformed most experts projections.
Other options
Sam Darnold, Ryan Tannehill
Brian Hill (ESPN 1% Yahoo 5%)
Hill was handed a huge workload when Devonta Freeman exited last Sunday’s game with an ankle injury. Hill carried the ball 20 times on 61 yards. Freemans week 11 status is up in the air so if you are a Freeman owner or have rbs on bye, this might be one of your best available adds.
J.D. Mckissic (ESPN 16% Yahoo 21%)
The Lions RB situation has been a mess. A lot has happened poorly for the Detroit running game but nevertheless we are here where J.D. looks to be the lead back this Sunday. Ty Johnson’s concussion could keep him out for some time so Mckissic and possibly Paul Perkins could enjoy success. McKissic is worth a look especially in PPR formats due to his pass catching abilities.
Derrius Guice (ESPN 38% Yahoo 37%)
I hope this young back can finally stay healthy and show us his true talents. Guice is returning from injury but his role moving forward this year remains to be seen. In my eyes, Guice should be on the field but it will be in a limited role. Guice is part of the redskins future plans as Peterson is not. If you have room on your bench put in a claim.
Other options
Alexander Mattison, Darrell Henderson, Peyton Barber
Darius Slayton (ESPN 13% Yahoo 10%)
Slayton has been a great contributor for the Giants when called upon. With no Engram or Shepard, Slayton was targeted 14 times on 10 receptions with 2 TDs. Slayton has a bye this week but if Shepard remains out with concussion symptoms, Slayton should 100% be rostered.
Demaryius Thomas (ESPN 4% Yahoo 8%)
Quite surprised with Thomas as I felt he would be of no value to the Jets this year. Coming off a 6 catch 84 yard performance, DT is the second New York WR on our waiver wire targets. Darnold continues to target Thomas which is great moving forward against some not so great pass defenses. He’s a solid flex play this week and should be one of your top receivers available on the wire.
Dede Westbrook (ESPN 59% Yahoo 57%)
2019 was suppose to be Westbrook’s huge year but that hasn’t happened…yet. Foles and Westbrook clearly had some chemistry but a broken clavicle to the QB shattered his WR1 projections and led to Minshew Mania/DJ Shark. With Foles set to return week 11, let’s give Westbrook a little boost and hope that he can bring us to his original projections.
Other options
Diontae Johnson, Cole Beasley, Mecole Hardman
OJ Howard (ESPN 45% Yahoo 40%)
Howard is one of the biggest fantasy busts this season but Sundays 4 catch and TD performance gave us a little hope. After missing the last 2 games due to a hamstring injury, maybe Howard needed that time not only physically but mentally. As much of a disappointment he’s been, he has to be one of the top tight end options out there.
Other options
Kyle Rudolph, Jacob Hollister, Dallas Goedert (ROS)
