Fantasy Football Week 11 Waiver Targets

The Fantasy playoff push is in full swing as three weeks remain on the season schedule. The pool of players is starting to get thin on the waiver, but let’s see if we can find some value. Here are the best Week 11 wavier targets. Good luck.

Quarterbacks:

Eli Manning (NYG)

Bye weeks still could hinder your starting QB situation this week and the savor may be Eli. Owned in 50% of leagues and going up against the Chiefs who allow the most to fantasy throwers this season, Manning could provide a decent game for you to get through. The potential exists for Eli to provide garbage time points as the Giants season is a wrap and they will be playing out the string.

Jay Cutler (MIA)

Owned in 18% of leagues and facing the Tampa Bay Bucs who give up the 11^th most to fantasy QBs this season, Jay should have no issue generating his 13-18 points this week. With a new found running game and the potential for garbage time points, Cutler could get you through the bye week.

Running Backs:

Austin Ekeler (LAC) (PPR)

Ekeler has become the go to for Philip Rivers as his main check down on passing downs. Owned in 5% of leagues he does possess value in PPR formats. This week he has a great matchup vs the Bills who now give up the 2^nd most points to fantasy runners. Rivers has been most successful in his career when he has a capable RB that can catch out of the back field, they may have found a solid weapon in Ekeler. Might be a stretch in standard leagues, but should be owned in PPR.

Samaje Perine (WAS)

Perine again has been thrown into a starting position for the Redskins as Rob Kelley is out and possibly will be sent to IR. Owned in only 8% of leagues Perine has another opportunity prove he can hold onto the ball and support Chris Thompson in the back field. He should see a lot of action as the primary goal line back so long as he can hold onto the ball.   

Jamaal Williams (GB)

Williams may be the most attractive back to pick up this week as starter Jones went down with an injury and Montgomery is far from healthy. Owned in 8% of leagues you should have no issue snagging Jamaal off the wire. Playing the Ravens who are middle of the pack in giving up points to runners, Williams may be leaned on to carry the load.   

Wide Receivers:

Dede Westbrook (JAX)

Yet again Dede has been patiently waiting for his opportunity to be activated from IR and see his first action of the regular season. With the injury to Allen Hurns, and the word coming out that he won’t play this week, opens the door to see Dede suit up. Owned in only 20% of leagues he is a must add and watch to see what kind of production he will provide. More than likely he is a bench stash at this point but could provide great value during the playoffs.  

Taylor Gabriel (ATL) (PPR)

Gabriel has been hit and miss this season, but it’s very clear when the Falcons succeed on offense Taylor has had a big impact. Playing the Seahawks who give up the 16^th most to fantasy WRs and now without Richard Sherman that number could increase. Owned in 13 % of leagues he is poised to have a decent game. Earl Thomas is expected to return to the lineup and should aid in double covering Julio Jones leaving Taylor open to run free on Sunday. Definitely worth a look in PPR formats.  

Dontrelle Inman (CHI)

Speculative add this week goes to Dontrelle Inman of the Chicago Bears. Owned in 2% of leagues he saw a nice 8 targets last week hauling in 6 for 88 yards. The Bears have no real viable number one wide receiver to speak of, and Mitchell Trubisky seems to have gained the trust of the coaching staff to allow him to air the ball out a little more. Still very difficult to trust as the Bears offense is dictated and driven by the run game. Inman has placed himself in the bench stash category.

Mike Wallace (BAL)

Wallace and the Ravens haven’t been anything to praise in the passing game this season, however, Wallace should be able to produce this week vs the Packers who give up the 5^th most to WRs. Owned in 24% of leagues and coming off the bye with a favorable matchup all signs point to Wallace having a decent day if you’re stuck. He always possesses a boom or bust potential but has a high ceiling for finding the endzone.

Tight Ends:

Martellus Bennett (NE)

Usually change of scenery helps those increase productivity, in Bennett’s case it’s the old stomping grounds. Owned in 34% of leagues Bennett has once again found a role in the Patriots offense that will provide fantasy owners with better value than he gave in Green Bay. Playing the Raiders this week who give up the 6^th most to fantasy TE’s, we could see both Bennett & Gronkowski find pay dirt in week 11. Martellus may be a main stay in your lineup helping you for the playoffs. He is a definite must add.   

Jermaine Gresham (ARZ)

Gresham has definitely picked up steam these last few weeks with the absence of Carson Palmer. Typically with inexperienced and/or not so efficient quarterbacks, the first check down for a reliable target is the tight end. With Drew Stanton and now possibly Blaine Gabbert replacing Stanton due to injury, we could see another 7 targets + to the Cardinals TE. Gresham has an A+ matchup vs the Houston Texans who give up the 7^th most to the position. He could be a huge help to your squad down the stretch.
