Russell Wilson, Audric Estime, and Jalen Coker highlight the best waiver wire targets in fantasy football entering Week 11.
Welcome to Week 11 Waiver Wire Watch! Consider filing a waiver for the following players in your fantasy football league (available in at least 50% of ESPN leagues).
Russell Wilson, QB; pittsburgh steelers
Mr. Unlimited scored three points in two of his first three games as Pittsburgh's starter. In addition to the addition of Mike Williams (who scored the game-winning touchdown on Sunday and is worthy of consideration for waivers in his own right) at the trade deadline, there are also games on the road. ravens, browns, bengalsand with the Browns back on deck (all ranking in the bottom 11 in fantasy points allowed per game) Wilson is a strong streaming option at quarterback.
Audric Estime, RB; denver broncos
The 147th overall pick was noticed by Sean Payton during the week and delivered in a big way on Sunday. Estime took over as Denver's lead rusher and set career highs in carries (14) and yards (53) against a stingy opponent. chiefs This suggests we may continue to see double-digit touches in Payton's offense. This week's cover athlete, Estime, was a darling of the analytics world coming out of Notre Dame due to his underrated explosive power coupled with his formidable size. He is also unusual in that he remains available in most fantasy leagues despite potentially being a real factor for the Broncos down the road.
Khalil Herbert, RB; cincinnati bengals
Herbert was listed in this column two weeks ago in case he was traded, but he was actually sent to Cincinnati for a seventh-round pick. Herbert will lead all backs in yards per carry in 2022, and his career average of 4.8 yards ranks eighth among the 70 active backs (with at least 300 yards per carry). There's no guarantee he'll have a role with the Bengals, but the opportunity is in front of him with Zack Moss on injured reserve.
Jalen Coker, WR; carolina panthers
Coker will now receive treatment from Josh Downs. In other words, he will be listed in this column every week until he no longer meets the league's availability criteria. The undrafted rookie out of Holy Cross had twice as many goals as any other wideout in Carolina on Sunday. He currently ranks first among his fellow Panthers and third among rookies in yards per reception. This is a legitimate NFL player who deserves to be on your fantasy roster.
Ricky Pearsall, WR; san francisco 49ers
Pearsall scored after miraculously surviving a gunshot wound in August. his first NFL touchdown on an impressive 46-yard catch-and-run. He has impressed in the press as a route runner and as a physical blocker in the run game, which has helped erase pre-draft size concerns (he weighs 189 pounds) and is a great addition to San Francisco's burgeoning offense. The role of the government has been solidified. Sure, there are plenty of other mouths to feed, but Pearsall's combination of pedigree, athleticism, and opportunity is too good to ignore.
Marquez Valdes-Scantling, WR; new orleans saints
MVS took advantage of a Saints receiver room full of injuries and produced Moss-like numbers on Sunday: three targets, three catches, 109 yards and two touchdowns (all in the second quarter). We shouldn't expect a performance like this to be repeated, especially from a player who has eclipsed 50 yards just once since 2022, but Derek Carr has looked like a personal mission from Jesus this season. He's throwing a deep ball as if he were. Valdes-Scantling probably won't be the worst dart throw for a desperate fantasy manager going forward.
Will Disley, TE; Los Angeles Chargers
After Hayden Hurst went down in Week 6, the former defensive end became LA's starter and remained in that role when Hurst returned two games later. Dissly ranks fourth among tight ends in targets in the past month (27) and has not caught a touchdown this season, but has four red zone targets in the past four games. Earned times. Justin Herbert is hot, so consider adding Dissly soon.
houston texans Defense/Special Teams
There was only one D/ST in this column this season, and it was…you guessed it, Houston. The Texans D/ST is available in most fantasy leagues. lions But after forcing Jared Goff to five (!) interceptions, DeMeco Ryans' unit is set up nicely over the next few weeks. Texans don't have Dak Prescott cowboysled by Will Levis. titansand without Trevor Lawrence jaguars on deck.
