Fantasy Football Week 11 Waiver Wire Targets feat. Cedric Tillman, Audric Estime, and more.
The waiver wire can be an excellent tool for optimizing your weekly fantasy football lineups. The primary goal is to utilize your bench spots to put your team in the best possible position to maximize each week's point total.
As we're reaching into the final stages of the fantasy season, we should ensure our rosters have dependable depth we can pivot to if we experience injuries to our fantasy stars. Managers should be proactive and add the highest implied value running backs available while searching for pass catchers with new roles.
At Sportskeeda, we'll list our top-10 players to prioritize while featuring the best options in each position to assist you with your waiver wire decisions and FAAB allocation before Week 11. We cast a wide net of potential targets as we consider all players under a 70% ownership threshold on popular platforms like ESPN and Yahoo! Sports.
Week 11 Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Priority Adds Ranked
Top Fantasy Football Week 11 Waiver Wire Pickups
Waiver Wire RB adds for Week 11
1] Audric Estime, Denver Broncos
ESPN 1% | Yahoo! 3% | FAAB Range 10-20%
For fantasy purposes, there's not one running back to start in this Denver backfield right now. But that doesn't mean we can't be proactive and add a potential starter in rookie Audric Estime. The Broncos turned to the 21-year-old back last Sunday against a formidable rush defense in divisional rival Kansas City. Estime led the Broncos' backfield with 14 touches and 53 scoreless yards in the 16-14 loss to the Chiefs. Before Sunday the rookie had a season-high of 10% of the offensive snaps but last week his usage increased to a team-high 45% for running backs. Estime debuted on our list before Week 10 and will quickly jump up the ranks to our No. 1 running back for Week 11. Even though he won't be startable just yet we recommend spending at least 10% of your remaining FAAB and it could cost upward to 20% to win the claim with the position slim with options.
2] Jaylen Warren, Pittsburgh Steelers
ESPN 62% | Yahoo! 51% | FAAB Range 10-20%
Jaylen Warren made our priority list for running backs before Week 10 action and he proved once again he's healthy last Sunday. Warren still supported starter Najee Harris but had an impressive 16 touches in the 28-27 win over the first-place Commanders. Warren caught both of targets for 29 receiving yards and has at least two catches in every game but one this season. Warren impact was felt with his explosive runs of 12 and 10 yards and a reception that went for 26 yards. Fantasy managers would still like to see him get some more high-value opportunities in the red zone has Harris has dominated that role in this Pittsburgh offense. Harris unsurprisingly leads the team with 31 red zone carries to Warren's 9. So we'll have to depend on scrimmage yards on most weeks but Warren should be rostered in case something would happen to Harris down the stretch of the fantasy season. He would be an instant RB2 and an every week fantasy starter if that would to happen.
3] Cam Akers, Minnesota Vikings
ESPN 16% | Yahoo! 14% | FAAB Range 3-5%
For the second time this season, veteran Aaron Jones was knocked out of a game due to injury for Minnesota. This time, Jones left for what we know now as a rib injury after taking a shot to that area during the 12-7 win over Jacksonville last Sunday. Even though Jones returned the game there may be a chance he misses next week against Tennessee which could leave vacated touches for newly acquired Cam Akers. Akers was traded to Minnesota on October 15th, debuted for the Vikings in Week 9, and received nine touches out the gate. Filling in for Jones, Akers jumped to 14 touches but could only muster 48 scrimmage yards. We don't recommend breaking the bank on Akers with just 3-5% allocated FAAB to acquire him but he wouldn't be a bad backup plan in deeper leagues. Just keep an eye on Jones' status leading up to Friday's practice reports to predict Akers' potential usage against the Titans.
Waiver Wire WR adds for Week 11
1] Cedric Tillman, Cleveland Browns
ESPN 50% | Yahoo! 58% | FAAB Range 25-50%
Cedric Tillman was our No.1 priority add last week and it's still a bit of a shock to see him well under 70% ownership in ESPN and Yahoo! Sports leagues. He seems to be widely available despite being in a viable spot for targets in the reshaped Browns offense. Tillman is still the only wideout to score a receiving touchdown since the trade of Pro Bowl receiver Amari Cooper to Buffalo before Week 7. Tillman has turned in overall WR17, WR3, and WR11 since his promotion and could have slipped under the radar with a Week 10 bye week. This is a reminder to filter your waiver wire without projected points so Tillman doesn't slip through the cracks and should've been roster before Week 10 action. Tillman is once again our No. 1 priority if he's available in your league with at least 25% of your FAAB allocation and as high as 50%.
2] Jauan Jennings, San Francisco 49ers
ESPN 62% | Yahoo! 60% | FAAB Range 20-40%
I'm guessing this is the last week to write about Jauan Jennings. For three consecutive weeks we have had Jennings as one of our top priorities and he turned in very serviceable performance last Sunday. The veteran led the all 49ers pass catchers in targets (11), receptions (7), and receiving yards (93). It was the first time we saw most of the 49ers playmakers in the same game and it was very encouraging to see Jennings carve out a major role in this fantasy-friendly San Francisco offense. Especially considering San Francisco has stars in Christian McCaffrey, Deebo Samuel, and George Kittle for defenses to game plan against. There's really nothing else to say other than Jennings belongs on a roster in your league and hopefully you have been following along and got him weeks ago
Mike Williams, Pittsburgh Steelers
ESPN 25% | Yahoo! 18% | FAAB Range 5-10%
Mike Williams made his debut with the Steelers last Sunday and it was clear Pittsburgh wanted to ease him in to his new role. The veteran caught his only target of the game but it was one of the most impactful of the Steelers season so far. Williams' 32-yard fourth-quarter touchdown reception was the difference in the 28-27 victory over Washington. It's hard to recommend any player who ran only six routes but I expect Williams' role to expand in the coming weeks for a this contending Pittsburgh squad. Williams is widely available in ESPN and Yahoo! Sports leagues and should be on your radar heading into Week 11.
Waiver Wire TE adds for Week 11
1] Taysom Hill, New Orleans Saints
ESPN 35% | Yahoo! 54% | FAAB Range 4-7%
The fantasy unicorn has made several appearances on this priority list this season but with his recent surge he should stick on rosters ahead of Week 11. Since Week 8, Taysom Hill has received at least six touches as a runner and receiver and totaled 145 scrimmage yards in that span. With the New Orleans starved for playmakers, Hill should continue to factor in the game plan and was a holding penalty away from having a significant fantasy day. You just have to live with the days Hill doesn't produce in the box score. With the state of the tight end position, you might not have much choice but to turn to Hill and pray to the fantasy gods he falls into the end zone.
2] Will Dissly, Los Angeles Chargers
ESPN 2% | Yahoo! 2% | FAAB Range 1-3%
It's hard to find a tight end who is second in targets on any offense and so low-owned as veteran Will Dissly. Only Ladd McConkey (54) has received more targets from quarterback Justin Herbert than Dissly's 42. Dissly led all pass catchers in targets (6) and receptions (5) in the 27-17 win over the Titans. Dissly let an end zone target slip through him fingers on a brilliant throw by Herbert that could've led to more significant fantasy day. If Herbert continues to trust Dissly down the stretch than you might have a decent fantasy starter that doesn't require you to break the bank for. We're getting into the end game of the fantasy season so there's no reason to be frugal with your FAAB allocation. Still, you can get Dissly on your roster for 1-3%.
