Week 11 Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Targets: Likely Available (Under 50% owned)
Rhamondre Stevenson, NE- RB (32%)
The fourth-round pick out of Oklahoma has over 30 rush attempts in the last two games as well as about 200 yards in those two games. Stevenson is beginning to look like a core piece of the New England offense that blew out the Browns 45-7 on Sunday. Stevenson can be picked up in leagues with potential weekly RB2 upside.
Dan Arnold, JAX- TE (26%)
In the last three weeks, Arnold has caught 17 of his 24 targets and has consistently been in the 60s range for yardage. Although in the questionable Jaguars offense, Arnold can still be used as a viable tight end option. With games against the Falcons, Titans, Texans, and Jets to close out the season, Arnold should be picked up by owners looking to make a playoff push but still need a tight end.
Darnell Mooney, CHI- WR (45%)
Going into the bye week, Mooney was a central piece of the Bears offense with rookie Justin Fields under center. We can expect this to continue even with David Montgomery returning since Herbert had just the same usage. After a week of rest to fully recover from his groin injury, Mooney is primed for a strong second half of the year.
Marcus Johnson, TEN- WR (1%)
Julio Jones will not be returning to the football field until at least Week 14 due to his landing on the IR and the Titans’ bye week. Marcus Johnson has filled in for the future hall of fame receiver and did not disappoint. Of his 5 catches, Johnson recorded 100 yards. If this keeps up, Johnson would be a valuable player to own in fantasy.
Ty Johnson, NYJ- RB (19%)
Ty Johnson is certainly not anything special in the running game, however, his use in the passing game is definitely worthwhile. In his last 4 games, Johnson has averaged 6 targets and is coming up on a streak of weak opposing defenses. Despite underperforming in Week 10, Johnson can be picked up as a depth player.
Cam Newton, CAR- QB (16%)
In the words of Cam Newton himself, he’s “BAAAACK!”. In his limited return to Carolina, Cam was involved in 7 total plays, on which he scored twice and was 3 for 4 passing with 14 yards on the ground. As the lone QB on this week’s list, Cam can be picked up and used for bye week holes or injury plug and plays.
Wayne Gallman, ATL- RB (1%)
Wayne Gallman, also known as the Saquon Savior of 2020, has finally returned to relevance. Following an extremely quiet start to 2021, Cordarrelle Patterson is expected to miss multiple weeks and Gallman had his first 15 touch game since last season. Gallman could very well be worth the stash in case he continues to out-touch Mike Davis.
Week 11 Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Targets: Worth a Look (Over 50% owned)
A.J. Dillon, GB- RB (72%)
The past 2 weeks have been 2 of AJ Dillon’s best weeks of the season. Packers star RB Aaron Jones is likely to miss a couple weeks with an MCL sprain, paving the way for Dillon to continue his streak of good performances. With Jones exiting in the 3rd quarter, Dillon logged 23 total touches on Sunday and is expected to eat up all of Jones’ regular usage next week against the Vikings. If still available in your league, Dillon is a priority pickup and is a rock-solid RB2 for the next game or two.
Elijah Moore, NYJ- WR (51%)
Elijah Moore just barely scratched into the “worth a look” section at 51%. Moore has at least 6 targets in six games so far on the year and now has four straight productive weeks. There isn’t much else to be said about Moore’s production as it has been consistently at the WR2 range. The only thing in question about Moore’s fantasy future is the revolving door of quarterbacks for the Jets this season, but Moore does have several high-upside matchups coming up to finish the season.
Mark Ingram II, NO- RB (71%)
In the presence of Alvin Kamara, Mark Ingram’s return to New Orleans has been okay, but worth rostering as depth. In the absence of Kamara however, Ingram’s value is significantly bumped up. Even if Kamara returns for Week 11, he may be limited and Ingram could still be valuable. No matter what happens with Kamara, Ingram is worth the roster spot.
