Best Fantasy Football waiver wire pickups for Week 11
After the 10th full slate of regular season action, the NFL and fantasy football are in the midst of their years.
If you had a tough injury in Week 10, you just didn’t get the production from one of your players that you expected or you have a player on bye, we’ll scan the waiver wire. For potential pickups, we’ll consider players who are available in at least 50% of ESPN fantasy leagues.
Let’s take a look at some of the potential waiver wire pickups that could help your teams heading into Week 11 of the NFL campaign.
Josh Dobbs, QB, Minnesota Vikings (38.9%)
Since arriving in Minnesota, Dobbs has been quickly thrust into action. In two weeks, he’s recorded 50 fantasy points. That type of production would make him the top fantasy option for the season if it was extrapolated out.
While Dobbs is likely due for a regression, he has better weapons with the Vikings than he did with the Arizona Cardinals, and he’ll be getting arguably the best wide receiver in football in Justin Jefferson back from injured reserve. That’s at least worth a flier.
Keaton Mitchell, RB, Baltimore Ravens
Since J.K. Dobbins tore his Achilles in the season opener, Gus Edwards and Justice Hill have been serving as Baltimore’s top two backs, but Mitchell is making some waves in recent weeks.
The undrafted rookie has put up 34 fantasy points over the last two weeks despite only getting total touches. His explosive running style may lead to him getting a larger share of the work load, and there’s always a chance that Edwards misses some time down the stretch.
Romeo Doubs, WR, Green Bay Packers (39.7%)
The Packers haven’t been the best offense in the league, but Doubs has been their most consistent weapon, as he’s averaging 11.5 fantasy points per game.
Going against the Los Angeles Chargers, who have had one of the worst secondaries in the league this season, Doubs could have a strong day.
Tyler Conklin, TE, Jets (11.1%)
12.6 and 14 points over the last two weeks have made Conklin one of fantasy’s best tight ends recently. In an offense that isn’t exactly taking the league by storm, Conklin has provided quarterback Zach Wilson with a bit of a safety blanket, as he’s been targeted 42 times this season, which is second to only Garrett Wilson on the team.
Vikings, D/ST (23.9%)
The Vikings have had the eighth-best defense in fantasy this season, as they’ve averaged 7.7 points per game.
In Week 11, they’re set to take on the Denver Broncos, who allow 8.2 to opposing defenses, including 18 to the Jets in Week 5, 16 to the Chiefs in Week 6 and 12 to the Chiefs again in Week 8.
