Week 11 Waiver Targets
Waiver Targets
The South Harmon Agency has more high-tier operatives gathering intel than ever before. Be sure to keep your channel open and collect data from the various sources as it comes in. In terms of FAAB bidding, review your league’s previous waiver behavior to navigate the wire best. The waiver wire will become more bare as the season continues, especially in best ball formats.
ReDraft (most of these players will be rostered in Dynasty leagues)
Mike Williams - 20% rostership, spend 18-20% FAAB (The Steelers rarely trade for WRs, but Williams’ skillset is exactly what Pittsburgh has been looking to pair with Pickens. Now the team has two of the best big-play X-receivers in the NFL that can scream down the perimeter of the field and high-point the signature moon-shots of Russell Wilson. Williams’ arrival couldn’t come at a better time with the health of Najee Harris’ ankle being up in the air, the team could become pass-heavy over the next few weeks.)
Audric Estime - 7% rostership, 15-18% FAAB (One of the most shocking splits from week 10 was the 14 rush attempts and 45% snap share that Estime received compared to the 1 attempt and 29% share that Javonte had. In a limited sample, Estime has been more efficient than Javonte, and with Williams in the last year of his contract, this game may be a sign of the end for Javonte in Denver. Audric was one of our favorite RBs in this year’s class and needs to be owned.)
John Metchie - 3% rostership, spend 15-18% FAAB (A potential trade candidate earlier in the season for his preseason performance, the Texans were wise to hold onto Metchie following injuries to Nico and Diggs. With defenses focusing on Tank Dell, Metchie was the top Texans receiver with 5/6 for 74 yards and 1 TD. With no guarantee that Nico won’t miss more games and the Texans looking for answers on offense, don’t be surprised to see Metchie continue to produce down the stretch.)
Gus Edwards - 19% rostership, spend 8-10% FAAB (Continually dismissed as an antiquated RB, Gus in his first game back from injury led the Chargers in rushing with an efficient 10 carries for 55 yards. Edwards has a nose for the endzone and could serve as a decent FLEX option if he can stay healthy and earn more touches on the ultra-efficient LA offense.)
Dawson Knox - 4% rostership, 3-5% FAAB (The Bills are reeling with injuries at receiver. Amari and Keon missed week 10 with injuries and now Dalton Kincaid is dealing with a knee injury. Knox has chemistry with Josh Allen and could serve as the #2 pass-catcher behind Shakir if their other top pass-catchers miss time.)
Dynasty
Marquez Valdes-Scantling/Tylan Wallace - 20% & 1% rostership, 0-2% FAAB in Best Ball (Welcome to week 11, where MVS and Tylan Wallace lead the list of dynasty pickups in the wasteland waiver wire. Do not spend any FAAB chasing the week 10 performances of these players, who both enjoyed the best games of their careers. The Saints have no one to throw to on offense outside of Kamara, so MVS could enjoy a few more decent games in 2024. The Ravens have a crowded receiver room and will likely never utilize Wallace like they did in week 10. You are praying for long TD receptions to these players in Best Ball formats only.)
