Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 11 (Roster percentages based on standard ESPN Leagues)


QB

Tua Tagovailoa (Dolphins)- Since assuming the starting position, Tagovailoa has created a spark for this Dolphins team. His ability to move and extend plays, along with his decision making skills make this Dolphins offense a place to obtain assets. Tagovailoa has shown a willingness to spread the ball around to a number of targets, as was seen this past week with Jakeem Grant catching a touchdown in the redzone. Rostered in 45.20% of leagues.


RBs

Salvon Ahmed (Dolphins)- After getting his feet wet in week 9, Ahmed was heavily featured this week as he got 21 touches. The Dolphins decided to sit a number of backs, and after this most recent performance cut Jordan Howard. Ahmed’s 21 carries for 85 yards and a TD showed that this kid has what it takes to be the lead back. Plus, in Week 11 Ahmed gets a Broncos team that has let up 930 rushing yards and 7 TDs to RBs. This could be the Dolphins new starter. Rostered in 12.90% of leagues.


Wayne Gallman (Giants)- With Devonta Freeman back on IR the main role is completely Gallman’s and he doesn’t look like he will be giving it back anytime soon. Against a stout Eagles defense Gallman ran for 53 yards and 2 TDs. This week he has a bye, which may cause people to wait until next week to snag him, but I say DO IT! (Insert Shia LaBeouf meme). For those in need of RB go after this man. Rostered in 48.40% of leagues.


Kalen Ballage (Chargers)- Who would’ve thought that a bust for the Dolphins could be a stud in LA? Well that is exactly what Ballage has done. Let me put this into perspective as well, there have only been 3, count them, 3, other RBs to out touch Ballage in the past two weeks. These RBs are Dalvin Cook, Derrick Henry, and James Robinson. Although this won’t last long because Austin Ekeler will be returning around Week 13-14, there are a few good weeks left to utilize Ballage. The Chargers get the Jets who are ranked 26th this week. Rostered in 48.00% of leagues.


WRs

Cole Beasley (Bills)- So I will say this again, Beasley is a must start in PPR leagues. But, he isn’t a slot guy that catches 10 passes for 40 yards, he’s a true WR. While matched up against Patrick Peterson, Beasley didn’t shy away. What he did was completely embarrass Peterson on a crossing route that resulted in a TD. With his season stats looking pretty consistent people have overlooked him, but that needs to end. Beasley has gained the trust of Allen and his target share definitely speaks to that.  Rostered in 58.9% of leagues.


Jakobi Meyers (Patriots)- Since the Patriots found out that it’s not illegal to throw the ball, Meyers has seen targets and has had an impact on this offense. Over the past 4 weeks Meyers has seen 37 targets, and he has provided plenty of yards although he has yet to score. With the amount of targets and yards he provides it is something fantasy teams should be pursuing. Rostered in 38.00% of leagues.


Michael Pittman Jr. (Colts)- I discussed Pittman Jr. in an earlier post on September 22, and stated that he could be inline to be a prominent option for this Colts offense. Sure enough, after he returned that is exactly what he did. Pittman was targeted 8 times and caught 7 for 101 yards. With Pittman getting more targets than TY Hilton it looks like the former will be the better option. Rostered in 6.80% of leagues.


TEs

Jordan Reed (49ers)- With George Kittle is on IR and Reed back playing this is a pick up for those that need TE help. The 49ers have been a team that heavily features the TE. When Reed is healthy he can be a nightmare for other teams to defend, and we have seen this back in Week 2 when he caught 7 of 8 targets for 50 yards and 2 TDs, and this past week when he caught 5 of 6 passes for 62 yards. With the QB looking his way there should be points. However, hold off on this claim because the 49ers are on bye week.  Rostered in 23.80% of leagues.


Logan Thomas (Washington Football Team)- When looking for a TE teams should be targeting players that are heavily involved in an offensive gameplay. With the Washington Football Team utilizing their TE Thomas this should be a target. Thomas has seen 6 targets in the last two weeks, and this trend should continue, while also having two favorable matchups upcoming. Rostered in 30.10% of leagues.


D/ST

Dolphins- Is it weird that there have been multiple Dolphins players in a post? Anyhow, this defense has had some surprising outings. I think not only this week should be a good matchup, but next week they get the Broncos who have provided plenty of turnovers, plus they get a poor Jets team the following week. Just a nice little streaming option here. Rostered in 48.50% of leagues.


Sleepers

Rex Burkhead (Patriots)- As I stated earlier, the Patriots are now passing the ball. With the team  passing more Burkhead should see an increase in play and become even more fantasy relevant. Burkhead won’t provide you much in rushing yards but, if you are in a PPR league he will catch passes. Rostered in 32.20% of leagues.


Marquez Valdes-Scantling (Packers)- It looks like the Packers may have found their field stretching player, finally. MVS has the speed that the team has needed for quite some time and now it looks like he may be catching passes. With Davante Adams seeing tough coverages, as is to be expected, and hopefully the Lizard King Allen Lazard returning, we could see MVS be the home run hitter. MVS looks to be one of the boom-or-bust plays, similar to the Cardinals Christian Kirk. If you like taking chances MVS could be the WR for you. Rostered in 13.30% of leagues.

All aboard the Wentz-Wagon?

Week 8 Loves & Hates Loves QBs Carson Wentz (Eagles)- The number 7 QB this season is Wentz , who gets a Cowboys team that has been beaten up in recent weeks. No matter who Wentz has had to throw to this season, all he has done is put up big numbers. Through all the injuries to the wide receivers, running backs, and tight ends, Wentz has been able to cover up the Eagle’s deficiencies. The Cowboys have one of the worst defenses in the NFL across the board. The Cowboys are 23rd against QBs, 24th for RBs, 25th for WRs, and 23rd for TEs. These rankings paint a picture of a defense that can be shredded. Further, the Cowboys have allowed on average 20.71 points to QBs. With Travis Fulgham being a steady contributor, the two should be able to tear apart the Cowboys defense.   Dereck Carr (Raiders)- This game against the Browns has the makings to be a high scoring affair. Both defenses are poor when it comes to defending opposing QBs and WRs. The Browns last week were in a shootout...

That’s the way we became the BRADY BUNCH!

Week 9 Loves & Hates Loves QBs Tom Brady (Buccaneers)- Brady gets one of the easier matchups this week when he goes up against the Saints. This season Brady ranks as the 5th QB, he has put up solid numbers all season, with the exception of the Panthers game in Week 2. Getting back to the game this week, the Saints put up little challenge to QBs (27th), WRs (23rd), and TEs (30th). The Saints defense has been thrown on this season, and with strong WRs, and TEs on the Buccaneers, Brady should be able to put up another big performance. Plus you should be looking to stack Brady with either Mike Evans or Rob Gronkowski .   Josh Allen (Bills)- Allen gets one of the best matchups anyone could ask for this week. He gets a Seahawks team that doesn’t know how to stop, or even slow down the pass. The Seahawks are ranked 31st against QBs, and have allowed 25.40 points. The stats that the Seahawks have allowed this season for QBs is shocking for the once fabled Legion of Boom. They h...

Hail to the King

Week 14 Loves & Hates Loves QBs Ryan Tannehill (Titans)- After putting up 389 passing yards, 3 TDs, and 1 Int, against a decent Browns defense, this week against the Jaguars should be just as good. The Jaguars have been at the bottom of the league all year when it comes to defending QBs and over the last four weeks, not much has changed. In this time the Jags have allowed the second most passing yards, 1,155, while also giving up the most passing TDs in this span. Although with A.J. Brown banged up, most of the passing game could go through Corey Davis . Ben Roethlisberger (Steelers)- This should be a decent bounce back game for the Steelers if the weather cooperates. After a tough game against the Washington Football Team, which is one of the better defenses against the pass, to get the Bills is a gift. As of recently, the Bill have allowed on average 22.33 fantasy to QBs with a 64% completion rate, 877 passing yards and 5 TDs. A big bulk of this increase are the 2 rushing TDs ...
