Waiver wire decisions in fantasy football can be intense, especially in deeper leagues.

This week, we present nine valuable waiver wire targets to consider for Week 11, aimed at assisting teams in deeper leagues.

Top 9 Fantasy Football Waiver Pickups for Deep Leagues: Week 11

All players mentioned are rostered in under 25% of ESPN leagues, making them exceptional waiver wire options.

Quarterback Targets

Jacoby Brissett (QB – ARI): Rostered in 17.4%
Brissett has performed admirably in his four starts, averaging 279.5 passing yards and two touchdowns per game. His consistency yields 21.2 fantasy points on average, making him a reliable option as the Cardinals’ starting quarterback.
Marcus Mariota (QB – WSH): Rostered in 11.5%
With strong performances and an average of 16.6 fantasy points, Mariota provides solid value while Washington manages quarterback Jayden Daniels’ injury. Expect Mariota to show up in a potential high-scoring game against the Miami Dolphins.

Running Back Targets

Brian Robinson Jr. (RB – SF): Rostered in 21.2%
Robinson has seen increasing opportunities, securing two touchdowns and averaging 7.2 yards per attempt in recent games. His ascending role makes him a player to watch, particularly if Christian McCaffrey’s workload diminishes.
Emari Demercado (RB – ARI): Rostered in 18.5%
Demercado has become Arizona’s leading running back, averaging 11.1 PPR fantasy points since the team’s Week 8 bye. Despite potential competition from Trey Benson, he remains a valuable target against the 49ers.

Wide Receiver Targets

Jayden Higgins (WR – HOU): Rostered in 17.1%
With a recent uptick in performance, Higgins has been contributing well in the Texans’ offense. His averages of 3.3 receptions and a touchdown make him a prospect worth adding.
Adonai Mitchell (WR – NYJ): Rostered in 1.3%
Even being new to the team, Mitchell could emerge as a key option, especially following Garrett Wilson’s injury. He may quickly rise to the number two receiving spot in New York.
Mack Hollins (WR – NE): Rostered in 0.6%
Hollins demonstrated his talent in a recent game with 106 receiving yards, indicating that he could be a consistent contributor in the Patriots’ dynamic offense.

Tight End Targets

Darren Waller (TE – MIA): Rostered in 20.9%
Waller has been effective when healthy, averaging 15.2 PPR fantasy points per game. Though currently on IR, he will provide significant value upon returning to the lineup.
Tyler Conklin (TE – LAC): Rostered in 0.1%
With a possible starting role due to Oronde Gadsden II’s injury, Conklin could become a favorable streaming option against the Jaguars, who have struggled against tight ends.

As the fantasy football season progresses, these waiver wire pickups can help bolster your team’s depth and performance. Targeting players with growth potential can lead to critical advantages in your league as the playoffs approach.
