Top Week 11 Fantasy Football Waiver Picks
Last-Minute Waiver Wire Targets
All players listed here are available in over 65% of ESPN leagues, making them suitable for immediate consideration.
- Jacoby Brissett (QB – ARI) vs. San Francisco 49ers | 23.1% Rostered
- Chris Rodriguez Jr. (RB – WSH) vs. Miami Dolphins | 4.9% Rostered
- Jayden Higgins (WR – HOU) vs. Tennessee Titans | 19.1% Rostered
- Malik Washington (WR – MIA) vs. Washington Commanders | 17.6% Rostered
- Michael Wilson (WR – ARI) vs. San Francisco 49ers | 11.2% Rostered
- Pat Freiermuth (TE – PIT) vs. Cincinnati Bengals | 7.9% Rostered
With Kyler Murray’s future in doubt, Brissett has stepped up impressively. Over four starts, he averages 279.5 passing yards, two touchdowns, and 21.2 fantasy points per game. His matchup against a depleted 49ers defense could yield significant points.
Rodriguez has become the primary running back for Washington. He is averaging 6.9 fantasy points per game over the past month and has found the end zone in three games. The Dolphins allow the eighth-most fantasy points to running backs, making this a prime matchup.
With C.J. Stroud sidelined, Davis Mills will lead the offense. Higgins recorded a solid performance last week with five receptions and a touchdown. The Titans’ pass defense has been weak, presenting an opportunity for Higgins to shine.
Washington has benefited from Tyreek Hill’s absence and has become a consistent option for Miami. He averages 10 PPR fantasy points per game and faces a Commanders defense that struggles against wide receivers.
With injuries plaguing Arizona’s receiving corps, Wilson is positioned for increased targets. He has shown reliability with Brissett, making him a strategic option against a softened 49ers defense.
Freiermuth has emerged as a reliable tight end, averaging 12.6 PPR fantasy points over the past month. The Bengals allow the most fantasy points to tight ends this season, enhancing Freiermuth’s value as a bye-week fill-in.
Considerations for Your Roster
These players present potential upside for Week 11 and could help navigate injury challenges. Assess your lineups carefully, and consider these waiver wire pickups as you prepare for another competitive week in fantasy football.
