Waiver Targets 11.24

These are the top players to consider adding from waivers this week. Unless otherwise noted, all players below are available in greater than 50% of Yahoo leagues (as of Sunday evening).

Week 11 teams on bye: Buccaneers, Cardinals, Giants, Panthers

Waivers disclaimer: We’re heading into the home stretch of fantasy leagues. I’m continuing to make FAAB suggestions based on a percentage of budget and relative to the recommendations throughout the previous columns this season. That being said, there are less and less high-priority recommendations (one this week, one total over the two previous waiver columns) as the fantasy regular season winds down. If you’re sitting on the top waiver priority or the biggest pile of FAAB you should be adjusting to your specific league and situation.

QB Pickups

Bo Nix, DEN, Week 11 vs ATL

• Nix is likely somewhere around the 10th-highest scoring fantasy QB in your league so far this year. Since his worst career game, a brutal 60-passing-yard performance Week 4 at the Jets, he has nine passing TDs against only two interceptions over his past six games. He’s also added a useful 180-2 rushing line and caught a TD over that stretch.
• Low-priority add. Nix has a couple of nice matchups coming up (vs ATL, at LV) and has shown the ability to score fantasy points through the air or with his legs. He does still have his Week 14 bye coming up.
• 10% or less of FAAB.

Justin Herbert, LAC, Week 11 vs CIN
