Waiver Wire Week 11
If you are still reading these waiver wire articles then congratulations to you and let us get to work doing the best that we can to help you lock up your playoff spot and eventually your league’s championship.
This week we will be highlighting some players that we believe can be an asset to you now, and possibly a few guys who can be a benefit if your playoff spot is secure and you want some players with good schedules for your playoff run.
The waiver wire is of course getting a bit then if you are in any kind of competitive league, but there are still gems to be had and guys you can pick up and stash away that will help you win your league. Another great idea is to handcuff some of your players that have a high upside handcuff.
QB – Tony Romo – Romo should be available to come off of IR this week and will be the top QB add if he is available in your league. He has a 47% ownership rate in ESPN.com leagues and should be a nice add over the last few weeks of the season.

QB – Marcus Mariota – Mariota is a guy we told you last week to add and stash for this week. He is coming off of a rough game, but he was facing one of the league’s undefeated teams and is just a rookie. I am expecting big things from this rookie for this week and he could easily be a top ten play this week.
QB – Brock Osweiler– Osweiler is not my favorite add for this week, but after watching some tape I think he might wind up being pretty effective. I said in my good-bye article to Peyton Manning that I would not be adding him, but after watching I think I would add him.
QB – Mark Sanchez – Sanchez has proven that he was fairly successful in the Eagles’ offense last year. He might be worth an add if you have a spot to burn, but I do not think I would cut anyone producing well for him.

Running Backs:
RB – Matt Jones – Jones is a pretty good guy to add as he had a great game this past weekend. I would expect that he has earned a larger role in this offense going forward and he could be a RB2/3 over the final weeks of the season.
RB – James White – White is the guy that we all expect should take over Dion Lewis‘ role in the Patriots offense. He only saw one target this past week, but we all know that with Bill Belichick and is schemes guys can appear and disappear on a regular basis.
RB – Shaun Draughn – Draughn came in and pretty much took over things for the 49ers backfield. He had a decent day and rushed for 58 yards on 16 carries with little time to learn the playbook. He also saw some passing down work with four catches on fie targets for 38 yards.

Wide Receivers:
WR – Danny Amendola – Amendola seems like he could be one of the early benefactors of the Dion Lewis injury. he had 10 catches for 79 yards this past week and is worthy of an add across most formats. obviously Amendola will be a better add in PPR leagues, but I would still add him across all formats.
WR – Kamar Aiken – Aiken has had two weeks in a row where he has been over six catches. Eventually he is going to break out and score a couple of touchdowns and then everyone is going to want him. He has been an add here for a few weeks. If you need WR help go get Aiken.
TE – Crockett Gillmore – Gillmore is becoming Flacco’s favorite target in Baltimore. He has touchdowns over the past few weeks and is looking like he could be a solid add for the fantasy football stretch run. If you need help at TE add him as soon as possible.

TE – Jacob Tamme – Before the week 10 bye, Tamme had 10 catches and six catches in the two games before that. In both games he saw plenty of targets and the offense is certain to continue airing the ball out. Tamme is probably my higher priority add of the two TEs, but I like both guys.
