CLEVELAND, OH – Trade deadlines have passed in most fantasy leagues, which means the waiver wire is the only way you can improve your team. A key waiver add could be the difference between making the playoffs or being eliminated.
Here are the players worth adding this week:
Brian Hill (5%) – Hill filled in for the injured Devonta Freeman (foot) for most of Sunday’s game, finishing with 71 yards from scrimmage and one touchdown. Hill has good size and is capable of being an every down back. If Freeman misses time, Hill would have RB2 potential in a Week 11 matchup against Carolina.
Deebo Samuel (15%) – Samuel’s role in the 49ers offense continues to grow. He finished with eight receptions for 112 yards on Monday and has at least seven targets in his last two games. Emmanuel Sanders also left Monday’s game with injured ribs. Samuel’s value could continue to rise if Sanders misses any time.
J.D. McKissic (21%) – McKissic has at least 11 PPR points in each of his last two games. The Lions are dealing with multiple injuries at running back, which makes McKissic a must-add in most leagues. He’s mostly a pass catcher, but he should be a big part of the offense and get plenty of volume moving forward.
Darius Slayton (10%) – Slayton had 10 receptions for 121 yards and two touchdowns on Sunday. He has great chemistry with Daniel Jones. Slayton is a big part of the Giants’ passing offense with both Evan Engram and Sterling Shepard out. He's worth adding if you need a boost at wide receiver down the stretch.
James Washington (6%) – Washington had the breakout game the Steelers were hoping for in Week 10 – finishing with six receptions for 90 yards and one touchdown. The second-year pro has scored 10 or more fantasy points in PPR leagues in back-to-back games. He’s emerging in an offense that needs another downfield threat. Washington is a WR5, but is worth adding in deeper leagues.
O.J. Howard (40%) – Howard had his first receiving touchdown of the season on Sunday against the Cardinals. He took advantage of a great matchup against the Cardinals. With the injuries at tight end, Howard is worth considering in deeper leagues. He has elite talent, but hasn’t been a big part of the Buccaneers’ offense.
Jacob Hollister (6%) – Hollister has 12 receptions and three touchdowns in his last two games. Russell Wilson relies on his tight ends to make plays in the red zone. Hollister has a bye in Week 11, but he has TE1 potential for the rest of the season.
Other players worth watching:
Taylor Gabriel (6%), Cole Beasley (32%), Mecole Hardman (27%), Rashard Higgins (1%), Andy Isabella (1%), Hunter Renfrow (10%), Tyler Eifert (8%), N’Keal Harry (12%), Phillip Dorsett (28%), Nelson Agholor (13%), Peyton Barber (27%).
