With only three weeks remaining until the start of the fantasy postseason, time is running out to make a push towards a spot in your league's playoffs.
Whether you are searching for a bye week replacement, an injury fill-in or a bench stash that could prove valuable in the playoffs, you have come to the right place.
Below are the top adds for Week 11 of the NFL season, listed in priority order.
Good luck on the waiver wire this week!
WR Josh Reynolds, Los Angeles Rams
The biggest injury to a fantasy contributor in Week 10 occurred in Los Angeles, as Rams second-year receiver Cooper Kupp tore his ACL and will miss the rest of the season. The injury opens the door for Reynolds to play a consistent role in the high-powered Los Angeles offense. In his last game filling in for Kupp, Reynolds reeled in a pair of touchdowns on three catches. Kupp's targets will likely be spread out among several players, but Reynolds appears to be in line for the biggest uptick in playing time, making him the top add on this week's waiver wire.
RB Rashaad Penny, Seattle Seahawks
Sometimes all it takes is one strong performance for a player to change the public's perception on him. Such is the case with Penny. After being labeled a draft bust through the first nine weeks of the season, the rookie busted out for 108 yards on 12 carries (9.0 yards per carry) and a touchdown against the Rams in Week 10. Chris Carson was unable to suit up for this one and may not be able to get healthy enough for Seattle's Week 11 contest against the Packers on Thursday. If Carson doesn't play, Penny could be in for another huge outing.
RB Royce Freeman, Denver Broncos
Freeman garnered a lot of buzz leading up to the start of the regular season. While he has fallen behind Philip Lindsay on the depth chart, don't sleep on big rookie back. Freeman has been sidelined since injuring his ankle in Week 8, but appears ready to return to the Denver backfield this week. Despite Lindsay attracting all of the attention, Freeman has quietly averaged 4.4 yards per carry while scoring four touchdowns in seven games. Freeman continues to have a role as the team's goal line back, which should allow him to provide some fantasy value for the remainder of the season.
WR John Ross, Cincinnati Bengals
The injury to A.J. Green paved the way for Ross to play a bigger role in the Bengals' offense in Week 10. Overall it was an abysmal game for Cincinnati, but Ross served as one of the lone bright spots, catching two passes for 39 yards and a touchdown. More importantly, Ross received six of the 23 total targets in the team's disappointing loss to the Saints. That is an incredible target share... If Andy Dalton continues to target the second-year receiver at that rate, Ross will immediately become a solid fantasy contributor in a talented Bengals offense.
WR Anthony Miller, Chicago Bears
Many around the league believed the return of Allen Robinson would lead to a decrease in playing time for Chicago's rookie receiver. Yet even with Robinson having a strong game, Miller managed to put together a strong performance himself. The 5-foot-11 receiver caught five of six targets for 122 yards and a touchdown against the Lions, proving his relevance in the fantasy world is here to stay. Miller now has five receptions in back-to-back games, along with 24 targets over the last four weeks. That sort of production is too difficult to ignore...
QB Dak Prescott, Dallas Cowboys
At this point of the season, it is unlikely you are still searching for an answer at QB. In case you are, Prescott could be the solution. The third-year quarterback is not blowing the doors off of opposing defenses, but since Dallas acquired Amari Cooper from Oakland, Prescott has been trending in the right direction. He completed 72.2 percent of his passes for 270 yards and a touchdown, adding nine rushing yards and an additional score on the ground, against the Eagles on Sunday Night Football. With a matchup against the Atlanta Falcons' horrid pass defense on deck, Prescott is the top streaming option in Week 11.
RB Elijah McGuire, New York Jets
It tends to be difficult to find fantasy relevant running backs this late in the season, but those in search of one should take a look at McGuire. In his second game back from the injured reserve, the second-year back gained 57 total yards on nine touches in a game in which the Jets offense could get nothing going. McGuire has been more effective than lead back Isaiah Crowell over the last two weeks, and with the Jets heading into their bye week, a changing of the guard could be coming. McGuire has been able to provide a spark to the Jets' struggling offense, and if given the ball more, could do the same for your team in the final weeks of the fantasy season.
WR Willie Snead IV, Baltimore Ravens
Believe it or not, Snead has been incredibly consistent this season. Baltimore's slot receiver has finished with 10 or more PPR points in all but two games this season, and over the last five games, has racked up an incredible 43 targets. Snead's ceiling is not high though, as he has yet to top 60 receiving yards this season while only finding the end zone once. The Ravens have one of the most favorable fantasy schedules remaining for its wide receivers, starting with a Week 11 matchup against the Bengals. Snead could be looking at a huge second-half of the season.
WR Keke Coutee, Houston Texans
Coutee seems to have been forgotten in Houston after his hamstring injury forced him to miss the last few games. While Demaryius Thomas is also now a member of the Texans, that should not stop you from going out and picking up Coutee this week. Assuming he is able to return from his injury, Coutee will immediately jump back into the role of slot receiver for an improving Texans offense. Houston also has a rather easy remaining schedule, which means Week 11 could be the start of a strong final stretch for the rookie receiver.
