Waiver Wire: Week 11

Last week was personified by picks and misses. Bad quarterback play and missed field goals. As the fantasy playoffs approach, avoiding these pitfalls and reinforcing your roster is as important as ever. Our Waiver Wire: Week 11 catches you up on this week’s best low-rostered pickups.

Along with knowing who to pick up, FullTime Fantasy‘s Matchup Analyzer Tool will help you get the most out of your lineup.

Here are the low-rostered players you should consider adding before Week 11.

Week 11 BYES: Arizona, Carolina, New York Giants, Tampa Bay

circa

Audric Estime (RB) Denver Broncos – Sean Payton has said that Estime’s role will grown and it finally did on Sunday. The rookie led Denver’s backifled with 26 snaps (45%) and dominated the touches. Estime logged 14 rushing attempts against the Chiefs. Javonte Williams (1) and Jaleel McLaughlin (2) combined for three. Estime won’t contribute in the passing game. However, that kind of rushing volume can’t be ignored in Payton’s offense. View Estime as an RB3/flex option and be prepared to bid up to 15% of your FAAB.

Tyjae Spears (RB) Tennessee Titans – Speaking of usage, it was encouraging to see Tyjae Spears play a season-high 46% of Tennessee’s snaps in his return to the lineup. Tony Pollard only received two more carries than Spears but Spears was more effective, outgaining Pollard 47-44 on the ground. Expect the see the Titans revert back to their early-season backfield split. That puts Spears on the PPR RB3/flex radar.

Ricky Pearsall (WR) San Francisco 49ers – Now cemented into San Francisco’s lineup as a top-3 wideout…

Thursday Night Football Preview: Week 10

The fantasy playoff stretch drive starts with an excellent AFC North battle. This rematch of a Week 5 shootout won by the Baltimore Ravens 41-38 over the Cincinnati Bengals should be one of the NFL’s games of the month. The FullTime Fantasy Thursday Night Football Preview: Week 10 breaks down the game from a fantasy and sports betting perspective.

At 4-5 with a loss to the Ravens already in the books, this is a crucial game for the Bengals’ playoff odds. And after losing five of their last six against Baltimore, the pressure is on for Zac Taylor’s bunch.

Meanwhile, the Ravens boast the league’s top offense. John Harbaugh’s team added reinforcements at the trade deadline and has had Cincinnati’s number of late.

Baltimore opened as 3-point favorites but that line quickly doubled. Meanwhile, the total, which opened at 47, has shot up to a Week 10-high 53 points.

Matchup 

TEAM OFFENSE PASS RUSH YDS/PLAY POINTS
Cincinnati Bengals  17 5 26 14 6
Baltimore Ravens  1 2 1 1 1

Last week’s Jets/Texans game was a snoozer. However, this game has some potential. Both squads rank inside the top 6 in scoring. And the first meeting between these rivals resulted in 962 combined yards and 53 first downs. Inject it into our veins!

The Bengals are a pass-first team led by Joe Burrow, who ranks third in fantasy points and is tied for second in the league with 20 touchdown passes. However, Cincinnati ranks 26th in rushing and is better at defending the run than the pass.

But the Ravens have the best offense in the NFL, ranking first in rushing and second in passing. That makes Baltimore’s balance problematic for the Bengals and every opponent.

Cincinnati Offense…

Here are the low-rostered players you should consider adding before Week 9.

Week 10 BYES: Cleveland, Green Bay, Las Vegas, Seattle

circa

Quentin Johnston (WR) Los Angeles Chargers – After missing two games, Johnston returned with a vengeance. Versus the Browns, he reeled in 4-of-5 targets for 118 yards and a touchdown. Johnston has now scored double-digit fantasy points in three of his past five outings. He plays a healthy amount of snaps and should be viewed as a weekly WR4/flex option worth a healthy 1-12% FAAB bid. Teammate Joshua Palmer is also a priority add.

Ricky Pearsall (WR) San Francisco 49ers– Because the Niners were off last week, you may be able to sneak a quality player in for cheap if your opponents unwisely sort by last week’s total points. Pearsall is locked into a top-3 role for a San Francisco offense that ranks ninth in yards and scoring…

Thursday Night Football Preview: Week 9

We enter the second half of the 2024 season with an AFC battle that has lost luster. The Houston Texans are 6-2 but are being hit hard by the injury bug. Meanwhile, the 2-6 Jets are falling apart and against the wall. The FullTime Fantasy Thursday Night Football Preview: Week 9 breaks down everything fantasy football fans need to know about this week’s game.

Although the Texans are among the AFC favorites, they enter this contest severely depleted. Down Nico Collins and now Stefon Diggs, Bobby Slowik, and Houston’s offense will have little time to reinvent themselves against a strong Jets defense.

Speaking of the Jets, firing Robert Saleh didn’t fix New York’s issues. The Jets have lost five straight games to fall into last place in the weak AFC East. There is significant pressure on Aaron Rodgers and company to salvage what increasingly looks like a lost season.

The over/under opened at 45 but has fallen three points. Meanwhile, the Jets are oddly favored by 1.5 points.

Matchup 

TEAM OFFENSE PASS RUSH YDS/PLAY POINTS
Houston Texans 9 7 15 16 11
New York Jets 18 10 30 23 23

Despite the injuries, the Texans are still a top-10 overall offense. QB C.J. Stroud hasn’t been as effective as he was in Year One but Houston boasts a balanced offense just outside the elite scoring units.

However, injuries and poor offensive line play have been an issue for DeMeco Ryan’s club. Houston’s beleaguered O-line ranks 25th in pass-block win rate and 30th in run-block win rate. The latter is a particular concern against a New York defense that ranks fifth in run-stop win rate.

Meanwhile, seeing the Jets rank 30th in rushing with two young stud running backs is a surprise. However, like the Texans, New York has offensive line issues. QB Aaron Rodgers is constantly under duress and that’s a big problem against a fearsome Houston pass rush with Will Anderson and Danielle Hunter.

Houston’s defense ranks second in win rate versus the run and fourth versus the pass. That’s going to be a problem for this Jets’ offense.

Houston Offense 

After a stellar rookie campaign, C.J. Stroud sits at 13th in QB rating after eight games. Defenses have started pressuring Stroud,
