Post Week 11 Waivers

by Jonny Danger

QB Fill-ins
Carson Wentz – PHI
Feels gross even typing that. But simply anyone against Seattle is viable. If you are in need after a Burrow injury or bye week he is a great 1 week fill in.

Daniel Jones – NYG
I like the idea of matching up against the Bengals. The backup QB and offense in disarray could mean some good field position throughout the game as well.

Phillip Rivers – IND
TEN defense is just all banged up and looking ripe for picking on. Rivers is always a threat to have a craptastic game but the matchup is choice in week 12

Also fine, Dalton, Teddy or Baker

RB
Gus Edwards/Justice Hill – BAL
Desperation only… but who knows with Covid and injuries what you might need to ride out the year. With both Ingram and Dobbins most likely missing the week with COVID Gus probably gets first crack but could also be a chance to see what Hill can do as a former highly touted prospect. I hate this matchup against the Steelers though, so I’m more inclined to let them go through the waivers and speculation add one of them if they clear.

Frank Gore – NYJ
The Jets seem content to let the old man ride. It’s not sexy but he gets a beatable schedule in MIA/LV/SEA in the next 3 games. He will probably clear waivers and you can get him for free.

Adrian Peterson – DET
I guess if you need a body… Houston Defense is basically a free square for 10-12 points to the RB position. 

Zach Moss – MIA
He disappointed against SEA and ARI then went on a BYE. Chances are he got dropped so take a peak. His schedule sucks for the last 4 weeks but this week he gets LAC and could put up a solid score just when you need him.

I’m really not excited about any RB this week. Save your priority or FAAB, and make sure you have your handcuffs. If you have free space and want to sit on a guy like Mattison or Pollard Or Lat Murray, I am ok with that too.


WR
Curtis Samuel – CAR
I am not sure what else he needs to do to be on your roster. He is only owned in 50% of yahoo leagues as of writing this and all he has done is score over 20 points in PPR in 3 of the last 4 games and gets Minnesota this week. Complete LOCK if he is there for you.

Nelson Agholor – LV
Has scored about 14 points or more in 5 of the last 7 games. Clearly is the #1 WR and #2 target behind Waller. 19% owned is just silly. Get at him.

Tim Patrick – DEN
Been in this article for the last 3 weeks and he made it again. Decent matchup for one last week. If you need a WR to fill in he has been solid. 

Michael Pittman – IND
After in the article last week as well he remains to be under 50% owned and proved again he is worthy of a roster spot. The schedule for the rest of the year is an A+.

Russell Gage – ATL
An absolutely valid target if Julio misses a week. 12 targets last week shows he is capable of big numbers if given the chance. 

Streaming TE week 9

Jordan Reed- SF
SF loves their TEs and LAR have been susceptible to throws across the middle. He is fine for a fill in for the rest of the season really, as long as Kittle is out.

Robert Tonyan – GB
Chicago is weak across the middle and slot defense. I love this look for Tonyan in a tough divisional match.

Trey Burton – TEN
Burton has made himself the favorite TE target for Rivers and has a nice matchup against the beat up Titan middle. 

Tyler Eiffert – JAX
He is averaging 5 targets a game. He hasn’t done a bunch with them, but he has had multiple games with multiple TDs in past years and against CLE is as good a chance as you can get.

Logan THomas- WAS
Do I have to say it again… we always like Logan.

Malik Nabers caught 7-of-14 targets for 68 yards in the Giants' Week 16 loss to the Falcons.
This has somehow become Nabers' usual, inefficient statline amongst his league-worst quarterback play. He almost didn't get there after coming up gimpy following his second reception. Grimacing, Nabers could be seen attempting to stretch out his pectoral for several moments. He eventually made his way back, however, and almost capped the proceedings with a garbage time touchdown. Unfortunately, Drew Lock missed him twice in the end zone as the fourth quarter neared its expiration. Hitting his floor every week with seemingly no ceiling, Nabers will remain a back-end WR2 for the fantasy finals vs. Indy's stout pass defense.

Calvin Ridley caught 3-of-5 targets for 78 yards and a touchdown in the Titans' Week 16 loss to the Colts.
Ridley saw just five targets for the second straight week with Mason Rudolph starting. One of those was a 38-yard toss that Ridley caught on a deep route for a touchdown. He is the team's primary receiver, but Rudolph has been targeting receivers in shallow areas often, pumping up tight end receiving numbers. Ridley's fantasy value is reliant on occasional touchdowns and big plays. He is in the WR3 range for Week 17 against the Jaguars.

Texans listed John Metchie (shoulder) as a limited participant on Sunday's estimated practice report.
Metchie was inactive for Week 16's game against the Chiefs after being held out of practice all week. Sunday's limited designation is an upgrade from last week, and is one worth watching with Tank Dell (knee) likely out for the season. Metchie has just 17 catches for 182 yards and a touchdown this season, but should see a healthy snap share in Week 17's game against the Ravens if active.

DeVonta Smith caught 6-of-8 targets for 51 yards in the Eagles' Week 16 loss against the Commanders.
It was the A.J. Brown Show from start to finish against Washington. Brown was targeted 15 times while Smith was an afterthought, especially in the second half. Smith dropped what would have been a third down conversion in the fourth quarter -- one that might have ended the game for the Commanders. It was a letdown performance after Smith's 111-yard, one-touchdown outing last week against Pittsburgh, but he remains in the top-30 among fantasy wideouts as the Eagles head into Week 17 against the Cowboys. Smith had 14 yards on two grabs the last time he faced Dallas.

Cole Kmet caught both of his targets for nine yards and a touchdown in the Bears' Week 16 loss to the Lions.
No fantasy manager with their salt was still starting Kmet, so his one-yard score fell on deaf ears. Kmet's 6/49/1 stat line over his past four games would be a normal day for the league's better tight ends. The fact that he needs a month to amass those stats tells you all you need to know about his fantasy outlook heading into Week 17.
