Waiver Wire Analysis: Week 11

 

The second Preparing for the Playoffs article will be released later this week, where I’ll be doing a deep dive into the schedule from Week 13 through Week 17 while discussing a variety of fantasy options during that span. If you have a question about a player or a strategy, you are welcome to reach out to me in our Discord, via Twitter @RyanReynoldsNFL, or via email [email protected] if that’s your preference. Even if you don’t post in Discord, we discuss various updates throughout the week in the waivers channel that you might find useful. Every week, I will be doing my last round of checks on Saturday evening, which will include a multi-game analysis in the survivor pools channel in our Discord through the rest of the year.

Note: If A.J. Dillon or Mark Ingram remain available in your league, I’d be willing to max bid on either of them given this late stage of the season. If Van Jefferson is available in your league, he would top this week’s wide receiver list.
