BEST WR PICKUPS: Week 11 waiver wire
Garrett Wilson (knee) is listed as OUT for Thursday Night Football; the Jets are expected to be missing their top wideout for at least another few weeks afterward.
Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins have arguably the best matchup heading into a week for wide receivers all season. The Steelers’ cornerbacks leak ample points to wideouts — the most in the league at publication time.
Justin Jefferson came close to a two-touchdown day in an otherwise frustrating showing with J.J. McCarthy in Week 10. Ride with him as a WR1 again in Week 11 against another WR sieve: the Bears.
The Dolphins’ Jaylen Waddle should dominate the Commanders’ DBs in Spain, even with Dan Quinn taking over defensive playcalling duties.
Tre Tucker deserves a do-over in fantasy lineups now that the Raiders face the Cowboys’ weak secondary.
Even with QB Dillon Gabriel’s limitations, Jerry Jeudy broke loose after the bye against the Jets, who just traded away Sauce Gardner. The Ravens’ defense looks improved, but Jeudy should still be busy and should log a WR2/WR3 fantasy day.
The Vikings and Bears have a pair of depth wideouts who could step up in tantalizing matchups: Jalen Nailor (5-124-1 in Week 10) and, if desperate, Luther Burden (3-51, but snap count is increasing).
Davis Mills had a positive, pass-happy game script, but Jayden Higgins again found a touchdown even in a limited role.
Broncos playmakers are in trouble this week versus the Chiefs defense. Troy Franklin, Denver’s new No. 1 receiver, could pad his PPR stats a bit on short routes, but Bo Nix is going to have a tough time pushing things downfield and consistently finding time to breathe, let alone throw.
The Commanders likely will attack Miami with its run game, and while Deebo Samuel could be involved in that as well, Marcus Mariota hasn’t played in Samuel’s favor as much as Jayden Daniels did. Even with Terry McLaurin (quadriceps) again likely to sit out, don’t blindly upgrade Deebo.
