Waiver Wire Pickups: Tight Ends to Stash Ahead of Week 11

Hayden Hurst (TE – CIN) – 53% Rostered

The Bengals are currently on a bye week, but it might be worth stashing Hayden Hurst, who is the tight end eight in PPR formats and has averaged 5.3 targets per game. Hurst also has seven red-zone targets and has been unfortunate not to turn them into more than the two touchdowns he has to date. After a matchup with the Steelers in Week 11, Hurst faces the Titans and Chiefs in friendly matchups for tight ends.

Cole Kmet (TE – CHI) – 52% Rostered

Up until Week 8, Cole Kmet hadn’t scored a touchdown since Week 13 of the 2020 season. Since Week 8, he has had three in two games. This Bears offense is rolling with the new scheme installed mid-season, and Justin Fields passing options are thriving for the first time all year. Kmet only averages 28 yards over his last three games but has a Week 11 game against the Falcons, who allow the sixth-most fantasy points to opposing tight ends.
