Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Targets: Rico Dowdle, Kenneth Gainwell, Elijah Mitchell (Week 11)

It’s important to know the top waiver wire targets for each week of the fantasy football season. Beyond the top targets, though, there is benefit to improving your bench and stashing players that are forecasted to increase in value. We’ll also be a great resource for these waiver wire stashes. Here’s a look at players you should consider stashing this week. And here is all of our fantasy football Week 11 waiver wire advice.

Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Stash Targets

Running Back Stash Candidates

As expected, the Dallas Cowboys rotated Rico Dowdle in for quite a few snaps to relieve Tony Pollard in Sunday’s easy win over the Giants. Dowdle responded with 79 rushing yards on 12 attempts and a late touchdown plunge. He remains one of the most important handcuffs in fantasy.

Kenneth Gainwell is only considered a stash because most fantasy managers don’t realize how much of a role he has in Philadelphia. Gainwell sees a lot of action alongside D’Andre Swift but is very dependent on game flow. He has scored a touchdown in two of his last three games and would be a very intriguing player if Swift were to go down.

Similar to Dowdle, Elijah Mitchell backs up a bell cow RB. The difference between them is that Kyle Shanahan never lets Christian McCaffrey off the field. Mitchell carries no value unless CMC misses time, in which case he would require the Brinks truck in FAAB to acquire him.
