3 Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups to Stash (Week 11)

It’s important to know the top fantasy football waiver wire targets for each week of the fantasy 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 fantasy football players you should consider stashing this week. And also be sure to check out all of our fantasy football waiver wire pickups for Week 11.

Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Stash Targets

Running Back Stash Candidates

Tahj Brooks (RB – CIN)

Before the Bengals’ bye in Week 10, Samaje Perine suffered a high-ankle sprain. This opens the door for sixth-round rookie Tahj Brooks to back up Chase Brown. The Bengals have become one of the best offenses for fantasy, and their late-season schedule is favorable. It’s worth stashing Brooks, who received lots of praise in the offseason.

Wide Receiver Stash Candidates

Luther Burden III (WR – CHI)
Kyle Williams (WR – NE)

DJ Moore was in and out of Week 10’s Giants-Bears game, as he sustained a shoulder injury. Luther Burden is worth a stash in case Moore misses any time. Burden has been productive when on the field this season. Entering Week 10, he had a 25% target per route run rate and 2.80 yards per route run, per Fantasy Points Data. I wouldn’t go overboard with bids for Burden, though. If Moore doesn’t miss any games, Burden is likely still stuck behind Olamide Zaccheaus for slot work for the remainder of the season.

Last week, Kyle Williams stepped into the starting lineup for the Patriots while Kayshon Boutte was out with a hamstring injury. Williams had a 55.7% snap rate and a 58.3% route share, per Pro Football Focus (PFF). Williams had only two targets, but he took one of them to the house for 72 yards. Williams is worth a stash in deeper leagues. He has fringe Flex value while Boutte is out, and could see his role grow in the weeks to come.
