Late Week 11 Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Adds: Tez Johnson, Tre Tucker, Aaron Rodgers and More

Fantasy football waiver wire pickups are bigger at the start of new NFL weeks, but late-week pickups can make a difference in your fantasy matchups as well.

As we have the past several weeks, let's go over some fantasy football waiver wire options as the weekend slate of week 11 nears.

Fantasy football waiver options can be found daily on FantasySP!

Wide Receivers

Arizona's Michael Wilson is the top pickup among non-kickers and DSTs. He's up 5.14%, which brings his overall mark to 36.25%.

Wilson is on the rise after Marvin Harrison was ruled out for week 11, and maybe longer. Wilson should be the top Cardinals' wide receiver as a result.

Wilson will still be the No. 2 option in the passing game behind tight end Trey McBride, but Wilson could be a sneaky good fantasy option for week 11.

I like utilizing him in DFS lineups as a cheap lineup option, or in deeper leagues. If he delivers in week 11 and Harrison is out again for week 12, Wilson could be a standard league starter then.

Las Vegas' Tre Tucker is rostered in 67.95% of leagues after a 4.78% increase today.

Tucker has a super favorable matchup against the Cowboys on Monday night, so I really like the idea of adding him, and think his own percentage will rise steadily until he eventually plays.

He's the Raiders' No. 1 wideout now, and that gives him a decent fantasy outlook as well. If you have a flex-level player who is questionable to play, adding Tucker makes a lot of sense. 

Keep him in mind if you have a late inactive, since he doesn't play until Monday.

Tampa Bay's Tez Johnson has been added in 2.82% of leagues, bringing his overall mark to 63.33%.

Johnson was really good in week 10, so I'm surprised he wasn't added in more leagues after that performance. He's still the No. 2 wideout behind Emeka Egbuka, but until Chris Godwin or Mike Evans return, Johnson is a decent fantasy asset.

The emergence of tight end Cade Otton hurts Johnson's stock a bit, but Johnson is still on the flex-level line in standard leagues, while being a really good deep-league option.

Cleveland's Jerry Jeudy is up 2.04% and he is now owned in 73.91% of leagues overall.

Jeudy quietly had a really nice showing in week 10. He's still the top pass catcher for the Browns, and he has a pretty nice matchup coming against the Ravens, so he's not a bad starting option in standard leagues.

With his struggles earlier in the season, I like Jeudy as a deep-league starter only, but in a pinch, he could be used as a final starter in standard leagues.

Running Backs

There's fantasy backs all over the waiver wire list, even though only a couple are being added in more than 2% of leagues.

Atlanta's Tyler Allgeier is up 3.58% and he sits at 61.79% overall now.

Allgeier is coming off a monster showing against the Colts, although a couple touchdown runs are propping up his fantasy score from that one. Still, he's a nice fantasy option in the right matchups or situations.

Bijan Robinson is healthy, so it's all about the matchup for Allgeier this week. His test against the Panthers is pretty average on paper. Allgeier had just two touches in the first game against Carolina, gaining only four yards.

I get adding him after last week's showing, but I only see him as a starting option in deeper setups. Robinson should lead the way again, and unless Allgeier scores again, I see him as a below-average fantasy back.

San Francisco's Brian Robinson, Houston's Woody Marks and Tampa Bay's Sean Tucker are between 2.06-2.14% added today. Robinson is rostered in 34.78% of leagues, while Marks is up to 93.61% and Tucker is at 41.13%.

Robinson has factored in a bit more over the past two weeks, so it's also fair to see him on the rise. Christian McCaffrey is still the workhorse, but the team could be starting to manage his workload as the weather gets a bit colder.

His matchup against Arizona this week is slightly below average, so I only see Robinson as a deep-league option, but a pretty solid one, especially if you are in a pinch. He should be held in most deeper leagues anyways with the injury history CMC has.

Marks looked like the Texans' RB1 last week, so I have no clue why he isn't at 100% rostered yet. He doesn't need to start every week, but he needs to be rostered at the very least.

He's coming off one of his better fantasy showings, and now has a favorable matchup coming against the Titans, which is the team he has his best fantasy showing against as a rookie.

Get Marks added in your league, and heavily consider starting him in this favorable matchup.

Tucker has done a bit more of the past two weeks, and should be in for a similar role again as Bucky Irving will miss another game. He has deep-league upside, especially in a decent matchup like he has.

Tucker has the Bills this weekend, who are an above-average matchup for a fantasy back. Rachaad White should lead the backfield, but don't be afraid to fire up Tucker in deeper leagues, or even some standard leagues in a pinch.

Washington's Chris Rodriguez has been added in 1.98% of leagues, bringing his overall mark to 14.87%.

Rodriguez has a score in back-to-back weeks, and with the inefficiency of starter Jacory Croskey-Merritt, I like the idea of adding him for week 11.

Miami is a pretty favorable matchup for him, so he really could be added in a bunch more deeper leagues, earning starts in a lot of those leagues as well. 

Arizona's Bam Knight is at 43.59% rostered after a 1.92% increase today.

I don't really know what to make of the Arizona backfield right now, but if Knight is active, he's an option in deeper leagues for sure. 

San Francisco is another above-average test for a back, so there's a chance Knight could deliver for some deep-league owners. I like Emari Demercado as the lead back, but both could be decent fantasy assets in this matchup, so don't forget about Knight.

Tight Ends

New York Giants' Theo Johnson and Tampa Bay's Cade Otton two tight ends on the rise as the weekend hits.

Johnson is up 3% and now is rostered in 73.08% of leagues overall.

Johnson is trending up with a lack of playmakers available for New York. He has an above-average matchup against the Packers coming, but a lot of changes for the Giants this week makes Johnson a bit riskier of a fantasy asset.

I definitely would be starting him in deeper leagues for week 11, and he's definitely in the running for a standard league spot, depending on your other options.

Even adding Johnson to have him for the stretch run makes sense to me, so I like adding him today for a few reasons.

Otton is rostered in 69.74% of leagues after a 2.99% increase today.

We already discussed Otton a bit when discussing Johnson at wide receiver. Otton has stepped up after several Tampa Bay injuries, and he's a legit weekly fantasy asset now.

The only thing holding him back from being a top-end fantasy TE this week is a brutal matchup against the Bills. I'd be willing to roll the dice on the Bucs' tight end in all leagues though, although he's a much safer choice in deeper leagues.

Quarterbacks

Arizona's Jacoby Brissett, Washington's Marcus Mariota and Pittsburgh's Aaron Rodgers are quarterbacks on the rise as the weekend hits.

Brissett is up 3.49% and he now sits at 42.46% overall.

Brissett has been an above-average fantasy QB in all four of his starts, so I'm honestly surprised he isn't getting more fantasy love, especially with Kyler Murray out several more weeks yet.

His week 11 matchup against the Niners is an above-average matchup for the QB, so he's a good deep-league option, and a sneaky good standard league streamer too.

Mariota is rostered in 25.83% of leagues after a 2.85% increase today.

Mariota was pretty solid last week despite the Commanders getting toppled by the Lions. His week 11 matchup against the Dolphins is also pretty favorable, so he's another sneaky good option.

I'd only want to start him in deeper leagues, but he's certainly capable of posting an above-average score in this matchup.

Rodgers has been added in 2.67% of leagues and is up to 61.13% overall.

Rodgers has cooled off over the past couple weeks, but has a chance to bounce back in week 11 against a bad Bengals' defense. Rodgers was great against them in week 7, and that gives him standard league streaming upside in this one, even though he's a much easier start in deeper leagues.
