Updated mid-week fantasy football waiver wire rankings for Week 11 of the 2025 NFL season. Top fantasy football free agents and streamers to add off waivers.
Week 11 is already here, as there are three weeks left in the regular season in most leagues. It's about roster management now as fantasy teams fight for a playoff push or look to clinch a bye. Managers are still dealing with bye weeks, in addition to injuries. At RotoBaller HQ, we are back with more waiver wire advice with our updated waiver wire rankings for fantasy football Week 11 of the 2025 season to help fantasy managers find those bye week and injury replacements.
The Colts and Saints are on the bye in Week 11. Fantasy managers will need to replace the top fantasy running back in the league, Jonathan Taylor, this week. Has Tyjae Spears taken over as Tennessee's lead back over Tony Pollard? With Bucky Irving sidelined, has Sean Tucker earned himself a larger role in Tampa Bay's backfield? J.K. Dobbins could be placed on injured reserve with a foot injury. Will Tyler Badie or Jaleel McLaughlin receive more touches behind the rookie RJ Harvey with Dobbins out?
These Week 11 waiver wire rankings are updated by Nick Mariano, RotoBaller's lead fantasy football analyst and forecaster. For those who are not familiar, he brings you his weekly waiver wire rankings and priority adds for the top 85 options to consider across various positions and league sizes. Good luck in Week 11 on the waiver wire!

Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Outlooks
Some of the top names include Sean Tucker, Kareem Hunt, Tyjae Spears, Jerry Jeudy, and Jalen Nailor. We recap why these players should be on your waiver wire radar for Week 11.
Sean Tucker, RB, Buccaneers
Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Sean Tucker paced the backfield on Sunday, totaling 53 yards on nine carries in their 28-23 loss to the New England Patriots. He lost two yards on 1-of-2 receiving. Tucker saw a season-high in carries his last time out and has now out-rushed backfield mate Rachaad White in back-to-back contests. White is an excellent all-around back, but there's reason to believe that Tucker is the better pure runner.
When teammate Bucky Irving (foot, shoulder) makes his way back from injury, the 24-year-old will likely return to a limited workload. Until then, it wouldn't be surprising to see him pick up some more rushing work due to White's inconsistencies in the run game. Tucker is difficult to project as a standalone option, though he'll be one of the higher-end handcuffs for as long as Irving is out.
Tyjae Spears, RB, Titans
Tennessee Titans running back Tyjae Spears will have a tough matchup as his team returns from its bye week against the Texans, but he's worth a look from the waiver wire since he has been working in such a prominent role in the Titans' backfield. Spears missed the first four weeks of the season, but he played between 40% and 60% of the team's snaps in each of the last four weeks.
In his five games, he has 30 carries for 152 yards and a touchdown, while adding 13 catches for 96 more yards. He has at least three catches in each of the last four weeks and should be fully healthy coming down the stretch for the Titans. The offense has struggled under Cam Ward, but as the rookie finds his way, Spears could be an interesting late-season addition. He has some favorable RB matchups ahead with the Jaguars, 49ers, and Saints remaining on his schedule down the road.
Tyler Badie, RB, Broncos
Denver Broncos running back Tyler Badie has had a very minimal role in Denver's backfield this year, but he could see more touches in the weeks ahead. Lead back J.K. Dobbins (foot) suffered a foot injury in last Thursday night's win over the Las Vegas Raiders and is now a candidate to land on Injured Reserve, which would knock him out for at least four games. The 25-year-old Badie would most likely become the RB2 for the Broncos behind rookie RJ Harvey if Dobbins misses extended time, and he's currently owned in 0% of Yahoo leagues.
The former sixth-round pick by the Baltimore Ravens in 2022 out of Missouri will be more attractive as a depth RB in point-per-reception leagues, as he's already caught a career-high 10 passes for 87 yards in nine games this year. Jaleel McLaughlin, who has been a healthy scratch for most of the season, would bump up to the RB3 role if Dobbins goes on IR.
Jerry Jeudy, WR, Browns
Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jerry Jeudy put up his best game of the 2025 season on Sunday, hauling in six of 12 targets for 78 yards and a touchdown in the 27-20 loss to the New York Jets. Despite the return of Cedric Tillman and the Brown struggles in the passing game, Jeudy finally showcased his talent for the first time in the 2025 season.
In PPR formats, Jeudy currently ranks as the WR64, averaging 7.5 fantasy points per game. Rookie quarterback Dillon Gabriel is averaging a league-low 5.0 yards per attempt this season, relying heavily on the tight ends in the passing game. Without a quarterback change, Jeudy will continue to be a volatile option in fantasy moving forward.
Jalen Nailor, WR, Vikings
Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jalen Nailor had his best game of the season, recording five catches for 124 yards and a touchdown on six targets in Sunday's 27-19 loss to the Baltimore Ravens. Nailor remains stuck behind star wideouts Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison on the Vikings' wide receiver depth chart.
However, Nailor seems to have some degree of chemistry with Minnesota quarterback J.J. McCarthy. In the four games McCarthy has started this season, Nailor has been targeted 18 times. The Vikings now have a very favorable matchup in Week 11 when they host the Chicago Bears. In deep fantasy leagues, Nailor could be worth adding off the waiver wire.
