High-Upside Bench Stashes: Weekend Waiver Wire for Week 11 Includes Treylon Burks, Jaylen Warren, Ben Skowronek, Isaiah Likely

Parris Campbell - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, Waiver Wire Pickups

Kyle's must-have fantasy football bench stashes and waiver wire sleepers ahead of Week 11 (2022). He picks high-upside NFL players to stash on your fantasy teams.

Here in Week 11 the Jacksonville Jaguars, Miami Dolphins, Seattle Seahawks, and Tampa Bay Buccaneers are all on a bye. Week 12 won't feature any teams on bye (Thanksgiving weekend), but bye weeks will resume in Weeks 13 and 14. Even though defenses aren't mentioned in this article, if you have already clinched your fantasy playoffs you might want to start looking at the matchups in Week 15 and get your defense ahead of time now.

If your league has an injured reserve then it is easier to stash away players with upside, but if it does not you may not have the option of stashing away players this week if you are forced to field the best possible starting lineup. Last week one of the top mentions in this article to stash away was Tennessee Titans wide receiver Treylon Burks who was activated off of Injured Reserve ahead of Thursday Night Football against the Green Bay Packers. Burks didn't disappoint ripping off 7 catches on 8 targets for 111 yards and should be the Titans' No. 1 option in the passing game for the rest of the season.

Week to week, it is my job to keep my ear to the ground of all that is going on with 32 teams to help you bargain hunt for some free options on your league's waiver wire with the key being to stay ahead of your league mates by being early with your pickups versus having to spend up later with FAAB or waiver priority. A favorite stash who was in this article every week to start the season was Rachaad White and mow those who remained patient shall have their faith rewarded. As injuries occur across the league openings will occur for others who will step up in their place. Here are some top players to stash away before Week 11 begins.

Weekend Waiver Wire Stashes Before Week 11

Parris Campbell, Indianapolis Colts - 38% rostered

Campbell has been a great option for fantasy with Matt Ryan and bad without. Sometimes quarterbacks just have better chemistry with certain players and the Ryan - Campbell connection is evident in Indianapolis.

In his last 3 games with Ryan at the helm, Campbell has seen 32 targets and his numbers are as equally impressive with 24 receptions for 203 yards and 3 TDs.

The Colts have a tough matchup against the stout Philadelphia Eagles secondary, but Campbell has been on such a hot streak with Ryan that we might as well continue riding our free roll until it ends.

A former second-round pick of the Colts in 2019, Campbell had 3 injury-plagued and disappointing seasons to begin his NFL career. Now that he is healthy he looks like a solid player in the NFL and has been a good value for fantasy purposes.

With Jeff Saturday now coaching the Colts, the obvious tank job that was the Sam Ehlinger experience now appears to be over and it's likely their offense could be a viable one for fantasy the rest of the season as long as Jonathan Taylor continues playing. Campbell has been nothing short of a PPR monster of late and could be a viable depth piece for your teams the rest of the way.

Isaiah Likely, Baltimore Ravens - 27% rostered

Mark Andrews has been banged up of late and missed the Ravens' Week 9 matchup against the New Orleans Saints on MNF. He is still a game-time decision for this Sunday's contest against the Carolina Panthers, which could open up things for Likely. The 4th Round selection out of Coastal Carolina in the 2022 NFL Draft was the star of training camp and even had some nice preseason games for the Ravens.

With Andrews potentially missing the game, Likely could be the No. 1 option for the Ravens this week. With Andrews sidelined in the Ravens' previous game, Likely saw 5 targets and caught 1 of them for 24 yards and a TD.

He is a promising player even as a rookie. If you are hurting at tight end this week and Andrews doesn't play, Likely could be a great play for you on Sunday against Carolina.

While his upside is likely capped when Andrews does return, if the injury is more severe than initially let on, he would be an immediate play for fantasy every week he starts.

Likely is a great later stash in dynasty leagues as well. The 2022 rookie tight end class is already looking promising with Likely, Cade Otton, Daniel Bellinger, Greg Dulcich, and even Trey McBride who is set to play more this week with Zach Ertz injured.

Ben Skowronek, Los Angeles Rams - 8% rostered

With Cooper Kupp sidelined for at least the next 4 games, there is a chance that the Rams could just shut him down for the remainder of the season as the Rams are 3-6 on the year and appear on the cusp of missing the postseason altogether. Despite this development, they may be inclined to start playing some of their younger players to see what they have. One such player is Skowronek.

Last week against Arizona, Skowronek played 98 percent of the team's offensive snaps and saw a total of 7 targets with Kupp out of the lineup. Skowronek could potentially see a large share of targets for the rest of the season and could see plenty of work in the underneath and intermediate routes where Kupp thrived.

While Skowronek is no Kupp, he could be a viable option for fantasy due to the reality that the Rams can't get vertical down the field with their offensive line issues and Stafford's lingering elbow. Skowronek is an interesting stash for the ROS.

Treylon Burks, Tennessee Titans - 19% rostered

The 18th overall selection in the 2022 NFL Draft, Burks was starting to emerge as the top pass catcher on the Titans before being sidelined by a turf toe injury. He is a big-bodied receiver who can stretch the field. After spending the last four weeks on the Injured Reserve, Burks returned on Thursday night against the Green Bay Packers.

Burks shined on the national stage with 7 catches for 111 yards. He finally looked healthy and showed the big-play ability that he has which included a long gain of 51 yards. After the Titans traded A.J. Brown on draft night for the selection that became Burks, they have every intention of making him involved in the offense and even making him the No. 1 target.

We should expect the targets and the production to follow after the solid TNF performance. Before turning pro, Burks finished up his junior season at Arkansas with 66 receptions for 1,104 yards and 11 TDs. He is worth just about all of your remaining FAAB if you need help at receiver.

Jaylen Warren, Pittsburgh Steelers27% rostered

It's no secret that Najee Harris hasn't looked like his normal self this season after suffering a Lisfranc injury during training camp over the summer. While we haven't yet seen a lot of Jaylen Warren, he has easily looked like the more explosive running back between the two this season.

So far in 2022, Warren has 38 rushes for 190 yards (5.0 AVG) while catching 15 passes for 128 yards. He is a smaller but much faster running back than Harris and some have even begun comping him to a young Austin Ekeler.

While the Steelers did win last week, their 2022 season has been a disappointing one. Is there a chance that Harris could be shut down soon for the rest of the season? The Pittsburgh offense hasn't looked anything like its old self as they are near the bottom-five in just about every offensive category this season.

Warren should be rostered whenever possible. There have been rumors of Warren becoming more involved in the Pittsburgh game plan for the rest of the season and we should scoop him up now while he is free just in case.

Kyren Williams, Los Angeles Rams - 30% rostered

As mentioned above, the Rams are close to fully transitioning to the offseason in the wake of their 3-6 performance. Darrell Henderson is an unrestricted free agent at the end of the season and the team has already tried to trade Cam Akers but couldn't find a trade partner.

In place of those two realities, the Rams might want to see what they have in Williams for the rest of the season as their lead running back.

Kyren made his debut last week against the Cardinals. He didn't have a rushing attempt but he did have 3 receptions for 30 yards. Williams was a dynamic receiver out of the backfield in his time at Notre Dame and the Rams drafted him in the 5th Round of the 2022 NFL Draft.

Williams also excels as a pass blocker and appears to be the kind of a grinder that Sean McVay would want on his team. We have yet to see much from Williams so far as he was dealing with a foot injury to start the season, but we must be mindful that the Rams could be playing next year and just might want to see what they have in Williams.

Trestan Ebner, Chicago Bears - 3% rostered

After an unfortunate injury landed Khalil Herbert on Injured Reserve for the next 4 games, in steps Ebner who was a 6th Round selection by the Bears in the 2022 NFL Draft. So far Ebner hasn't played a lot this season, but he has 18 carries for 46 yards and 2 receptions for 8 yards.

We should expect David Montgomery to be a bell cow running back of sorts for the next 4 games, but we always want to remain conscious of who the next man up might be should an injury to the starter occur.

There is a chance that the Bears at 3-7 may want to shut Herbert down for the remainder of the season and not bring him back, which could greatly open things up for Ebner. Chicago's offense has looked a lot better over their last 6 games and offensive coordinator Luke Getsy has figured out how to properly use quarterback Justin Fields.

With this new development, the Chicago offense is a lot more viable for fantasy than we originally thought. While you can't start him at this time, Ebner is a player worth keeping an eye on from here on out.

Isaiah SpillerLos Angeles Chargers - 4% rostered

One of the dynasty community's favorite prospects this offseason, Spiller fell on draft day after a poor showing at the NFL Combine where he slipped into the fourth Round. He was mostly inactive for a large part of the early season but now appears to have earned the trust of the Chargers coaching staff.

Spiller is now listed as the Chargers' No. 2 running back on the depth chart to Austin Ekeler. While likely an injury would need to occur to Ekeler for Spiller to have major fantasy value, he is a player worth rostering for the rest of the season being how good we know their offense can be at full strength.

Mike Williams and Keenan Allen are expected back for this week's contest against the Kansas City Chiefs and the Chargers' offense could be back to looking like the high-powered one of old. Last week against the 49ers, Spiller had four carries for just 3 yards, but we all know how tough the 49ers' defense can be for opposing running backs.

Sony Michel and Joshua Kelley haven't been viable options for the team this year and they have needed a backup who can come in and spell Spiller in the worst way. So far that hasn't happened, but it's fair to say that Spiller has by far the most upside of anyone not named Austin Ekeler on the Chargers' depth chart, so he is a player worth rostering and holding just to see what happens.
