Houston Texans rookie wide receiver
Jayden Higgins had his best game of the season in Week 10 against the Jacksonville Jaguars, catching five of his seven targets for 42 yards and a touchdown. Higgins has seen his route share creep back below 50% in the past two games with
Nico Collins back in the lineup, but he was still productive in his limited opportunity. Notably, the rookie wideout ran more routes than veteran
Christian Kirk for the first time this season when both are active. That will be a number to monitor for Higgins moving forward to see if he can establish himself as one of the team's top targets alongside Collins. The rookie second-rounder has intriguing upside as an add off the waiver wire in 12-team leagues for Week 11.

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver
Tyler Lockett had his best game of the season during their Week 10 loss to the Denver Broncos, catching five of six targets for 44 yards in his second game with the team. Lockett reunited with Raiders head coach Pete Carroll and quarterback
Geno Smith, signing with the team on October 27. The 33-year-old wasn't productive in his short stint with the Tennessee Titans, catching just 10 of 21 targets for 70 yards in seven games. The veteran showed that he still has something left in the tank against the Broncos, with his five receptions being the most since Week 4 of last season with the Seahawks. Lockett has familiarity with Smith and should have the opportunity to run plenty of routes after the Raiders traded
Jakobi Meyers to Jacksonville. Lockett could be a target off the waiver wire in deeper leagues for Week 11.

Baltimore Ravens tight end
Isaiah Likely had a quiet game in his team's Week 10 win over the Minnesota Vikings, recording two catches for 17 yards. However, Likely saw a season-high five targets. In the two full games he has played with Ravens quarterback
Lamar Jackson this season, Likely has been targeted nine times, hauling in five catches for 77 yards. The presence of veteran tight end
Mark Andrews in Baltimore limits Likely's playing-time upside, as he's played fewer than 59% of the Ravens' offensive snaps in each of their past three games. Still, Likely has proven he can be productive when Jackson is under center for Baltimore. Across 16 games with Jackson in 2024, Likely recorded 42 catches for 477 yards and six touchdowns on 58 targets. Heading into a Week 11 matchup against the Browns, Likely could be a decent stash candidate for fantasy managers to pick up off the waiver wire.

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver
Brandon Aiyuk (knee) remains without a concrete timetable to return after head coach Kyle Shanahan confirmed that the team will not open his 21-day practice window this week. Aiyuk has made steady progress in his recovery after tearing his ACL and MCL in Week 7 against the Kansas City Chiefs last season, but is still not quite ready to practice. The 27-year-old should be able to return at some point this season, but it's uncertain when that will be. Shanahan is "pretty confident" that Aiyuk will play this season, though he will likely be on a pitch count and won't be fully unleashed until next season following such a serious injury. Fantasy managers who have been stashing Aiyuk on injured reserve shouldn't expect much production if he can return this season, and if crunched for roster spots, he is likely safe to leave on the waiver wire.

Before a Week 10 bye, Cincinnati Bengals tight end
Noah Fant had begun to emerge as a more consistent feature of his team's passing game. In his final three games played before the bye, Fant recorded nine catches for 113 yards and two touchdowns on 10 targets. In Week 11, the Bengals will take on the Pittsburgh Steelers. Fant arguably had his best game of the season in Week 7 against Pittsburgh, hauling in four catches for 44 yards and a score. If the Week 11 matchup between Cincinnati and Pittsburgh proves to be another shootout, Fant could have an opportunity to find the end zone again. In deep fantasy leagues, Fant could be a decent streaming option for managers navigating injuries at the tight end position.

New England Patriots rookie wide receiver
Kyle Williams made the first big play of his career in Week 10, recording a 72-yard touchdown catch in his team's 28-23 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. With Patriots wideout
Kayshon Boutte (hamstring) sidelined by a hamstring injury, Williams played a career-high 56% of New England's offensive snaps against Tampa Bay. If Boutte remains out for the Patriots' Week 11 matchup against the New York Jets on Thursday night, Williams could have another chance to make an impact. Boutte was listed as a limited practice participant on Monday's injury report. Even if Boutte returns, Williams could still be worth stashing off the waiver wire in deep fantasy leagues as a player on the rise.

New England Patriots wide receiver
Kayshon Boutte (hamstring) missed Week 10's win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers due to a hamstring injury, but was estimated as a limited participant in practice on Monday. It's positive to see that Boutte listed as limited after not being able to practice at all last week. However, with the quick turnaround to face the Jets on Thursday night, it wouldn't be surprising if Boutte was held out for one more week, as hamstring injuries can be tricky. The 23-year-old has been a valuable piece of New England's offense, serving as a big-play threat for
Drake Maye. If Boutte were to miss his second straight game,
Mack Hollins,
DeMario Douglas, and rookie
Kyle Williams will see bumps in routes and targets.

New York Giants rookie quarterback
Jaxson Dart (concussion) was forced to exit early from his team's Week 10 loss to the Chicago Bears after suffering a concussion. The injury puts Dart's status for New York's Week 11 matchup against the Green Bay Packers in question. The 22-year-old was having an excellent game against Chicago before getting injured, completing 19 of 29 pass attempts for 242 yards and adding 66 rushing yards and two touchdowns with his legs. Dart has six rushing touchdowns in his last five games played, establishing him as one of the premier dual-threat fantasy quarterbacks in the NFL. If he is sidelined in Week 11, the Giants could turn to veteran
Russell Wilson or veteran
Jameis Winston under center. Both quarterbacks would likely hold minimal fantasy appeal in a difficult matchup against Green Bay.

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver
Tre Tucker was held in check by the Denver Broncos in Week 10, recording just two catches for 28 yards on three targets. However, Tucker will get a significantly easier matchup in Week 11 when the Raiders host the Dallas Cowboys. After Las Vegas traded away wide receiver
Jakobi Meyers at the trade deadline, Tucker profiles as the clear number two option in the team's passing game behind tight end
Brock Bowers. The 24-year-old Tucker has quietly been productive this season, recording 34 catches for 455 yards and four touchdowns on 46 targets across nine games. With a favorable matchup awaiting him in Week 11, Tucker should be a waiver-wire target for fantasy managers in leagues with 12 or more teams.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver
Christian Watson had an underwhelming game in his team's Week 10 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, recording two catches for 45 yards on four targets. Still, Watson's fantasy outlook could be trending upwards coming out of the game, as Packers wideout
Romeo Doubs (chest) was forced to exit Week 10 early due to a chest injury. In three games since returning from a knee injury that delayed his start to the season, Watson has recorded eight catches for 188 yards on 12 targets. Watson is averaging 23.5 yards per reception, which demonstrates his big-play ability. If Watson can earn a few more targets going forward, he could be in line for some explosive weeks. Additionally, the Packers have a much easier matchup in Week 11 against the New York Giants. In fantasy leagues with 12 or more teams where he remains available, Watson should be a waiver-wire target.

Before his team's Week 10 bye, Tennessee Titans rookie wide receiver
Chimere Dike appeared to be working his way into a larger role in the offense. In his final three games before the bye, Dike recorded 12 catches for 168 yards and a touchdown on 15 targets. The 24-year-old also played 89% and 87% of Tennessee's offensive snaps in their final two games before the bye. The Titans could be getting veteran wide receiver
Calvin Ridley (hamstring) back from a hamstring injury in Week 11 against the Houston Texans, which could definitely impact Dike's playing time. Still, the 1-8 Titans have every reason to lean into their youth and see what they have in Dike. In fantasy leagues with 14 or more teams, Dike should be a waiver-wire target.

The Cleveland Browns will not open the 21-day practice window for quarterback
Deshaun Watson (Achilles) this week, despite him showing great progress in his recovery, according to Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com. Watson continues to recover from the injury suffered in Week 7 of last season, in addition to a re-rupturing of his Achilles, but isn't quite ready to practice yet. It remains uncertain if he will return this season or play for Cleveland at all in the future. In the meantime, rookie
Dillon Gabriel will continue to start at quarterback for Cleveland.

Atlanta Falcons running back
Bijan Robinson rushed 17 times for 84 yards in Sunday's 31-25 overtime loss to the Colts, adding two catches for four yards in the contest. It was the third straight week without a touchdown, though, currently sitting with two rushing and two receiving scores on the season. Fellow running back
Tyler Allgeier scored twice, however, and now has six rushing touchdowns on the season, despite totaling 79 touches for 290 yards from scrimmage compared to Robinson's 178 touches for 1,146 yards. The problem for fantasy managers was glaring in Sunday's game, which was that Allgeier received five red zone attempts while Robinson saw only one. Allgeier doesn't get much work, especially if the Falcons are playing from behind, but he's getting a lot of the carries that matter when games are close, and Atlanta's next few games should be competitive (CAR, @NO, @NYJ). Although Robinson drew only two targets on Sunday, his work in the passing attack typically provides a solid floor for fantasy, but the lack of touchdowns is concerning. Nevertheless, he should be a top-five option at the position in Week 11 against Carolina, a defense that gave up 146 yards from scrimmage to running backs this past week.

Cleveland Browns rookie tight end
Harold Fannin Jr. ranks second on the team in total targets on the season, trailing only wide receiver
Jerry Jeudy. Fannin recorded four catches for 44 yards on seven targets in Cleveland's Week 10 loss at the New York Jets. The rookie third-rounder has been a consistent piece of the offense from the start, playing at least 60% of the snaps in every game this season. Fannin has caught at least four balls in five straight games and has been one of the most productive rookie pass catchers in the league despite a poor offensive environment in Cleveland. Fannin has the fifth most receiving yards (396), third most receptions (42), and the fourth most targets (57) among all rookie wide receivers and tight ends. Fannin will rank as a borderline TE1 in Week 11 against the Baltimore Ravens.

Washington Commanders rookie running back
Jacory Croskey-Merritt had started every game since Week 5, but his recent struggles led to the team starting third-year back
Chris Rodriguez Jr. in Week 10 against the Detroit Lions. Rodriguez ended up leaving the game early due to a shoulder injury, but he played 72% of the snaps in the first half compared to Croskey-Merritt at 16%. As a result of the injury and the game being out of hand, the rookie seventh-rounder played 65.4% of snaps in the second half. It was still another inefficient outing on the ground for the 24-year-old with just 30 yards on 11 carries. Croskey-Merritt hasn't surpassed four yards per carry in a game since his 150-yard, two-touchdown performance in Week 5 against the Chargers. Rodriguez's status will be updated throughout the week as the Commanders travel to Madrid to take on the Dolphins in Week 11, but it looks like Croskey-Merritt has lost grip on the starting running back duties in Washington.
