Waiver Wire Watchlist for Fantasy Football Week 11

Joey's fantasy football waiver wire watchlist before Week 11 of 2025. You should keep an eye on these emerging players and consider them waiver wire stashes.

Welcome to Week 11 of our fantasy football waiver wire watchlist for the 2025 NFL season. Week 10 featured some surprising performances from players who were available on the waiver wire, including WR Alec Pierce (four catches for 84 yards and a touchdown) and RB Devin Singletary (11 total touches for 73 yards).

You know the drill by now: All players listed in this article are rostered in less than 50% of fantasy football leagues, meaning that they are available more often than not. That's why Broncos WR Troy Franklin isn't on this list (he's owned in over 60% of leagues!).

With that being said, here are five players still on the majority of waiver wires who could help you make significant strides in your fantasy football league. Good luck on the waiver wire and happy hunting!

Waiver Wire Watch List - Running Backs

Blake Corum, Los Angeles Rams - 10% rostered

Corum has already been on this list multiple times, and that's not a coincidence. Not only is he playing for one of the league's best offenses, but the second-year running back is getting more consistent touches than he ever has before. Corum has received at least 13 touches in each of the last three games, and he's been pretty effective this year, averaging 4.6 yards per carry.

At 5-foot-8, 210 pounds, Corum is effective between the tackles and has more burst than you might expect. While he is not a particularly good receiver, having caught just four passes on the season, he is an effective change-of-pace back to Kyren Williams. The Rams' talented offense and destructive defense help them build big leads, allowing the team to rely on both Williams and Corum to see games out.

Williams is a good player and has improved his efficiency compared to 2024, but Corum is certainly deserving of a committee role. If Williams were to miss any time, Corum would instantly become a must-start and potentially even a fantasy RB1.

Managers who roster Williams should pick up Corum immediately if possible, as he's the clear starter if Williams misses any time. His current role and efficiency mean that he'd be a solid pickup for any manager in need of depth at the running back position.

Devin Singletary, New York Giants - 33% rostered

Following the season-ending injury to running back Cam Skattebo in Week 8, the Giants' backfield became wide open for whoever could seize the opportunity. Former starter Tyrone Tracy Jr. currently has the job, but he has been largely ineffective in the role. Enter Singletary: the veteran has served as a reliable starting running back before in his career, and could do so again for the remainder of the year.

Devin Singletary understood the assignment. That should ice the game for the @Giants!

The question is whether New York's coaching staff will hand the keys to Singletary following injuries to Skattebo and quarterback Jaxson Dart, or if they will continue to rely on Tracy. Both Skattebo and Dart were huge for the Giants' offense and specifically its rushing attack. While Tracy had a strong game in Week 11, running for 71 yards on 5.1 yards per carry, he is averaging just 3.9 YPC on the year, meaning his job is not safe.

While Singletary has also been ineffective this season (3.3 YPC), that could change with a different game plan and more volume. With head coach Brian Daboll fired due to his mismanagement of Dart, more running back touches could be available, which benefits Singletary as both a rusher and receiver.

Singletary may not earn the starting job right away, but he's still a solid pickup in deep leagues as long as he continues to operate in a committee role. It's fair to wonder if he is even good enough to win the job, but grabbing him off the waiver wire is a worthy gamble.

• Tyler Allgeier, Atlanta Falcons - 33% rostered
• Emari Demercado, Arizona Cardinals - 24% rostered

Waiver Wire Watch List - Wide Receivers

Alec Pierce, Indianapolis Colts - 40% rostered

The Colts' crowded receiver room - as well as a concussion - limited Pierce's opportunities early on in the year, but it now appears that he's a critical part of the team's offense. Following the trade of struggling youngster Adonai Mitchell, Pierce has earned more consistent opportunities and gained at least 65 receiving yards in four straight games. In the last two weeks alone, Pierce has 10 catches for 199 yards and a touchdown. His size and speed have made him the primary downfield threat in Shane Steichen's high-powered offense.

While Pierce is not seeing a ton of volume - he has just 28 catches on the year - he is almost guaranteed to make big plays due to the way he is being utilized in Indianapolis. He is averaging 20.9 yards per catch on the season and has caught a pass of at least 30 yards in six of the eight games he's played in 2025.

He's established a solid connection with Colts QB Daniel Jones and is playing in one of the NFL's best offenses. Pierce is a boom-or-bust fantasy starter for the rest of the season, but his boom weeks could help managers win crucial matchups. Pick him up immediately if possible.

Tez Johnson, Tampa Bay Buccaneers - 35% rostered

With the Buccaneers' top two wideouts, Mike Evans and Chris Godwin, sidelined due to injury, the WR1 in Tampa is rookie sensation Emeka Egbuka. Lining up across from him as the team's WR2 has been fellow rookie Tez Johnson. The former Oregon Duck has spread his wings in the NFL despite his extreme lack of size, weighing just 154 pounds at the NFL Combine.

While his usage has been inconsistent this season, Johnson was given a larger opportunity in Week 10 and posted a strong performance. The diminutive wideout caught four passes for 42 yards and found the end zone twice.

Johnson now has four touchdowns in his last four games and has established himself as a solid NFL wide receiver despite his lack of prototypical size and speed. While Egbuka will not relinquish his WR1 role to Johnson as long as he is on the field, both rookies will see plenty of targets if the Buccaneers' running game continues to struggle without Bucky Irving.

Make no mistake, Johnson is a good player and could be a league-winner if his volume increases while Evans and Godwin stay on the sideline. He's a solid WR3 in fantasy who can be started in good matchups.

Luther Burden III, Chicago Bears - 6% rostered

The highly-touted rookie has barely been involved in Chicago's offense this season, with fellow receivers Rome Odunze, D.J. Moore, and Olamide Zaccheaus all seeing the field more. But Zaccheaus has struggled with drops in recent weeks, and Burden's elite yards-after-catch potential means he shouldn't be kept off the field much longer. He caught three passes for 51 yards in the Bears' Week 10 comeback win, and head coach Ben Johnson told the media that Burden deserves more targets.

Not only is Burden great after the catch, but he is also an excellent deep threat. He's a speedster who excels at tracking the football, making him a terrifying matchup downfield. Chicago's running game is starting to turn the corner, and if Burden gets more involved, the passing game could do the same.

I believe that Burden brings much-needed explosiveness to the Bears' passing attack, which should endear him to the coaching staff and QB Caleb Williams. He's a high-upside bench option for now, with potential to develop into a flex option as the year goes on.

More WR Options:

• Parker Washington, Jacksonville Jaguars - 26% rostered
• Christian Watson, Green Bay Packers - 27% rostered
