Week 11 fantasy football waiver wire pickups for Darius Slayton, Kyle Williams, Chris Godwin in 2025. Read their waiver wire outlooks for fantasy football.
Injuries and bye weeks continue to force fantasy managers to adjust their lineups on the fly. That is especially important with just three weeks left (for most) in the fantasy regular season.
Now is the time to attack the waiver wire to try and optimize your lineup’s ability to make a run through the fantasy playoffs to try and secure a championship. One way to do that is to identify and target wide receivers who have upside over the final weeks of the fantasy season.
Three such receivers are Darius Slayton, Kyle Williams, and Chris Godwin. Are any of them worth adding off waivers? Read below to find out.

Darius Slayton Week 11 Waiver Wire Pickups
Darius Slayton was on his way to an excellent game against the Chicago Bears, catching all four of his targets for 89 yards, including arguably the most impressive catch in Week 10.

Unfortunately, Slayton was limited to a 61.6% snap share thanks to a hamstring injury. The veteran receiver was able to return in the second half but had a minimal impact in a loss for the New York Giants.
Slayton has really come on over the last two weeks for the Giants, catching nine of 11 targets for 151 yards. More importantly, New York’s passing attack has completely consolidated between Slayton, Wan'Dale Robinson (21 targets), and Theo Johnson (14 targets) the past two weeks.
Unfortunately, some significant changes are coming for this offense starting in Week 11. For one, we will need to wait and see if Jaxson Dart can clear concussion protocol. Additionally, the Giants offense could look different in Week 11 after the firing of head coach Brian Daboll. None of that includes how well his hamstring responds after tightening up against the Bears.
If Slayton is healthy, he is certainly worth rostering given his role in a condensed Giants passing attack.
Kyle Williams Week 11 Waiver Wire Pickups
The injury to Kayshon Boutte opened an opportunity for 2025 third-round pick Kyle Williams in Week 10. The rookie had a season-high 55.7% snap share but was still targeted just two times against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. However, he was able to take one of those targets 72 yards for a touchdown.

Williams was able to showcase the explosive speed that helped him be a third-round pick in 2025. Unfortunately, he also finished fourth on the team in targets behind Mack Hollins (10), Stefon Diggs (eight), and Hunter Henry (four).
There isn’t much reason to believe that Williams did enough to earn a consistent role in the offense when Boutte is healthy enough to play. From Weeks 1 to 8 (when Boutte was healthy), Williams averaged a 17.8% target share with five targets in eight games.
Boutte has been logging limited practices ahead of Week 11’s matchup against the New York Jets, but may need to sit another week with a Thursday game on the horizon. If Boutte sits, Williams will once again have an expanded role for the Patriots.
Williams is worth a speculative add on waivers, but fantasy managers should not throw a large amount of FAAB on him. In leagues with priority order, it is better to shift your attention to players who have larger roles that aren’t completely tied to the health of a teammate.
Chris Godwin Week 11 Waiver Wire Pickups
2025 has not gone as the Tampa Bay Buccaneers or Chris Godwin had hoped. It was always expected that Godwin would take time getting healthy after suffering a dislocated ankle during the 2024 season. However, there was hope that he would return and contribute eventually in 2025.
To Godwin’s credit, he did return despite getting a second procedure on the ankle this spring. Godwin returned to the field in Week 4, catching six of 14 targets for 52 yards in his first two games. Unfortunately, he suffered a fibula injury during that time and has not been seen since.
Head coach Todd Bowles has already come out and said that Godwin does not have a timeline to return this season and is not expected to take the field in Week 11’s matchup against the Buffalo Bills.
At this point, Godwin’s season feels like a bust. He isn’t a player who should be grabbed off waivers, given the lack of clarity on if, or when, he will return to the field.
