Wide Receiver Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 11

Justin Carter's fantasy football wide receiver waiver wire pickups for Week 11 of the 2020 NFL season. These are free agent WRs to add, stream and stash.

The NFL season keeps on chugging along. How many of you expected Marquez Valdes-Scantling to lead all receivers on Sunday in fantasy points?

We're in the stretch run of the regular season now for fantasy managers. Wins become very important. Teams fall out of contention. If you're going to make a title push, it can't wait any longer.

Not all options are the same. Some players may be better in PPR or deeper leagues, so it’s not a one-size-fits-all comparison. Use your best judgment when deciding which of these players is the right fit for your roster. Check out our Waiver Wire Adds for Week 8 for help at all the skill positions. All players on this list here are around 30% rostered or below.

Jakobi Meyers, New England Patriots

48% rostered

HOW IS THIS NUMBER STILL SO LOW.

Meyers had seven targets to lead the Patriots on a night where the weather was terrible. He finished with five catches for 59 yards -- if that's his floor at this point, it's a nice floor. And yes, Meyers did throw for a TD, though that's obviously not happening again. Meyers is a weekly WR3 play with upside, so he should definitely be rostered in virtually all leagues.

Jalen Reagor, Philadelphia Eagles

26% rostered

Reagor's seven targets led the way for the Eagles on Sunday. He caught four passes for 47 yards and seemed to fully supplant Travis Fulgham's role, as Fulgham had just one catch. The rookie is trending up right now and has a great upcoming schedule, so get him on your roster.

Keelan Cole Sr., Jacksonville Jaguars

23% rostered

A punt return touchdown made his day look even better, but if you take that away, Cole still had five catches for 47 yards and a score on seven targets. He was out-targeted by Chris Conley, but I think Cole's scoring upside makes him a better player to roster than Conley. Still, his past two games had seen him catch just two total passes, so we have to acknowledge how much risk there is for Cole if you have him on a roster.

Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Green Bay Packers

17% rostered

Sure, Davante Adams doubled him in targets, but MVS made the most of his six targets, catching four passes for 149 yards and a touchdown. He showed off his big play ability and continued to stake his claim as the No. 2 receiver for Green Bay. The impending return of Allen Lazard will threaten that, but Valdes-Scantling has three touchdown receptions in the past two games and seems to be trending up right now. He's a decent WR4 option, though Lazard's return would mean that he'll have a super low floor if both receivers on the field Sunday against the Colts.

Michael Pittman Jr., Indianapolis Colts

10% rostered

Maybe the most frustrating receiving corps in the NFL, T.Y. Hilton has become droppably bad this year and we've been waiting for someone to break out. Maybe that someone is the rookie Pittman, who led the team with eight targets this week, catching seven of them for 101 yards. After missing a big chunk of the year with a leg injury, he's got 15 targets in the past two games and is becoming the favored option for Philip Rivers. He's got WR3 upside and should be a major priority on the wire this week.

Breshad Perriman, New York Jets

7% rostered

Before the bye week, Perriman caught five passes for 101 yards and two touchdowns against the Patriots. He's finally looking a little bit like the big play guy he was for Tampa at the end of 2019 and has the most upside on this Jets offense, even if that upside is...still not high because of the whole "plays for the Jets" thing.

Jakeem Grant, Miami Dolphins

5% rostered

With Preston Williams on IR, someone's got to step up for Miami across from DeVante Parker. This week, it was Grant, who turned five targets into four receptions for 43 yards and a score. I'm not, like, overly excited about Grant at this point, but with 10 targets in the past two games, he's an emerging weapon for Tua Tagovailoa and has deep-league appeal.

Josh Reynolds, Los Angeles Rams

5% rostered

Reynolds led the Rams in targets with 10 this week, catching eight for 94 yards. Can we mostly attribute this to the Seattle defense? Normally, I'd say yes, but this is the third game in a row where Reynolds has at least eight targets. He's rosterable in 12-team leagues because of his target upside.

K.J. Hamler, Denver Broncos

4% rostered

Second game in a row where Hamler was targeted 10 times. This week, he caught four of those for 50 yards. While not an exciting option, Denver's bad and will need to throw a lot in the second half of games, which will mean continued opportunities for Hamler. He should be added in deeper leagues, where he's a decent emergency flex play.

Willie Snead IV, Baltimore Ravens

1% rostered

Things are weird in Baltimore. Marquise Brown has just six catches since the team's Week 7 bye. He's looking less and less like the promising, big-play receiver we thought Baltimore was drafting last season. But that's giving more chances to the veteran Snead, who has 14 catches over that same time span. Five of those came against the Patriots, as Snead finished with 64 yards and a pair of touchdowns. The role he seems to be occupying in Baltimore isn't a great one, but Snead's a decent boom/bust guy in deeper formats and should definitely see his rostered percentage rise this week.
