NFL Week 11 Waiver Wire: Top Pickups & Must Adds

Welcome to our weekly waiver wire blog where we break down the most important fantasy football pickups heading into Week 11.

Emari Demercado 

There’s a good chance he’s not on the wire in sharper leagues, but looking at public Yahoo leagues we can see he is owned in just over 35% making him a top option this week. We know he has pass catching ability, and Bam Knight is in jeopardy of missing the Cardinals Week 11 game against the San Francisco 49ers. 

Sean Tucker  

I’ve long been a Sean Tucker fan, and I’m completely honest when I say I believe him to be the superior back to Rachaad White. What I think doesn’t matter though as it pertains to the coaching staff, however we have seen Tucker cut into White’s role in recent weeks nearly matching him in carries. Bucky Irving still has no true timeframe to return from injury and I wouldn’t be surprised to see Tucker leapfrog White soon. 

Luther Burden 

Assuming that Tez Johnson is not available in your league, Burden checks in as my top WR pickup off the week. We’ve been waiting for his coming out party, and I’m very encouraged by what I saw against the Giants. We saw him run more routes out wide than in previous games, while DJ Moore continues to play banged up. There is definite room for Burden’s role to grow moving forward and he’s owned in under 10% of all Yahoo leagues.
