Waiver Wire & FAAB Discussion prior to the Week 11 games (1 Viewer)

Jameis in Superflex leagues, I don't expect him to be a league winner but if you're like me and cobbling together Dalton/Luton/Washington QB as your 2nd then he's worth a flier.  

Ahmed if you need a RB in a deep league, he looked legit and should hold down the fort while Gaskin is out. 

I realized this morning that Meyers was still available in one of my 10 team leagues.  Worth checking to see if he's out there.

I'm nitpicking your post even though I liked it. Meyers as a 10-team guy seems really, really ambitious.

Perhaps.  It's a 2-flex PPR league (along w 2RB 2WR) so a little deeper than "typical" but his recent volume convinced me to scoop him up just in case

 
I like Michael Pittman this week.  From CBS..

Pittman might actually be the more interesting of the Colts waiver-wire targets ahead of Week 11, because unlike Hines, Pittman has very little competition if he really has established himself as the team's top target in the passing game. He led the team with eight targets (seven catches, 101 yards) in Week 11, and had seven targets for four catches and 56 yards in Week 9, his second game back from a leg injury since late September. The Colts are always going to include their running backs and tight ends in the passing game pretty heavily, but Pittman has shown he can have value if he gets the chance.

 
Josh Reynolds has a nice target share for LAR over the last 3 weeks.

Cooper Kupp ran 29 pass routes in the Rams' Week 10 win against the Seahawks. 

Meanwhile, Josh Reynolds ran 37 routes and Robert Woods ran 35 routes against Seattle. Reynolds paced the team with 10 targets. Kupp, who played just 53 percent of the team's offensive snaps, looked to be bothered by a wrist injury he sustained in Week 8 against Miami. Perhaps that explains his Week 10 usage. Either way, it's clear Reynolds is emerging as a weekly fantasy option for the Rams. Reynolds has a 22 percent target share over the team's past three games, second only to Kupp. He leads the team by a wide margin with 327 air yards in those three games.

Week 10 Player Highlight: Michael Pittman

Past two weeks:
(led the Colts WRs in all)
- 84% snap share
- 20% target share
- 27% red zone target share
- 35% air yard share

Indy desperately need a playmaker, and they drafted him to be one. Beautiful upcoming schedule. pic.twitter.com/AeMJsRkoes

 
Would like to pick up either Ahmed or Ballage, but not sure if either one is worth spending the #1 waiver priority on.  Both have a limited amount of time left as the unquestioned #1 RB, with Gaskin's and Jackson's/Ekeler's returns pending...although we don't know exactly when that will be.

Unless you're really hurting at RB this week, I wouldn't.

 
How we feeling about Pittman going forward? He popped on National TV and now he’s the hot pickup. Colts passing game still pretty anemic though.

Do you guys like him over a more dusty vet like Marvin Jones who has gotten thrown back into some player pools?

I love Jones while Golladay is out but Pittman should be a WR3 rest of season.

Roto has Pittman as their overall #1 top waiver priority fwiw.
 

1. Michael Pittman, Colts — Rostered in 10 percent of Yahoo leagues (Suggested 30-35% FAAB Bid)

While T.Y. Hilton continued his season-long streak of failing to exceed 70 yards or score a touchdown in any game this year, Pittman stepped in on Thursday and recorded the most targets (8), snaps (57), red zone targets (3), and routes run (38, 95%) among all of Indy’s wideouts. Rather than wasting our time guessing which of its running backs will lead in touches in a given week, it’s much easier to pivot to Pittman as a direct beneficiary of the Colts’ upcoming schedule (Packers, Titans, Texans, Raiders, Texans again). The rookie’s shallow 6.8 average depth of target (and ability to then turn upfield) lend him a higher floor-ceiling combo than the rest of Indianapolis' receivers, Hilton included.

Recommendation: Should be rostered in 10-team leagues

I just dropped Reynolds for Pittman as 5th WR as I think he will be more consistent going forward with fewer mouths to feed in Indy than in LA.

 
Personally debating between bye week QB replacement options of:

  • Cousins vs. DAL
  • Winston vs. ATL
  • Rivers vs. GB
None instill confidence, but thinking the "safe" play is Cousins & the highest floor/ lowest ceiling is Winston.
