Week 11 looks like a great time to be wide receiver shopping on the waiver wire. Some previously dropped guys now find themselves once again thrust into relevance, while many running backs are slowly working their way back into the good graces of fantasy owners as well. This is the time to be aggressive in season long leagues with remaining FAAB. Adding the right player can be a difference maker down the stretch for a fantasy team. There are three weeks before most leagues start their playoffs, so if your team has one last hot streak in it, now’s the time to find out!

Here’s the Snap Count Recap for Week 10:

RUNNING BACKS

Just when you dropped Ryan Mathews to the waiver wire, the Eagles decide to give him 26 snaps (compared to eight last week) and he made the most of them. Mathews carried the ball 19 times for 109 yards and two touchdowns. Frustrating doesn’t begin to describe the Eagles running back circus this year and if by some odd set of circumstances, you still own Mathews, this is your last chance to deal him. James Starks played 55 snaps for the Packers in his return, but he had just seven carries for 33 yards. Expect that number of carries to double in Week 11. C.J. Prosise saw his Week 9 snap count workload carry over to the tune of 54 snaps, 17 carries for 66 yards and seven catches for 87 yards last week. It was good enough for the Seahawks to send Christine Michael packing. However, the plot now thickens with the eminent return of Thomas Rawls. Logic would dictate Prosise will hold his value in full PPR leagues, but in ½-point PPR and standard formats his value is far from clear.

Don’t expect Rashad Jennings’ 15/87 spurt on 45 snaps to become the new standard. The Giants running game has been nearly nonexistent all year. Robert Kelley on the other hand is showing must more trustworthy. Kelley saw 42 snaps, carried the ball 22 times for 97 yards. He’s the clear No. 1 in Washington and a solid RB2 the rest of the season. Carlos Hyde returned to action but was abysmal averaging just a yard per carry on 13 carries and 42 snaps. That sort of output makes him bench fodder until further notice. Doug Martin held low expectations heading into his first action in weeks. Martin played 31 snaps, carried the ball 16 times for 33 yards and a touchdown and seems like a decent option for Week 11. LeGarrette Blount continues to be a strong play every week. Sunday night he saw 37 snaps, 21 carries for 69 yards and three touchdowns. Expect Blount to be a beast again versus the horrendous 49ers run defense this week.

WIDE RECEIVERS

Very quietly, Kenny Britt has found his way into fantasy relevance. On Sunday, Britt played 58 snaps, caught 7-of-10 targets for 109 yards. With Jared Goff taking over at quarterback his value is completely up in the air for Week 11 and the rest of the season. Oh well, it was fun while it lasted. Stefon Diggs played just 50 snaps but saw 15 targets catching 13 of them (for the second straight week) for 164 yards. Patrick Peterson will be shadowing Diggs this week and that could very well put an end to this mini tear he’s been on recently. Another WR who made the most of his time was the Chiefs’ Tyreek Hill. Hill played just 39 snaps, but caught 10 of his 13 targets for 89 yards. Even when Jeremy Maclin returns, the Chiefs should keep Hill active in the offense. He adds an explosive dynamic they’ve previously lacked.

With DeSean Jackson out last Sunday, Pierre Garcon saw his volume increase (52 snaps, 10 targets, six catches for 81). Jackson looks like he’s trending upward for Week 11, so don’t expect that volume to sustain for Garcon. Cameron Meredith (54 snaps) will be on the minds of many fantasy owners this week now that Alshon Jeffery is out on a suspension. However, Meredith has only two targets and one catch in each game since Jay Cutler returned to the QB position. Eddie Royal could quite possibly out target him this weekend, so keep your expectations low. Another old name resurfacing this week will be Michael Floyd who played 59 snaps catching 5-of-6 targets for 101 yards. He could very well have worked himself back into a starting role again. But perhaps Eli Rogers may be even more waiver wire worthy than any of these other WR’s. Rogers played 63 snaps with four catches for 42 yards and a touchdown. He plays the Browns this week and may be the DFS value WR of the week in terms of return on investment.

TIGHT ENDS

Greg Olsen continues to be the tight end snap count leader (playing another 73 last week), but his productivity seems to be waning in recent weeks as the Panthers have fallen out of contention. As expected, Jimmy Graham was limited by the Patriots to just 4 catches for 44 yards over 67 snaps. Expect him to improve those stats back in Seattle this weekend. Antonio Gates (58 snaps, four catches for 63 yards and a touchdown) continues to thrive in the Chargers offense after a slow start to the year. Cameron Brate has been the 2016 version of Gary Barnidge. He played 48 snaps and caught all seven of his targets for 84 yards and a score. After Rob Gronkowski suffered that massive hit Sunday night, Martellus Bennett picked up the slack (7-for-7 over 43 snaps with 102 yards). Bennett will be a TE1 in Week 11 if Gronk is ruled out. When all is said and done, Delanie Walker may be the most desirable fantasy TE in football right now. He caught 9 of 11 targets over 49 snaps for a whopping 124 yards and a TD. The Titans are on a roll and the big tight end has been an integral part of their passing game.
