Week 11 Waiver Wire: Texans are the Target
Fantasy analyst Jen Piacenti is breaking down her top waiver wire adds for Week 11 of the NFL season.
Transcript
00:00 Hey, what's going on everybody?
00:01 It's fabs here.
00:02 And you know, it's that time of the week.
00:03 That's right.
00:04 The waiver wire, who should be targeting off the waiver wire to
00:07 help your team in week 11.
00:09 And for that, we have the one and only the princess of props, the best of the
00:12 business, Jen Piacenti to give us the players who she likes heading into this
00:17 week, Jen, let's start off with the quarterback position, which is a little
00:20 thin at this point on the waiver wire.
00:22 It is a little thin and hopefully you don't absolutely
00:24 need a quarterback this week.
00:26 I mean, the four teams that are on by hopefully you're not rolling, but
00:29 those quarterbacks, but someone that shouldn't remain on the wire.
00:32 If only so your opponent doesn't grab him.
00:34 Joshua Dobbs.
00:36 Joshua Dobbs is actually the QB for the past two weeks after
00:41 having moved to Minnesota.
00:42 And he's only getting Justin Jefferson back.
00:45 And the other interesting fact, he has the second most rushing yards among
00:49 quarterbacks and he's tired for the third most rushing touchdowns with Lamar Jackson.
00:53 So a lot of potential there for Joshua Dobbs to be a top 12 starter for the rest
00:58 of the season and with a lot of upside.
01:00 Carson Wentz is also out there.
01:02 I don't know if people want to take a shot on him with Matthew Stafford's
01:06 injury, but just a name to keep in mind, Devin Singletary at the running back
01:10 position coming off a game with 30 carries, which is bananas.
01:14 You like him moving forward or at least this week.
01:16 It is bananas.
01:18 It's a good matchup this week.
01:20 But in addition to that, it's just the fact that CJ Stratton has become so good.
01:24 If they can get this run game going, like they did last week, this team
01:27 is going to be phenomenal and it's going to open up more for the run game.
01:32 Right?
01:32 Devin Singletary.
01:33 We've seen him be good down the stretch before for the bills.
01:36 When he's given the opportunity, it looks like maybe the Texans have finally
01:39 figured out how to get him going 161 all purpose yards and touchdown.
01:43 He's also averaged more than three yards after contact in four games this season.
01:49 So look, Devin Singletary is a pretty good running back.
01:52 And even with Damian Pierce back, even if he comes back, I think Devin Singletary
01:56 will remain the lead back in this Texans offense.
01:59 He was already eating into Damian Pierce's playing time before Pierce got injured.
02:04 So I like Devin Singletary.
02:05 I understand he's rostered about 50% of leagues, but if that's the case, you
02:09 can still go get Keaton Mitchell, who I don't know why you guys didn't get him
02:12 last week, but hurry up, go.
02:14 He's given me Devon Achan vibes.
02:16 And then of course, Ty Chandler, who will probably be the lead back for Minnesota
02:20 this week versus the Broncos with Alexander Madison likely to miss
02:25 because of the concussion.
02:27 At wide receiver, we are going to stick in Houston who certainly
02:30 doesn't have a problem there.
02:31 Uh, let's talk about Noah Brown.
02:33 Yeah.
02:34 Two games in a row of 150 plus receiving yards.
02:37 And you know, maybe this is hard for us because the Dallas Cowboys didn't
02:41 keep him, but Dallas Cowboys look like they're doing just fine.
02:44 Also pick up Brandon cooks, by the way, Noah Brown is who we're
02:47 talking about right now, though.
02:48 Any of those Texans pass catchers you're going to want to have
02:51 on your team in a flex spot.
02:53 Now there are four viable weapons there in the receiving game for CJ
02:58 Stroud, Robert Woods has been healthy too, but with Nicole Collins out, we
03:02 saw Noah Brown had eight targets.
03:05 That was a 20%, 21% target share and 48% of the team's receiving yards.
03:09 So though tank Dell was more heavily targeted, Noah Brown
03:13 ended up with the bigger day.
03:14 It in any case, a couple of these wide receivers are going to go off in any
03:18 given week and of the three, you know, Collins Dell and Brown, you should,
03:26 you should have one, you should just have one and Brown's available.
03:28 So, so get them.
03:29 Even if you don't play him, get him.
03:30 Don't let your opponent get him.
03:31 Finally, a tight end.
03:33 Uh, we've got a budding superstar in the desert.
03:36 Yes, we do.
03:38 Trey McBride again, rostered in 50% of leagues.
03:41 I understand that, but wow.
03:42 With Kyler Murray, incredible 131 receiving yards, 53% of the
03:47 teams, uh, receiving yard share with a 28% target share.
03:51 That's exactly what you want to see in a tight end, a good
03:54 matchup this week versus Houston.
03:56 If you can't get McBride, then you could also try Luke Musgrave, who
03:59 has a great matchup this week and had a career high receiving game on Sunday.
04:02 Or Michael Merrier mayor, who seems to be getting more
04:05 playing time in Las Vegas.
04:07 That's it.
04:08 I can't believe we've been talking about so many Houston Texans past catchers,
04:11 but, uh, that's where we are right now.
04:13 CJ Stroud has been great.
04:15 Jen, you are the best and for everybody out there, of course, you can find all
