Date:2025-04-14 18:00:30
Building a championship fantasy football roster requires several different components, from a strong draft to prudent in-season management to a little bit of luck.
At this stage of the season, we can't help you with the first part or the last part. But if you're looking to stay ahead of the curve, our weekly waiver wire suggestions could provide that winning edge. If you were around last week, you may have reaped the benefits of adding Quentin Johnston or Trey Benson.
Who else might be available this time around?

Fantasy football players to add for Week 11
Due to the wide variance in types of leagues and individual team needs, the players listed here are in the lowest to highest availability rates in Fantrax leagues, which may or not match rates on other platforms. (Suggested bid values based on $100 free agent acquisition budget for the season.)
NFL STATS CENTRAL: The latest NFL scores, schedules, odds, stats and more.
RB Gus Edwards, Los Angeles Chargers (37%)
In his first action since suffering an ankle sprain in Week 4, Edwards carried the ball 10 times for 55 yards. He didn't threaten J.K. Dobbins' status as the lead back, but he did see plenty of work in relief, even getting four carries inside the red zone (though Hassan Haskins came in to vulture a 1-yard TD). Look for Edwards to see even more work now that he's fully recovered. FAAB bid: $9.
RB Cam Akers, Minnesota Vikings (63%)
When starter Aaron Jones was carted off the field with a chest injury, Akers took over and saw his most extensive action in weeks. The results weren't all that great, with 13 carries for 38 yards and one 9-yard reception. He would have been an even more valuable pickup if Jones hadn't been able to return to action later in the game. Still, Akers is a good insurance policy. FAAB bid: $7.
TE Ja'Tavion Sanders, Carolina Panthers (63%)
After a big game in Week 9 and a touchdown on Sunday, Sanders has been building momentum ... only to have it slowed by a bye week. If you're in need of immediate help, perhaps Jonnu Smith (32%) or Taysom Hill (28%) are available. Otherwise, Sanders may be worth the wait. FAAB bid: $3.
RB Audric Estime, Denver Broncos (66%)
It's rare to find a lead back available on the waiver wire at this stage of the season, but that's exactly what we may have here with Estime. The rookie played more snaps than Javonte Williams and Jaleel McLaughlin combined on Sunday, rushing for 53 yards on 14 carries. And that was against a Chiefs defense that's been the toughest fantasy matchup for running backs this season. Audric could turn out to be golden for fantasy managers. FAAB bid: $20.
WR John Metchie, Houston Texans (82%)
Another of this week's fantasy sizzlers, Metchie was a pretty good comeback story, even before his big game on Sunday night. After posting a career-high five receptions for 74 yards and a touchdown, he showed he can help fill the void left by Stefon Diggs' season-ending injury -- even after top wideout Nico Collins returns. FAAB bid: $6.
WR Malik Washington, Miami Dolphins (85%)
The rookie opened the scoring on Monday night, taking a reverse 18 yards to the house for his first career touchdown. While it may not amount to much, Washington did show he has the one quality the Dolphins prioritize: speed. Look for him to get more opportunities on offense while he continues his punt return duties. FAAB bid: $3.
QB Trey Lance, Dallas Cowboys (86%)
A more viable option in two-QB leagues, Lance figures to see more action down the stretch with Dak Prescott seemingly out for the season and the Cowboys struggling mightily. The third overall pick in 2021 can't be worse than Week 10 starter Cooper Rush (13-for-23, 45 yards), so why not? He'll still have a pretty decent group of receivers -- as long as they don't play at home in the late afternoon. FAAB bid: $3.
WR Mack Hollins, Buffalo Bills (87%)
The well-traveled veteran leads all Bills receivers in snaps this season, but is perpetually overlooked. With Amari Cooper and Keon Coleman missing time, Hollins has become a greater factor in the offense the past two weeks. With Coleman already ruled out for Sunday's clash with the Chiefs, Hollins can be a potential flex play once again. FAAB bid: $6.
WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling, New Orleans Saints (93%)
The Saints are in dire need of healthy receivers, and MVS answered the call in a big way on Sunday. After hardly playing at all in Buffalo to start the season, Valdes-Scantling latched on with New Orleans and quickly became Derek Carr's favorite big-play target. He caught just three passes (for 109 yards), but two went for touchdowns vs. Atlanta. Another good matchup at home vs. Cleveland is on tap. FAAB bid: $10.
WR Tylan Wallace, Baltimore Ravens (98%)
Speaking of doing a lot with a little, Wallace had three targets on Thursday night, but turned them into 115 yards, the bulk of which came on an 84-yard catch-and-run. The Ravens' receiver room is pretty crowded with Diontae Johnson joining the mix at the trade deadline. But Wallace has enticing big-play ability that could pay off again for those in deep leagues. FAAB bid: $3.
