Fantasy Football Sleepers: Plug holes in your Week 11 lineup with these 7 overlooked waiver-wire options

There were a couple of hits for the sleeper page last week, as Alec Pierce did his thing again and Parker Washington scored a couple of touchdowns, though the return touchdown was certainly unexpected. The other picks were middling, but that’s life in the sleeper streets. Let’s see what we can find in Week 11.

RB Tyler Allgeier vs. Panthers (41%)

He was hardly used when the Panthers thumped the Falcons back in Week 3, but Allgeier has five touchdowns in his last six games. While everyone understands Bijan Robinson is the elite talent in the Atlanta backfield, Allgeier is a good player and has carved out a weekly role, especially at the goal line. Double-digit touches and another touchdown are likely outcomes at this point; Allgeier has graduated from the one-injury-away list to a useful spot-starter as we navigate bye weeks.

WR Michael Wilson vs. 49ers (16%)

He’s an ordinary talent, but he has posted a reasonable 14-179-0 line over the last four games. Now an opportunity bump is likely, with Marvin Harrison Jr. (appendectomy) out for at least Week 11. Jacoby Brissett has been surprisingly useful as the stand-in Arizona quarterback, and the San Francisco defense is missing several key players.

WR Luther Burden III at Vikings (8%)

He had a quasi-breakout last week (3-51-0), taking advantage of DJ Moore’s shoulder injury. If Moore is out or limited this week, Burden can take a step forward. It’s common for rookie receivers to show improvement in the second half of the year, so it’s go time for Burden.

TE Dalton Schultz at Titans (46%)

Schultz has been managing a knee and shoulder issue of late, and the shoulder problem kept him out of Wednesday’s practice. But if he’s fine later in the week, we’ll look to use him against Tennessee. Schultz has 24 catches in four weeks, and was one of the primary reads for Davis Mills in the comeback against Jacksonville. Mills is another sleeper to consider, if he’s needed to start again for C.J. Stroud (concussion).

WR Mack Hollins vs. Jets (3%)

Hollins has made a career out of being sneaky-useful — he led the Bills in touchdown catches last year, a fun piece of trivia from Josh Allen’s MVP season. Injuries have pushed Hollins into a bigger role recently, and he has 89- and 106-yard games in his recent logs. The Jets defense is weaker against the pass.

QB Marcus Mariota at Dolphins (16%)

I understand if you want to ignore this Spain game entirely, or wash your hands of the injured Washington offense. But for those open-minded, remember Mariota has 20-40 rushing yards in his back pocket in any week, and Miami has allowed the eighth-most points to opposing quarterbacks.

TE Pat Freiermuth vs. Bengals (16%)

Arthur Smith loves to dig deep on his tight end depth chart — Freiermuth, Jonnu Smith and Darnell Washington all carry goal-line equity. This type of wide usage tree is usually a rough ride for fantasy purposes, but we can’t ignore that Cincinnati has allowed 722 receiving yards and 12 touchdowns to opposing tight ends, the ultimate giveaway. Freiermuth burned them for a 5-111-2 game a month ago, so he knows the way.
