If you have a week to save your FAAB budget or claim a transfer waiver, this is the week to do so. There isn’t much preference for getting the Week 11 fantasy waiver, so if you don’t need to fill it out, you should probably avoid the conflict and focus on the cheap free agents. However, if you are hungry for a player or two in a certain position, then you might actually outbid the likes of Rhamondre Stevenson, Jordan Howard, D’Onta Foreman, Rashod Bateman, Elijah Moore or Cam Newton over them. worthy.
As we will do weekly this season with the help of our friends at Virtual alarm, break down the top picks and predict how much of your FAAB budget you should bid on them.

Week 11 Fantasy Football FAAB Advice: Quit QB Receiver, Streamer
Mac Jones (NE). Early in the season, Jones struggled to complete steering shots and looked like a rookie. That is expected. But on Sunday we really saw him shine in front of a decent Browns defence. The passing volume wasn’t there for Jones, but he looked at every bit of an NFL quarterback. He completed 19 of 23 passing attempts from just 198 yards, but he also managed to get three touchdowns. New England won four games in a row, and it got the Falcons on Thursday before suffering a slightly tougher schedule after Thanksgiving. Jones gets better and better as the season goes on. Expected FAAB bid: 6-7% of the total budget
Tua Tagovailoa (MIA). There aren’t many midfield options available this week to feel great, but with the Dolphins playing last Thursday, there’s more time for Tua (finger) to recover. Even though he didn’t start the game last week, he was relieved and threw 158 yards and ran in a touchdown. The Dolphins will be playing the Jets next week and while it may have been an ugly game, the Jets allowed five straight midfielders to throw at least 250 yards and many touchdowns. Proj. FAAB Bid: 6%
Cam Newton (CAR). Newton won back with the Panthers this week, and despite the weekend signing, he made an impact, running and throwing for a touchdown. Usage was minimal, but with Sam Darnold (shoulder) injured, there was an opportunity for Newton to rekindle the old Carolina fire. Give him a full week of practice to get ready, and let’s see what he can do against Washington next week. Proj. FAAB Bid: 5-6%

Week 11 Fantasy Football FAAB advice: Ditch RB pickups, transmitters
Rhamondre Stevenson (NE). Stevenson is almost everywhere, and he looks great on Sunday. He went 100 yards on 20 attempts and found the end zone twice. His participation in the passing game was a pleasant surprise. He’s actually more involved than the usual Damien Harris. The bad news is that when Harris (concussion) returns, it’s likely he’ll take the bulk of the load. Players don’t usually lose their jobs to injuries, and as great as Stevenson looked, he can’t seem to take over the job entirely. Regardless, he’s going to be one of this week’s most replenished exemption rope picks. Expected FAAB bid: 15-20% of total FAAB budget
D’Onta Foreman (TEN). It’s hard to justify spending some FAAB premium money on Foreman this week. Still, he looks like the lead running back to Tennessee last Sunday, totaling 13 touchdowns and 78 yards in just his second appearance this year with the Titans. He, Adrian Peterson and Jeremy McNichols are essentially separated from the backstage area, but Foreman has led the team in games, so it’s a promising sign. Proj. FAAB Bid: 10-13%
Devonta Freeman (BAL). The demons looked horrible last Thursday night; however, Freeman continued to shoulder most of the work in the Baltimore backyard even after his three-game scoring streak came to an end. Some tough divisional confrontations are underway, but Freeman should continue to see his ownership grow based on the amount of work he’s taking on. Proj. FAAB Bid: ten%
Jordan Howard and Boston Scott (PHI). Sunday marked the third straight game in which Howard dashed at least 12 times, and while he failed to find the end zone, he made 83 yards. Boston Scott also saw double-digit carries, and was more involved in the passing attack, which is to be expected. The Eagles’ offense hasn’t always been consistent, but Howard should get at least a dozen carries per week as long as Miles Sanders (ankle) is out. Scott will probably get a similar number of touches. Because it is unknown when Sanders will return, these cases are worth owning. Proj. FAAB Bid: 7-10%
Matt Breida (BUF). In the end, it’s hard to feel great about starting any Invoice again. Breida’s involvement last week naturally caught everyone’s attention, especially when he scored twice. Of course, all three of Buffalo’s key RBs scored. Breida isn’t someone you can start with, but he’s not someone with bad depth. Proj. FAAB Bid: 3-4%
Wayne Gallman (ATL). Gallman is worth the additional speculation, as he led the team on Sunday’s performance. Given that Cordarrelle Patterson (ankle) could miss Thursday’s game, Gallman is more intrigued, but the game against New England is worrisome. Proj. FAAB Bid: 3-4%
WEEK 11 PPR ASSESSMENT:
Midfielder | Run back | Wide receiver | Tight ending | VND / ST | Kicker
Week 11 Fantasy Football FAAB advice: Give up WR pickups, transmitters
Elijah Moore (NYJ). Moore has now scored four goals in the past four games. During that time period, he also had at least six goals in each competition. Total yards are the same so far, but we’re seeing the Jets aggressively try and get the ball in his hand. The Jets have games against Miami, Houston, and Philadelphia coming up, and these could be key points for Moore to keep going through fantasy games. Expected FAAB bid: 10-11% of the total FAAB budget
Rashod Bateman (BAL). Bateman was quiet for most of Thursday’s game against Miami, but the offense finally started to emerge as he appeared late in the game. Now, he has back-to-back matches with eight goals and at least six goals in all four of his games. He hasn’t found an end zone yet, but it’s clear the offense will take place in the presence of Bateman. Proj. FAAB Bid: 8-10%
Van Jefferson (LAR). After the acquisition of Odell Beckham Jr., Jefferson’s stock was quite low. But after Robert Woods’ (knee) injury late last week, Jefferson’s stock quickly bounced back. However, as OBJ gets off to a quick start with the playbook, you have to imagine that the Rams will get him involved more in the offense. Proj. FAAB Bid: 5%
Robby Anderson (CAR). We haven’t really seen that big Anderson comeback since Week 1, but with Cam Newton back in Carolina, we’ll probably see him in more of the looks as Sam Darnolds for sure Doesn’t help the cause. When the Panthers incorporated PJ Walker and Newton into the game, Anderson finished with four catches of six targets and he found the final zone. Newton will be working with the first team this week, so it looks like he’s gearing up to start against Washington. Let’s see what happens from here. Proj. FAAB Bid: 4-5%
Gabriel Davis (BUF). Davis is not a freeloader because when the Bills are in full swing, he could be the fifth pass pick in this offense after Stefon Diggs, Cole Beasley, Emmanuel Sanders and Dawson Knox. Beasley was limited all last week with a rib injury and did not play a single shot in the second half while the Bills blew away the Jets. Davis went over 100 yards, and while he only saw three targets and clearly made the most of them. When Beasley is at his peak, we should expect to see his usual workload and double-digit goals, but Davis deserves to be on your radar. Proj. FAAB Bid: 2%
Josh Gordon (KC). Gordon has not been influential so far during his tenure with the Chiefs. He’s certainly not one to add, but Sunday night’s participation is a good sign of things to come. Did he get a target? No, but he was on the field with 33 attacks and running more lines than Mecole Hardman. If the Chiefs continue to get Gordon’s rep, we can assume they’ll want to get more of him on target as he becomes more familiar with the offence. Proj. FAAB Bid: 2-3%
Marcus Johnson (TEN). Seemingly just a league deeper, Johnson looked like the best-placed player in Tennessee in Week 10, catching five passes in the 100 yards. True, a lot of success can be attributed to the game, but he will also have another solid game next week. Julio Jones (hamstring) is on IR, which means he’ll miss the next few games. If he regresses to become nothing more than depth in position for Tennessee, he’s going to be a drop-off at no cost to you, but the chance for him to stand out is definitely there. . Proj. FAAB Bid: 1-2%

Week 11 Fantasy Football FAAB advice: Get rid of TE, transmitters
Dan Arnold (JAC). Arnold doesn’t depend on touchdown. Moving into Sunday, here’s how Arnold ranks among tight finishes in his past four games: Third on goal, third on catches, fifth on yards. He had a slightly slow start to last Sunday’s game against the Colts, but he ended up finishing on a strong stat line with five seven-goal catches in 67 yards and a two-point conversion. . Arnold is too good to constantly appear in this article. Expected FAAB bid: 10-12% of the total FAAB budget
Adam Trautman (NO). Since the Saints were forced to start a new quarterback following the injury of Jameis Winston, Trautman has seen an increasing role in offense. Trevor Siemian isn’t very good, as he makes some questionable decisions, but one that’s not in question is the attention he’s given Trautman. He has at least six goals in three consecutive games and nine catches in the past two. Everything is finally looking for Trautman. Proj. FAAB Bid: 4-5%
Cole Kmet (CHI). If you missed Arnold, the Kmet is a well-deserved consolation prize. Considering the Bears are coming up for goodbye week, the Kmet could be a forgotten commodity. In Week 9 against Pittsburgh, he caught six of eight targets within 87 yards, and overall, he’s on the right track. Proj. FAAB Bid: 3-5%
