It’s important to know the top waiver wire targets for each week of the fantasy football season. Beyond the top targets, though, there is benefit to improving your bench and stashing players that are forecasted to increase in value. We’ll also be a great resource for these waiver wire stashes. Here’s a look at players you should consider stashing this week. And here is all of our fantasy football Week 11 waiver wire advice.

Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Stash Targets
Running Back Stash Candidates
As expected, the Dallas Cowboys rotated Rico Dowdle in for quite a few snaps to relieve Tony Pollard in Sunday’s easy win over the Giants. Dowdle responded with 79 rushing yards on 12 attempts and a late touchdown plunge. He remains one of the most important handcuffs in fantasy.
Kenneth Gainwell is only considered a stash because most fantasy managers don’t realize how much of a role he has in Philadelphia. Gainwell sees a lot of action alongside D’Andre Swift but is very dependent on game flow. He has scored a touchdown in two of his last three games and would be a very intriguing player if Swift were to go down.
Similar to Dowdle, Elijah Mitchell backs up a bell cow RB. The difference between them is that Kyle Shanahan never lets Christian McCaffrey off the field. Mitchell carries no value unless CMC misses time, in which case he would require the Brinks truck in FAAB to acquire him.
Wide Receiver Stash Candidates
Zay Jones is a known commodity at this point. If (which is a big if) he is healthy, we know Trevor Lawrence‘s love for Jones in the red zone. The big question for Jones is when (or if) he will be healthy for the remainder of the season. If your roster needs wide receiver help but you are sitting pretty in the win column, stash Jones. He could be a stretch run difference-maker if his knee complies.
Jonathan Mingo is an interesting stash candidate if you have the bench room. With three games this season with at least seven targets, Mingo has been getting enough volume to make some noise if QB Bryce Young can get it together. After Mingo’s Week 11 date with Dallas, his schedule opens up a bit with games against the Titans and Buccaneers, whose secondaries have been WR-friendly.
A.T. Perry is a player I liked quite a bit as a prospect during this past NFL Draft cycle. His numbers popped in deeper metrics as a receiver who can not only beat zone coverage but also have success against man coverage. With Michael Thomas sustaining a knee injury in Week 10, Perry came off the bench to lead the New Orleans wide receivers in snaps and garner four targets. If Thomas misses time, Perry could become the WR2 in this offense.
Michael Wilson didn’t blow up with a monster game in Kyler Murray‘s first week back, but he did manage an 18.7% target share and nearly got into the end zone. Murray looked fantastic in his return. The arrow is pointing up for Wilson, so stash him now before the big game happens.
