Week 11 Adds

This post will provide a list of some of the best available waiver pickups for this upcoming Week 11 and beyond. Almost all of the players (Tim Tebow, Ben Tate, Roy Helu, Laurent Robinson) listed in last week's post, Week 10 Adds, a couple (Chris Ogbonnaya and Brent Celek) from the previous week, Week 9 Adds, and DeMarco Murray mentioned in Week 8 Adds are still good waiver adds if they are still available. Without rambling anymore, here's the list:

Carson Palmer- he has shown that his arm is still strong enough and with the amount of weapons around him, he has been able to put up some great fantasy numbers. The major concern is interceptions, but if you really need a quarterback after the recent avalanche of bad news then Palmer is not a bad choice.

Kendall Hunter- fragile Frank Gore is injured again and Hunter stands to benefit. Gore played only about one half in Week 10 and is expected to play in Week 11, but the question is how much? Even if Gore is active and starts on Sunday, Hunter will at least get some carries and more if Gore re-injures himself. Hunter can also be seen as a pickup for the future with the 49ers likely to rest Gore after they clinch the division.

Lance Ball- the Broncos lost Knowshon Moreno for the season in Week 10 and Willis McGahee was limited in practice on Tuesday. Denver hosts the New York Jets on Thursday Night Football and Ball should at worst be the backup running back in Denver's new rushing almost every play offense and if McGahee is unable to go then Ball will be in line for 30+ carries.

Denarius Moore- another week, a different Raiders receiver in here. Last week it was Jacoby Ford and this week it is Moore's turn. It is hard to predict how Oakland's receiving core will shake out, but for now the spotlight is back on Moore. Just be prepared for when it inevitably shifts away to someone else.

Earl Bennett- he led the Bears in receptions and receiving yards for the second straight week. In the last 2 weeks, Bennett has accounted for 11 receptions for 176 yards and a touchdown. As long as he can stay healthy, he should continue to flourish in Mike Martz' offense.

Damian Williams- he is closing in on the top receiving spot on the Titans. In the last 2 weeks, he has been targeted 14 times, which has resulted in 9 receptions for 141 yards and 2 touchdowns. He should be able to continue putting up some nice numbers.
