If you're still struggling over who may give you your best shot at getting those final five-15 points to steal your Week 11 contest in your fantasy league, this is the article for you.

Obviously if you're in the rare situation where you still have an open spot or still haven't decided between some lesser-known Monday night options, it's time to get some information on who is your best bet to rescue you this week.

With guys like Matt Schaub, Chris Johnson, Steve Slaton, and Andre Johnson on other teams or already must-start's in your line-up, here are the guys that could help you out that are either on your bench, or could be available in the waiver wire:

James Casey, TE, HOU VS. Bo Scaife, TE, TEN

We're voting for Casey to be the Houston dark-horse for tonight, as well as a huge sleeper pick for the rest of the season. Casey is still going to be coming off the bench behind the current starter, Joel Dreesen, simply because he isn't an elite blocker.

However, Casey is fully recovered from a knee injury that held him out of Houston's last contest, and head coach Gary Kubiak has vouched for him, saying that he'll be a big part of what Houston is trying to do for the stretch run.

Scaife is beyond average, and is really only a candidate for 2-3 catches in any given week. Go with Casey's upside, as he should begin his attempt to take over for the injured Owen Daniels in front of the nation.

Kenny Britt, WR, TEN, VS. Kevin Walter, WR, HOU

Walter saw his looks and production increase in his last game, and considering his five catches were the most he's had since his first game of the season.

He'll obviously be more involved as the season goes on, but with tempting rookie tight end James Casey expected to take over Owen Daniels' role in the offense, it's a safe bet that Walter's production will still remain fairly inconsistent.

We like him this week, but we don't love him, and even more importantly, we refuse to vouch for him.

Kenny Britt, on the other hand, had 55 yards last week as the starter with Justin gage missing action with a back injury. Gage is out again, and with Houston's pass defense lacking great depth, Britt could see some positive results much like he experienced earlier in the season. Go with Britt this week over the inconsistent Walter.

For the remaining options for Monday Night's game, go here.
