Week 11 Waiver Wire: Early Pickups and Breakout Fantasy Football Candidates

NFL Week 10 has featured some wild fantasy developments.

Tennessee Titans running back DeMarco Murray tossed a touchdown pass to tight end Delanie Walker.

Dallas Cowboys rookie Ezekiel Elliott had three touchdowns, two of them on the ground and one through the air.

But we expect those players to do well from week to week. What about the less obvious fantasy stars? What about players on the rise?

The following players are owned in fewer than 60 percent of Yahoo leagues and are worth considering for your lineup in Week 11.

Jared Goff, Quarterback, Los Angeles Rams

Disclaimer: Obviously, Jared Goff is a prospective pick looking ahead to Week 11. He is not even guaranteed to play. 

But fantasy is as much about forecasting trends as it is about knowing which players have already produced this season, and you never want to miss on an up-and-coming player or see them go to an opponent's team. 

Don't pick up Goff if you like your starting quarterback and he's already had his bye week. But if you have an empty bench spot and will need quarterback depth, he's an intriguing option. 

As ESPN's Adam Schefter reported Sunday, the Rams could start Goff as early as next week against the Miami Dolphins. 

Goff is an especially intriguing pickup in dynasty leagues, where anyone who may have drafted him might have already dropped him, frustrated with his banishment to the bench. 

Kenny Britt, Wide Receiver, Los Angeles Rams

Two Rams players in one fantasy advice article? Is this a bizarre alternate reality?

No, but we can all agree: If you have to have a Ram on your fantasy team who is not named Todd Gurley, Kenny Britt is the one to have. 

Britt had seven receptions for 109 yards on Sunday against the New York Jets. He's scored 111.40 points so far on the season, with 37 receptions for 584 yards and three touchdowns. 

He's the 27th receiver in the league in scoring, and if you're in a 12-team league, that's good enough to earn a spot in your flex position.

Britt is currently only owned in 57 percent of leagues, and may be worth a look for your Week 11 lineup.

Cameron Brate, Tight End, Tampa Bay Buccaneers

At the end of the afternoon games on Sunday, Cameron Brate was the second-highest-scoring tight end in fantasy in Week 10. 

Brate, who had 21.40 points in Week 10, had seven receptions for 84 yards and a touchdown as the Buccaneers took on the Chicago Bears. 

As Pewter Report shared on Twitter, Brate had already reached career highs in receptions and yards in the first half of the game:

And, if you're looking for reliability, ESPN's Matthew Berry has noticed a trend: Brate now has three straight games with a touchdown.

Especially if you play in a league that allows you to play multiple tight ends, or a tight end in your flex position, Brate has high upside and is definitely work a look on waivers.
