Fantasy Football Week 11: Kevin Smith and Waiver Targets to Pick Up

NFL players are like ticking time bombs. They don’t explode right away, but when they finally do, damage is aplenty.

The following players didn’t blow up out of the starting blocks, but they had huge games in week 11. This trio is worth adding:

3. Kevin Smith

Before this past week, Kevin Smith hadn’t played in an NFL game since Week 10 last season. He looked like a future Pro Bowler as a rookie, but injuries destroyed his career…well, at least a chunk of it. Smith is back and better than ever.

The Detroit Lions running back rushed for 140 yards and two touchdowns on an insane 8.8 yards a pop against the Carolina Panthers. Jahvid Best’s return may not come in 2011. As long as he remains out, Smith will put up Best-like numbers for the Lions.

2. Matt Moore

Matt Moore is a Tony Sparano fan. He sure is playing like he wants to keep his coach around.  Moore threw for three touchdown passes against a Buffalo Bills defense that intercepted Tom Brady and Michael Vick four times a piece.

Miami has won three straight games after starting off 0-7. In those three contests, Moore has been extremely efficient throwing six touchdowns to just one interception while completing about 70 percent of his passes. The former Carolina Panther is worth adding as a backup QB.

1. Torrey Smith

If Torrey Smith hasn’t been picked up in your league yet, add him without a second thought. He isn’t putting up fluke numbers like he did in his three-touchdown debut. Smith is now a key part of the Baltimore Ravens offense.

The Ravens couldn’t have beaten the Pittsburgh Steelers without him. After an off-game against the Seattle Seahawks, Smith bounced back, catching six passes for 165 yards and a touchdown against the Cincinnati Bengals. He is putting up numbers worthy of a starting fantasy wide receiver.
