Patrick Taylor- RB- Packers

With Aaron Jones suffering from a MCL sprain, Patrick Taylor might see more carries in the upcoming games. A.J. Dillion will get the start and most of the touches, but Taylor's role should change in a good way. If anything happens to Dillion, Taylor would be an automatic starter for most fantasy owners. The Packers face the Vikings in week 11, whose defense has given up the 11th most fantasy points to wide receivers in the season. Dillon will start, but Patrick is worth rostering for a buck this week.

 

Kendrick Bourne- WR- Patriots

If you need a wide receiver this week to fill in for a player on a bye, Kendrick Bourne is worth looking at. Last week against the Browns, he recorded four receptions for 98 yards and a touchdown. He has at least four targets in the last four games. The Patriots face the Falcons on Sunday, whose defense has allowed the 10th most fantasy points to wide receivers this year. Bourne isn't worth having on your roster for the rest of the year, but he could be a good option this week to fill in for a player on a bye week. Get him for a buck.

 

Marquez Callaway- WR- Saints

Saints wide receiver Marquez Callaway was one of the newest hyped players coming out of the preseason. And while he's been a quality player this season, he's still available in most fantasy leagues. He has at least four targets in all but two games this year and he's been in the endzone five times. The Saints have a tough matchup against a good Philly pass defense in week 11, but Callaway is worth picking up and rostering for the rest of the year, especially with Michael Thomas out and if Kamara misses more time in the upcoming weeks. Get him for a dollar this week.

 

Jeff Wilson Jr- RB- 49ers

While Eli Mitchell will continue to be the starting running back in San Francisco, Jeff Wilson Jr. is someone worth picking up in deeper leagues. After spending the first eight week on injured reserve, Wilson returned to action in week 9. The 49ers are slowly incorporating him back into the offense, and on Monday night he had 10 carries for 28 yards. Given that the 49ers' running backs have been banged up all year, Wilson could see a higher workload in week 11 against the Jaguars. The 49ers' offense is playing well over the past three weeks, and running the ball is key to their success. Wilson is worth picking up this week for a buck and waiting to see if his workload increases.

 

Cam Newton- QB- Panthers

Former MVP Cam Newton is still available in most fantasy leagues. Not sure if that will be the case after this week, but he should be targeted if you need a quarterback. Last week against the Cardinals, he ran and threw a touchdown in a blowout win. The Panthers face Washington this week, whose defense has given up the most fantasy points to quarterbacks this year. Newton is expected to become the starting quarterback, and you might be able to get him for a buck this week.

 

Evan Engram- TE- Giants

After a very slow start to the season, tight end Evan Engram has put together a few quality outings. In full PPR leagues, he has at least 10 points in four of the last five weeks and touchdowns in the past two games. The Giants face Tampa Bay in week 11, whose defense has allowed the 8th most fantasy points to tight ends this year. It's extremely hard to find a consistent tight end this year, but Evan Engram could be most consistent option available on the waiver wire. Get him for a buck now.
