Other than that one play, his best performance in this stretch came this past week when he finished with five catches for 53 yards.

We’re headed into week eleven of the 2015 NFL season, so let’s take a look at the waiver wire and Fantasy Football experts’ rankings in order to make a few smart decisions on pickups after week ten.
Luckily this is the last week we deal with byes. In most fantasy leagues, there are only three games left before you start your playoffs.
Marks: Romo returns to action with a handsome match-up down on South Beach (kinda sorta). DGB had 10 targets the week before, and this week he gets a Jaguars’ defense that’s allowed at least 31 fantasy points to WRs in three of the past four games.
Flacco is forced to travel to face a NFC West team for the third time this season. Marcus Mariota is also a good option, and both defenses can have value given that both teams rank in the top five in fantasy points allowed to D/STs.
Jeremy Langford sits atop the fantasy list scoring 33.7 FanDuel points for owners.
Look who’s back. Can Romo lead the Cowboys to a W?.
New Orleans is a great place to party, especially if you are an opposing quarterback. There is no good reason not to grab Romo off waivers if he is available, as he is obviously capable of being a top five quarterback.
Choosing players that are free agents in the majority of leagues is usually pretty hard if you want them to make a significant impact on your roster for this season, so bare with me and don’t chastise me if a guy doesn’t make an immediate impact on your team. Most likely Edelman will miss the remainder of the regular season, so it’s up to one Danny Amendola to fill that void. The Ravens, his Week 11 opponent, have given up the most Fantasy points to opposing kickers this season.
Walker: Amendola is a flex option now that Edelman is out. The Bears, though improving, still haven’t been strong against WRs this year, thrice allowing 32-plus fantasy points in a game. Their offensive scheme and quarterback are that good. Brady just throws to whoever is open. Gronkowski is still the go-to option there, and it wouldn’t shock me if Scott Chandler got more involved in the offense as well. That’s certainly a bit of a buzz kill for Miller owners, who have been enjoying the best fantasy running back in the game since Week 6 (the first game of the post-Philbin era). Expect a bounce-back performance from Chris Johnson, as the Bengals have allowed at least 15 fantasy points to RBs in all but two games.
Charcandrick West raced past the vaunted Broncos defense on an 80-yard scoring reception just minutes before Adrian Peterson cut through the Raiders on an 80-yard TD run.
Peyton Manning has been an epic bust. He has double-digit fantasy points in every game this year, making him a cornerstone player for your DraftKings lineup. Ajayi is now averaging 8.1 YPC on his first 11 National Football League carries. Hilton, who can still sustain via a volume of targets, but a lack of vertical upside in a scaled-down offense limits the appeal for him and Donte Moncrief. This is just a bad marriage for Jackson and the Redskins, and one of them would be smart to find a way out of it this off-season. What’s more, a win over the Titans could really throw the division into chaos if the Colts and Texans lose (which is very possible this week).

Every week on Tuesday, I will be posting my top Fantasy Football waiver wire pick ups for the week. Add in Newton’s rushing potential and you have a QB1 play. Langford is, however, the player to own in keeper leagues as he appears to be the Bears’ running back of the future. How much do you trust any of them against the red-hot Vikings in Week 11?
