Week 10 of the 2024 NFL season is over after an exciting weekend of football.
And if you play fantasy football, you’re already scheduling waivers after a busy stretch of games.
That’s what we’re here for, a roundup of some of the players you could target heading into Week 11.
Some of the names below may already be taken, but if not, there are a bunch of guys who could change your fantasy fortunes this season. Let’s review them, in no particular order, and we’ve updated them after the Miami Dolphins and Los Angeles Rams played. Monday Night Football.
1. WR Ricky Pearsall, San Francisco 49ers

We knew the first-round pick was going to break out at some point, and even though he has to deal with Deebo Samuel, George Kittle, and Jauan Jennings, he could end up playing a bigger role in the offense.
2. WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling, New Orleans Saints

We’ve been here before with MVS: it offers explosive but low-volume plays. But the Saints need receivers and a deep threat to replace Rashid Shaheed, so maybe he’s more interested in the future?
3. WR Adonai Mitchell, Indianapolis Colts

Another rookie who could break out – Michael Pittman’s injury helped this week, but Mitchell could see some time after a big game.
4. RB Audric Estimé, Denver Broncos

Another rookie is getting more playing time, and that could be a thing in Denver. Goalkeeper leaguers, take note.
5. RB Cam Akers, Minnesota Vikings

At some point, Aaron Jones may miss some games, so it’s a good idea to get his replacement back.

The Saints need him to continue to be their Swiss army knife, so he can have big games coming up.
