INSIGHT

Week 11 Waiver Pool Is Thin

  • Week 11 waiver options are unusually thin across positions, so managers should expect minor tweaks rather than game-changing pickups.
  • Cecil Lammey and Sigmund Bloom highlight that cold-weather, defense-first football and season fatigue are driving limited high-upside opportunities.
ANECDOTE

Waiver Wire As Desert Oasis

  • Cecil Lammey compares the waiver wire to searching for an oasis in a desert when options are scarce late in the season.
  • He uses weather and fatigue metaphors to explain why offenses trend conservative as the season cools.
ADVICE

Be Conservative Adding Injured QBs

  • If Joe Burrow or Brock Purdy are on waivers, consider rostering them only if you can afford holding an uncertain roster spot through return timetables.
  • Use IR spots in redraft leagues wisely to stash injured QBs when available, per Cecil Lammey and Sigmund Bloom.
