Another week of NFL action is behind us. Are there any players left on the waiver wire wasteland? Let's find out. Below, you'll find some wideouts that you should be targeting on the waiver wire ahead of Week 11.
Not all options are the same. Some players may be better in PPR or deeper leagues, so it’s not a one-size-fits-all comparison. Use your best judgment when deciding which of these players is the right fit for your roster.

Rashod Bateman, Baltimore Ravens
50% rostered
Hopefully this is the last week I have to write about Rashod Bateman, because by next week, enough of you will be rostering him. Bateman was targeted eight times this week, catching six passes for 80 yards. He's now played four games, and he has six or more targets in each of those. He's hit the 80-yard mark twice. He's got Chicago and Cleveland on deck.
Laviska Shenault Jr., Jacksonville Jaguars
45% rostered
The overall numbers for Shenault sucked this week, as he had three catches for 15 yards. But he was targeted eight times and also added two rushing attempts. I wouldn't prioritize Shenault at all, but he's a decent emergency option for your fantasy team if things are going really, really bad.
Darnell Mooney, Chicago Bears
45% rostered
The Bears were on a bye this week, but in Week 9, Mooney was targeted six times, catching three passes for 41 yards and a touchdown while also adding in a 15-yard rushing score. The Bears seem intent on getting Mooney the ball. He won't always do a ton with that, but he's a WR4 play right now, which is better than nothing.
Deonte Harris, New Orleans Saints
19% rostered
After 15 targets over the past two weeks, Deonte Harris saw a drop in usage this week, with just four targets. He caught three of those for 84 yards. Harris appears to be the big-play receiver in New Orleans, a role that will undoubtedly be really, really hit-or-miss going forward. But when he hits, he can hit pretty well for managers in deep leagues.
Kendrick Bourne, New England Patriots
7% rostered
Three Patriots receivers -- Jakobi Meyers, Nelson Agholor, and Kendrick Bourne -- had four targets this week, but Bourne also added three rushing attempts. He ended up with four catches for 98 yards and a score, plus 43 rushing yards. Bourne was on my preseason sleeper list, but then he totaled three catches for 27 yards over the first two weeks. He's shown some signs of breaking out, but then has faded back into the ether. But with the Falcons defense up next, fantasy managers in deep leagues might want to look Bourne's way.
Tre'Quan Smith, New Orleans Saints
3% rostered
Smith had seven targets this week, his most of the season, and turned that into a season-high four catches for 44 yards and a touchdown. Smith now has a touchdown in two of the past three games. Trevor Siemian seems to like getting him the ball, which gives Smith some upside. Not, like, a ton of upside, but enough to get him on a roster in a deep league.
Olamide Zaccheaus, Atlanta Falcons
1% rostered
For the second time in three games, Russell Gage did not have a reception. Meanwhile Zaccheaus continued to see his role grow, setting a season-high in targets with seven. He only caught two of those for 22 yards, but Zaccheaus is involved-enough right now to make him rosterable in a 14-team league.
Marcus Johnson, Tennessee Titans
0% rostered
Hmm. This could be interesting. Julio Jones is on IR, and the Titans receiving corps behind A.J. Brown just isn't very good. So when Marcus Johnson steps in and gets six targets, turning that into five catches for 100 yards, then I'm going to pay attention. Worth noting is that last week, Johnson had no targets, but he did have five the week before that. And he has the Texans on the schedule this week. Lot of chances for this Titans offense to move the ball down the field against a defense as bad as Houston's.
Ray-Ray McCloud III, Pittsburgh Steelers
0% rostered
With Chase Claypool out, Ray-Ray McCloud III saw 12 targets, taking over the No. 2 role that we thought would go to James Washington. But nope, it was McCloud, who caught nine passes for 63 yards. Maybe it was just because of who the quarterback was -- Mason Rudolph -- and not about some changing of the pecking order. IDK. But McCloud pops up on the deep-league radar after this showing.
