Lets take a look at the top five waiver wire targets for week 11.

5. TE Kyle Rudolph (MIN)

Minnesota Vikings tight end, Kyle Rudolph hasn’t seen in-game action since week 3, but may play this week against the Chicago Bears. The Bears have allowed more FPPG to tight ends this season than any other team in the league.

If Rudolph is a go come Sunday, then he is worth the gamble vs. the Bears defense.

4. San Diego Chargers D/ST

The San Diego Chargers will be in desperation mode when the face SoCal rivals, the Oakland Raiders this Sunday. The Chargers are looking to snap a three-game losing streak and will need to do so if they want to keep their playoff hopes alive.

Though Derek Carr has played well at times this season, at the end of the day he’s still a rookie. The Chargers will be playing to keep their season alive, and will turn Carr back to true rookie form in week 11.

3. QB Josh McCown (TB)

The are three real options if you need a quarterback in week 11, Drew Stanton, Mark Sanchez and Josh McCown. I’m taking McCown over the other too simply because of the match up he faces this Sunday.

Stanton will face the Detroit Lions in Arizona and Sanchez will head to Lambeau Field will to take on the Green Bay Packers. The Lions defense is still ranked among the best in the league and the elements in Wisconsin in mid November will present a whole different ball game this week.

McCown however, faces the Washington Redskins who just so happen to be the third most generous team when it comes to opposing fantasy quarterbacks. He did throw two interceptions last week, but he was still 27-of-43 for 301 yards and two touchdowns.

2. WR Jordan Matthews (PHI)

In 2014, Jordan Matthews has shown flashes of his true potential and reminded us that he is related to NFL royalty in Jerry Rice. Now, with Mark Sanchez under center for the Philadelphia Eagles, Matthews has truly begun to show that he is the real deal opposite Jeremy Maclin.
