Waiver Wire Workout, Week 11

Because league formats vary, one size doesn't fit all when it comes to your waiver wire. That's why I break possible free agent adds into three categories. Follow me on Twitter for the latest on possible additions to your fantasy roster. (You can check out daily fantasy here and here.)

Addable In All Leagues

Danny Amendola, WR, NE (owned in 30% of Yahoo leagues). It's a slow week for brand-new must-adds, and Amendola is the clear No. 1 acquisition of the week. Everyone's favorite mighty mite, Julian Edelman, is out for the rest of the regular season with a Jones fracture in his left foot, and thus can be dropped in redraft fantasy leagues. Amendola gets first crack at occupying Tom Brady's go-to role out of the slot, and he converted 11 targets into 10 catches for 79 yards Sunday, almost returned a punt for a touchdown, and converted a huge fourth-and-long on the game-winning drive. My concern is that Amendola has been fragile in the past. Edelman's role in the Patriots offense is to get crunched time and time again over the middle. Can Amendola hold up to that kind of punishment?

Denard Robinson, RB, JAC (1% owned). T.J. Yeldon came out of Week 10 with an injured foot, and the Jags play on Thursday night against Tennessee. If the rookie can't go, Robinson and Toby Gerhart (0% owned) would handle Jacksonville's backfield workload. Given a choice between the two, I'll take the guy who didn't fail to get into the end zone on four straight carries in London a few weeks ago. Robinson is a worthy addition if you're desperate for short-term RB help.

Jacob Tamme, TE, Falcons (19% owned). Am I actually excited about the prospect of adding Tamme? I am not. Did I feel obligated to put him in the "all leagues" category of my list to make the week's potential adds look less paltry? No comment. Listen, we all know Tamme is just another guy. But before Atlanta's Week 10 bye, Tamme had double-digit targets in three of five contests. It's possible something has changed during the Falcons' break, but if you're looking for a streamer possibility, Tamme has some volume appeal.

Jaguars Defense (2% owned). Look at me, going out on a limb! The Jags currently boast the NFL's least-owned fantasy defense, yet I don't hate streaming Jacksonville on Thursday night at home against a milquetoast Titans offense that lacks proven commodities. Listen, this team scored negative fantasy points in Weeks 5 and 6 versus the Bucs and Texans, so I'd never put a stinker past them. But the past couple weeks they've given off the look of an improving run defense. I'm actually conflicted, as I could also select the Titans defense (8% owned), which I actually think is legitimately more talented. But the Jags score points, and they're at home. I'll take their D by a whisker.

Players listed in previous weeks who are still addable in all leagues: Matt Jones, RB, WAS (47%); Alfred Blue, RB, HOU (48%); James White, RB, NE (38%); Theo Riddick, RB, DET (22%); Kamar Aiken, WR, BAL (47%); Dorial Green-Beckham, WR, TEN (26%); Nate Washington, WR, HOU (33%).

Speculative Adds

Jay Ajayi, RB, Dolphins (18% owned). Don't get carried away with Ajayi's stat line from Week 10 against the Eagles: six carries for 48 yards makes him look like a potential breakout player. But two of those runs went for 44 yards, and they were parting-of-the-Red-Sea blocked for him. Still, Ajayi was my third-favorite rookie RB in the 2015 Draft Class, behind only Todd Gurley and Melvin Gordon. I think he might eventually be a better player than Lamar Miller. For now, though, he's strictly Miller's handcuff; if you own Miller, add Ajayi.

Stevan Ridley, RB, Jets (1% owned). Speaking of handcuffs, Zac Stacy is on IR and Bilal Powell is battling a multi-week ankle injury, leaving Ridley as Chris Ivory's pure backup. Powell could return this week, so I wouldn't want Ivory owners to put all their eggs in the Ridley basket. But if Ivory gets injured, I don't think the Jets would entrust their backfield to Powell, the original ham-and-egger. I think the bigger Ridley would play on early downs.

Mark Sanchez, QB, Eagles (1% owned). Sam Bradford is out for at least Week 11 against the Bucs, and if Sanchez excels he could permanently take over Philly's starting job. The Eagles could definitely use a shot in the arm, as Bradford's poor play is the offense's main problem. Unfortunately, Sanchez didn't look much better in a relief appearance Sunday, throwing his standard soul-crushing end-zone pick in the fourth quarter.

Terrance Williams, WR, Cowboys (33% owned). Tony Romo will return this week against the Dolphins, so we can safely forget anything we think we know about the Dallas offense over the past seven games. It's been a dumpster fire. Dez Bryant and Jason Witten will benefit from Romo's return, and Darren McFadden probably comes next in the pecking order. But maybe Williams again becomes the deep weapon he was down the stretch and in the playoffs last year.

Brian Quick, WR, Rams (8% owned). The Rams are finally pulling the plug on Nick Foles as their starting quarterback; though it's naïve to expect Case Keenum (see below) to revive this awful pass offense, it couldn't hurt. Quick has the highest ceiling of any Rams receiver; he's 6'3" and 218 pounds and runs a 4.55 40. Quick made a sweet catch on a post pattern Sunday, and put his long strides on display after the catch. And he also would've had a touchdown catch if Foles could hit the broad side of a barn.

Players listed in previous weeks who are still speculative adds: Jay Cutler, QB, CHI (40%); Charles Sims, RB, TB (32%); Joique Bell, RB, DET (31%); David Cobb, RB, TEN (15%); Brandon Bolden, RBs, NE (19%); Thomas Rawls, RB, SEA (28%); Buck Allen, RB, BAL (4%); Jordan Todman, RB, PIT (3%); Christine Michael, RB, DAL (12%); Ahmad Bradshaw, RB, IND (4%); Shaun Draughn, RB, SF (4%); Chris Polk, RB, HOU (5%); Ted Ginn, WR, CAR (35%); Rueben Randle, WR, NYG (43%); Devin Funchess, WR, CAR (23%); Cecil Shorts, WR, HOU (8%); Chris Givens, WR, BAL (10%); Dontrelle Inman, WR, SD (4%); Eric Ebron, TE, DET (31%); Richard Rodgers (44% owned); Austin Seferian-Jenkins, TE, TB (31%); Crockett Gillmore, TE, BAL (12%).

Deep-League Adds

Tim Hightower, RB, Saints (0% owned). It doesn't seem as though Hightower is the pure handcuff for Mark Ingram since C.J. Spiller got some third-quarter work as the lead back when Ingram was temporarily out of Sunday's game. But Hightower is better suited than Spiller for between-the-tackles work, plus Spiller is probably already owned in your league.

Wes Welker, WR, Rams (24% owned). He's got more name than game at this point, but maybe Keenum can revive his career in a way Foles would never have done. Welker still looked quick coming in and out of breaks in Week 10.

Brock Osweiler, QB, Broncos (1% owned). Peyton Manning will sit in Week 11 against the Bears, so folks in two-quarterback leagues should think about adding Osweiler. It's basically impossible to draw major lessons from 20 minutes of playing time, but Osweiler was somewhere between horrible and acceptable in the second half Sunday. He does have Peyton's elite weaponry, though he doesn't have anything resembling a good offensive line.

Case Keenum, QB, Rams (0% owned). If I had my choice in a two-QB league between Osweiler and Keenum, I'd probably go Osweiler just because one of these teams has Demaryius Thomas and Emmanuel Sanders, and the other doesn't. But you'll recall Keenum had a few weeks of magic with the Texans two weeks back, during which I seriously had Houston fans tweeting me that Keenum was the next Tony Romo.

Cody Latimer, WR, Broncos (1% owned). Latimer actually made an appearance while Sunday's game was still in the balance. During garbage time he came close to carrying a short catch into the end zone and also drew a pass interference call. Latimer is a former second-round pick with great athletic tools, but he'll probably only be worth anything even in deeper fantasy leagues if Emmanuel Sanders can't stay healthy.

Spencer Ware, RB, Chiefs (0% owned). If we're talking handcuffs, it now appears that Ware is Charcandrick West's. Knile Davis was a healthy scratch Sunday, and Ware played in a few short-yardage situations. Of course, if the Charknado goes down, nobody really knows what Andy Reid's backfield plan would be.

Players listed in previous weeks who are still addable in deep leagues: Chris Thompson, RB, WAS (7%); Jonathan Grimes, RB, HOU (0%); Kendall Gaskins, RB, SF (5%); Orleans Darkwa, RB, NYG (6%); Travaris Cadet, RB, 49ers (0%); Jamison Crowder, WR, WAS (9%); Dwayne Harris, WR, NYG (18%); Marquess Wilson, WR, CHI (8%); Cole Beasley, WR, DAL (13%); Justin Hardy, WR, ATL (0%); Javontee Herndon, WR, SD (0%).
