As I do every year over the last 13 years, I’m here to help with waiver wire adds via my weekly Waiver Favors™ article! And I’m assuming if you’re reader right now, you’re in your fantasy football playoffs, so congratulations!I’ll make a couple suggestions for after Week 11 of the 2025 fantasy football season that hopefully will keep your team running. You’re welcome. Again.
As usual, all pickups are available in at least 50% of Yahoo standard fantasy football leagues (with some minor exceptions) as of Sunday evening.
Kenneth Gainwell
RB – Pittsburgh Steelers – 32% Owned
Jaylen Warren went out with an ankle injury in the 3rd Quarter in Week 11 and in stepped Kenneth Gainwell with 9 carries for 24 yards while catching 7 of 8 targets for 81 receiving yards and 2 TDs. If Warren remains out in Week 12, Gainwell should lead the Steelers backfield so it’s worth grabbing him in all leagues as we wait to see how Warren is doing.
Sean Tucker
RB – Tampa Bay Buccaneers – 26% Owned
Devin Singletary
WR – New York Giants – 20% Owned
Tyrone Tracy was on everyone’s radar as the RB1 when Cam Skattabo when out for the season, but Devin Singletary has been getting an equal share of opportunities and most of the goal line carries, with 16 carries for 44 and 2 TDs plus one catch for 3 yards. It’s time to scoop him up in all 12-team leagues or deeper.
Chris Rodriguez
RB – Washington Commanders – 12% Owned
Chris Rodriguez got the start in Week 10 but left early with a shoulder injury. Well, he got the start again in Week 11 and had 15 carries for 79 yards. He had more carries than Jacory Croskey-Merritt and Jeremy McNichols combined. There’s no reason to believe that his control of the Commanders backfield won’t continue to grow, so go pick him up in all 12-team leagues or deeper.
RB – Green Bay Packers – 7% Owned
Josh Jacobs left the game in Week 11 with a knee injury that may be a PCL issue. Emanual Wilson stepped in and managed 11 carries for 40 yards and a TD, a 2-PT conversion and one catch for 9 yards. If Jacobs is out, Wilson will be an RB with the Packers, so I’d snag him in all leagues of every depth to see how Jacobs is doing.

Pat Bryant
WR – Denver Broncos – 1% Owned
The Broncos had an impressive win against the Chiefs in Week 11, and a lot of that was on the defense and some clutch grabs by Pat Bryant. For Weeks 7 to 10, Bryant averaged a little over 3 targets per game. But in Week 11, he had 6 targets, grabbing 5 of them for 82 big time yards, which was the most receptions and 2nd most yards among all receivers in Denver. Is this a fluke? I don’t think so, as he’s been trending up all season. Go pick him up in all 14-team leagues or deeper.
