Waivers of the Future: Week 11

Jordan McNamara's Waivers of the Future: Week 11 Jordan McNamara Published 11/15/2022

Waivers of the future will focus on making decisions that improve our odds of our dynasty championship. The back of your dynasty roster should be flexible, with preferences made for players you can use in your lineup during the season.

Quarterbacks

Among the quarterbacks, there are three types of waiver options: those moving up this week, veteran backups, and potential young players with future roles.

Moving Up this Week

There are no immediate uptick players at the quarterback position. However, the following players warrant waiver consideration if available.

Marcus Mariota struggled in week ten on Thursday Night Football. The team had the benefit of a mini-bye, and there is speculation the team could use the opportunity to turn the quarterback position over to Desmond Ridder. Ridder is likely rostered in quarterback premium leagues but could be available in shallower one-quarterback leagues.

Veteran Backups

As a general rule, you should have a limited amount of backup quarterbacks on your monitor list. With roster spots tight, optimized dynasty rosters under 25 spots in Superflex or quarterback premium. If you are in 25 to 35-man rosters and have a roster spot, these quarterbacks are the premium backups:

  • Tyrod Taylor, NYG
  • Tyler Huntley, BAL
  • Gardner Minshew, PHI
  • Case Keenum, BUF

In leagues deeper than 35 spots, consider:

  • Colt McCoy, ARI
  • Chad Henne, KC
  • Chase Daniel, LAC

Younger Stashes

Stashing young quarterbacks can be tricky because it is rare quarterbacks without high draft pedigree will become fantasy starters. These options are more depth opportunities with the hope to include in a future trade than they are solutions to a quarterback issue.

  • Jordan Love, GB

Jordan Love is a pure stash behind Rodgers heading into the offseason. He will be in the final year of his rookie contract in 2023.

  • Matt Corral, CAR (IR)

If you can roster Matt Corral as an IR stash, there is no clear QB1 in front of him for 2023.

  • Sam Howell, WAS

Both Carson Wentz and Taylor Heinicke have been erratic this season, and the team should be looking to audition rookie Sam Howell in the coming weeks.

Running Backs

One of the keys to dynasty fantasy football is continuously optimizing your backup running back situation. The last five to ten roster spots on your roster should be very fluid, with little allegiance if the player does not offer the capacity to help your lineup. A constant churn on the back end of your roster is critical.
