In this week 11 edition of waiver wire targets, we take a look at some possible names for the home stretch in our fantasy football season. A single hit on a waiver pickup can be the difference in winning a league championship. Let’s dive in!

HE’S BAAAAACK!! On Cam’s first two snaps, he produced a rushing and a passing touchdown. He is in line to start this week against the Washington team. He may not be worthy of a fantasy start just yet, but you know he will get those goal line carries and possibly put up the Jalen Hurts rushing line each week.
Rhamondre Stevenson
I thought of Stevenson as a possible play on Sunday but then remembered he played for the Patriots and Bill Belichick would find a way to screw over our fantasy hopes as he has in the past. This guy has juice and is dangerous with the ball in his hands. It will be impossible to know what the timeshare will be between him and Damien Harris, though. A valuable handcuff at the very least.
D’Onta Foreman
If you remember back a few years, D’Onta Foreman was a highly touted running back drafted by the Texans. He had a few splash plays but was set back by a brutal Achilles tear toward the end of his rookie season. This feels like so long ago, but he is still only 25 and looks to be the best back on the Titans roster moving forward.
Dan Arnold
Arnold was lost in the shuffle after surprisingly being traded after just signing with the Panthers a few months prior. Since that trade, he has had 60 or more receiving yards in four games with the Jaguars. He has quietly been a consistent target of Trevor Lawrence and it’s time to be rostered and potentially started.
Marcus Johnson
This is Johnson’s first game without any real stats. This could very well be an anomaly performance, but someone has to produce besides A.J. Brown. Julio Jones is out for another two games, and fantasy production needs to go somewhere.
Rashod Bateman
I featured Bateman in my waiver article for week 10.
