Week 10 of the NFL ended last night with a defensive classic between the Philadelphia Eagles and Green Bay Packers, and now we're only a few weeks from the playoffs in NFL Fantasy Football. There's a fine line between winning and losing down the stretch, and Fantasy Football managers need to continue adding to their rosters to widen their margin for error. Every week, there's always a prudent move to make on the waiver wire, and GIVEMESPORT has identified eight players you should sign as soon as possible heading into Week 11. Each player listed has not been picked up in more than 50% of ESPN fantasy leagues, and our FAAB recommendations were made on a $1,000 budget. Quarterbacks Jacoby Brissett 17% roster rate 19.4 Fantasy Points (Week 10, PPR) Next Opponent: San Francisco 49ers FAAB Recommendation: $90 Kyler Murray is out for the foreseeable future, and even if the Arizona Cardinals' franchise quarterback comes back 100%, there's a decent chance Jacoby Brissett is the starter for the rest of the year. And the veteran quarterback is coming off four straight fantasy performances of 19.4 or more points against several quality defenses. Brissett, right now, is a high-end backup who could start consistently in some leagues. Marcus Mariota 12% roster rate 18.7 Fantasy Points (Week 10, PPR) Next Opponent: Miami Dolphins FAAB Recommendation: $60 Marcus Mariota's situation is a little murkier than Brissett's, because when Washington Commanders' star quarterbackJayden Daniels returns from injury, he's playing. However, the 24-year-old's timeline remains unclear as he recovers from a dislocated shoulder, meaning the longtime backup will be under center for at least the next couple of weeks. Despite the 44-22 loss this past weekend, Mariota put up 18.7 points and could fill in as a serviceable backup in many leagues. Running Backs Sean Tucker 4% roster rate 6.1 Fantasy Points (Week 10, PPR) Next Opponent: Buffalo Bills FAAB Recommendation: $30 Sean Tucker would be a solid temporary add, considering that Tampa Bay Buccaneers' running back Bucky Irving should return from injury in the coming weeks. The third-year back has seen his touches increase over the past few weeks, and now will face a Buffalo Bills team that has struggled to contain the ground game. Tucker is not a long-term flex option with his track record, but the former Syracuse standout is worth a flyer at this point. Brian Robinson Jr. 21% roster rate 11.5 Fantasy Points (Week 10, PPR) Next Opponent: Arizona Cardinals FAAB Recommendation: $50 Brian Robinson Jr. is coming off two straight double-digit performances and even split carries with Christian McCaffrey in Sunday's loss to the Los Angeles Rams. That trend likely won't continue unless the San Francisco 49ers' star running back is hurt. Nonetheless, even if McCaffrey goes back to being a focal point, Robinson Jr. is starting to emerge as a decent flex option. Wide Receivers Jayden Higgins 17% roster rate 15.2 Fantasy Points (Week 10, PPR) Next Opponent: Tennessee Titans FAAB Recommendation: $60 The Houston Texans had a miracle win against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday, and Jayden Higgins played a key role in his team's 26-point fourth quarter. The rookie wideout had a career-high five catches for a career-high 42 yards and a touchdown to spark this comeback. The Texans need all the help they can get on the outside, and Higgins' height and athleticism make him an intriguing red zone option down the stretch. Jalen Nailor 1% roster rate 23.4 Fantasy Points (Week 10, PPR) Next Opponent: Chicago Bears FAAB Recommendation: $50 Jalen Nailor is coming off by far his best performance of the season, catching five passes for 124 yards and one touchdown. The fourth-year receiver showed excellent chemistry with an aggressive J.J. McCarthy. The Minnesota Vikings' starting quarterback didn't exactly seize the moment, but Kevin O'Connell will likely continue being more aggressive in the passing attack as his team looks to keep its playoff hopes alive. Nailor could be due for another big week against a susceptible Chicago Bears' secondary in Week 11. Tight Ends Tyler Higbee 2% roster rate 6.3 Fantasy Points (Week 10, PPR) Next Opponent: Seattle Seahawks FAAB Recommendation: $20 Tyler Higbee hasn't been nearly as reliable as he's been in years past, which is why we're only recommending you add him at a backup tight end value. Still, the veteran is seeing anywhere between three and six targets a game and has a few 10+ point games this season. The Los Angeles Rams' offense is humming along thanks to an MVP-caliber season from Matthew Stafford, and there's a chance the 32-year-old joins in on the action in the coming weeks. Isaiah Likely 6% roster rate 3.7 Fantasy Points (Week 10, PPR) Next Opponent: Cleveland Browns FAAB Recommendation: $20 Isaiah Likely has had an uneven 2025 season health-wise, but the Baltimore Ravens' tight end now has Lamar Jackson back healthy and is seeing an uptick in his targets.
