Injuries and a suspension have created opportunities for the next man up to step forward on several teams this week.
In turn, this creates opportunities for savvy fantasy owners to tweak their rosters and perhaps add a few points to their Week 11 score.
Let’s see what kind of gems we can dig up on the waiver wire this week:
COLIN KAEPERNICK (QB, 49ers)
Matt Ryan and Philip Rivers owners looking for a substitute this week could do a lot worse than Kaepernick, who faces a not-so-tough Patriots defense in Week 11. The Patriots have just 16 sacks so far this season and they’ve allowed an average of 260 passing yards per game. Mobile quarterbacks tend to give them fits, so Kaepernick is a good choice to stream.
