Although your Week 11 fantasy football waivers have already run, it’s not too late to make a few more moves. Here are four more sleepers that may have slipped under the cracks.
The rule for these overlooked waiver wire sleepers is that they must be under 50% rostered in ESPN leagues. Although these players likely won’t be superstars, they’re worth stashing on your bench to fill in as possible FLEX options.
1. Alec Pierce (40.5% Rostered)
It’s tough because the Indianapolis Colts have a ton of talent at receiver. Between Michael Pittman Jr, Tyler Warren, and Josh Downs, it’s tough to rely on a player who’s arguably the third option at best.
However, Alec Pierce is a deep threat who has been dominant since Week 7. While deep threats can be inconsistent fantasy options, you can’t deny what Pierce has done at this point.
In Pierce’s last four games, he’s had over 14 points (PPR) in three and hasn’t dropped below eight points. What’s even more impressive is that Pierce has had at least seven targets in three of those four games.
While in the first four games Pierce never went over 11 points, things have changed. There’s reason to be skeptical, but if Pierce continues to play like this, he could be a very strong FLEX option going forward.
2. Tre Tucker (44.5% Rostered)
With Jakobi Meyers out the door, Tre Tucker should, in theory, be the top wide receiver for the Las Vegas Raiders. Now that the Raiders have a healthy Brock Bowers, Tucker is really the number two option.
We saw Tucker explode for 40.9 points in Week 3, and from Week 1 to Week 6, he had over 11 points in four of those games. The problem is that Tucker hasn’t gone over nine points in any of his last three games.
Tucker has flashed some good games, and he has the opportunity to be productive, which is why he’s worth a stash if possible. At the same time, though, Pierce is a significantly better option.

3. Tez Johnson (36.1% Rostered)
The first three players on this list are all deep threat wide receivers. Tez Johnson has been better than Tucker recently, but there’s a possibility his opportunities will go down assuming Chris Godwin comes back.
Now, the reason why Johnson is interesting is because, outside of Emeka Egbuka, there’s really no other target competition on this Tampa Bay Buccaneers offense scoring 25.4 PPG.
Johnson has had over 11 points in three of his last four games and 15 in two of the last four. Godwin is 29 years old, and his injury history is concerning.
There’s a chance that Godwin struggles to return to his former self, and Johnson maintains his role. Regardless of when Godwin comes back, Johnson has a ton of upside on a weekly basis.
4. Juwan Johnson (35.4% Rostered)
The reason Juwan Johnson is under 50% rostered is likely due to the fact that the New Orleans Saints have a bye. Johnson isn’t the most exciting name, but he’s averaging 10.8 PPG on the year, making him a perfect starting option if you didn’t draft an elite tight end.
Johnson had a rough three game stretch from Week 4 to Week 6, but since Week 7, he’s been back on track. Since Week 7, Johnson has gone over 10 points every single game.
With the Saints not having many other weapons besides Chris Olave, Johnson is a player who can be a viable starting option for your fantasy football team.
