Week-11 Fantasy Baseball FAAB: 6 Waiver Adds Ranked by Spend Priority

Six FAAB-priority waiver adds for Week 11, ranked by how aggressively to bid and backed by role-change data, recent performance, and upcoming schedule context.

Top FAAB Spend: Jake Burger (1B/3B, MIA) – Everyday Power Corner

Jake Burger headlines Week 11 waiver priorities as a multi-position corner bat with established power and a path to everyday plate appearances, ranking as the No. 1 first-base waiver option in 12+ team leagues on RotoBaller’s Week 11 list and carrying dual 1B/3B eligibility in many formats.

RotoBaller notes Burger as a priority add due to his rest-of-season power upside and lineup role, which plays up with Miami leaning on him as a middle-order run producer, making him worth an aggressive FAAB push in leagues needing HR/RBI at the corner spots.

High FAAB: Coby Mayo (1B/3B, BAL) – Prospect Bat Getting Run

Coby Mayo ranks directly behind Burger in RotoBaller’s Week 11 first-base waiver rankings and is highlighted as a 1B/3B-eligible rookie corner infielder to add in 12+ team leagues, signaling strong industry confidence in his bat and playing-time trajectory.

The RotoBaller breakdown emphasizes Mayo’s power profile and path to more consistent starts as Baltimore works him into corner-infield and DH at-bats, a classic role-change scenario that justifies an assertive but slightly lower FAAB bid than Burger in standard formats.

Mid-High FAAB: Batting-Average Streamer vs Washington (Hitting Category Add)

FantasyPros’ Week 11 category-focused waiver column flags a hitter set to face Washington to open the scoring period as a specific batting-average target, calling him a “priority pickup for those in search of boosting their batting average,” and highlighting him as a short-term category streamer.

FantasyPros notes that this team is scheduled to see six right-handed starters during the upcoming scoring week, projecting steady plate appearances in a strong-side platoon role that raises his batting-average floor and makes him a FAAB-worthy play in roto or H2H category leagues needing average and runs.

Mid-Tier FAAB: Speed/Category Specialist From FantasyPros List

Alongside batting-average and power targets, FantasyPros’ Week 11 waiver-wire-by-category piece highlights category-specific specialists as priority adds, including speed contributors who can swing stolen bases over a single scoring period when schedules and recent usage line up.

Given FantasyPros’ focus on aligning pickups with categorical needs, managers chasing steals or runs can treat these highlighted speed options as mid-tier FAAB bids tied to role—often leadoff or high-lineup-slot hitters—with the expectation that their usage trends and matchups in Week 11 provide a near-term stolen-base spike.

Value FAAB: Jake Burger-Like Power Consolation (Deeper-League Corner)

RotoBaller’s Week 11 waiver rankings also outline additional corner-infield options behind Burger and Mayo, framing them as deeper-league recommendations where 12+ and 15-team formats require rostering almost every everyday bat with a pulse and some power projection.

In those formats, RotoBaller suggests that managers who miss out on Burger or Mayo can pivot to lower-tier first-basemen on their list, using a more conservative FAAB bid to chase HR and RBI from players whose roles have recently expanded into more consistent starts or favorable lineup spots.

Speculative FAAB: Streaming Arm with Favorable Week-11 Schedule

RotoGraphs’ Week 11 FAAB and waiver column notes that every Monday they break down the most popular waiver adds and schedule-driven streams, emphasizing that volume starters set up for two-start weeks or soft matchups are often among the highest-added players in FAAB formats.

For managers needing ratio help or strikeout volume, RotoGraphs’ discussion of schedule context and matchup quality can identify a low- to mid-range FAAB pitcher add whose role is temporarily elevated—either via a two-start week, a rotation injury opening a spot, or a turn against weaker lineups.
