Week 11 of the 2017 regular season is just about coming to a close with the Monday Night Football game remaining. Most fantasy football leagues will run their waiver wires late Tuesday or early Wednesday, but we are here to help you get a jump on the best options to consider.

We will be ranking the top five players likely to be available in your league at each of the four major positions. Some weeks there might not be five good options available, but we’ll scour for the best we can find. Additionally, throughout the week, we will update each of these articles as ownership percentages change and news arrives. The following ownership percentages come via CBS Sportsline entering Week 11.
Kenny Stills, Miami Dolphins (60 percent ownership)
He’s the third option in the passing game, but Stills is a pretty good third fiddle. While DeVante Parker and Jarvis Landry get all the attention in fantasy, Stills got all the yards on Sunday, putting up a sensational 7-180-1 line. That kind of production might be an outlier (although he did put up 26 fantasy points in Week 7), but Stills has been in double-digit fantasy points in five of his past six games.
Cooper Kupp, Los Angeles Rams (60)
Kupp also tends to get lost in all the Todd Gurley-Robert Woods hype in L.A., but the slot receiver has six catches in two straight games and double-digit fantasy points in three of four games. The Rams’ upcoming schedule features several star corners, which means Jared Goff should be targeting his slot man even more come playoff weeks.
Coleman returned Sunday after missing eight weeks with a hand injury, and he picked up right where he led off with a tidy 6-80 line against the brutal Jaguars defense in adverse wind conditions. His matchups improve over the next few weeks and his talent is unquestioned. He needs to be owned in more than one-third of leagues.
Zay Jones, Buffalo Bills (8)
We’ll see what the diagnosis is on Kelvin Benjamin’s knee, but if the Bills’ new acquisition misses time, Jordan Matthews remains out and Tyrod Taylor gets his job back, Jones has a chance to soak up some solid volume. He had four catches on seven targets in a dismal showing on Sunday, so there is hope for better days.
If Will Fuller misses more time — and even with Fuller back in action — Ellington figures to remain a central figure in the passing game. With Patrick Peterson on DeAndre Hopkins on Sunday, Ellington caught six of seven targets for 63 yards.
