There’s only one month left in the Fantasy Football regular season. If you find yourself on the bubble, it’s time to make some big moves to make sure you lock in your spot. For Week 11 trade targets, I’m going to focus on players with a strong schedule in these next four weeks, who can help you clinch the postseason.

Week 11 Trade Targets
Stefon Diggs, New England Patriots WR
It’s been a fairly quiet, yet productive, season for Diggs. It was hard to gauge what he would be able to do in his first season with the Patriots. He was coming off a major injury, while switching teams to one with a new coaching scheme, and being paired with a sophomore quarterback. If you doubted Diggs coming into 2025, I don’t blame you.
While I wouldn’t go so far as to say Diggs is “thriving” in New England, he is certainly playing decently. He has averaged 6.1 targets per game this season. That includes the first few weeks when he was still having his snaps monitored. Diggs has also scored in each of the past three games.
The team’s other playmakers are currently pretty banged up. Boutte will definitely miss this week. The team may also be down two of its top three running backs. With the target tree narrowing, Diggs should become more of a focal point.
There’s also the schedule to consider. The Patriots have the best schedule in the league over the next three weeks, taking on the Jets, Bengals, and Giants. All three have porous pass defenses that Diggs should be able to eat up. The lone red flag is that the team has a Week 14 bye, so you won’t have him in your regular-season finale.
Regardless, he should help many teams make it to the playoffs. Let yours be one of them.
Michael Pittman, Indianapolis Colts WR
Pittman shines as a rare buy opportunity for a stud receiver by coming off a terrible game and heading into a bye week. If he happens to be on a team on the playoff bubble that needs to win this week, think about making a strong push for him.
Pittman does not have an easy rest-of-season schedule. I’ll get that out of the way. While I understand the allure of targeting bad defenses, that doesn’t always work out for receivers. The Colts have put up some big point totals this year, but more often than not, they get a large lead and then ice away the game on the ground. That’s not ideal when you want your receiver to have a massive game.
The Colts will face a lot of good defenses in the coming weeks. The hope is that they start to make Jonathan Taylor look human again and force the Colts to throw more to stay competitive.
Pittman is the clear #1 receiver on the team. Pierce and Downs each have their roles, but don’t stray too far from them. Pittman, on the other hand, operates all over the field and is who the team turns to when they need a catch in crunch time.
His value should be a bit muted right now due to the surrounding factors. If you’ve been trying to fill a hole at receiver on your roster, Pittman has the talent and opportunity to be a locked-in starter for you.
Jaylen Warren, Pittsburgh Steelers RB
Jaylen Warren might be one of the most unheralded volume plays in recent memory. He’s gotten at least 13 opportunities in every game this season.
The big issue has been a lack of ceiling. He’s only scored two rushing touchdowns all year, and they both came in the same game. While he’s gotten at least two targets in every game, he’s only scored once through the air. That was all the way back in Week 1. He also has only two games with over 100 yards from scrimmage.
There are reasons for hope, though. The team says they expect his carries to increase. That could just be lip service, but given how bad Aaron Rodgers has been looking, I wouldn’t doubt it. The Steelers have a great upcoming schedule through Week 15. Four of the next five matchups are against Bottom-10 teams in terms of rush yardage allowed. Two of those matchups, Cincinnati and Buffalo, are Bottom-3.
The playoffs are a different story, though. The Steelers take on Detroit and Cleveland in Weeks 16 and 17, respectively.
So, if you need Warren to help you to a playoff berth, he should be your guy. Just expect to have to swerve once you’re there.

Juwan Johnson, New Orleans Saints TE
This isn’t the first time I’ve highlighted Johnson this season, and it likely won’t be the last. I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s been added and dropped from your bench multiple times this year. I know I’ve done it. It’s time to lock him in for real, though.
Tyler Shough does look better than Spencer Rattler. I know that’s a low bar, but we weren’t sure how it would play out, so it’s nice to see. He helped Johnson claim the TE #2 spot in Week 10. Somehow, this was on Johnson’s lowest snap share of the season. I don’t expect that to be the usual case, but something to monitor for sure.
Johnson was already a main focal point for the team, and now they are without Rashid Shaheed, who they shipped to Seattle. Shaheed was a big target earner, and there aren’t too many players in NOLA who can pick up the slack now that he’s gone. Fortunately, Johnson can help carry the load.
The Saints also have a great end to the season. While you will need to deal with a bye this week, it’s easy-going from there. Weeks 12-14 see the Falcons, Dolphins, and Bucs. None of these are stellar matchups, but the Saints will need to throw plenty in all of them, which should give Johnson a solid floor. The Fantasy playoffs are where things really get good: with the Panthers, Jets, and Titans.
Johnson will see enough volume to help you grab a playoff spot. From there, he could be a Top-5 option in the games that matter most. He’s on a bad team and doesn’t play this week, so he should be super cheap to acquire.
