                        Fantasy Baseball Week 11 Preview: Top 10 sleeper hitters include Ryan Waldschmidt, Josh Jung
Scott White highlights ten sleeper hitters available in fewer than 80 per cent of leagues

CBS Sports fantasy analyst Scott White has published a comprehensive preview for Fantasy Baseball Week 11, identifying ten sleeper hitters who may offer value for managers seeking waiver wire additions. The analysis, released on Sunday evening, focuses on players who are rostered in less than 80 per cent of CBS Sports leagues, positioning them as strategic options for injury fill-ins or hot-hand plays rather than established must-starts.

The preview highlights Ryan Waldschmidt and Josh Jung as the top candidates among the featured group. White notes that while these players are not guaranteed starters, they often represent the best available options for managers looking to bolster their rosters during the upcoming scoring period. The selection criteria prioritise availability and potential upside over consistent weekly performance.

The report includes specific matchup data for ten MLB teams, providing context for the suggested plays. The teams featured in the analysis are the Twins, Phillies, Brewers, Giants, Reds, Cardinals, Guardians, Orioles, Mets, and Rockies. This data is intended to help fantasy managers assess the quality of opposition and identify favourable matchups for the identified hitters.

The publication of this preview aligns with CBS Sports' broader coverage of the 2026 MLB season. Earlier in the month, on 14 May 2026, the outlet published its HQ PM Newsletter, which aggregated live scoring, news, and statistics across major American sports, including detailed insights into MLB betting and NHL playoff matchups. This week’s fantasy analysis continues that trend of providing granular data to support decision-making for sports enthusiasts.

The source material contains fragmented team abbreviations and numerical data, such as "Twins CHW3, KC42" and "Cardinals TEX3, CIN3," which appear to represent specific matchup indicators or scoring contexts. While the exact nature of these numbers is not explicitly defined in the summary, they form part of the detailed breakdown provided by White to guide fantasy managers through the complexities of Week 11 roster construction.
