Over 70 percent of the fantasy football regular season has passed, meaning we're now in the home stretch. To boost your squad's chances of ending this pivotal week in the win column, our Week 11 sleeper list highlights overlooked players in plus matchups, including Ty Chandler, Christian Watson, Devin Singletary, and Josh Dobbs.
We always stress that any of our sleeper picks could disappoint in Week 11. We like to take some chances with our sleeper picks because recommending a bunch of "must-starts" simply isn't needed. You shouldn't start our sleeper picks over proven, early-round studs, but if your roster is already loaded with stars, then you don't need our advice anyway. If nothing else, our sleeper picks can help you find DFS values, as the prices of these players should be affordable.
Several of our Week 10 sleeper picks, including Brian Robinson Jr., Trey McBride, Josh Dobbs, Jaylen Warren, Kyler Murray, and Raiders' D/ST all had solid games, likely helping fantasy owners earn a much-needed "W" last week. We'll look to continue our hot streak into an even more critical week of the regular season.

Fire up this week's crop of potential breakout candidates into your starting lineup.
WEEK 11 FANTASY ADVICE: Busts | Projections | Start-sit
Fantasy RB Sleepers Week 11
Zach Charbonnet, Seahawks @ Rams (Nick Musial). Charbonnet outsnapped Kenneth Walker 42-38 in Week 10, and while much of that was gamescript-related with the Seahawks playing from behind, the rookie's role is undoubtedly increasing by the week. Charbonnet was efficient as a ball carrier in limited touches last week, averaging 7.3 yards per carry on six runs. Hopefully, that means Shane Waldron will give Charbonnet a heftier workload in a potentially positive game script against the reeling Rams.
Devin Singletary, Texans vs. Cardinals (Vinnie Iyer). Get right back on this train in a plus matchup at home after his breakout game in the zone-blocking scheme. He should be busy again vs. a bad Arizona run defense even if Dameon Pierce (ankle) returns.
Ty Chandler, Vikings @ Broncos (Matt Lutovsky). With Alexander Mattison in concussion protocol, Chandler looks set to start against Denver’s last-ranked run defense. He scored even when Mattison was healthy last week, and he wound up with 15 carries, showing he’ll get plenty of use if he’s Minnesota’s starter. Don’t overthink this if Mattison is out, and even if he plays, Chandler showed last week that he'll be involved.
WEEK 11 STANDARD RANKINGS:
QBs | RBs | WRs | TEs | D/STs | Kickers
Fantasy QB Sleepers Week 11
Trevor Lawrence, Jaguars vs. Titans (Musial). Lawrence had a brutal fantasy day in Jacksonville's 34-3 blowout loss to San Francisco, totaling just 2.10 points. While fantasy owners might write him off ahead of this critical week, we like Lawrence's chances of a bounce-back effort. Tennessee's pass defense remains one of the least efficient, allowing the third-highest dropback success rate (49.3 percent). Additionally, Tennessee's defense struggles to generate pressure (17.4 percent; 28th), so plenty of clean pockets should add up to a strong showing from T-Law.
Josh Dobbs, Vikings at Broncos (Iyer). Dobbs should keep it rolling with his key weapons having great matchups, and he can also take on more running, too, in what can be a sneaky back-and-forth Sunday night affair with Russell Wilson on the other side.
Jordan Love, Packers vs. Chargers (Lutovsky). Love doesn’t have a particularly high ceiling against anyone, but a matchup against L.A.’s last-ranked pass defense figures to help him produce low-end QB1 numbers.
WEEK 11 PPR RANKINGS:
QBs | RBs | WRs | TEs | D/STs | Kickers
Fantasy WR Sleepers Week 11
Rondale Moore, Cardinals @ Texans (Musial). Moore's usage spiked with Kyler Murray back under center, as he saw a season-high eight targets in Week 10. Houston's defense is exploitable through the air (just look at Joe Burrow's and Baker Mayfield's passing numbers in the past two weeks), so we could see one of his trusted targets take another step forward.
Jayden Reed, Packers vs. Chargers (Iyer). Reed stepped into a great slot matchup and came through vs. old man Steeler Patrick Peterson last week. He gets another fantastic spot against youngster Ja’Sir Taylor, who helped serve up a big game to Amon-Ra St. Brown last week. To Ja’Sir with Jordan Love, often.
Christian Watson, Packers vs. Chargers (Lutovsky). We’re trying to speak this one into existence. Watson actually led the Packers in targets (7) last week and always gets at least one deep shot and end-zone look every game. Eventually, he’s going to connect with Love on one of those, and this feels like the week against the Chargers’ last-ranked pass defense.
WEEK 11 DFS:
DK lineup | FD lineup | Best values | Best stacks
Fantasy TE Sleepers Week 11
Chig Okonkwo, Titans @ Jaguars (Musial). Okonkwo hasn't come close to his preseason sleeper billing, but a matchup against a Jaguars defense that entered Week 10 allowing the second-most fantasy points per game (FPPG) to tight ends gives him plenty of sleeper appeal. Will Levis' gunslinger play style boosts Okonkwo's rest-of-season outlook, and his steady route participation numbers could translate to a TE1 type of fantasy performance.
Michael Mayer, Raiders at Dolphins (Iyer). The Dolphins’ cornerbacks will try to be more effective vs. Davante Adams and Jakobi Meyers, but there’s no question Miami can struggle in the middle of the field. Let’s hope the rookie beast gets more chances from Aidan O’Connell to use his size, hands, and quickness.
Logan Thomas, Commanders vs. Giants (Lutovsky). The Giants have been solid against TEs this year, but they gave up a touchdown to Jake Ferguson last week and Thomas went for 51 yards on four catches against them in Week 7. He can better those numbers this week and should pay off as a TE1 in PPR leagues.
Fantasy Defense Sleepers Week 11
Seattle Seahawks @ Rams (Musial). Although Matthew Stafford has had time to heal from his thumb injury, he figures to be a little rusty on Sunday. The Seahawks' defensive line can hurry him up and cause some problems.
Minnesota Vikings at Broncos (Iyer). They are making some big plays of late with sacks and picks under Brian Flores, and Denver will provide those key opportunities with Russell Wilson, even in a road spot.
Detroit Lions vs. Bears (Lutovsky). Everyone was off the Lions last week – and rightfully so – but get back on board for this layup. The Bears have been generous to D/STs regardless of who starts, allowing the third-most FPPG. Take advantage.
