As we near the start of the fantasy football playoffs, making the right start 'em, sit 'em decisions at WR3 and flex is just as important as locking in your set-it-and-forget-it WR1s and 2s. Due to matchups, injuries, and targets, each week lends itself to a new set of sleepers and potential bust candidates. Our Week 11 fantasy WR rankings for standard leagues can help you in what figures to be a tough week at fantasy's "deepest" position.
Tee Higgins, Tyler Boyd, Jakobi Meyers, and Garrett Wilson are the most notable WRs back from bye, but we lose Tyreek Hill, Jaylen Waddle, Mike Evans, Christian Kirk, Tyler Lockett, DK Metcalf, and Chris Godwin. While the WR position is deep enough to endure a four-team bye week, this week’s losses feel like they sting more than usual, especially when you factor in the loss of Miami's and Jacksonville's poor pass defenses. Since a good deal of plug-and-play wides are unavailable, there’s a chance you’re looking for a formidable replacement option in the free-agent pool.
If that’s the case, check and see if Terrace Marshall Jr. (@ Ravens in Week 11), Devin Duvernay and Demarcus Robinson (@ Panthers), Darius Slayton and Wan'Dale Robinson (vs. Lions), Michael Gallup (vs. Vikings), Nico Collins (vs. Commanders), DeAndre Carter (vs. Chiefs), and Marquez Valdes-Scantling and Kadarius Toney (@ Chargers) can be scooped off of waiver wires. The target floors for all will vary, but favorable matchups await. MVS and Toney are especially intriguing after JuJu Smith-Schuster (concussion) exited early and Mecole Hardman (abdomen) sat out Week 10.
WEEK 11 PPR RANKINGS:
QBs | RBs | WRs | TEs | D/STs | Kickers
Smith-Schuster wasn't the only notable WR who got dinged up in Week 10. Cooper Kupp (ankle) and Jerry Jeudy (ankle) don't look good for Week 11, paving the way for disappointments Allen Robinson II (@ Saints) and Courtland Sutton (vs. Raiders) to see more targets and be borderline "must-starts." Van Jefferson (@ Saints), Ben Skowronek (@ Saints), and Kendall Hinton (vs. Raiders) also have some deep-league flex appeal, but it's tough to trust any of these receivers in underperforming offenses.
WEEK 11 STANDARD RANKINGS:
QBs | RBs | TEs | D/STs | Kickers
Romeo Doubs (ankle), Mike Williams (ankle), Keenan Allen (hamstring), and Ja'Marr Chase (hip) have also been on the shelf lately. It's unlikely Doubs or Chase return, but both Chargers have a shot at suiting up. If even one returns, Josh Palmer (vs. Chiefs) would lose some value, but a favorable matchup still gives him upside. Similarly, Christian Watson (vs. Titans) has plenty of potential given the matchup, and the expected higher target share is just icing on the cake.
WEEK 11 DFS LINEUPS: DraftKings | FanDuel
Among bubble receivers, DeVonta Smith (@ Colts), Curtis Samuel and Jahan Dotson (@ Texans), Garrett Wilson (@ Patriots), Robert Woods, Treylon Burks, and Nick Westbrook-Ikhine (@ Packers), Drake London (@ Bears), Donovan Peoples-Jones (@ Bills), Parris Campbell (vs. Eagles), and Mack Hollins (@ Broncos) might underperform relative to their projections because of tough matchups. We still think Smith, Wilson, and Samuel should be in most lineups, while London, DPJ, and Campbell have a lot of upside, too. Some of these WRs are better suited for PPR leagues, but they have a decent floor in standard leagues. Still, check to see if better alternatives are available before blindly slotting them into your lineups.
WEEK 11 DFS: Best stacks | Best values
Some of those better alternatives might already be on your roster, like Darnell Mooney and Chase Claypool (vs. Falcons). Either way, this is the time of year when every start 'em, sit 'em decision needs to be carefully scrutinized. You're going to have to take a few leaps of faith at WR this week, be it by starting a decent player in a bad matchup or going with an inconsistent player in a good one, so assess your team's needs and pick the option that makes the most sense for you.
WEEK 11 FANTASY PICKS: Sleepers | Busts | Start 'em, sit 'em
Note: We'll be updating these WR rankings as needed throughout the week, so check back for the latest changes.
