Week 11 Wide Receiver Preview: Does Jameis Winston Make Wan'Dale Robinson a Must Start?

Top Fantasy WRs for Week 11

Let's break down the key usage notes and matchups that are driving our Week 11 WR Rankings.

1. Ja'Marr Chase, CIN

Chase broke records last time against the Steelers going 16-161-1 on 23 targets. With the Steelers refusing to double team him, it was easy for Chase to play pitch and catch with Joe Flacco. The Steelers will likely adjust their defense, but a banged up Steelers secondary should mean production from Chase again. Start Chase.

2. Jaxon Smith-Njigba, SEA

What’s left to be said about JSN? He’s been elite this year, leading the league  in receiving yards (1,041) and target share (39%). He’ll remain a high-volume asset against the Rams.

3. Puka Nacua, LAR

Nacua's seen uncharacteristic target shares of 18% and 23% over the past two weeks. The good news? He’s remained productive with scores in two straight. Plus, he’s no longer on the Rams’ injury report. Start him as usual.

4. CeeDee Lamb, DAL

The Las Vegas defense has played better than expected, but defending wide receivers has been its weakness. The Raiders allow the sixth-most fantasy points to the position. Meanwhile, Lamb has averaged 7 receptions for 98 yards in his five games. He's caught 5-plus balls for 74-plus yards in every game. Lamb has only caught 1 TD so far, but the Raiders have allowed 10 TDs to WRs so far in nine games. Lamb is a reliable fantasy WR1 who carries top-5 upside against a vulnerable opponent.

5. Rashee Rice, KC

Rice went 4-80-0 against the Bills in a game where Patrick Mahomes only completed 15 passes. Rice also had a rushing TD and has been a top-12 PPR WR in every game he has played this year. Without Patrick Surtain, Rice should have the opportunity to remain consistent in his production. He should start in all formats.

6. Drake London, ATL

Drake London caught 5-of-8 targets for 55 scoreless yards against the Panthers in Week 3, but he's playing on a whole different level now. In Atlanta's last five games, London has averaged 11.6 targets, 7.4 receptions, 106.4 yards, and 1.2 TDs per game. Only two teams allow fewer fantasy points per game to WRs than Carolina, but London remains an elite WR1 with a top-5 ceiling in Week 11.

7. Amon-Ra St. Brown, DET

The next time St. Brown catches fewer than five balls in a game will be his first such outing since the season opener.

8. Davante Adams, LAR

Adams landed on the injury report with an oblique injury, costing him Wednesday’s session. He returned on Thursday, though, and is fully expected to play vs. Seattle. The league leader in red zone targets, Adams should be started with confidence.

9. Ladd McConkey, LAC

McConkey popped up on the injury report with an ankle, but he’s not in danger of missing a matchup with Jacksonville. He’s delivered 15+ PPR points in five of his past six matchups.

10. Nico Collins, HOU

Collins saw a season-high 15 targets last week in Houston's spirited come-from-behind victory over the Jaguars. The Texans shouldn't be trailing in this game, but Collins remains an elite fantasy option. He'll square off with a Tennessee defense that has allowed the ninth-most fantasy points to WRs so far in 2025. Collins flashed great chemistry with Davis Mills last week and will be a top-10 fantasy option in Week 11.

11. Jaylen Waddle, MIA

Waddle's finished as a top-25 PPR WR in five of his past six outings. Next up: a Washington pass defense that’s allowed the second-most fantasy points per game on the season.

12. DeVonta Smith, PHI

Smith has outscored A.J. Brown in two straight shared games and six of the eight times they’ve played together this season. He has also delivered PPR scores of 14.4 or better in three straight games and four of his past five, despite Philly’s continued offensive issues.

13. Justin Jefferson, MIN

We can only move Jefferson so far down the ranks when he’s averaging 10.7 targets per game, as he has over the past six contests. That included a season-high 12 looks last week. J.J. McCarthy clearly hurts Jefferson’s fantasy potential, but there were multiple examples of Jefferson being the problem on a particular play last week -- including his third drop of the year (according to PFF). That’s a fixable aspect, and we’d guess Jefferson should feel motivated to rebound from a lackluster outing. A friendly matchup helps. The Bears sit seventh-most generous to WR scoring by our adjusted fantasy points allowed.

14. Emeka Egbuka, TB

Egbuka has double digit targets in 2 of the last 3 games, though last week was the first time he has finished as a top-30 PPR WR since Week 5 (finishing as WR3 overall). With Mike Evans definitely out and Chris Godwin expected to miss this week, Egbuka will remain the No. 1 WR on the team. He has excelled against zone coverage which the Bills run 72.1% of the time. This is a smash spot for Egbuka.

15. George Pickens, DAL

The Raiders allow the sixth-most fantasy points to WRs and don't have the personnel to handle both George Pickens and CeeDee Lamb. Pickens leads Dallas with a 93% route rate and 24% target share, but has been under 100 yards and failed to score in each of the last three games since Lamb returned from a hamstring injury. However, the Raiders have allowed 10 TDs to WRs, and Dallas is implied to score the third-most points (27) this week. View Pickens as a high-end WR2 with top-10 upside in a great spot.

16. Tee Higgins, CIN

Higgins went 6-96-1 last time against the Steelers on 10 targets. If the passing volume remains high, Higgins should come through against a weak Steelers’ secondary. The Steeler currently allow 135 yards per game to outside WRs where Higgins always lines up. He can be trusted in your starting lineup this week.

17. A.J. Brown, PHI

There’s no single factor completely responsible for what’s been a horrible season vs. Brown’s history. But it can’t help that his average separation has declined each of the past three years. According to NFL Next Gen Stats, that number has gone from 2.6 yards in 2022 to 2.4, 2.1, and now 1.8 this year. Brown’s mere three targets at Green Bay marked his lowest tally since Week 1, and he had garnered 8+ in five of his previous six appearances. So we’ll go back to trying him in WR2 territory against a meh Detroit secondary.

18. Wan'Dale Robinson, NYG

Robinson gets a tough individual matchup against the Packers, who rank fifth in adjusted fantasy points allowed to slot receivers. But his volume projection is strong enough to keep Robinson in most fantasy lineups. He's tallied 11+ targets in three of his last four games and is averaging 8.7 in six games without WR Malik Nabers. QB Jameis Winston adds volatility to Robinson's Week 11 outlook, but consider him an upgrade over QB Russell Wilson.

19. Zay Flowers, BAL

Flowers has drawn 11 targets on a 21.2% share in QB Lamar Jackson's two games back from his hamstring injury, posting 5-64-0 and 4-75-0 receiving lines. Baltimore draws a tough Cleveland defense this week. But the Browns are more susceptible to WRs than any other position, ranking 12th in adjusted fantasy points allowed. Flowers caught 7 of 11 targets for 75 yards when these teams met in Week 2.

20. D.K. Metcalf, PIT

Metcalf has a combined 5-41-0 over the last two weeks. The inconsistency of the Steelers passing game has taken its toll on Metcalf who has only scored 1 TD in the last four games after scoring 4 TDs in his first five games. This match-up could be a get right opportunity against the weak Bengals, but he only went 3-50-0 int he last match-up. The Bengals have only allowed one 100-yard WR this season, mostly because they get killed by TEs and the run game. Metcalf can be a boom-or-bust WR2 this week.

21. Rome Odunze, CHI

Odunze has drawn 10 targets in two of his past three games and delivered top-8 PPR lines in each of those contests. Of course, he caught two passes or fewer in the other three games since Chicago’s bye. So his Week 11 production figures to rely on how much the ball flies his way. Minnesota has been a challenging matchup at times but arrives as just the No. 17 defense in total DVOA.

22. Khalil Shakir, BUF Shakir continues collecting targets with 7+ in four of the past five games. He led the Bills with 22.1% of targets last week and could gather even more with Dalton Kincaid hurt. The one downside for Shakir is how successful the Bucs have been against slot WRs, allowing only 6.8 yards per target, 9th in the league.

23. Tetairoa McMillan, CAR

McMillian's volume has been good. He ranks ninth among all WRs with a 28% target share, but his potential has been handicapped by suboptimal QB play. Bryce Young has only thrown for 200 yards once all season and hasn't thrown a TD in back-to-back games. That lack of TD volume has also hurt McMillian, who has only scored in one game all season. Week 11 doesn't look like the kind of game that sets up favorably for Carolina's lackluster passing attack. The Falcons allow the eighth-fewest fantasy points to WRs. McMillian will see plenty of looks--he ranks 12th with 77 targets--but his upside is capped by a tough matchup and Young's struggles.

24. Quentin Johnston, LAC

Johnston was limited in practice with a shin injury, but he’s fully expected to play vs. the Jags. He draws a Jacksonville defense that’s allowed the third-most deep ball completions in 2025.

25. Tre Tucker, LVR

No. 1 WRs have averaged 18.2 PPR points per game against the Cowboys. That isn't the role Tucker is best suited for, but he enters this game as the Raiders' de facto top wideout. Tucker had a 100% route rate last week, his first game without Jakobi Meyers. Tucker had a 3-score game earlier this season against the Commanders. We can't expect that kind of performance again, but Week 11 sets up very favorably for Tucker to post WR2/3 numbers against a Dallas defense that allows the second-most PPR points per game to opposing WRs.

26. Stefon Diggs, NE

Played on Thursday Night

27. Deebo Samuel, WAS

In four games with Marcus Mariota, Deebo has posted lines of 2-11, 6-72-1, 3-11, and 4-29-1. That’s life with a backup QB. Now, without Terry McLaurin, Samuel should at least draw a solid target share against a thin Miami secondary.

28. Romeo Doubs, GB

Doubs was knocked out of Week 10's game vs. the Eagles with a chest injury. But he's been a full-go in practice this week and will play vs. the Giants on Sunday. Doubs had averaged 8.2 targets and 5.4 catches across five games prior to last week and will remain a big part of this Tucker Kraft-less Packers offense going forward. We're expecting a run-centric game plan from Green Bay against the Giants this Sunday, but there's nothing scary about the matchup for Doubs.

29. Jauan Jennings, SF

Jennings has caught 4+ balls in four straight games, including a 6-71-1 receiving line against the Rams last week. That marked his second-best stat line this season. QB Brock Purdy’s return this week carries potential to boost the pass offense further, and the 49ers sit tied for the week’s fourth-highest score projection.

30. Xavier Worthy, KC

Worthy has taken a step back since Rashee Rice stepped into the lineup. He went 3-23-0 on 7 targets last week and had one run. He has only finished as a top-36 PPR WR in two games this year. His first round pedigree and speed makes him a threat for a long TD, but Worthy can be benched for better options.

31. Jameson Williams, DET

Williams’ usage improved last week, with HC Dan Campbell taking over, including season highs in catches and yards and more opportunities in the shorter range. This week finds a much tougher matchup against the Eagles (as opposed to the Commanders), leaving Williams as an upside WR3.

32. Courtland Sutton, DEN

The Broncos lack of passing success has taken its toll on Sutton. He went 3-24-0 against the Raiders last week and has only been a top-36 PPR WR in one of his past five games. If the Broncos need to chase points, Sutton could earn some garbage time catches, but the Chiefs have been stout against WR1s. Sutton can be benched.

33. Parker Washington, JAC

Washington enters with recent fantasy finishes at WR31, WR18, and WR31. He’s a fill-in WR3, especially if the Jags remain without Brian Thomas Jr. (ankle).

34. Ricky Pearsall, SF

The 49ers have kept Pearsall limited in practice this week but expect him to be ready for Sunday’s game against an iffy San Francisco secondary. HC Kyle Shanahan cautioned this week that the second-year wideout will need time to get his conditioning back up after being out since Week 4 with a PCL injury. But Pearsall beats just about every other option from low-WR3 range down in upside. That makes him worth a serious look for Week 11 lineups.

35. Troy Franklin, DEN

Franklin has emerged with Marvin Mims missing multiple games. Franklin went 5-40-1 last week against the Raiders despite Bo Nix only throwing for 150 yards. He has emerged as an option, but Mims will return potentially cutting into Franklin’s production. In a tough match-up, he can be benched.

36. Jerry Jeudy, CLE

Jeudy finally delivered a nice fantasy line in Week 10, catching six balls for 78 yards and a score. It took him 12 targets to get there ... but he saw 12 targets! Jeudy should get nice volume again this Sunday with the Browns 7.5-point underdogs to the Ravens. Just don't expect pretty efficiency.

37. Michael Wilson, ARI

Wilson trails well behind Marvin Harrison Jr. for third on the team in targets this season. But Harrison’s absence vaults his target-share potential against a weak San Francisco defense. An aDOT dramatically deeper than Greg Dortch’s also makes Wilson easily the better bet for receiving yards over his slot-heavy teammate. Just don’t overrate the upside for an outside WR who has reached 80 receiving yards just twice in 38 career games.

38. D.J. Moore, CHI

Moore’s practice participation has picked up after his Week 10 shoulder injury kept him out Wednesday. We’ll see about his game status and any clues about whether his usage will change. Moore will be unattractive for fantasy use even if good to go, though. He has topped five targets in a game just twice all season.

39. Rashid Shaheed, SEA

Shaheed posted a 62% route rate in his Seahawks debut. That number could rise as he gains comfort in the offense, especially with rookie Tory Horton looking iffy for Sunday's game.

40. Calvin Austin III, PIT

Austin struggled against the Chargers going 2-14-0 with a couple drops to boot. The good news is that he is averaging over 6 targets per game since returning for injury. If the Bengals put focus on D.K. Metcalf, Austin could emerge for along play or TD. He didn’t play the last time these two teams met, so Austin could be a desperation flex play this week.

41. Keenan Allen, LAC

Over his past three, Allen's totaled only 8 grabs for 104 scoreless yards. He's notched one score over his past seven. With L.A’s pass catchers at full strength, Allen’s reduced role could continue moving forward. He’s a risky WR3.

42. Christian Watson, GB

Watson's route rate has climbed from 65% to 75% to 83% over the last three weeks. But he's drawn just four targets in all three games. Watson's massive 25.9-yard average target depth needs to come down if he's going to be a reliable fantasy play. Consider him a boom/bust WR3 in Week 11 fantasy lineups, but the matchup is good against a Giants defense that's allowed the fourth most completions of 20+ air yards (17).

43. Keon Coleman, BUF

Last week, Coleman had his most targets since Week 1 with 8, but he only caught 3. His long TD helped make a decent fantasy day, but that can’t be relied upon. Dalton Kincaid being out may help, but Coleman needs a TD to be worth it. He should stay on the bench.

44. Tez Johnson, TB

Johnson caught 4 of 5 targets last week for 42 yards and 2 TDs. He has 4 TDs in his last four games and has become a TD-dependent option moving forward. Johnson is on the field for 83.4% of dropbacks, but hasn’t gone over 60 yards receiving in any game this year. He is a desperation play this week with the Bucs as underdogs.

45. Jakobi Meyers, JAC

Meyers tallied a 50% route rate and a 16% target share in his Jacksonville debut. That one came without Brian Thomas Jr., although he could miss another week with his ankle injury. Regardless, the Bolts supply a difficult matchup. Only the Broncos have allowed fewer fantasy points per game to WRs.

46. Jordan Addison, MIN

Overshadowed by Justin Jefferson’s struggles, Addison has gone for just 48 and 35 yards in his two games with QB J.J. McCarthy. Last week’s 3-35 receiving line came despite 11 targets. The efficiency should improve, especially with a soft Chicago defense up next. But Minnesota also figures to lean much more toward the run when not trailing opponents. McCarthy averaged just 22 pass attempts across his first three appearances before jumping to 42 in last week’s loss to the Ravens.

47. Malik Washington, MIA

Washington has scored in two his past three games, but his appeal remains limited by an extreme short-range role. Averaging 6.4 yards per catch, the second-year pro hasn't topped 50 yards in any game. He’s just a deep-league Flex in PPR setups.

48. Chimere Dike, TEN

Dike had a pair of solid games before the Chargers shut him down in Week 9. This week, he'll face a similarly talented secondary in the Texans, who have allowed the fifth-fewest fantasy points to WRs. Additionally, the potential return of Calvin Ridley could cause Dike to fall to WR3 duties on an offense that ranks 31st in passing and carries an implied total of 16 points in Week 11. If Ridley sits, Dike is a deep-league WR4/flex option at best.

49. Elic Ayomanor, TEN

In Week 4, Ayomanor led the Titans with 7 targets against these Texans, but the rookie WR only came down with 2 receptions for 44 yards. Houston allows the fifth-fewest fantasy points to opposing WRs, and the Texans have only allowed 5 TDs to the position all season. Combined with Tennessee's 16-point implied total and you get a low ceiling for Ayomanor.

50. Darnell Mooney, ATL

It's been a struggle for Mooney, who has been held to 1 catch and produced fewer than 20 receiving yards in each of his last three games. This week's matchup doesn't appear to be the kind of opponent that will make it easy for Mooney to break out of his slump. The Panthers have allowed the third-fewest fantasy points this season to WRs. However, the good news is that Mooney did catch a season-high 4 balls on 11 targets against Carolina in Week 4. But considering his struggles all season, Mooney is a deep-league WR4/flex option at best.

51. Matthew Golden, GB

We're tentatively expecting Golden back from his shoulder injury for Sunday's game vs. the Giants. There's nothing scary about that matchup, and Golden finds increased opportunity with TE Tucker Kraft out for the season. But the rookie hasn't done anything to deserve a spot in fantasy lineups yet. He's reached 60 receiving yards in just one game all season and is still looking for his first TD.

52. Greg Dortch, ARI

Dortch’s short-range game keeps him a low-ceiling option. His aDOT -- a mere 4.9 career, according to PFF -- sits all the way down at minus-1.1 this year. Expect that to come up with an elevated role this week, thanks to Marvin Harrison Jr. being out following appendix surgery and Zay Jones (Achilles’) being done for the season. Dortch could be a sneaky source for reception upside, with Jacoby Brissett throwing 44% of his passes to the short range so far. Facing a 49ers team tied for the week’s fourth-highest point projection adds volume potential. And Brissett ranks second in the league in pass attempts per game since stepping in.

53. Mack Hollins, NE

Played on Thursday Night

54. Marvin Mims Jr., DEN

Mims returns from a concussion and may lose snaps to an emerging Troy Franklin. He is a threat for a deep catch, especially if the Broncos have to play catch-up in this game. He should be benched until we see how the Broncos use him.

55. Cooper Kupp, SEA

Kupp’s on the injury report with wrist/hamstring injuries. Look for him to play against a Rams defense that’s fourth-best in yards after catch allowed to WRs. Kupp also enters this one with only one score this year.

56. Olamide Zaccheaus, CHI

Zaccheaus has caught 6+ balls in two of his past three games. The 58 yards he collected against the Bengals, though, marked the first time all year he exceeded 42. And he has posted just three games of more than 33 yards, with 1 TD. So there’s some mild reception upside but a low ultimate ceiling.

57. Demario Douglas, NE

Even with WR Kayshon Boutte out last week, Douglas ran a route on just 31% of Patriots pass plays. He could certainly pop for another big play in Thursday night's plus matchup vs. the Jets. But Douglas is impossible to trust in fantasy lineups.

58. Jalen Coker, CAR

The Falcons are a tough matchup for Carolina's WRs, but Coker offers a glimmer of hope. He's caught 3 passes in two of his last three games. Since debuting in Week 7, Coker has been on the field for 69% of Carolina's snaps and earned a modest 13% target share. Still, he hasn't topped 36 receiving yards all season or scored a TD since Week 15 of the 2024 campaign. Coker is little more than a desperation bye-week replacement in deeper leagues.

59. Christian Kirk, HOU

Houston's offense was humming in the fourth quarter last week, but Kirk had his quietest game of the season, catching only 1 pass for 3 yards. He was in on just 43% of the Texans' snaps, which is disappointing usage. Still, Kirk played 57% of Houston's snaps in his previous four games and made 3-4 grabs in each contest. He should rebound here against a Titans' defense that has given up the ninth-most fantasy points to WRs. View Kirk as a deep-league WR4/flex option with limited upside.

60. Kyle Williams, NE

Williams flashed his elite speed with a 72-yard TD last week. But, even with Kayshon Boutte out, the rookie finished with just that one catch on two targets and a 58% route rate. You could play him as a flier in one-game daily contests, but Williams can't be trusted in season-long lineups.
