Jayden Reed start or sit Week 11 advice. Fantasy football start 'em, sit 'em picks for Week 11 (2024). Should I start or sit Jayden Reed for fantasy football?
BALLER MOVE: Start
POSITIONAL VALUE: WR2
ANALYSIS: Green Bay Packers wide receiver Jayden Reed has had a roller coaster of a season. After a monster game in Week 1, where he racked up 33.1 PPR fantasy points, he had some down games due to an injury to his quarterback, Jordan Love, and some ailments of his own. In between those, though, he's been highly productive.

Christian Watson (75%, 3rd)
Romeo Doubs (71%, 6th)

There's been some issues with his usage and targets that have made him frustrating to own for fantasy managers. He plays on an offense with a ton of pass-catching talent -- he must compete with WRs Christian Watson, Romeo Doubs, and Dontayvion Wicks and tight end Tucker Kraft for targets.

His efficiency stands out, though. He was highly efficient last year, too, so it's probably not a fluke. He has ridiculous speed, quickness, and contested catch abilities. He'd probably produce better on an offense that threw the ball his way more, but that doesn't mean he can't be a solid WR2.
There is WR1 upside every week, simply due to his huge-play ability, but he often must produce on 4-7 targets per game, meaning his ceiling is limited overall. Still, he should be in starting lineups.

Jauan Jennings, Jordan Addison, Deebo Samuel Sr.: Start ‘Em, Sit ‘Em Picks for Fantasy Football Week 9
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings (ribs, ankle, shoulder), Minnesota Vikings WR Jordan Addison, and Washington Commanders wideout Deebo Samuel Sr. are all right in the conversation for WR2 or WR3 status so far this season. They're not quite top-12 players at their positions, but they've shown enough upside to be trusted in starting […]
David Montgomery, J.K. Dobbins, Kenneth Walker III: Start ‘Em, Sit ‘Em Picks for Fantasy Football Week 9
Unfortunately, there are only a handful of elite, absolute-must-start running backs in fantasy football this season. De'Von Achane, James Cook, Christian McCaffrey, Jonathan Taylor, and a few others. There certainly aren't 14 of them, or even 12. This means in nearly every league there are teams that have RBs that they might struggle with making […]
Romeo Doubs, Chimere Dike, Christian Watson: Start ‘Em, Sit ‘Em Picks for Fantasy Football Week 9
The Green Bay Packers have an upstart duo of wide receivers in Romeo Doubs and Christian Watson (knee), and the Tennessee Titans have an emerging speedster rookie WR Chimere Dike. All three of these players fit in to the WR3 conversation -- players you'd consider using as flex options. If your fantasy football squads are […]

With eight weeks of the 2025 NFL season in the books, we're starting to get a better idea of what NFL backfields look like now, and how the workload is distributed between the RBs of each team. At least we are for those rooms that are staying mostly healthy, at least in terms of the […]

As you'll see in this week's Fact or Fiction column, it was a good week to face the Dallas Cowboys defense, though it's kind of always a good week to take on Dallas. The Cowboys' defense has allowed the most passing touchdowns in the league and the second-most passing yards. Additionally, the Dallas run defense […]
