Should I start Wan'Dale Robinson, Jauan Jennings, Deebo Samuel Sr. for Week 11? Fantasy football start 'em, sit 'em picks and recommendations for the 2025 NFL season.
We're already in Week 11 of the 2025 NFL season, and start/sit decisions are becoming more critical with the fantasy playoffs looming. The injuries to quarterbacks around the league have been one of the stories of the season, and they've had a clear ripple effect on how wide receivers are producing in fantasy.
In this article, we will look at three wide receivers who have been affected by that: New York Giants Wan'Dale Robinson, San Francisco 49ers Jauan Jennings, and Washington Commanders Deebo Samuel Sr. Jennings gets his Week 1 starter back with Brock Purdy returning this week, while Robinson and Samuel both work with backups.
So, should fantasy managers start Robinson, Jennings, and Samuel in Week 11? Let's dive in.

Should I Start Wan'Dale Robinson for Fantasy Football?
Jameis Winston is set to make his first start of the season in place of an injured Jaxson Dart (concussion). The Winston experience is usually positive for his wide receivers, and Robinson should be in line for a productive day. Darius Slayton's vertical skillset is the best stylistic fit for Winston, but he isn't expected to play in Week 11 due to a hamstring injury.
Since Week 5, the week after Malik Nabers (knee) went down, Robinson leads the Giants with a 25.5% target share and has averaged 60.8 receiving yards per game. It's still mostly underneath targets with a 6.6 aDOT, but he's been asked to run more deep routes this season, and he's been making plays. The 24-year-old wideout has 10 catches for 273 yards and a touchdown on 16 targets on deep throws this season, per FTN Fantasy. Compared to last season, Robinson had just three catches for 61 yards on nine targets in 17 games.

Robinson will be Winston's primary target for the Giants' first game this season without Brian Daboll as head coach. They'll be facing a tough Packers defense that is allowing the eighth fewest receiving yards per game to opposing wide receivers (132.6), and they've given up the fewest yards per game to slot targets (40.2), where Robinson aligns 71.1% of the time. Robinson is a viable start as a low-end WR2/flex where he should see plenty of volume in Week 11, ranking as RotoBaller's WR33 in PPR formats.
Should I Start Jauan Jennings for Fantasy Football?
As Jennings has gotten further removed from the string of injuries he was dealing with earlier in the season, he's picked up right where he left off in his breakout season last year. Over the past four weeks, Jennings has led the 49ers with a 26% targets per route run, racking up 18 catches for 188 yards and two of his three touchdowns on the season.
The 49ers are getting two key players back this week against the Cardinals, with starting quarterback Brock Purdy and wide receiver Ricky Pearsall both returning. Both players have been sidelined since Week 4, but San Francisco is getting close to having their full complement of weapons all back on the field together. Pearsall was playing well before going down and could take away some targets, but Jennings has been the primary target earner for the 49ers, even with their key players healthy.

The 28-year-old is coming off two of his three highest-scoring fantasy performances of the season, with his best coming back in Week 2 against the Saints with Purdy as the starter. While Mac Jones was very good in Purdy's absence, Purdy's return is a big boost for the 49ers. Jennings will have more target competition in Week 11 versus the Arizona Cardinals, but he still projects as a solid WR2/WR3 and should be started in most 12-team leagues.
Should I Start Deebo Samuel Sr. for Fantasy Football?
Samuel's production has dipped in recent weeks after a hot start to his time in Washington. The 29-year-old recorded 30 receptions for 300 yards and three touchdowns to go with seven carries for 46 yards and another score on the ground through the first five games. Over his past four games, he's totaled just 16 catches for 96 yards and a touchdown on 22 targets, with three carries for three yards.
The former San Francisco 49er has been managing a heel injury throughout the season, which caused him to miss Week 7 against the Cowboys and could still be impacting him. Samuel will also be without starting quarterback Jayden Daniels (elbow) as Washington travels to Madrid in Week 11 to face the Miami Dolphins. Washington has been wiped out with injuries all over their roster, and especially at wide receiver, which could set up Samuel for a busy day.
What made Samuel look like an early-season smash relative to his ADP was showing the ability to win on routes down the field again, in addition to the manufactured touches to maximize his elite YAC ability. In the first five weeks, he led the team with 10 receptions for 179 yards on 16 targets on throws with 10 or more air yards. But over the past four games, that aspect of his game has been nonexistent. Samuel has just one catch on four targets for 19 yards on these throws, the lowest on the team.

Samuel should still be in line to lead Washington in targets, even though they've trended much more run-heavy with Marcus Mariota at quarterback. He continues to get the usage you want to see near the goal line and projects as a solid WR2 for Week 11. Samuel ranks as RotoBaller's WR20 in PPR leagues.
