Should I Start Aaron Jones for Fantasy Football?

Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones is coming off a disappointing performance in his second fully healthy game. The veteran running back had 13 rushes for 35 yards on the ground and four catches on six targets for just 19 yards. Despite the lackluster output, his volume remains significant, with 41 touches recorded in the last two weeks.

In Week 11, the Packers face the Chargers, who allow the sixth-most points per game to running backs this season. Given Jones's involvement in all facets of the offense, he is considered a solid play and is expected to be more effective against a struggling Chargers defense. Jones ranks as a solid RB2 ahead of a favorable matchup against the Chargers.

He is the RB17 in our half-PPR consensus staff rankings.

Should I Start George Pickens for Fantasy Football?

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver George Pickens has not been very effective in recent weeks, managing just three catches for 45 yards in the team's Week 10 win over the Packers. After recording three 100-yard games in the first six games of the season, the 22-year-old has accumulated only 66 yards over his last three games and appears frustrated with his limited involvement.

In Week 11, the Steelers face the Browns, who allow the second-fewest points per game to receivers this season. The return of Diontae Johnson has pushed Pickens down in the pecking order on a struggling offense. With a tough matchup and a questionable role in a struggling offense, Pickens ranks as a WR4/flex option against the Browns.

He is the WR40 in our half-PPR consensus staff rankings.

Should I Start Diontae Johnson for Fantasy Football?

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Diontae Johnson turned in his worst output of the season in Week 10, finishing with just one catch for 17 yards. Prior to last week, the 27-year-old had been on fire, recording at least five catches and 79 yards in each of the three games before.

The matchup this week isn't ideal, as the Browns allow the second-fewest points per game to receivers. In what could be another AFC North slugfest, Johnson is a low-ceiling option but is likely to see a solid amount of targets regardless. As a result, he ranks as a low-end WR2/high-end WR3 ahead of their Week 11 matchup against the Browns.

He is the WR26 in our half-PPR consensus staff rankings.
