Nate Sheppard a Risky Starting Option Going into Very Tough Test
Duke running back Nate Sheppard has put together a really good season, but a very stiff test against Miami in Week 11 is a reason for fantasy managers to be skeptical of starting him. He has 1,189 rushing yards and 17 touchdowns over 191 attempts so far, plus 32 receptions for 306 yards and four scores in the passing game. Sheppard has eight rushing touchdowns over his past two games, so most fantasy owners are going to start him no matter what. It's hard to argue against that based on what he's done overall this season. Miami is a brutal matchup, though, with the defense allowing just 19.2 points and 323.7 total yards, with just 64.3 of those yards on the ground. Temper expectations with Sheppard, but only bench him if you have viable replacements.

Jeremiah Smith Remains High-End Fantasy Option for Week 11
Ohio State wide receiver Jeremiah Smith continues to put up notable fantasy scores despite his team being on a two-game losing streak. The wideout had 133 receiving yards and a touchdown across seven receptions in the team's loss to Oregon in Week 10. Smith has at least one touchdown grab in six straight appearances, and he has at least 68 receiving yards in every contest this season. His outlook remains high for Week 11, which is a matchup against Northwestern. The Wildcats are allowing 365.4 total yards and 19.3 points per game. With the Buckeyes on a two-game skid, expect the offense to lean on Smith, leading to a big fantasy showing for the must-start player.

Brent Venables Not On the Hot Seat
Oklahoma Board of Regents chair Rick Nagel said that head football coach Brent Venables was not on the hot seat. Nagel added that there was no hot seat and that they had just extended Venables' contract. Oklahoma is 5-4 this season and is coming off an upset road win over Florida. The Sooners' offense is averaging 338.4 total yards and 22.1 points per game, while the defense is allowing 293.3 total yards and 19.2 points, so it's been a defense-led team this season. Venables is 37-24 as the team's head coach since taking over in 2022. The Sooners have two 10-win seasons over five years, but have topped out at six wins otherwise.

Aiden Flora Remains Quality Fantasy Option for Week 11

Yamir Knight Looks to Keep Delivering in Tougher Week 11 Test
SMU wide receiver Yamir Knight has delivered big over the past two weeks, but he heads into a tougher Week 11 matchup against Wake Forest. The Demon Deacons are allowing 310 total yards and 15.9 points per game this season, so this will be a bit of a stiffer challenge for Knight. The wide receiver went for 103 yards and three touchdowns across six receptions in Week 10 against Virginia Tech - he also had two rushes for 11 yards in that contest. Knight had 80 yards and a score across six grabs in Week 9 against Syracuse, so he's a receiver on the rise. He has 626 receiving yards and six scores on 50 receptions overall this season, plus has rushed for four yards on three attempts.

He's also caught 26 passes for an additional 224 yards and a score. Ford has at least 19 carries in three straight appearances, and has at least three catches in all those contests. On a big workload alone, he's a good fantasy option, and factoring in a solid matchup too, Ford should be starting in most leagues for Week 11.
