Michael Wilson A Hot Addition For Week 11
Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Michael Wilson has seen his fantasy value surge with his team set to play Week 11 without top wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. (appendectomy). Tight end Trey McBride continues to be the team's No. 1 pass catcher, but Wilson is third on the team in most receiving categories and should be the No. 1 receiver this week. The Cardinals, who have had a rotating cast of running backs and are playing with backup quarterback Jacoby Brissett, have been one of the toughest teams to gauge in the NFL for fantasy leagues. Wilson is earning a middling 6 yards per target and has only 22 catches through nine games, so managers shouldn't expect a week-winning performance, but Wilson's likely increase in volume could be worth a look in deeper leagues or as a one-week fill-in.

Commanders Open Drake Jackson's Practice Window
The Washington Commanders are opening the 21-day practice window for defensive end Drake Jackson (knee), according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. The former USC standout tore his patellar tendon while playing for the San Francisco 49ers in 2023 and did not play at all in 2024. The Commanders signed him last month and immediately placed him on injured reserve, though the opening of his practice window suggests he will make his return to the field at some point in 2025. It's too little, too late for Washington, which is 3-7 and currently without starting quarterback Jayden Daniels (elbow). For fantasy purposes, the Washington D/ST will be avoidable the rest of the way.

Terry McLaurin Spotted Working Out At Practice
Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin (quad) is working on the side of the team's Thursday practice with athletic trainers after missing Wednesday's practice, according to John Keim of ESPN. Despite McLaurin's appearance at practice, the Commanders have already ruled him out for Week 11's game at Miami. The former Ohio State standout will have missed seven games heading into a Week 12 bye, part of a nightmarish year for a Washington team coming off a run to last season's NFC Championship Game. McLaurin has been one of fantasy football's bigger disappointments in 2025, but with a return seemingly likely in Week 13, he could be a welcome addition for managers making a playoff push.

Travis Hunter To Be A One-Way Player?
Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Liam Coen said any discussion about making wide receiver/cornerback Travis Hunter a one-way player in the future is "premature," according to Michael DiRocco of ESPN. Hunter (knee) is out for the remainder of the 2025 season following surgery to repair an LCL injury, which has only amplified questions about whether he will continue to play both offense and defense. The former Heisman Trophy winner was billed as a once-in-a-generation player, although many doubted he would be able to withstand the same number of two-way snaps that he played as a standout at Colorado. For fantasy managers, especially those in dynasty formats, Hunter becoming only a wide receiver would be the absolute best-case scenario. Offensively, Hunter finished his rookie season with 28 receptions for 298 yards and a touchdown in seven games.

Brian Robinson Jr. Earning More Touches in San Francisco?
San Francisco 49ers running back Brian Robinson Jr. is coming off his best two games since joining the team. Robinson handled eight carries for 41 yards and a touchdown in Week 10's loss to the Rams, following his Week 9 performance against the Giants, where he had 53 yards and a touchdown on five carries. The 26-year-old finally found the end zone and has run well as the primary backup behind Christian McCaffrey this season. His 4.9 yards per carry would be the highest of his career over a full season, and he remains one of the premier handcuffs in fantasy. It's possible that the coaching staff lightens up McCaffrey's workload down the stretch to keep him fresh for a potential playoff run and gives Robinson a path to real standalone value. But if McCaffrey were to miss any time, Robinson would immediately slot in as a high-end RB2 in Kyle Shanahan's offense.

Drake Maye Could Showcase Rushing Upside in Front of National Audience
New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye remains a must-start in fantasy football ahead of Thursday Night Football against the New York Jets in Week 11. Maye is coming off a solid 270-yard, two-touchdown game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers that made him the highest-scoring quarterback in fantasy football this season. He continues to flash a high completion rate, consistent scoring tendencies, strong passing yardage efficiency, and impressive rushing abilities, allowing him to stand atop the fantasy football podium while leading the Patriots to an 8-2 start (and a seven-game win streak). This week, Maye gets a relatively favorable matchup against the Jets, who have allowed the 10th-most fantasy points and fifth-most rushing yards to opposing quarterbacks in 2025. Maye remains a high-end QB1 for this divisional matchup on national television.

Malik Washington Remains Consistent Piece of Dolphins Offense
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Malik Washington has been a fairly consistent contributor for the offense since Tyreek Hill (knee) went down in Week 4. Washington has served as a lite version of Hill, with plenty of designed targets and jet sweeps to get the ball in his hands. The per catch efficiency has been modest for the 24-year-old, with his 6.4 yards per reception ranking third lowest out of 117 wide receivers with at least 100 routes this season, per Fantasy Points Data Suite. Washington remains among the top Miami pass catchers in routes run and has recorded multiple receptions in all but one game this season. Washington has also scored twice in the past three weeks and gets a glorious Week 11 matchup against a Washington Commanders defense that has allowed the second-most PPR points per game to opposing wide receivers.

Patriots Defense Licking its Chops Ahead of Jets Matchup
The New England Patriots defense/special teams unit is a must-start in fantasy football ahead of a favorable Week 11 matchup against the New York Jets. This divisional showdown will take place on Thursday Night Football, putting a potentially lopsided game in front of a national audience. New England's defense ranks fifth among fantasy D/ST units in scoring this year, and while they haven't forced a turnover in the last two weeks, they did tally eight turnovers in the four weeks before that. The Jets have the chance to be one of New England's softest matchups this season, as the Justin Fields-led offense is averaging just 21.7 offensive points per game (eighth-worst in the NFL). The Jets, who will be without Garrett Wilson (knee) on Thursday, have also allowed the ninth-most fantasy points per game to opposing D/ST units this season. A favorable matchup bodes quite well for the Patriots D/ST, which ranks #2 in this week's RotoBaller expert rankings.

Andy Borregales Looks to Keep Perfect Streak Alive in Week 11
New England Patriots kicker Andy Borregales should continue to be a reliable scoring option during Thursday Night Football against the New York Jets in Week 11. After a shaky start to the season, Borregales has found his footing and rattled off an impressive eight-game streak of perfect kicks. During that span, he's 26-for-26 on extra points and 9-for-9 on field goals. He still ranks as the overall K15 this year due to the Patriots' relatively lower frequency of field goal attempts, but managers should remain confident that the kicker will deliver when called upon. In fact, we could see him get more involved this week against the Jets, who have allowed 26.8 offensive points per game (seventh-most in the NFL). From a fantasy perspective, they've allowed the NFL's most fantasy points per game to opposing kickers at 10.8, which is a full point higher than the second-worst team. All the stars are aligning for Borregales to have a big showing on Thursday Night Football. He's a top-12 kicking option heading into Week 11.

Hunter Henry a Scoring Threat Against Jets in Week 11
New England Patriots tight end Hunter Henry is a solid fantasy football starter in Week 11 against the New York Jets. Henry only had one catch last week, but he has been targeted 10 times over the last two games and is the overall TE15 in PPR leagues this year. This Thursday night, he should see increased volume with backup tight end Austin Hooper (concussion) sidelined. Hooper's absence leaves Henry as the Patriots' only healthy tight end on gameday, excluding fullback/tight end Jack Westover, who has one target and zero catches this year. Therefore, Henry, who has already been playing more than three-quarters of the snaps and leading his position group in targets, should be even more involved against the Jets. In addition to Hooper's absence, Henry stands to benefit from a very favorable matchup, as the Jets have allowed the second-most touchdowns to tight ends in 2025. Managers should view the 30-year-old as a top-12 tight end in fantasy football this week.

Tre Tucker Primed For More Production?
Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Tre Tucker has had a productive season in nine games this season, catching 34 of his 46 targets for 455 yards and four touchdowns, leading the team in all categories except targets. Tucker was quiet in the first week after the Raiders traded Jakobi Meyers to Jacksonville, catching two of three targets for 28 yards in their Week 10 loss at Denver. But both sides struggled offensively in that game, and Las Vegas finished with only 143 total receiving yards. The recent return of Brock Bowers will likely draw more defensive attention, potentially creating more opportunities for Tucker to hit on explosive plays down the field. Tucker ranks as WR31 with 107.1 total PPR points, with 40.9 of those coming in Week 3 versus the Washington Commanders. It is still the most PPR points by a wide receiver in a game this season. Tucker will have flex value in a favorable matchup against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 11.

DeMario Douglas Unlikely to Benefit from Teammate's Absence
New England Patriots wide receiver DeMario Douglas isn't expected to see an increase in volume despite Kayshon Boutte (hamstring) being ruled out for a second consecutive week. Douglas caught just two passes on a 21 percent snap share with Boutte sidelined last Sunday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, so he should handle similar volume on Thursday Night Football against the New York Jets in Week 11. The 24-year-old has been a solid depth contributor this year, but it appears that he's firmly entrenched behind Stefon Diggs, Mack Hollins, and Kyle Williams in the pecking order. Fantasy managers should leave Douglas on the bench or the waiver wire this week.

Kyle Williams Due for More Opportunities in Week 11
New England Patriots wide receiver Kyle Williams should continue to see more involvement during Thursday Night Football against the New York Jets in Week 11. Williams is coming off a strong outing against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in which he posted a season-high (and, thus, career-high) 56 percent snap share. He caught one of two targets in the victory, breaking off an impressive 72-yard touchdown that wound up on numerous highlight reels. While we can't count on the rookie to break off a huge touchdown every week, last Sunday's big play should be enough to earn him more opportunities going forward. His volume will also continue to benefit from the absence of Kayshon Boutte (hamstring), who is headed for his second consecutive absence. Williams still has to compete with players like Stefon Diggs, Mack Hollins, and DeMario Douglas for volume, but he's certainly starting to earn the trust of Drake Maye and New England's coaching staff. Williams is a WR5 with a low floor and high ceiling this week. Managers in most leagues can leave him on the bench until we see him consistently earn more targets.

Mack Hollins Remains Appealing High-Volume Threat Against Jets
New England Patriots wide receiver Mack Hollins has emerged as quarterback Drake Maye's favorite target lately, and he should continue to remain highly involved against the New York Jets on Thursday Night Football in Week 11. Hollins has 15 catches over his last three games, including at least six catches in two of those three contests. Last week against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, with Kayshon Boutte (hamstring) sidelined, Hollins caught six of his 10 targets for 106 yards. This was his first 100-yard game since 2022 with the Las Vegas Raiders. Not only has the 32-year-old receiver earned Maye's trust, but he'll also remain a central piece of the game plan with Boutte sidelined for a second consecutive week. Hollins was a bit of a non-factor at the start of the year, but he has started to emerge as a household name and should rank as a low-end WR3/flex against a struggling Jets squad.

Luther Burden III Set for More Opportunities Moving Forward
Chicago Bears rookie wide receiver Luther Burden III is in line for more opportunities moving forward after a strong performance in Week 10 against the Giants and positive coachspeak from head coach Ben Johnson after the game. Johnson spoke glowingly of Chicago's rookie second-rounder, saying that "he's the guy that's starting to get more targets" and adding that the trust level between Burden and quarterback Caleb Williams "continues to ascend." The 21-year-old is certainly deserving of more work with how efficient and dynamic he's been with his limited looks. Out of 115 wide receivers with at least 15 targets this season, Burden's 12.3 yards per target ranks fourth highest, per Fantasy Points Data Suite. Burden's stock is trending up, and he's a strong hold in 12-team leagues.
