The Carolina Panthers defense is a deeper option to consider against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 11. Last week, the Panthers' defense held the Saints to 17 points. This marked the third time in the last four games the Panthers' defense has not let their opponent score more than 20 points. Carolina will be facing
Michael Penix Jr. in Week 11. This is the second matchup of the season against the Falcons' QB. Penix threw two of his three total interceptions of the season against Carolina in their Week 3 matchup. Week 3 also marked the only time this season that the Falcons were shut out. Fantasy players looking for a streaming option on Defense should consider Carolina against their division rival. Penix has been sacked eight times in the last four weeks, including three last week against the Indianapolis Colts' defense. The Panthers' D/ST unit is ranked 14th this week on RotoBaller.com.

Carolina Panthers tight end
Ja'Tavion Sanders had his best game since Week 2 vs. the New Orleans Saints in Week 10, although the numbers were still mediocre. The Carolina tight end had five receptions, 32 yards, and registered 8.2 PPR Fantasy Points. Carolina's Week 11 matchup against the Atlanta Falcons presents a nightmare scenario statistically for Sanders. The Falcons rank second in Fantasy Points Per Game allowed against the TE position this season. Atlanta is one of only three teams in the league to give up only one receiving TD to TEs while also surrendering the second-fewest receiving yards (275) to the position this year. With one of the worst matchups for his position, Sanders should be ignored by fantasy players who are looking for a TE to stream this week.

Carolina Panthers wide receiver
Jalen Coker is not worth consideration for fantasy lineups in Week 11 against the Atlanta Falcons. In Week 10, Coker had three receptions for 21 yards. The second-year wide receiver has never been targeted more than four times in a single game this year. He also has not posted more than 6.6 PPR Fantasy Points in four games played this season. Carolina will be up against the Atlanta Falcons, who rank eighth in Fantasy Points allowed to WRs this season. Although Coker showed promise last year, his totals this season are underwhelming. The matchup against Atlanta is unfavorable for WRs. Fantasy players should continue to leave Coker on the free agent list for Week 11.

Detroit Lions tight end
Brock Wright (ankle) has seen minimal usage in his team's pass game so far this season, recording nine catches for 71 yards and two touchdowns on 11 targets across nine games played. However, the absence of Lions tight end
Sam LaPorta (back) could push Wright into a far more prominent role in Week 11 against the Philadelphia Eagles. Wright is also listed as questionable for Sunday's game due to an ankle injury, but he's expected to be able to play. In the lone game that LaPorta missed for the Lions in 2024, Wright recorded one catch for five yards and a touchdown on one target against the Jacksonville Jaguars. The 26-year-old Wright has scored 11 touchdowns across 67 career games, but he's never played a sizable role in Detroit's passing game. Even with LaPorta sidelined, fantasy managers should avoid starting Wright in Week 11 against Philadelphia.

Carolina Panthers wide receiver
Xavier Legette may not be a factor in Week 11's matchup against the Falcons. Last week against the Saints, Legette failed to catch his lone target and was held to zero fantasy points for the first time this season. Outside of Week 7 against the Jets, where he totaled 92 receiving yards, one touchdown, and 24.2 PPR Fantasy points, Legette has been an afterthought this year. The Carolina WR has yet to score over five PPR Fantasy Points outside of Week 7 and has not been targeted more than three times in the past three games. The Falcons rank eighth in Fantasy Points allowed to WRs at 27.8 per game. Considering that the Panthers will rely on their run offense against an Atlanta defense ranked 29th in Fantasy Points Per Game allowed to RBs, Legette likely won't be involved in the offensive flow again. He should not be considered for usage in any format.

Carolina Panthers rookie first-round wide receiver
Tetairoa McMillan posted just adequate numbers but was Carolina's top wide receiver again in Week 10 against the Saints. The rookie WR totaled 11 Fantasy PPR Points with 60 yards on five receptions. Week 10 was the third time in the last five weeks that McMillan posted double-digit PPR points totals. Carolina's opponent for Week 11 is the Atlanta Falcons, who rank eighth in Fantasy Points allowed to WRs this season. Atlanta has a run-funnel defense that allows 26.53 points to RBs this season, which ranks 29th in the league. Look for Carolina to rely more on their ground game this week. Despite Carolina's run-heavy approach, McMillan provides enough of a respectable statistical floor to be a starter in fantasy leagues.

Carolina Panthers running back
Chuba Hubbard is locked in as the backup running back for the Panthers. Last week against the Saints, Hubbard played on 21% of snaps, logged 14 yards on three carries, and finished with just 2.5 Fantasy PPR Points. Since his Week 7 return from a calf injury, Hubbard has totaled 96 rushing yards and is averaging 5.3 PPR Fantasy Points Per Game. Hubbard should only be rostered as a handcuff to those who roster
Rico Dowdle.

Carolina Panthers running back
Rico Dowdle has a highly favorable matchup against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 11. Atlanta ranks 29th in Fantasy Points Per Game allowed to running backs. The Falcons' run defense was trampled in Week 10 by
Jonathan Taylor, who registered 244 rushing yards, three TDs, and 49.6 PPR Fantasy Points. In his last six games, Dowdle had four rushing touchdowns, averaged 5.8 yards per carry, and averaged 21 PPR Fantasy Points Per Game. Dowdle is a must-start in all formats in Week 11, as he is capable of being a major fantasy difference-maker.

Carolina Panthers quarterback
Bryce Young is not worth consideration for fantasy lineups in Week 11. The Carolina QB logged under five Fantasy Points Per Game and did not throw any passing touchdowns in Weeks 9 and 10. This season, Young has averaged 11.6 Fantasy Points Per Game and registered over 20 points only once. Fantasy players should not expect an adequate performance out of Young against the Atlanta Falcons. In Week 3 against Atlanta, Young finished with 121 passing yards, scored one rushing TD, and earned just 11.6 fantasy points. Leading up to Week 11, Atlanta ranks seventh in Fantasy Points Per Game allowed to QBs. The Falcons have a vulnerable run defense, allowing 26.59 Fantasy Points Per Game, which ranks 29th in the league to RBs this season. Expect Carolina to rely on their running game in Week 11 to stay competitive. Fantasy players should leave Young reserved for Week 11. He should only be considered in superflex leagues if your regular QB2 is out and there are no options available otherwise.

Minnesota Vikings tight end
T.J. Hockenson hasn't been a consistent fantasy option all season. While he's stayed healthy, which is a plus, he has only 31 catches for 241 yards and two touchdowns. To be fair, the Vikings offense hasn't looked the best, with
J.J. McCarthy still having issues adapting to life as a quarterback in the National Football League. Hockenson likely has a few more trips to the end zone up his sleeve before the conclusion of the 2025 campaign. However, since he hasn't been the most trustworthy fantasy option, managers will be rolling the dice by featuring him in their lineups for Sunday's NFC North showdown with the Chicago Bears.

Through nine games this season, Detroit Lions wide receiver
Jameson Williams has recorded 27 catches for 474 yards and four touchdowns on 43 targets. Encouragingly for his fantasy outlook, the majority of the 24-year-old's production has come in recent weeks. Williams has now recorded at least six targets, 66 receiving yards, and a touchdown in three out of his last four games, including a season-high 119 receiving yards in Week 10 against the Washington Commanders. Williams and the Lions will face a much tougher test in Week 11 against the Philadelphia Eagles. Through 10 weeks, Philadelphia has allowed the ninth-fewest passing yards (1,979) in the NFL, and they are tied with the Denver Broncos for the fewest passing touchdowns allowed (eight). However, the Lions will be without tight end
Sam LaPorta (back). That could lead to a few extra targets for Williams, particularly if Detroit is chasing points. Williams still has bust potential, but he profiles as a solid fantasy WR3 in Week 11.

Detroit Lions wide receiver
Amon-Ra St. Brown has been one of the most productive pass-catchers in the NFL so far this season, hauling in 64 catches for 693 yards and eight touchdowns on 82 targets across nine games played. However, the Lions have a difficult matchup in Week 11 when they travel to Philadelphia to take on the Eagles. Through 10 weeks, Philadelphia's defense is tied with the Denver Broncos for the fewest receiving touchdowns allowed (eight) in the league. Still, St. Brown should have plenty of chances to make his mark in Week 11 as the clear lead weapon in the Detroit passing game. Additionally, the 26-year-old's already sizable target share could get even bigger due to the absence of tight end
Sam LaPorta (back). St. Brown profiles as a must-start fantasy wide receiver in Week 11 against Philadelphia.

Denver Broncos tight end
Evan Engram had high expectations from fantasy managers heading into the 2025 campaign, although it's safe to say he hasn't delivered. Most assumed that a change of scenery would benefit him. Head coach Sean Payton also led many to believe Engram would hold a pivotal role on the offensive side of the ball. However, that hasn't happened, with the 31-year-old catching 28 passes for 227 yards and one touchdown in nine appearances. With some time left before the end of the regular season, Engram has a chance to turn things around, but, until that happens, he has no business being in fantasy lineups. Keep him on the bench for the Week 11 AFC West clash with the Kansas City Chiefs.

According to team reporter Jim Wyatt, Tennessee Titans running back
Kalel Mullings (ankle) won't be activated for Sunday's contest against the Houston Texans. The rookie practiced in a limited capacity throughout the week. Although he's seemingly nearing a return from his lengthy stint on the IR because of an ankle injury, it appears he'll need at least one more game before potentially getting the green light to get on the field. Mullings didn't log a snap in any of his appearances this season. As long as
Tony Pollard and
Tyjae Spears are in the mix, that isn't expected to change even when he's cleared to come off the Injured Reserve list. As of now, the 23-year-old has no value for redraft participants. On the other hand, he can remain stashed in dynasty formats.

Tennessee Titans tight end
Chig Okonkwo (foot) is off the injury report heading into the Week 11 meeting with the Houston Texans. The 26-year-old was limited in practice throughout the week due to a foot injury, although it won't keep him off the field for Sunday's contest. Despite having plenty of preseason hype, Okonkwo has failed to meet expectations for fantasy managers. In nine games, he's amassed only 29 catches (39 targets) for 281 yards while failing to score a touchdown. Granted, Okonkwo still has more snaps than
Gunnar Helm. However, Helm has at least found the end zone. All things considered, with
Cam Ward under center, neither player has done enough to earn a spot in most fantasy lineups. Keep both benched against one of the top defenses in the National Football League.
