Houston Texans rookie wide receiver
Jayden Higgins turned in the best performance of his young career in Week 10, catching five of seven targets for 42 yards and a touchdown in the 36-29 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. The 2025 second-round pick has struggled to carve out a consistent role in Houston's offense, often seeing limited snaps behind the team's other outside receivers. However, for just the second time this season, Higgins outsnapped
Xavier Hutchinson, who has played 66% of the team's offensive snaps overall. If Higgins continues to earn more playing time, he could emerge as the Texans' WR2 and a sneaky fantasy contributor down the stretch. He'll look to build on his momentum in Week 11 against the Tennessee Titans.

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver
Calvin Austin III has struggled to capitalize on his opportunities in 2025. Through seven games, he's caught 21 of 36 targets for 237 yards and two touchdowns. Despite rumors that Pittsburgh might add another wideout at the trade deadline to complement
D.K. Metcalf, no deal materialized, keeping Austin in the WR2 role. However, his Week 10 miscue, a dropped pass that led to an interception, hurt the team and could affect his standing with quarterback
Aaron Rodgers. With trust being critical in Rodgers' offense, Austin needs to show more consistency and playmaking ability. For now, he holds some fantasy value based on volume alone, but he'll need to step up to remain a reliable option.

New York Giants quarterback
Jameis Winston is set to make his season debut in Week 11 against the Green Bay Packers. After spending most of the season as the team's QB3, Winston gets the nod with rookie
Jaxson Dart in concussion protocol and
Russell Wilson demoted. In seven starts last season with the Cleveland Browns, the former first-overall pick averaged 291 passing yards with 13 touchdowns and 12 interceptions. He'll face a tough challenge against a Packers defense that has allowed the eighth-fewest fantasy points to quarterbacks this year. As always, Winston brings plenty of volatility, making him a classic high-risk, high-reward option for Week 11.

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver
Ricky Pearsall (knee) is a receiver that could make an impact as the season progresses. After missing the last five games with a PCL injury, Pearsall returned to practice Wednesday alongside quarterback
Brock Purdy, who's also been sidelined with a toe injury. With both players trending toward returning, fantasy managers should keep Pearsall on their radar. In his three full games this season, the rookie recorded 16 receptions on 24 targets for 281 yards, though he has yet to score a touchdown. With
Brandon Aiyuk's return still uncertain, Pearsall carries WR2 potential and is a strong buy-low candidate in fantasy.

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver
Parker Washington (hamstring) made a big impact in Week 10, contributing in multiple ways and showing startable fantasy value moving forward. Washington caught three of seven targets for 33 yards and a touchdown, while also scoring on a punt return in the 36-29 loss to the Houston Texans. With
Travis Hunter (knee) out for the season, Washington is set to take over as the Jaguars' full-time slot receiver. He's played 87% and 85% of the offensive snaps over the last two weeks, both of which were team highs. While
Brian Thomas Jr. and
Jakobi Meyers will be key parts of the offense, Washington offers intriguing upside and is worth rostering in all leagues. While Washington's usage should be more consistent the rest of the year with Hunter out, fantasy managers will want to monitor his status ahead of this weekend after he did not practice on Wednesday with a hamstring injury.

Arizona Cardinals running back
Trey Benson (knee) could quickly become a hot commodity in fantasy circles as he nears a return from injured reserve. Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon said Wednesday that he did not have an update on the running back's status, but he is now eligible to have his practice window opened at any time. Fellow running back
James Conner (ankle) will miss the rest of the year, so Benson figures to have a clear hold of the No. 1 spot in the backfield upon his return, giving Benson rest-of-season potential even if he doesn't play in Week 11. Some redraft managers lost their nerve and dropped him during the IR stint, which would make him an easy addition, but he's also a sensible trade target for managers thinking about making a playoff push.

Buffalo Bills wide receiver
Keon Coleman bounced back in Week 10, catching three of eight targets for 46 yards and a touchdown in the surprising 30-13 loss to the Miami Dolphins. After his explosive Week 1 performance raised expectations for a breakout season, Coleman has topped 40 yards just twice since then, leaving some fantasy managers debating whether to move on. However, he remains one of
Josh Allen's top targets alongside
Khalil Shakir. Notably, in the only two games this season where Allen has thrown for more than 275 yards, Coleman has delivered strong outings. His fantasy value is tightly tied to Allen's production, which suggests brighter days could be ahead. While consistency will likely remain an issue, Coleman still carries upside whenever the Bills' passing attack gets rolling.

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver
Greg Dortch has a pathway to seeing more targets in Week 11 with his team set to play the San Francisco 49ers without top wideout
Marvin Harrison Jr. (appendectomy). The former Wake Forest man scored a rushing touchdown last week, but has not caught a pass since Week 7. Dortch has always been a volatile fantasy option given his unpredictable usage in the Cardinals' offense. In one two-week stretch earlier this year, he played 64% of the team's snaps one week, then 7% the next. He'll still be solidly behind tight end
Trey McBride and wide receiver
Michael Wilson this week, but the absence of Harrison opens the door for more usage. Managers in deeper leagues who need a Week 11 fill-in can consider him a high-risk, high-reward option.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
