Brian Thomas Jr. a Risky Flex In Potential Injury Return
Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr. (ankle) is a risky flex play in Week 11 against the Los Angeles Chargers. He missed last week against the Houston Texans, and is currently questionable. BTJ has been underwhelming for fantasy managers this season, so even if he does return from injury, he is tough to trust in lineups in a difficult matchup. Until he shows he is healthy and ready to contribute, BTJ is hard to trust in fantasy lineups beyond a shot in the dark in the flex spot. Fantasy managers can start Thomas Jr. in Week 11 if they want, but it’s a bit of a risky move at the moment.
Chris Boswell An Elite Fantasy Option in Week 11
Pittsburgh Steelers kicker Chris Boswell had an uncharacteristically rough outing in Week 10, hitting his lone extra-point try but converting on just one of his two field goal attempts in the loss to the Los Angeles Chargers. His miss from 45 yards was a rare slip for the veteran, who is typically automatic from inside 50 yards when weather and field conditions aren't a factor. Fortunately, he's in a great spot to bounce back at home against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 11. Sunday's contest carries a high projected point total, setting the stage for plenty of scoring opportunities. The 34-year-old checks in as a top-three option in RotoBaller's kicker rankings this week and should remain locked into fantasy lineups.

Dawson Knox Remains Tough to Trust Despite Opportunity for Increased Playing Time in Week 11
Through nine games this season, Buffalo Bills tight end Dawson Knox has recorded 12 catches for 155 yards and a touchdown on 18 targets. However, he could see a significant role increase in Week 11 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers with Bills TE1 Dalton Kincaid (hamstring) sidelined by a hamstring injury. With Kincaid absent due to injury in Week 6, Knox scored his lone touchdown of 2025. Still, he recorded just one catch for 19 yards on two targets in that game. Tampa Bay has also been fairly stingy against tight ends so far this season, allowing an average of five receptions and 43 yards per game to the position. Even with Kincaid out, Knox will still likely split playing time to some degree with Bills tight end Jackson Hawes. At best, Knox profiles as a desperation deep-league streamer at the tight end position for fantasy managers in Week 11 against Tampa Bay.

Trevor Lawrence Remains a QB2 Against Chargers
Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence remains a clear QB2 against a solid Los Angeles Chargers defense in Week 11. Lawrence struggled in Week 10 against a great Texans pass defense, and he has a similar matchup with the Chargers. They rank as one of the top defenses in fantasy against quarterbacks, which means a low ceiling for the former top pick. A lot of his weapons are also banged up, making things even harder for Lawrence. He has had some boom games when he gets involved in the rushing game, but his inconsistency keeps Lawrence in QB2 territory in Week 11.
Parker Washington a Decent Flex Play Against Chargers
Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Parker Washington (hamstring) has been great the last two weeks, but that will be tough to maintain in a difficult Week 11 matchup with the Los Angeles Chargers. That is especially true after a week of minimal practice participation. Washington has 16 targets over the last two weeks, with Week 10 putting him in position as the top receiving option with Brian Thomas Jr. out. With BTJ potentially returning this week, Washington’s floor decreases a bit. However, he has shown upside no matter who else is playing due to his short-range catching ability and his ability on special teams. Like the rest of the Jaguars' offense, it is hard to predict what will happen for Washington this week, making him a decent flex at best in Week 11.
Luther Burden III On Verge of Breakout, Faces Tough Matchup Against Vikings
Chicago Bears wide receiver Luther Burden III is starting to ascend as the fantasy playoffs near. Last week, Burden hauled in all three targets for 51 yards, outperforming both D.J. Moore and Olamide Zaccheaus. Something to look into, Burden played 52% of the snaps in Week 10, which was by far his largest snap share of the season. Moore and Zaccheaus saw their snap count dip in Week 10, and if Burden can continue to produce, his role will grow even further. He faces a tough Vikings secondary, which has allowed the eighth fewest fantasy points to wide receivers in 2025. Burden is on the brink of breaking out, but a tough matchup on the slate could hurt his fantasy value in Week 11.

Noah Fant a Desperation Streaming Option in Week 11
Cincinnati Bengals tight end Noah Fant has had a small uptick in fantasy production of late. While the volume hasn't been there, the veteran has at least found the end zone in two of the Bengals' previous three contests. With Mike Gesicki (pectoral) still on the shelf, Fant remains the favorite to stay the team's go-to tight end for Joe Flacco (shoulder), at least for the next few games. However, that doesn't mean Fant is a starting fantasy option for the Week 11 meeting with the Pittsburgh Steelers, although he can be viewed as a dart-throw streamer for those participating in deep league, multi-tight end formats.

Can Keon Coleman Carry Over Increased Target Volume into Week 11?
Buffalo Bills wide receiver Keon Coleman has mostly been a frustrating player for fantasy managers so far this season, recording 32 catches for 330 yards and three touchdowns on 49 targets across nine games. However, Coleman is coming off one of his better outings in Week 10, hauling in three catches for 46 yards and a touchdown on eight targets against the Miami Dolphins. There's reason to believe that the 22-year-old's increased target volume could carry over into his Week 11 matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, as Buffalo will be without one of its top pass-catchers in tight end Dalton Kincaid (hamstring). However, the Bills will get veteran wideout Joshua Palmer (knee/ankle) back on the field for the first time since Week 4, which could cut into Coleman's opportunities. Coleman's production has almost directly correlated with his team's pass volume so far this season. The three games where Bills quarterback Josh Allen has cracked 30 pass attempts this season are the only three games where Coleman has earned seven or more targets. He profiles as a boom/bust low-end WR3 in Week 11, and fantasy managers should be hoping for Buffalo to be forced into a pass-happy game script against Tampa Bay.

Tahj Brooks May Get Extra Snaps in Week 11, Still Can't be Trusted
Cincinnati Bengals running back Tahj Brooks hasn't done much of anything in his inaugural year. He had the chance to at least claim the No. 2 spot on the depth chart behind Chase Brown. While that wasn't expected early in the season, most had assumed he'd take over as the backup by now. However, that hasn't happened, with Samaje Perine (ankle) still absorbing nearly all of Brown's surplus carries while seeing limited action as a pass-catcher. With Perine ruled out for the Week 11 AFC North battle with the Pittsburgh Steelers, there's potential for Brooks to get more involved. Unfortunately, Brooks likely won't see much more work, if any, which isn't good news for those in need of a deep league streaming option on Sunday. For now, the rookie should be stashed on dynasty rosters while having virtually no redraft value.

Darnell Mooney a Dicey WR4/Flex Play in Week 11
Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Darnell Mooney will be hard to trust for fantasy in Week 11 after registering his fourth one-catch performance in his last five games last week. On the bright side, he drew eight targets in last week's loss, which was just as many as No. 1 wideout Drake London (illness/back). Drops (now with four on the season) and the inaccuracy of Michael Penix Jr. could again limit Mooney in Week 11 against the Panthers, a defense that has allowed the fifth-fewest half-point PPR points to opposing wide receivers this season. If London, who was limited in practice on Thursday and Friday, were to miss the game, it could be beneficial for the 28-year-old receiver, although it was TE Kyle Pitts Sr. who benefitted from London's absence in Week 8 (nine receptions, 59 yards), not Mooney (one catch, 11 yards). In a 30-0 loss in Week 3 to the Panthers, the sixth-year pro caught four passes on 11 targets (31 percent of his season target total) for 44 yards, but the veteran wideout sets up as a risky WR4 play this week, with a near-zero floor and limited upside.

Rams Defense Still Worth Starting Despite Tough Matchup
The Los Angeles Rams defense/special teams unit remains startable in deeper fantasy leagues ahead of Week 11 against the Seattle Seahawks. Los Angeles has been quite impressive this season, with their defense ranking fifth among D/ST units in fantasy football. The Rams have forced two turnovers in each of their last two games, preparing them nicely for a tougher matchup against the Seahawks. Seattle's offense is averaging the third-most points per game in 2025, creating a challenge for Los Angeles on Sunday. The Rams rank 12th among defensive units in RotoBaller's weekly expert rankings, making them borderline startable despite the tough divisional opponent.

Pat Freiermuth Eyes Another Score Against Cincinnati
Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Pat Freiermuth has scored three touchdowns in the past four weeks and is set to take on a familiar foe in the Cincinnati Bengals this week. Freiermuth has a long history of success against the Bengals, most recently erupting for 111 yards and two touchdowns when these division rivals met in Week 7. Though the weekly target distribution between Pittsburgh's three tight ends is unpredictable, Freiermuth has outpaced both Jonnu Smith and Darnell Washington in fantasy scoring since the Steelers' Week 5 bye. None of them are safe options in Week 11, but Freiermuth's recent chemistry with quarterback Aaron Rodgers and his track record against the Bengals give him the highest ceiling of the group. He has appeal as a streaming option in what could be another shootout.

D.J. Moore Difficult to Trust in Week 11
Chicago Bears wide receiver D.J. Moore is off the injury report heading into Week 11, but is still struggling to find a role in this offense. In 2025, Moore is averaging his fewest catches, yards, and touchdowns in his entire NFL career, and currently ranks as the WR46 on a per-game basis. His struggles were well demonstrated in Week 10, when Moore was held without a catch against the New York Giants. The veteran receiver will look to bounce back against the Minnesota Vikings, who have allowed the eighth fewest fantasy points to wide receivers this season. While the Bears could look to get Moore involved early in the game, he is still a hard player to trust starting in fantasy matchups this week.

Khalil Shakir Could See Target Spike in Week 11
Buffalo Bills wide receiver Khalil Shakir (ankle, ribs) logged a full practice on Friday and does not carry an injury designation into his team's Week 11 matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The 25-year-old has been a steady contributor in Buffalo all year, recording 45 catches for 457 yards and three touchdowns on 58 targets across nine games. Entering Week 11, Shakir has recorded at least seven targets and six catches in three straight contests. He could see an even further increase in target share against Tampa Bay due to the absence of Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid (hamstring). The Buccaneers defense has been a bottom-10 unit this season in terms of yards allowed per pass attempt (7.4). Shakir doesn't carry explosive upside, but he should provide a very stable floor, given the combination of his opponent and his upside for targets. In Week 11, Shakir profiles as a low-end fantasy WR2.

Andrei Iosivas Looking to Build on Productive Week 9 Effort
Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Andrei Iosivas had the best year of his brief career in 2024. Granted, he saw extra attention due to Tee Higgins struggling to stay healthy. Still, many assumed the wideout would play at least a little better this season. However, that hasn't happened, with Iosivas amassing one catch or less in six of his nine appearances. He's coming off his most productive showing of the 2025 campaign, bringing in five of his seven targets for 66 yards and a touchdown in the loss to the Chicago Bears in Week 9. Despite a solid effort, he still has a long way to go before being considered a starting option by fantasy managers. With that said, as long as Higgins and Ja'Marr Chase are on the field, Iosivas can't be trusted in any fantasy format. That will likely remain the case even if Higgins or Chase miss time. Keep him out of the lineup for the AFC North showdown with the Pittsburgh Steelers.
