Zay Flowers Holds WR2 Value Against Browns
Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers has very consistently hovered around the high-end WR3 to low-end WR2 area this season. He's been getting 7.3 targets per game and turning them into 5.6 receptions for 69.4 yards. The biggest issue is that he hasn't gotten into the end zone since Week 1. He'll go up against the Cleveland Browns in Week 11, who gave up four touchdown passes to Lamar Jackson and company in Week 2. Flowers also had a solid stat line with 11 targets, seven catches, and 75 yards. That puts him squarely into the WR2 conversation again this week, but he does have a WR1 ceiling with Rashod Bateman (ankle) being ruled out for this contest.

Derrick Henry Projects as RB2 in Tough Week 11 Matchup
Baltimore Ravens running back Derrick Henry has yet another tough matchup ahead of him in Week 11 after registering a low-end RB2 finish in Week 10 against the Minnesota Vikings. The veteran goes up against the Cleveland Browns for the second time this season after registering just two fantasy points in half-PPR leagues the first time these two met. Throughout the season, the Browns are the fourth-toughest defense against backfields and have only allowed three touchdowns on the ground all season. They give up just 16.79 fantasy points per game to the whole backfield. While Henry could always break off a big play, he's projected as a high-end RB2 this week.

Dalton Schultz a Borderline Starter in Week 11
Houston Texans tight end Dalton Schultz has been a key PPR contributor this season, and he's a fringe starting option this week against the Titans. The veteran missed practice on Wednesday and Thursday with a shoulder injury, but he does not have an injury designation coming into Week 11. He found the end zone for the first time this season last week against the Jaguars, finishing with seven catches for 53 yards and his score. He has at least five catches in six of his last seven games, and even though his yardage totals haven't been impressive, he's been regularly involved enough to be the TE13 in RotoBaller's rankings for Week 11, as he comes into a favorable matchup against the Titans.

Rookie Jaylin Noel Finding a Role in Houston
Houston Texans wide receiver Jaylin Noel caught all four of his targets for a total of 35 yards last week against the Jaguars, but his role this week against the Titans remains uncertain. The rookie had at least four catches in three of his four games since the bye week, and he outperformed veteran Christian Kirk last week, while almost matching Kirk's snap share as well. Noel seems to be pushing his way into an expanded role in the Texans' passing game, but with Davis Mills under center in place of C.J. Stroud (concussion) this week, the game plan will likely be run-focused in Tennessee. Noel is only the WR86 in RotoBaller's Week 11 rankings, but his workload is worth monitoring in deep leagues since he could have potential when Stroud returns.

Lamar Jackson Still a Must-Start Against AFC North Rival
Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson put up a lackluster performance in Week 10, especially for his standards. It was the only game that he played start to finish and didn't end up in QB1 territory. In Week 11, he takes on the Cleveland Browns, who haven't been very easy for opposing quarterbacks. They're ranked as the fifth-toughest matchup for the position and give up an average of 13.83 fantasy points per game. Jackson was one of only two QBs that has already thrown for 200+ yards and three or more touchdowns against this defense, though. He finished as QB3 in that Week 2 showdown and is projected for the same finish this time around.

Christian Kirk Fading in Houston?
Houston Texans wide receiver Christian Kirk had one of his quietest games of the season last week, despite the Texans airing it out in their comeback win over the Jaguars. Kirk finished with just one catch for three yards on three targets from Davis Mills, who was starting in place of C.J. Stroud (concussion). Mills will start again this week, and the Texans are expected to rely on their run game in their trip to Tennessee to face the Titans. In a reduced role in what is expected to be a conservative game plan, Kirk is just the WR64 in RotoBaller's rankings this week, making him not a great start in most formats.

Jayden Higgins is a Shaky Option in Week 11
Houston Texans wide receiver Jayden Higgins is coming off a career-high five catches last week, when he played the second-most snaps on the team at receiver behind only Nico Collins. He hauled in five catches for 42 yards and his third touchdown of the season. The rookie seems to be settling in as the team's second receiver and is in a generally favorable matchup this week against the Titans. However, since the Texans are expected to rely on their running game and defense instead of their passing game with Davis Mills starting in place of C.J. Stroud (concussion), Higgins is only the WR55 in RotoBaller's rankings this week. He does have touchdown-dependent upside, but he is a high-risk start in most formats.

Nico Collins Still a Strong Start with a Backup QB?
Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins is a good play this week against the Titans, even though he won't have C.J. Stroud (concussion) throwing him the ball, which causes him to slide out of the top 10 in the rankings. Collins had a massive week last week while working with backup Davis Mills, catching seven of 15 targets for 136 yards and tacking on a two-point conversion. The Texans will hope this week's game flow doesn't require Mills to throw 45 times, but it's clear that when the team does air it out, Collins is still the go-to option. Collins has double-digit targets in three straight games, and the Titans have been a good matchup for wide receivers this season. While the risk of a blowout is real, Collins is the WR12 in RotoBaller's Week 11 rankings, making him a strong WR2 option in all formats, even if the volume may be slightly lower this week due to game script.

Nick Chubb Could Find Room to Run Against the Titans
Houston Texans running back Nick Chubb is a touchdown-dependent flex option against the Titans in Week 11, since the Titans have allowed the fourth-most fantasy points to running backs this season. Chubb only played 10 snaps and had five carries against the Jaguars last week since the game script called for the Texans to go pass-heavy, but he had been playing around 50% of snaps before that. He had double-digit carries in four of his previous five games, though, and found the end zone in Week 2 and Week 5. He will likely need to get another touchdown to be a good option in Week 11, since his yardage totals haven't been great. What is great, though, is the matchup, and it boosts Chubb to RB34 in RotoBaller's Week 11 rankings as a result.

San Francisco 49ers D/ST A Risky Stream In Week 11
The San Francisco 49ers' D/ST unit has been a disappointment in fantasy in 2025, in no small part due to its inability to force turnovers or get to opposing quarterbacks. They may get some help in that regard in Week 11 when they meet with the Arizona Cardinals. Arizona has given up six turnovers in its last two games and is allowing the seventh-highest pressure rate and fifth-highest sack rate in the league. The 49ers won't see Cardinals wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. (illness), who had his appendix removed earlier this week. Running back Bam Knight (ankle) is listed as questionable after three straight limited practices, further dampening the Cardinals' prospects on offense. On the Niners' side, starting cornerback Deommodore Lenoir (calf) is listed as questionable after downgrading from a limited practice to a DNP on Friday. San Francisco's track record doesn't offer much optimism, but they are a serviceable streaming option given their matchup in Week 11.

Woody Marks Is In a Favorable Matchup in Tennessee
Houston Texans running back Woody Marks is a decent RB2 and an excellent flex play this week in his rematch with the Titans. In Week 4, he went off for a huge game in his first game against this division foe, racking up 69 rushing yards on 17 carries and adding 50 receiving yards on four catches. He also had one rushing score and one receiving score, and he was back in the end zone last week against the Jaguars, taking 14 carries for 53 yards and adding two catches for 18 yards. The rookie seems to have taken a lead in the backfield over Nick Chubb, but Chubb will still be involved, especially if the Texans are playing from ahead. Marks is the No. 17 running back in RotoBaller's rankings for Week 11, and the Titans have allowed the fourth-most fantasy points to running backs this season, giving him a high ceiling this week.

Eddy Pineiro Ready For Rematch With Cardinals
San Francisco 49ers kicker Eddy Pineiro went 2-for-3 on extra point tries and had no field goal attempts in the team's 42-26 loss to the Los Angeles Rams in Week 10. The miss was Pineiro's second of the season, the other also a failed extra point conversion. Pineiro remains perfect on field goal attempts in 2025, having made good on all 19 tries (including six from 50-plus yards out). Pineiro will seek to extend his streak while the 49ers try to rebound in another divisional matchup against the Arizona Cardinals in Week 11. Back in Week 3, Pineiro walked off the Arizona Cardinals with a 35-yard field goal as time expired, handing his team a 16-15 win over their division rivals. Pineiro clocks in with an average of 10.0 fantasy points per game and is projected as a top-10 option for Week 11, making him an excellent option for fantasy football lineups come Sunday.

Chiefs Defense Could Be Viable Against Broncos In Week 11
The Kansas City Chiefs' defense will take on the Denver Broncos in Week 11. The Kansas City defense had been a solid unit, allowing 17 or fewer points in three straight games, until they faced Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills in Week 10. The Chiefs' defense allowed 28 points in their Week 10 loss to the Bills. The Chiefs' defense will get a chance to bounce back against Bo Nix and the Denver Broncos this week. The Broncos' offense is middle-of-the-pack in points per game this season, and the Kansas City defense has held opposing offenses to the third-fewest points per game this season. The main issue holding the Chiefs back is their lack of takeaways. The Chiefs' defense is tied for the fifth-fewest takeaways this season, which holds back their upside potential. That said, the Chiefs are one of the better teams in point prevention, which could be their saving grace against the Broncos this week. The Chiefs' defense is ranked seventh in our RotoBaller rankings, making them a start-worthy unit this week.

Davis Mills Set to Start in Tennessee Week 11
Houston Texans quarterback Davis Mills will make his second straight start for the team in Week 11 when they visit the Titans, since C.J. Stroud (concussion) will miss a second straight contest. Last week, Mills led the team to a big comeback win in Week 10 over the Jaguars by running for the game-winning touchdown to go with his 20 rushing yards and throwing for 292 yards and two touchdowns. Mills had to attempt 45 passes and connected on 60% of those passes, finishing with 27 completions. The Texans will hope for a very different game script this week, looking to play from ahead against the Titans. If they can do that, Mills shouldn't attempt nearly as many passes, limiting his ceiling. He's only the QB26 in RotoBaller's rankings, so he's a very shaky play since he should be in more of a game manager role this week.

George Kittle "Looking Forward" To Brock Purdy's Return
Earlier this week, San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle told members of the media that he is "looking forward" to playing with Brock Purdy (toe) once again in Week 11, highlighting the quarterback's energy and leadership on the field. Purdy, who has thrown Kittle 21 of his 48 regular-season touchdowns, has not played with Kittle since Week 1. Kittle caught four passes from Purdy for 25 yards and one touchdown in that game before he left early with a hamstring injury that sent him to injured reserve. Also returning from injury in time for the 49ers' rematch with the Arizona Cardinals is wide receiver Ricky Pearsall (knee). Pearsall's presence might take work away from Kittle, but it should also spread the Cardinals' defense out and make it possible for Kittle to be more productive even with fewer targets. As usual, Kittle is projected as a TE1 and should be locked into starting lineups in Week 11.
