Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver
DK Metcalf has been incredibly quiet over the past two weeks, but he'll look to get back on track against the division-rival Cincinnati Bengals in Week 11. Cincinnati has been middle-of-the-pack against fantasy wideouts overall, though they've been notably tough on opposing WR1s lately. Still, it is difficult to overlook the potential for a shootout, as this contest carries one of the highest projected point totals of the week. While Pittsburgh's tight ends are likely to get involved, Metcalf remains the clear top target for quarterback
Aaron Rodgers and should see frequent usage on Sunday, especially if both offenses are trading scores. There is plenty of risk associated with starting Metcalf, but he offers a strong amount of upside as a low-end fantasy WR2 against the Bengals.

Pittsburgh Steelers running back
Jaylen Warren had his most productive outing of the season against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 7, and he'll look to replicate that success against them at home in Week 11. Cincinnati has been shredded by opposing backs all year, surrendering the most fantasy points per game, the second-most yards per carry, the fourth-most receiving yards, and the second-most total touchdowns to the position. In addition to the juicy matchup, conversations surrounding Warren's workload bolster his fantasy upside this week. Both head coach Mike Tomlin and quarterback
Aaron Rodgers have publicly stated that they would like the 27-year-old to see more touches going forward. Even with
Kenneth Gainwell and
Kaleb Johnson mixing in, Warren should have more than enough opportunity to provide top-10 fantasy production as a clear RB1 on Sunday.

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback
Aaron Rodgers is coming off his worst performance of the season but is primed to bounce back against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 11. When Rodgers last faced the Bengals in Week 7, he delivered over 24 fantasy points with four touchdown passes in a road loss. Cincinnati has struggled defensively, surrendering the most points per contest in the NFL this year, so it's no surprise that this divisional showdown is expected to be one of the highest-scoring matchups of the week. Though Pittsburgh's offense has been inconsistent, it should be able to find its footing at home on Sunday. Rodgers can be viewed as a high-end streaming option with fringe top-12 value this week.

Green Bay Packers tight end
Luke Musgrave continues to sit atop the team's depth chart, but he has failed to fill the void left by
Tucker Kraft (knee). Kraft suffered a season-ending ACL tear in Week 9, but Musgrave has just six catches for 57 yards over his last two games. The 25-year-old has not even been a fantasy-relevant streamer, let alone the mid-to-high TE1 that Kraft was when healthy. A Week 11 matchup against the New York Giants could help Musgrave's stock, but he's still a non-factor in most fantasy leagues. Managers can leave him on waivers and should look elsewhere for mid-season help at the tight end position.

Carolina Panthers running back
Chuba Hubbard has become firmly entrenched in the backup role following
Rico Dowdle's early-season breakout. Hubbard missed Weeks 5 and 6 due to injury, leaving Dowdle with the perfect opportunity to break out. The veteran capitalized on the opportunity, seized the lead-back role, and never looked back. As a result, Hubbard's role declined when he returned from injury, and his involvement took another step back two weeks ago. He has played fewer than 23 percent of the offensive snaps in each of his last two games, totaling just eight carries and one reception during that span. Despite signing an extension last winter, Hubbard is now a mere handcuff option behind Dowdle, a potential league-winner.

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver
Calvin Austin III has earned a healthy dose of targets lately, but he has been relatively unproductive as fantasy managers are left wanting more from the 26-year-old. Austin missed two weeks with a shoulder injury earlier this season, and in three games since his return, he's averaging 6.7 targets, 3.7 catches, and 32.7 receiving yards. That equates to fewer than seven points per game, even in full-PPR leagues. We saw Austin flash big-play upside before his injury, so it's been frustrating to see him produce low yardage totals despite decent target shares. The 26-year-old held onto his job as the No. 2 receiver after the trade deadline, which is a good sign, but he's no longer reliable in fantasy lineups. Managers should leave him on the bench until he re-proves that he can produce consistently.

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver
Josh Downs saw a massive reduction in snaps and targets during his last game against the Atlanta Falcons. In Berlin, Downs played a mere 43 percent of the Colts' offensive snaps, converting two targets into one catch for three yards. The 24-year-old impressed as the WR35 in PPR leagues last season, but he has taken a step backward this year. He ranks outside the top 40 receivers and can no longer be trusted on a week-to-week basis. One reason for Downs' struggles is the increased competition around him. Indy is leaning on the run more than usual given
Jonathan Taylor's success, and they've also gotten exceptional contributions from
Tyler Warren,
Michael Pittman Jr., and
Alec Pierce. This has left Downs as somewhat of the odd man out. We do expect him to command more than two targets per game going forward, but he's not startable for the time being. Managers should leave Downs on the bench when the Colts return from their bye in Week 12.

Buffalo Bills running back
Ty Johnson continues to operate out of a depth role and is not a reliable fantasy option. Johnson has been the clear No. 2 option behind
James Cook this season, primarily checking into the game on occasional passing downs. He has 18 carries and 11 targets so far, ranking as the overall RB70 in PPR leagues. As long as the Bills continue to feed Cook a heavy dose of touches, Johnson and fellow running back
Ray Davis will be non-factors in fantasy football. Johnson's only path to fantasy productivity is an injury to Cook, and even then, we could see Davis get the early-down work. The 28-year-old should be left on fantasy waivers in all leagues.

Green Bay Packers running back
Emanuel Wilson remains a non-factor in fantasy football as long as starter
Josh Jacobs is healthy. Wilson has played in all nine games this season, and his snap share peaked at 42 percent when Jacobs was playing through an injury. That ratio dropped to 21 percent last week, and he logged just one carry and one reception along the way. In addition to having a small workload, Wilson has been inefficient lately, averaging just 2.1 yards per touch over his last two games. The 26-year-old should be avoided in all formats ahead of Week 11 against the New York Giants. He's nothing more than a handcuff, and if Jacobs were to get hurt, we'd expect to see some sort of committee showcasing a combination of Wilson,
Chris Brooks, and
MarShawn Lloyd (hamstring).

Minnesota Vikings running back
Jordan Mason lacks standalone fantasy value heading into Week 11 against the Chicago Bears. Mason had been able to co-exist alongside
Aaron Jones earlier in the year, and he was a must-start when Jones missed time due to injury. However, now that Jones is healthy again, the veteran has taken over the backfield, leaving Mason in an unsteady role. Just last week, the 26-year-old only played one-quarter of the offensive snaps, rushing four times and catching one pass. He was efficient with his opportunities, but it was still impossible for him to carve out fantasy value given his small workload. As long as Jones is healthy, Mason must be viewed as a mere handcuff and shouldn't be started in fantasy lineups this week.

Detroit Lions wide receiver
Kalif Raymond hauled in a season-high four catches for 49 yards on four targets in his team's Week 10 win over the Washington Commanders. The 31-year-old has seen minimal usage in his team's passing game overall this season, recording 13 catches for 113 yards on 17 targets across nine games played. Raymond and the Lions will also face a significantly more difficult matchup in Week 11 against the Philadelphia Eagles. However, there are a couple of reasons to believe that Raymond's relative breakout may be more than just a one-week blip. For one, Lions head coach Dan Campbell took over play-calling in Week 10 from offensive coordinator John Morton, which could be a reason for Raymond's heavier usage. Additionally, the Lions will be without tight end
Sam LaPorta (back) against Philadelphia, which should open up more opportunities for all of the team's secondary pass-catchers. Still, Raymond's limited ceiling makes him a desperation deep-league flex option at best in a difficult Week 11 matchup against the Eagles.

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver
Jakobi Meyers had three catches for 41 yards in Week 10 versus the Texans. Although he wasn't a safe fantasy option against a tough Houston defense, especially with it being his first game on a new team, fantasy managers were still hoping for more due to the absence of
Brian Thomas Jr. (ankle). With a poor showing in the rear-view mirror, Meyers will look to get things going in Week 11 against the Los Angeles Chargers. Thomas is questionable for that one. If he doesn't suit up, Meyers has a chance to see more than the 27 offensive snaps he received in Week 10. Granted, he still wouldn't be an ideal fantasy option. However, the upside is there, so he should at least draw consideration from those with nowhere else to turn.

The Detroit Lions defense had a solid-but-unspectacular game in Week 10, holding the short-handed Washington Commanders to 22 points while recording two sacks. However, the Lions will face a much tougher test in Week 11 when they travel to Philadelphia to take on the Eagles. Through 10 weeks, Philadelphia ranks ninth in the NFL in yards per pass attempt. Additionally, the Lions head into Week 11 with major questions in their secondary. All-Pro safety Kerby Joseph (knee) remains sidelined with a knee injury, and cornerback Terrion Arnold (concussion) has been ruled out with a concussion. Fellow corners D.J. Reed (hamstring) and Amik Robertson (hamstring) are both listed as questionable to play, which means Detroit could be without its top three players at the position against star Eagles wide receivers
A.J. Brown and
DeVonta Smith. Fantasy managers should avoid starting Detroit's D/ST in Week 11.

Detroit Lions kicker
Jake Bates recorded his first missed extra point of the season in Week 10 against the Washington Commanders, but he knocked in all three of his field-goal attempts. Even with the blunder against Washington, Bates leads the NFL in extra-point makes (33) and attempts (34) through 10 weeks. The Lions have a difficult road matchup in Week 11 against the Philadelphia Eagles. Philadelphia ranks in the top ten in the NFL in per-game opponent scoring (21.3 points per game). Still, the Lions have one of the league's highest-scoring offenses so far this season and could provide Bates with some opportunities to put points on the board. It's not his most favorable matchup, but Bates still profiles as a solid starting kicker option for fantasy managers in Week 11.

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.
