Calvin Ridley Anticipated to Play in Week 11
According to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler, Tennessee Titans wide receiver Calvin Ridley (hamstring) is expected to play in Sunday's meeting with Houston. The wideout has been out of commission since Week 7 because of a hamstring injury. Although it appeared he had a chance to return over the last few weeks, it seems he'll finally be back on the field. Ridley hasn't had a strong 2025 campaign, amassing 16 catches (35 targets) for 290 yards while failing to find the end zone. All things considered, he's not the safest fantasy option, considering Cam Ward hasn't been good all year. Ridley will also draw a tough matchup with a formidable Texans defense, which isn't an ideal scenario in his first game in over a month.

Evan McPherson Offers Streaming Appeal for Week 11
Cincinnati Bengals kicker Evan McPherson has been a more consistent option over the last few weeks. Over the last three games, McPherson has made 7-of-8 field goal attempts, while connecting on all 12 extra point kicks during that span. The Bengals offense has been moving the ball better lately with Joe Flacco under center. They head into a matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 11. McPherson knocked down seven kicks during their last meeting. Given his recent success, McPherson is worth a look as a streaming option for fantasy managers in need of a kicker in Week 11.

Van Jefferson a Touchdown-Dependent Option for Week 11
Tennessee Titans wide receiver Van Jefferson has been a non-factor in the offense over the last few weeks. Jefferson has seen increased playing time with Calvin Ridley (hamstring) missing each of the last three games. During that time, Jefferson has been held to six receptions for 68 yards and has been held out of the end zone. Right now, Ridley is questionable for the upcoming Week 11 matchup against the Houston Texans. If he sits, Jefferson will probably play over 80 percent of the offensive snaps, but that hasn't helped his fantasy value. Jefferson should be viewed as a touchdown-dependent option for Week 11.

Cole Kmet is Avoidable for Week 11
Chicago Bears tight end Cole Kmet (back) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Minnesota Vikings. He was limited to begin the week, but has been cleared to play after getting in back-to-back full practice sessions. Despite being active, Kmet hasn't been much of a factor in the offense lately. In fact, Kmet has been held to one reception in each of his last four games. He continues to split up reps with Colston Loveland who has been the much better fantasy option. At the moment, it's tough to imagine Kmet having much fantasy value going forward. He'll be a touchdown-dependent option for Week 11.

Xavier Weaver Likely to See Increased Role in Week 11
Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Xavier Weaver is expected to see an expanded role during the upcoming Week 11 matchup against the San Francisco 49ers. Weaver has barely played this season, and sat out last week's game due to an ankle issue. He appears to be healthy now and ready to make an impact. Weaver could be asked to step up with Marvin Harrison Jr. (appendix) ruled out for Sunday's game. He figures to serve as the third wideout behind Michael Wilson and Greg Dortch. Weaver hasn't done enough on the field to warrant starting this weekend.

Elijah Higgins a Risky Option for Week 11
Arizona Cardinals tight end Elijah Higgins has seen an increased role on offense over the last few weeks. Over the last two games, Higgins has hauled in five of his six targets for 49 yards. Despite that, he remains the backup to Trey McBride, who is one of the best tight ends in the league. It's possible that Higgins does see a slightly larger workload with Marvin Harrison Jr. (appendix) out in Week 11. Normally, Higgins has been playing about 40 percent of the offensive snaps. There's a chance that does increase, but probably not by too much. Higgins is a desperation deep league option for the Week 11 matchup against the San Francisco 49ers.

Daniel Carlson Has Favorable Matchup for Week 11
Las Vegas Raiders kicker Daniel Carlson hasn't been able to offer fantasy managers much value over the last few weeks. Over the last three games, Carlson is 1-for-2 on field goal attempts, while making 3-of-4 extra point attempts. The 30-year-old hasn't been great this season, but he also doesn't get a ton of chances. The promising news is that Carlson is heading into a favorable matchup in Week 11. The Raiders will face off against the Dallas Cowboys on Monday night. The Cowboys have struggled to contain anyone this season, so the Raiders should be able to get into scoring position. Carlson isn't an ideal fantasy option, but he should offer better value than he has the past few weeks.

Tyler Lockett Cleared for Excellent Week 11 Matchup on Monday Night
Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Tyler Lockett (knee) was limited in Thursday's practice with a knee injury, but he put in full practices on Friday and Saturday and has been cleared to play in Week 11 against the Dallas Cowboys on Monday Night Football, according to Ryan McFadden of ESPN. In a pristine matchup, Lockett will be looking to stay heavily involved in the passing attack after catching five of his six targets for a season-high 44 yards in the Week 10 loss to the Denver Broncos. The 33-year-old had only 10 catches for 70 scoreless yards in seven games with the Titans before joining the Raiders and reuniting with quarterback Geno Smith. Lockett and Smith have clear chemistry from their days in Seattle. With that said, Lockett might still be the No. 3 target for Smith behind Tre Tucker and Brock Bowers. Lockett's upside isn't what it used to be, but his chemistry with Smith shouldn't be ignored, and he's facing the worst defense against WRs this week in Dallas. In deeper fantasy leagues, Lockett is in play as a WR4/5 this week.

Demarcus Robinson Falls Further Down the WR Depth Chart
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Demarcus Robinson hasn't made much of an impact in the passing game in his first year in the Bay Area despite the 49ers being one of the most banged-up teams in the NFL. Through seven games (one start) in 2025, Robinson has caught 11 of his 21 targets for 142 yards and is still searching for his first touchdown of the year. He did play 46% of the offensive snaps (third-highest snap share of the season) in last week's blowout loss to the Los Angeles Rams, but it led to only three catches on four targets for 34 yards. Fellow wideout Ricky Pearsall (knee) is making his return this weekend for the first time since spraining his PCL in Week 4, so Robinson figures to see less time on the field in Week 11 versus the Arizona Cardinals. The Cardinals' defense has been middle of the pack in terms of fantasy points allowed per game to opposing wideouts, and Robinson remains off the fantasy radar in pretty much all leagues.

Darnell Washington has Favorable Matchup but Still Hard to Trust
Pittsburgh Steelers big-bodied tight end Darnell Washington caught his only touchdown of the season and the second of his career in the first matchup against the division-rival Cincinnati Bengals on Oct. 16, but it came on just three catches (five targets) for two yards. Since then, the 6-foot-7, 264-pound unit has caught five passes for 58 yards and no touchdowns on seven targets as the team's TE3 behind Pat Freiermuth and Jonnu Smith. In nine total games in 2025 in his third year in the NFL, Washington has just 14 receptions for 142 yards and one touchdown on 21 targets. His size sets him apart when quarterback Aaron Rodgers is facing pressure and he just needs to throw the ball up to a big target, but otherwise, Washington just isn't seeing enough volume to be anything more than a TE3 in fantasy, even against a Bengals defense that has allowed the most half-PPR points per game to the TE position.

Cowboys D/ST a Potential Streaming Option in Week 11
The Dallas Cowboys' defense has been disappointing for most of the year. However, coming off their Week 9 game against the Cardinals, Dallas produced five sacks and a blocked punt returned for a touchdown. The Cowboys are now set to face the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 11. Dallas can be viewed as a streaming option this week, asRaiders starting quarterback Geno Smith, has thrown 12 interceptions in nine games. The Raiders also rank as the third-worst offense in the NFL, averaging just 272 total yards per game this season. With Smith prone to turnovers and the Raiders struggling to move the ball, the Cowboys defense is very much in play as a streamer this week.

Brandon Aubrey a Must-Start in Week 11 Against Las Vegas
Dallas Cowboys kicker Brandon Aubrey has disappointed over his last two starts, averaging only five fantasy points during that stretch. Coming off the bye, the Cowboys will look to get back on track as they take on the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 11. Aubrey has already proven he's one of the best kickers in the NFL, and this matchup gives him a strong chance to rebound in what projects to be a high-scoring affair (49.5 total). The Raiders' defense has allowed around 320 total yards per game, giving Dallas plenty of opportunities to move the ball and create scoring chances for Aubrey. RotoBaller currently has Aubrey ranked as the No. 1 kicker for Week 11, making him a must-start option in all fantasy formats.

Jake Ferguson Set for Strong Showing in Week 11
Dallas Cowboys tight end Jake Ferguson has been a steady target for Dak Prescott all season. Ferguson has recorded at least five receptions in all but two games this year and continues to be one of the most reliable pass catchers in the Cowboys' offense. He's coming off a Week 9 performance where he posted five receptions for 50 yards against the Cardinals. This week, Ferguson and the Cowboys are set to face the Las Vegas Raiders in what could turn into a shootout (49.5 total). The Raiders' defense has been mediocre against the pass, allowing around 214 passing yards per game, which ranks 16th in the NFL. With a high implied scoring total, Dallas should be able to put points on the board, giving Ferguson plenty of opportunities in the passing game. RotoBaller currently has Ferguson ranked as the TE5 for Week 11.

George Pickens Remains Strong Start in Week 11
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver George Pickens has proven to be a consistent weapon for Dak Prescott and the Cowboys all season. Pickens is coming off a solid Week 9 outing, posting six catches for 79 yards against the Cardinals. Now coming out of the bye, the Cowboys are set to face the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 11. Expect Pickens to remain heavily involved, as he continues to operate as one of the top targets in the Dallas offense. The Raiders' defense has struggled this season, allowing around 214 passing yards per game, giving the Cowboys plenty of opportunities to move the ball through the air. With Pickens seeing at least nine targets in each of his last two games, he should remain a strong fantasy option once again. RotoBaller currently has Pickens ranked as the WR11 for Week 11.

DeMarvion Overshown Will Make Season Debut in Week 11
Dallas Cowboys linebacker DeMarvion Overshown (knee) is off the injury report and will make his 2025 debut against the Las Vegas Raiders. Overshown suffered a significant knee injury (Torn ACL, MCL, PCL) in December of 2024 but is making his return just 11 months after the horrifying injury. During his rookie season, Overshown was an impact player for the Cowboys, forcing five sacks, 90 tackles, a forced fumble, and a pick-six in just 13 games. The Cowboys' defense has struggled in both the run game and the passing game, so Overshown's presence will be one to watch on Monday Night when they face the Las Vegas Raiders.
