Jared Goff, QB, Lions
Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff had one of his best games of the season in Week 10, completing 25 of 33 pass attempts for 320 yards and three touchdowns in a 44-22 win over the Washington Commanders. Goff now gets a significantly more challenging matchup in Week 11 when the Lions travel to Philadelphia to take on the Eagles. Through 10 weeks, Philadelphia has allowed the ninth-fewest passing yards (1,979) in the NFL, and they are tied with the Denver Broncos for the fewest passing touchdowns allowed (eight).
To make matters worse, Goff will be without one of his top receiving weapons in tight end Sam LaPorta (back). If there's a reason for positivity about Goff's fantasy outlook in Week 11, it's the potential for pass volume. The Lions are underdogs against Philadelphia, and Goff is averaging 35 pass attempts per game in losses compared to 28 pass attempts per game in wins. Goff profiles as a fringe fantasy QB1 and a must-start quarterback in two QB formats in Week 11.
Jameson Williams, WR, Lions
Through nine games this season, Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams has recorded 27 catches for 474 yards and four touchdowns on 43 targets. Encouragingly for his fantasy outlook, the majority of the 24-year-old's production has come in recent weeks. Williams has now recorded at least six targets, 66 receiving yards, and a touchdown in three out of his last four games, including a season-high 119 receiving yards in Week 10 against the Washington Commanders. Williams and the Lions will face a much tougher test in Week 11 against the Philadelphia Eagles.
Through 10 weeks, Philadelphia has allowed the ninth-fewest passing yards (1,979) in the NFL, and they are tied with the Denver Broncos for the fewest passing touchdowns allowed (eight). However, the Lions will be without tight end Sam LaPorta (back). That could lead to a few extra targets for Williams, particularly if Detroit is chasing points. Williams still has bust potential, but he profiles as a solid fantasy WR3 in Week 11.

A.J. Brown, WR, Eagles
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown had another frustrating performance against the Packers, with his three targets being the least amount of looks he's gotten in a game since Week 1. The only grace Brown can be granted is that this was his first playing time since Week 7's meeting with the Vikings, so maybe his lower snap count of 77.8% and lack of production can be partially chalked up to injury recovery. Nevertheless, he has not been the stud fantasy player many expected him to be this season.
The Green Bay game marked the fourth time in eight games that Brown has finished with less than 30 receiving yards this year. His upcoming contest is against the Lions, who allow the 12th-most fantasy points to WRs this season. He has proven that he still has boom potential, but his bust performances have made him a frightening lineup option. Consider him a low-end WR2 for a primetime face-off on Sunday night.
Dallas Goedert, TE, Eagles
Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert's six targets were second-most for his team in their last game, trailing only DeVonta Smith, who had seven. Unfortunately for Goedert, this was his third game of the season in which he did not score a touchdown, and he has relied heavily on finding the end zone to have real fantasy production.
He'll look to get back to his scoring ways this week against the Lions, whose defense allows the 13th-least amount of fantasy points to tight ends this year. In two of Detroit's last four games, the leading receiver for the opposing team has been a tight end (Cade Otton and Travis Kelce), which poses some promise for Goedert heading into Sunday Night Football. It feels like starting him boils down to taking the gamble on whether or not he finds pay dirt, but he still does it more often than not. He's a low-end TE1 in Week 11.
