Who Should I Start for Fantasy Football Week 11? Tez Johnson, Kyle Monangai, Sean Tucker, Tee Higgins, Tyjae Spears, Tony Pollard, Xavier Worthy, Tyler Allgeier, Travis Etienne, Michael Wilson

Michael Wilson, WR, Cardinals

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Michael Wilson has seen his fantasy value surge with his team set to play Week 11 without top wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. (appendectomy). Tight end Trey McBride continues to be the team's No. 1 pass catcher, but Wilson is third on the team in most receiving categories and should be the No. 1 receiver this week.

The Cardinals, who have had a rotating cast of running backs and are playing with backup quarterback Jacoby Brissett, have been one of the toughest teams to gauge in the NFL for fantasy leagues. Wilson is earning a middling 6 yards per target and has only 22 catches through nine games, so managers shouldn't expect a week-winning performance, but Wilson's likely increase in volume could be worth a look in deeper leagues or as a one-week fill-in.

Tez Johnson, WR, Buccaneers

Tampa Bay Buccaneers rookie wide receiver Tez Johnson hauled in four of five targets for 42 yards and two touchdowns in the team's 28-23 loss to the New England Patriots. Since Mike Evans (collarbone) went down, Johnson has emerged as a key piece of the Buccaneers' passing attack, recording at least 40 yards in every game since the injury, and scoring four touchdowns over his last four contests.

The rookie from Oregon is averaging 14.2 fantasy points per game since Week 6, ranking 20th among wide receivers during that stretch. With Evans, Chris Godwin, and Jalen McMillan all sidelined, Johnson should remain a featured target for Baker Mayfield moving forward.

Kyle Monangai, RB, Bears

Chicago Bears rookie running back Kyle Monangai slid back into a secondary role in the team's backfield last weekend with the return of teammate D'Andre Swift (hip) from a one-game absence. The New Jersey native showed out back in Week 9 with a 29-touch, 198-yard performance while Swift dealt with a hip injury.

However, the former saw his workload scale back significantly as the latter resumed his role as lead back in their win over the Giants. Monangai would catapult in the rankings if Swift were ever made to miss more time, although, as it stands, he'll still boast some standalone value as a low-end RB3 asset. While both backs will be in play during Week 11's matchup with the Minnesota Vikings, Monangai loses some ceiling with Swift in the picture.

Sean Tucker, RB, Buccaneers

Tampa Bay Buccaneers third-year running back out of Syracuse, Sean Tucker, has seen an increased workload the last couple of weeks due to Rachaad White's ineffectiveness on the ground (3.74 YPC) and Bucky Irving's (toe/shoulder) injuries. Over the past two games, Tucker has earned 21 carries and rushed for 95 yards and a touchdown. As long as Irving remains sidelined, Tucker will be in the RB3 conversation, given the fact that, based on the last few games, he appears likely to earn 8-12 carries a game.

That being said, if Irving returns, which he has logged limited practices on Wednesday and Thursday, Tucker will immediately go back to third on the depth chart and can be returned to the waiver wires. Fantasy managers rostering Tucker as a desperate RB3 option will want to continue to monitor Irving's practice status on Friday and Saturday to know when or if they should drop him.

Tyjae Spears, RB, Titans

Tennessee Titans running back Tyjae Spears will have a tough matchup as his team returns from its bye week against the Texans, but he's worth a look from the waiver wire since he has been working in such a prominent role in the Titans' backfield. Spears missed the first four weeks of the season, but he played between 40% and 60% of the team's snaps in each of the last four weeks. In his five games, he has 30 carries for 152 yards and a touchdown, while adding 13 catches for 96 more yards.

He has at least three catches in each of the last four weeks and should be fully healthy coming down the stretch for the Titans. The offense has struggled under Cam Ward, but as the rookie finds his way, Spears could be an interesting late-season addition. He has some favorable RB matchups ahead with the Jaguars, 49ers, and Saints remaining on his schedule down the road.
