Matt's wide receiver (WR) fantasy football start 'em, sit 'em picks for Week 11 of 2025. His WR lineups advice for Week 11 fantasy football start/sit decisions.
With four weeks remaining before many fantasy football playoffs are set to begin, there are still plenty of fantasy managers with championship aspirations. You cannot win the championship if you don't make the playoffs, so every lineup decision becomes more and more critical by the week.
Last week, Drake London (24.4), Nico Collins (22.6), and Ladd McConkey (20.7) reaffirmed why they were worthy of being top-24 selections back when fantasy drafts kicked off the season in August. We even had a Jerry Jeudy spotting as the Browns receiver returned to WR1 status with 19.8 PPR fantasy points, even if it's only for one week.
Here are RotoBaller's Week 11 starts and sits at the wide receiver position.

Week 11 Starts - Fantasy Football Booms
Tee Higgins - WR, Cincinnati Bengals at Pittsburgh Steelers
The last time Tee Higgins took to the field, he wound up hauling in seven of nine targets for 121 receiving yards and a pair of touchdown grabs. Since Week 5, Higgins has five touchdown receptions and is averaging 17.7 PPR fantasy points per game, the seventh most among all WRs over that period.
TEE HIGGINS ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?!

Since Joe Flacco arrived in Week 6, this Bengals offense looks much like it had when Joe Burrow was under center and directing traffic. Since Flacco became a Bengal, no other quarterback has produced fantasy numbers at the rate at which Flacco has done (25.7 fantasy points per game). Since October 6, the Bengals have averaged 407.8 yards of total offense, which is 98 yards per game more than their season total.
This week, expect those numbers to continue to rise as Higgins and company face a Steelers secondary that has been gashed for 1,032 receiving yards on 86 receptions over the previous five contests and has surrendered a league-high 44.1 fantasy points per game to the wide receiver position.
Last week, the Steelers were exploited by McConkey, who only needed four catches to produce 107 receiving yards. Thanks to his touchdown reception, he walked away with more than 20 fantasy points. Earlier in the season, when these teams last met, Higgins turned his 10 targets into six receptions for 96 yards and a touchdown.
Jaylen Waddle - WR, Miami Dolphins vs. Washington Commanders
Since Week 5, Jaylen Waddle has cemented himself as a true WR1 in fantasy. With Tyreek Hill's omission from the lineup for a majority of that period, Waddle has produced 485 receiving yards, a mark that only Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Ja'Marr Chase have topped.
In Waddle's last six games, the Dolphins receiver has averaged seven targets per game and earned a 22.3% target share along with a first-read target share of 30.5%. Most impressive among the metrics is the 51.7% air yards share and 649 air yards, showing there is still plenty of production available for Waddle moving forward.

What better way to move forward than facing the Washington Commanders while coming off another solid fantasy outing the previous week against the Bills? Over the Commanders' last five games, they are allowing opposing wide receivers to produce at an unprecedented clip, averaging 43.2 fantasy points per game.
In those five contests, the Commanders secondary has been torched for 1,023 receiving yards on 90 receptions, seven touchdown receptions, and 11.37 yards per target.
Rome Odunze - WR, Chicago Bears at Minnesota Vikings
After spending the week in Caleb Williams' dog house, Rome Odunze came to play for fantasy managers in Week 10 in a favorable matchup against the New York Giants in which he would go on to convert six of his 10 targets into 86 receiving yards, a touchdown, and 20.6 fantasy points.

This marks Odunze's second meeting with the Vikings secondary this season. The first came in opening week when Odunze was targeted nine times, pulling in six receptions for 37 yards and a touchdown. While the numbers weren't significant, it was still a 16.7-point fantasy performance.
Since that first meeting, Odunze has hauled in an additional 31 receptions and 522 yards over eight contests. The 522 yards are the 18th most among wide receivers, and Odunze has earned a 22.3% target share, 41.4% air yards share, 26.5% first-read target share, and a 0.119 first down per route run rate.
As for the Vikings, opposing receivers have been blessed with this matchup on the calendar in recent weeks. Since Week 6, they have allowed 38.6 fantasy points per game to the receiver position, which is the third most.
Week 11 Sits - Potential Fantasy Football Busts
Courtland Sutton - WR, Denver Broncos vs. Kansas City Chiefs
Fantasy hopes and dreams die when facing the Kansas City Chiefs defense. As good as the Chiefs have been in recent weeks against the run, they've been even stingier in the pass game and a thorn in fantasy managers' sides when looking for wide receiver options.
Since Week 6, no team has been more frugal against opposing receivers in fantasy than the Chiefs, who have allowed 22.8 fantasy points per game over their previous four contests.
Courtland Sutton is a far superior option at the wide receiver position, but the last time we saw Sutton was in that punt fest against a Raiders team that held him to 5.4 fantasy points, along with three receptions for 24 yards. Since Week 6, Sutton ranks 49th in fantasy points per game among receivers, averaging a modest 9.1 fantasy points per game.
Zay Flowers - WR, Baltimore Ravens at Cleveland Browns
It looks like the Baltimore Ravens are back since Lamar Jackson's return, but this week's showdown with the Cleveland Browns will be a stout test for this Ravens offense. Back in Week 2, the Browns limited Jackson to 19-of-29 passing for 225 yards. Jackson did get the better of the Browns secondary, tossing four touchdowns on the afternoon, but none of which went to Zay Flowers.
In that last contest, Flowers had a respectable game. Although he didn't catch a touchdown pass, he finished with seven receptions for 75 receiving yards. That game proved to be a foreshadowing moment for Flowers as the Ravens wide receiver has surprisingly accounted for just one of Baltimore's 16 touchdown receptions thus far this season.
Cleveland's 168.1 passing yards allowed per game this season is the fourth-fewest, while the team's 23.5 fantasy points per game allowed to the wide receiver position since Week 6 is the third-fewest. Sometimes, you have to follow the numbers and simplify the game of chance.
Davante Adams - WR, Los Angeles Rams vs. Seattle Seahawks
As good as Davante Adams has been, there's not enough fantasy production on the table for him and Puka Nacua facing this Seattle Seahawks secondary. One receiver may eat, but not both.
Entering this contest, Seattle has allowed just 5.12 yards per target over its previous four games and has allowed the 10th-fewest fantasy points per game to opposing receivers. Now, take that 28.3 fantasy points per game that Seattle is surrendering and divvy that up between Adams and Nacua. Regardless of how you break it down, the probability of both receivers having themselves a productive day isn't great.
Adams' fantasy production has been directly tied to touchdowns, where he has nine of them so far. In the Seahawks' last four games, they have surrendered just three touchdown receptions. Something has to give, and when comparing Nacua and Adams, it comes down to slot usage, where Nacua has been more prevalent running 38.1% of his routes versus 14.1% for Adams.
That's where the Rams can gain an advantage: the passing game against this Seattle secondary. The bottom line: Nacua has 14 more receptions on just one extra target and has been Matthew Stafford's first read 36.4% of the time, opposed to Adams' 29.1%.
With the more difficult matchups on the outside, Stafford is likely to funnel a majority of the offense toward Nacua. Still, Stafford is an old gunslinger and will undoubtedly take some shots downfield.
