Week 11 Receivers

WR Notes: The Chiefs are not a great receiver matchup, but a plus scoring environment and the Eagles’ loss of Dallas Goedert makes another 125-yard effort easily attainable for A.J. Brown. … The Cowboys are finally posting massive fantasy numbers no matter the matchup. An uncontainable CeeDee Lamb is a nightmare proposition for a Panthers defense that’s lost back-to-back games to Gardner Minshew and Tyson Bagent. … Amon-Ra St. Brown has reached 100 yards receiving in four straight games and 6-of-7. The Bears surrender the league’s seventh most passing yards. … Although clearly elite, the Ravens’ pass defense has taken advantage of a soft quarterback slate to post otherworldly numbers. A healthy Joe Burrow will be by far the best QB they have faced all season. With Tee Higgins (hamstring) sidelined, Ja’Marr Chase’s floor is probably in the 10-12 target range. Even if Baltimore puts the clamps on big plays, that kind of workload typically produces a WR1 day. … Keenan Allen played through his shoulder issue in Week 10 and should do so again against the Packers. The injury and a sturdy Pack passing D do make it more of a floor than ceiling bet.

Stefon Diggs’ brother is saying he needs to be traded the week the Bills fire their offensive coordinator and welcome Sauce Garnder to town. Cool. Normal. Good. The play-caller change would normally profile as a “recommitment”-type outing for a player of Diggs’ caliber, but Gardner’s presence will make it difficult. A wideout held under 100 yards receiving in four straight contests will probably make it five. … Cooper Kupp headed into the Rams’ bye with three straight sub-50 efforts. With Matthew Stafford returning vs. a giving Seahawks defense, better days should be ahead. … Davante Adams was creeping back toward the WR1 we know and love in Week 10. Coming off bye, a knee-rehabbed Jalen Ramsey does make the Dolphins a tougher matchup than they were to begin the year. The Silver and Black are going to have to throw so much in South Beach, however. … The 49ers have been surprisingly receiver soft, but their revamped pass rush is going to make life difficult for Baker Mayfield. Provided Mayfield doesn’t totally crumble like Trevor Lawrence in Week 10, Mike Evans will remain a strong touchdown bet.

Where should the Eagles’ lost Dallas Goedert targets end up? Mostly in the hands of A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith. With Smith having more room to grow than AJB, he should be the main beneficiary. … Garrett Wilson has at least 12 targets in four straight appearances and five of the past six. He hasn’t scored in the process, and he has reached 100 yards only once. Perhaps the Bills’ super banged up defense provides the canvass to finally spike a week? … With Deebo Samuel (shoulder) back healthy against the Jaguars, Brandon Aiyuk drew a season-low three targets. It’s so hard for every member of this loaded skill corps to get home on a weekly basis. The Bucs’ pass-funnel defense enhances the odds for Week 11. … Desperate Panthers coach Frank Reich has reassumed play-calling duties. Reich had been peppering Adam Thielen with targets before giving up the reins. Thielen is mired in his first slump. Reich’s return coupled with several quarters worth of comeback game script keeps Thielen in the mid-range WR2 mix. … Matthew Stafford returns not a moment too soon for Puka Nacua, who was straight up not having a good time during Stafford’s brief absence. Nacua torched the Seahawks in Week 1 without Cooper Kupp. 8-10 looks is a reasonable bet this time around.

Speaking of returning not a moment too soon, Justin Fields in Chicago. Fields had locked onto DJ Moore before his thumb injury. The duo reunites against a Lions defense that will be front-running in a potential shootout. 8-10 targets is a strong possibility. … Will Levis has not stopped targeting DeAndre Hopkins. It might actually result in some fantasy points vs. a Jaguars defense permitting the third most passing yards. … DK Metcalf reached 10 targets for only the second time all year in Week 10. There is nothing scary about his Rams matchup. … However hard he tries, there is always just a little something missing for Terry McLaurin. He still has a WR2 floor that seems destined to eventually produce some WR1 efforts in this pass-obsessed offense. … A slumping Trevor Lawrence is all too comfortable targeting Christian Kirk. That’s bad news for Clavin Ridley in a stagnant offense. Struggling against press coverage, the pint-sized Ridley isn’t being moved around the formation. There has never been a better time for coach Doug Pederson to start doing so than against a Titans D coughing up the seventh most receiver fantasy points. It’s just not the most likely outcome, rendering Ridley a risky WR3.

Nico Collins (calf) has guaranteed he will play vs. the Cardinals. Perhaps Tank Dell and Noah Brown’s Week 10 eruptions put his rehab over the top. The Cardinals are a plus matchup for all three. Brown is battling a knee issue. … Courtland Sutton has scored in 7-of-9 appearances. He is the lone part of the Broncos’ passing attack coach Sean Payton feels comfortable with. … Marquise Brown had a quiet Kyler Murray debut. Murray was throwing down-field more often than he did in 2022, not to mention more often than his backup quarterbacks. Better days should be ahead. … Amari Cooper’s Deshaun Watson/P.J. Walker splits are predictably brutal. He’s going to maintain a mammoth target share, but it is more than fair to wonder what that amounts to with Walker/and or Dorian Thompson-Robinson under center. … I rank Diontae Johnson wrong essentially every week. Even with the thumb injury, there is ample reason to believe last Sunday’s one-grab performance was an aberration. … Rashee Rice is facing an Eagles defense allowing the most receiver fantasy points. … It would be difficult to trust Jordan Addison as a WR3 if Justin Jefferson returns. … That’s been more like it than Brandin Cooks. Forget the floor. It’s the ceiling you have to remember.
