Fantasy Football Start/Sit: Pat Freiermuth & A.J. Brown

Week 11 is here, and if your fantasy football lineup feels like it’s held together by duct tape, caffeine, and denial, you’re not alone. Between byes, injuries, and that one player who can’t stop dropping wide-open touchdowns, finding the right starters has never felt more like a trust fall. Luckily, our Featured Pros are here to catch you with their weekly list of Sleepers and Duds to help you spot the golden tickets and avoid the landmines. So take a deep breath, ignore your bench regrets, and let’s get to the names that could make (or break) your week.

Fantasy Football Week 11 Start/Sit Advice

Sleepers

Which player outside of the top 100 in the FantasyPros Flex rankings is a good sleeper start, and why do you think he has upside this week?

Pat Freiermuth (TE – PIT)

“Aaron Rodgers can’t push the ball downfield. The Bengals refuse to cover tight ends. So, I’ll take Pat Friermuth in the return bout against Cincinnati. The Bengals have allowed 12 touchdowns to tight ends, including four Rodgers throws (two to Freiermuth and 5/111 overall) in the first contest. He represents great value at TE26 (126 in the rankings overall).”

Duds

Which player inside the top 40 in the FantasyPros Flex rankings is likely to disappoint fantasy managers this week?

AJ Brown (WR – PHI)

“I’ll take the bait. If he goes off in Week 11, thank me. A.J. Brown sits at No. 37 on this week’s rankings. We draft based on history, consistency and patterns. At this point in the season, Brown’s explosive plays are outliers, like his Week 7 dominance of the Vikings (4/121/2). But the floors have been shockingly low and too frequent. So, I’ll put my wishing and hoping energy toward my Christmas list for Santa.”
