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?
Tyler Lockett (WR – LV)
“I’m going to keep beating the drum for Tyler Lockett. His current ranking of 102 overall and WR48 feels very appropriate, but his upside is pretty high. His matchup against the porous Dallas defense on Monday Night Football is very attractive. He could be the No. 1 WR for the Raiders, which could cause him to be responsible for many Monday Night Miracles in Week 11. I’m fine starting him in my Flex this week and am higher on him than 102 overall.”
– Andrew Hall (FantasyPros)
Chimere Dike (WR – TEN)
“I hate seeing a red ranking when pulling a sleeper out of the muck, but Chimere Dike’s upside outweighs my distaste for his matchup against a Houston Texans defense that ranks in the top five in points allowed to fantasy wide receivers. Dike passes the eye test and the recency love. He’s explosive, he’s had two double-digit scoring weeks in his last three and he receives opportunities to contribute on special teams, where he scored a touchdown in Week 9 against the physical Chargers. I’m not a buyer of the Texans, so a tough red-ranking looks to be more of a paper tiger than a bull with bite. The Titans have nothing to lose, Dike is the best athlete on the field on most snaps, and the Texans are primed for a clunker. Dike’s your low-ranked sleeper with upside this week. Don’t message me on Monday because all I’m going to do is give you the hand and say, “I told ya so.”

Duds
Which player inside the top 40 in the FantasyPros Flex rankings is likely to disappoint fantasy managers this week?
Quinshon Judkins (RB – CLE)
“Quinshon Judkins is averaging 3.1 yards per carry over his last four games; he only has eight receiving yards over that stretch, and he’s failed to score a touchdown in three of those four games. This week he’s up against the Ravens, whose defense has gotten back on track in recent weeks. Judkins still gets plenty of rushing volume, but it might not lead to a particularly fruitful fantasy performance.”
