Those receivers include Cooper Kupp and Robert Woods (@ Buccaneers), Chris Godwin, Antonio Brown, and Mike Evans (vs. Rams), Will Fuller (vs. Patriots), Tyler Boyd and Tee Higgins (@ Washington), and Kenny Golladay (@ Panthers). Thye all remain in the WR2/3 tier in our rankings, but all are in tough spots. Further down the rankings, Jerry Jeudy and Tim Patrick (vs. Dolphins), Brandin Cooks (@ Patriots), Allen Lazard and Marquez Valdes-Scantling (@ Colts), T.Y. Hilton (vs. Packers), Marvin Jones (@ Panthers), Corey Davis (@ Ravens), and A.J. Green (@ Washington) are even tougher to start.
WEEK 11 STANDARD RANKINGS:Quarterback | Running back | Tight end | D/ST | Kicker
Rising up to take their places are Jakobi Meyers (@ Texans), Jalen Reagor (@ Browns), Marquise Brown (vs. Titans), Chase Claypool (@ Jaguars), Nelson Agholor (vs. Chiefs), Curtis Samuel (vs. Lions), Sammy Watkins (@ Raiders), and Michael Gallup (@ Vikings). Going deeper, you could try high-floor, low-ceiling plays like Larry Fitzgerald (@ Seahawks), Willie Snead (vs. Titans), or Russell Gage (@ Saints), or you could try the boom-or-bust sleepers like Tre’Quan Smith (vs. Falcons), Henry Ruggs (vs. Chiefs), and Demarcus Robinson and Mecole Hardman (@ Raiders). Even if you aren’t going to bench a normal starter, you might need some of these guys if you own WRs from the Bills, 49ers, Bears, or Giants, all of whom are on bye.
WEEK 11 PPR RANKINGS:Quarterback | Running back | Wide receiver | Tight end | D/ST | Kicker
You’ll notice some injury-worries in the names listed above. Golladay (hip), Lazard (core), and Watkins (hamstring) have all missed multiple weeks, but both Lazard and Watkins are expected back and Golladay has a chance at returning. (Update: Golladay has been ruled out for Week 11.) Calvin Ridley (foot) is also expected back after having a bye week to rest up. He’s a must-start in what should be a fantasy WR bonanza for all parties (Julio Jones, Michael Thomas, Emmanuel Sanders) in the Falcons-Saints game, though the bonanaza could be on hold for New Orleans’ disappointing WRs if Drew Brees (ribs) is out. Jameis Winston can certainly help his receivers put up major points in such a favorable matchup, but the Saints could go with a Taysom Hill-led run-heavy game plan, so there’s still a lot that remains to be seen there.

This shapes up to be one of those weeks where a few normally reliable starters disappoint you – and worse yet, you can probably guess who it will be. But it’s always tough to sit those types of receivers, so there’s only so much you can do unless you’re really willing to take a risk and can handle things potentially blowing up in your face. Sometimes it’s worth it to take that kind of a chance, at least with the Jeudy/Cooks/Davis types, but you need to feel really good about your replacements to bench the more reliable receivers, especially in PPR leagues.
