Fantasy Football Start em, Sit em Lineup Advice: Week 11
Since returning to Cleveland’s lineup last month, David Njoku has been heavily involved in the passing game. Njoku has 25 receptions on 35 targets across his last four games. However, he has only finished better than TE20 in two of those four games. Njoku is once again in line to be a touchdown-dependent TE1 this week against the New Orleans Saints. Unfortunately, the Saints have given up just one touchdown to opposing tight ends this season. Njoku gets enough volume to keep him relevant, but he may not live up to his top-five billing in Week 11.
Wilson has finished as a QB1 in two of his three starts this season (QB3, QB9). Wilson has been walking a fine tightrope. Among 41 qualifying quarterbacks, he is third in yards per attempt, passer rating, and fantasy points per dropback, but his accuracy metrics have been abysmal. Among the same sample group, he is 35th in CPOE and 40th in highly accurate throw rate and catchable target rate. None of those numbers are great, but Wilson also has the third-highest aDOT and the second-highest deep ball rate, so the degree of difficulty with many of his throws has been high. Wilson should be able to thread the needle for another week against a struggling Baltimore secondary. The Ravens have allowed the most passing yards per game, the most passing touchdowns, and the second-most deep passing yards and deep passing touchdowns.
Last week, Jennings had a wonderful week in his return to the lineup as the WR15 for the week. He gobbled up a 30.6% target share, a 33.9% air-yard share, and a 38.5% first-read share, and he finished with seven grabs and 93 receiving yards. Jennings has seven red zone and deep targets in his seven games played. He ripped the Buccaneers singe-high coverage last week (78% of snaps), and he’s primed to do the same to Seattle this week. Since Week 2, Seattle has had the tenth-highest rate of single-high (56.5%). Jennings is second on the team with a 24% TPRR against single high while also logging 2.16 YPRR and a 23.8% first-read share. Since Week 4, Seattle has allowed the fourth-most fantasy points per game and the third-most receiving yards per game to perimeter wide receivers.
