Fantasy Football Rankings: Week 11
Fitz’s Fantasy Football Takes
Other people are higher on Russell Wilson this week than I am. He has a juicy matchup against a Ravens pass defense that has allowed the most passing yardage and second-most fantasy points to quarterbacks. Wilson has been sharp in his three starts, averaging 8.7 yards per attempt and throwing a touchdown pass on 7.1% of his pass attempts. Those numbers seem destined to regress. Wilson’s career high in yards per attempt was 8.3 way back in 2015. I also worry about Wilson’s passing volume. The Steelers are the second run-heaviest team in the league, running the ball on 53.3% of their offensive snaps. Wilson has thrown fewer than 30 passes in all three of his starts. I see him as more of a high-end QB2 for Week 11 than a QB1.
Aaron Jones investors got a scare last week when Jones took a shot to the ribs and was carted off the field. But Jones says the only reason he was carted off was because the X-ray machine in Jacksonville was at the far end of the stadium. He’s good to go for Week 11, and I’m ranking him as a high-end RB2. He’s facing a pretty solid Titans defense, although Tennessee has given up 12 touchdowns to RBs in nine games. Jones has been a consistent performer, posting double-digit point totals (0.5 PPR) in six of his last seven games.
Zay Flowers is probably an auto-start in all but extremely shallow fantasy leagues. He’s has gone over 100 receiving yards in four of his last six games. But we’ve seen a dip in his targets lately. Flowers is never going to be an Antonio Brown-type target monster, but Flowers saw nine or more targets in four of the Ravens’ first six games. His target counts over Baltimore’s last four games: 1, 12, 6, 6. The 12-target game was immediately before the Dionte Johnson trade. Johnson has played only 22 snaps in his first two games with Baltimore, but Ravens head coach John Harbaugh says the team is going to ramp up Johnson’s usage. The Ravens have also gotten TE Mark Andrews more involved lately after his quiet start to the season. Flowers is a fine player. I just wonder if he’s about to get caught in a target squeeze.
As my colleague Derek Brown notes in this week’s installment of The Primer, Will Dissly has had a 21.3% target share and 22.9% first-read share since Week 6, averaging 1.70 yards per route run over those five games. Dissly faces a Bengals defense that has allowed the seventh-most receiving yards and the fourth-most fantasy points per game to tight ends. He’s a viable streaming option.
