Fantasy Football Players to Buy: Week 11
Here are players we’re trading for in fantasy football Week 11.
Players to Buy
Kenneth Walker III (RB – SEA)
On the ground in Week 9, Kenneth Walker III led the rushing attack with 25 carries, gaining 83 yards at an average of 3.3 yards per carry, with a long run of 10 yards. Walker had four red zone rush attempts, 0 rush TDs, 1 red zone target. I’d buy Walker without much shine on him coming off a bye week. He hasn’t scored in back-to-back games but has some favorable matchups in the second half of the season.
Deebo Samuel Sr. (WR – SF)
Deebo Samuel Sr. had 5 catches on 6 targets for 62 yards, averaging 12.4 yards per reception, with a long catch of 32 yards and 40 YAC. Samuel Sr. ran a route on 76% of dropbacks. Registered an 18% target share, contributing 32 air yards or 13% of air yards. All in all, if possible, you want to acquire the remaining (healthy) 49ers. Playoff schedule: vs LAR, @ MIA and vs DET.
Garrett Wilson (WR – NYJ)
In the receiving game, Garrett Wilson was the most productive, catching 5 of his 6 targets for 41 yards, averaging 8.2 yards per reception with a long of 12 yards. Registered an 18% target share, adding 41 air yards or 20% of air yards. Two red-zone targets, one reception, zero touchdowns. Davante Adams was targeted heavily with 13 passes but managed only 6 catches for 31 yards, averaging 5.2 yards per catch, as the Jets struggled to get him into open space. Dominated with a 39% target share, totaling 77 air yards, which accounted for 38% of the team’s air yards. Four red-zone targets, one reception, zero touchdowns. Adams had a back-breaking drop in the end zone.
Given the Jets remaining schedule, you need to be buying BOTH Jets WRs, after this bad game. At least kick the tires on both of them. Remember, the Jets get the Rams and Jaguars in the first two weeks of the fantasy football playoffs. They play all the snaps. Each ran a route on 100% of the dropbacks in Week 10. Per the FantasyPros SOS tool, the Jets have the sixth-ranked schedule for WRs for the rest of the season (6th for QBs).
George Pickens (WR – PIT)
Among receivers, George Pickens led with 5 receptions on 7 targets, totaling 91 yards and a touchdown, averaging 18.2 yards per catch, with a long of 34 yards and 31 yards after the catch (YAC). One red-zone target, one reception.
Led with a 28% target share, gaining 124 air yards, which accounted for 39% of the team’s air yards.
Dude has been absolutely balling with Wilson under center, with a 27% target share, 42% air yards share averaging 92 receiving yards per game. Buy HIM aggressively.
Because the best might be yet to come. Keep in mind he only had two TDs this season despite being top-10 in yards among WRs.
Marvin Harrison Jr. (WR – ARI)
Marvin Harrison Jr. had a strong showing as well, catching all five of his targets for 54 yards and one red-zone touchdown, averaging 10.8 yards per catch. Held a 21% target share, totaling 35 air yards for a 32% air yards share. Like last week, buy MHJ.
The Cardinals are on their bye week in Week 11. After their bye week, the schedule is salivating for the playoff run: @ SEA, @ MIN, vs. SEA, vs. NE, @ CAR, @ LAR, and vs. SF.
Brian Robinson Jr. (RB – WAS)
Without Brian Robinson Jr.(hamstring for second straight week), the Commanders morphed back into a two-headed monster, with just two RBs seeing significant snaps. Ekeler led the way with a 70% snap share.
Again I think I’d use this opportunity to buy low on B-Rob. He going to reclaim his role as the red-zone guy for the Commanders upon his return. The playoff schedule features the Saints, Eagles, and Falcons fresh off a Week 14 bye week.
Tyrone Tracy Jr. (RB – NYG)
In the rushing game, Tyrone Tracy Jr. led with 18 carries for 103 yards and 1 touchdown, averaging 5.7 yards per carry with a long run of 32 yards. Devin Singletary added 40 rushing yards on 8 attempts, averaging 5.0 yards per carry, with a long of 14 yards.
First-half carries were 8 for Tracy and three for Singletary. The rookie had three red-zone rushing attempts as well.
It was a near perfect day for Tracy, had it not been for a back-breaking lost fumble in overtime.
I expect the rookie to finish the season strong. Per the FantasyPros SOS tool, the Giants have the No. 5 most favorable schedule for RBs. Buy.
Josh Downs (WR – IND)
Josh Downs led the team in targets with 10, catching 7 for 72 yards, with a long reception of 21 yards. Held a 29% target share and 36% target rate, amassing 75 air yards, which accounted for 27% of air yards. He also had three red-zone targets and one reception. Downs also had a walk-in touchdown but dropped it. Continue to target Downs in trades.
Bucky Irving (RB – TB)
On the ground, Bucky Irving led the rushing attack with 13 carries for 73 yards, averaging 5.6 yards per carry, including a 14-yard run and a touchdown. Bucky led with six first-half carries to White’s two. The rookie had three red-zone rushing attempts and one rushing touchdown.
Per Next Gen Stats, Irving generated +18 rushing yards over expected and forced 5 missed tackles on rushing attempts, both of which were his 2nd-most in a game this season. Irving has forced a total of 40 missed tackles on rushing attempts this season.
Rachaad White added 10 carries for 31 yards, averaging 3.1 yards per carry, with a long of 8 yards.
White had two red-zone rushing attempts, zero rushing touchdowns, one reception, one red-zone target, one receiving touchdown.
In the passing game, Rachaad White led in receptions with 6 catches on 7 targets (24% target share) for 39 yards, averaging 6.5 yards per catch, with a long of 10 yards and 38 yards after the catch (YAC), including a touchdown reception.
Bucky Irving contributed to the receiving game as well, with 3 catches on 3 targets for 14 yards, averaging 4.7 yards per catch, with a 12-yard long and 24 YAC.
White has gotten by the last four games with five TDs.
Irving is the best running back on the Buccaneers. Not White. After White scored yet again, you best be selling high. But if you can’t sell high on White – hold him. Great schedule for RBs rest of the season. Per the FantasyPros SOS tool, it’s No. 1 for RBs rest of season.
Chuba Hubbard (RB – CAR)
On the ground, Chuba Hubbard dominated with 28 carries for 153 yards and one touchdown, averaging 5.5 yards per carry with a long run of 26 yards. Five red-zone rushing attempts, one rushing touchdown. Hubbard got hurt toward the end of the game but he returned.
Young contributed with 2 rushes for 30 yards, including a 24-yard scramble. Miles Sanders added 5 yards on 2 carries, averaging 2.5 yards per rush. He was carted off the field at the start of the second quarter. Jonathon Brooks was a healthy scratch.
Been suggesting Hubbard as a “sell-high” the last few weeks, but the opportunity seems like it’s long gone at this point. And my stance has changed given his new extension signed last week. He is the Panthers RB1 rest of season.
Brooks will make his debut in Week 12 for the Panthers, especially if the Sanders injury is serious.
He’s the future for the Panthers at running back, but now so is Hubbard. If Brooks just takes on the Sanders role – five to six touches per game – that won’t impact Hubbard in any way. Might actually make Hubbard a sneaky buy. Because Carolina has shown zero reason to believe they are ready to give Brooks a sizeable workload after drafting him in the second round of this year’s draft.
Rhamondre Stevenson (RB – NE)
In the ground game, Rhamondre Stevenson led with 20 carries for 74 yards, averaging 3.7 yards per carry with a long of 11 yards. He had seven red-zone rushing attempts but fell short of the end zone.
Antonio Gibson contributed 5 carries for 26 yards (all in the second half with two carries in the red zone), averaging 5.2 yards per carry with a long of 10 yards, while Maye added 24 rushing yards on 4 attempts. JaMycal Hasty got more usage early on, seeing five carries in the first half for 17 yards.
Stevenson had an uncharacteristic finish in Week 10. His streak as the Amari Cooper of RBs this season came to end. Nine games played this season. Five top-10 finishes (including three inside the top-5). Then three outside the top 40 overall.
Week 10 (MNF pending), he is RB25.
Still selling off the recent TD streak was correct. But an RB25 finish is hardly a dud based on a tough matchup on the road versus the Bears (although their run defense did not have Andrew Billings).
I think I’ve reached the point with Stevenson that all I care about is chasing his potential ceiling. So unless you are trading him for a sweet return (probably not) I think he’s now a buy candidate.
Amari Cooper (WR – BUF)
In the receiving corps, Mack Hollins was highly efficient, catching all four of his targets for 86 yards, including a long catch of 44 yards. Hollins ran a route on 85% of dropbacks with both Amari Cooper and Keon Coleman inactive.
Cooper (wrist) was inactive again for Sunday’s game against the Colts. And with that, it’s another week where his value will fall. Buy low. Coleman looks like he is going to miss more games than Cooper. The rookie has already been ruled out against the Chiefs in Week 11. Won’t see him until after the bye.
What do we do always do after Cooper busts or disappoints? Buy low, although that comes with the caveat you want to get on the Cooper ride at all.
Travis Etienne Jr. (RB – JAC)
In the rushing game, Travis Etienne led with 11 carries for 44 yards, including a long run of 18 yards and an average of 4 yards per carry. He scored, but it was overturned upon review. He was not involved as a receiver, with just one target.
Mac Jones contributed on the ground as well, rushing 5 times for 8 yards, including a rushing touchdown after Etienne didn’t punch it in. Tank Bigsby added 4 yards on two attempts before getting hurt in the first quarter. He returned but was not involved.
Given the state of the dysfunctional Jaguars, you just have to sit tight with this backfield. Etienne might be a sneaky buy given the injury to Bigsby if anything.
Per the FantasyPros SOS tool, the Jaguars have the second-worst-ranked schedule for running backs. Although it does ease up in Weeks 14-15 against the Jets/Raiders plus Colts in Week 17 (reason to hold onto Etienne and Bigsby).
Audric Estime (RB – DEN)
In the rushing attack, Audric Estime led the team with 14 carries for 53 yards, averaging 3.8 yards per carry with a long run of 10 yards. Marvin Mims Jr. added 17 yards on three carries, while Jaleel McLaughlin contributed 12 yards on two attempts, averaging 6 yards per carry. Mims seemed noticeably more involved with seven touches across the board and a red-zone reception. A lot of schemed touches for the second-year WR. He was the first Broncos player to have multiple carries. Also targeted on 57% of his routes.
McLaughlin started, but Estime led the backfield with four carries in the first half. The rookie also had another 17-yard gain wiped out on a penalty. The Notre Dame product had two red zone rushing attempts to Javonte Williams‘ one.
Javonte Williams ran a route on 26% of dropbacks but finished with just three touches. After an up-and-down season, the clock has struck midnight on Williams. It’s over folks.
McLaughlin ran a route on just 6% of dropbacks. As of right now, McLaughlin is a clear drop, with Williams’ taking over the pass-catching role “full-time.” IN shallower formats, both Williams/McLaughlin can be cut.
Because it’s FINALLY time for Estime. We have had signals that this change was coming, but finally we saw it happen in real time. Hopefully you were able to stash Estime ahead of the move, but if not he becomes the top waiver target this week.
That being said, per the FantasyPros Strength of Schedule tool, the Broncos have a bottom-five schedule for fantasy RBs for the rest of the season.
Diontae Johnson (WR – BAL)
Diontae Johnson and Charlie Kolar each contributed with a reception, while Henry and Justice Hill had limited contributions in the passing game. Keaton Mitchell played two offensive snaps.
Johnson ran a route on 8% of dropbacks (less than last week). Earned a 6% target share, totaling 35 air yards and making up 14% of air yards.
Ideally, we would like to see DJ supplant Agholor, but that still might be another week away.
Had this not been a short week, maybe we would have seen more of Johnson. I can say confidently that given it’s Steelers-Ravens this week, I’d bet Johnson starts to get really ramped up. Still, you can’t start him confidently. And if you need the roster spot with byes, he is first on the chopping block. Still he is going to get dropped in the leagues and I’d happily scoop him up as a roster stash.
But if I can keep that upside on my roster I want to. Every game the Ravens play turns into a shootout. Eventually Johnson will benefit. Also, if there’s an injury…his value would skyrocket.
Trey Benson (RB – ARI)
In the backfield, Trey Benson led the Cardinals’ rushing efforts with 10 carries for 62 yards, averaging an impressive 6.2 yards per carry, with a long of 14 yards.
James Conner had a balanced game, rushing 12 times for 33 yards and a touchdown, though his 2.8 YPC was more modest. Benson had four carries in the first half for 28 yards, with one reception. Conner finished with a 54% snap share to Benson’s 27%. The rookie tied a season-high 12 touches in Week 10 after seeing nine in Week 9. Again, a friendly reminder to make sure that Benson is not available in any league formats for the upside he could deliver if there’s a Conner injury. Conner is sixth in touches this season and has been banged up here and there. We know about his long injury history.
Christian Watson (WR – GB)
Christian Watson hauled in three of seven targets for 37 yards back in Week9, with a 12.3-yard average and a long catch of 19 yards. He had one red-zone target (didn’t score) but converted a two-point conversion.
Watson’s underlying usage was strong: 145 air yards, 38.98% air yards share, 18.92% target share. In the last two games, Watson leads the Packers in targets (13) and air yards (211) but he has just seven catches for 76 yards.
