Here are some options at the wide receiver position for fantasy football players looking for a boost in Week 11, as well as some players to avoid.

Fantasy football starts them off: Week 11’s wide receivers

George PickensPittsburgh Steelers (vs. Baltimore Ravens)

In the three games since Russell Wilson took over at quarterback, Pickens has thrown for 276 yards and two touchdowns on 14 catches. This week, he’ll face a Ravens defense that has allowed the most fantasy points to wide receivers over the past four weeks, including 264 yards, three touchdowns from Bengals forward Ja’Marr Chase.

Courtland SuttonDenver Broncos (vs. Atlanta Falcons)

Sutton should be considered a weekly starter at this point in the season. Despite facing a tough secondary from the Chiefs last week, he was a member of the “starter” club and still put up 70 yards and a touchdown on six catches. Quarterback Bo Nix relies on Sutton more than any other pass catcher in the Broncos’ offense. This week, the duo faces a Falcons defense that has struggled to shut down opposing wide receivers: Marquez Valdes-Scantling had 109 yards and two touchdowns on three catches in Week 10.

Calvin RidleyTennessee Titans (vs. Minnesota Vikings)

Ridley was a “sit out” candidate last week due to the difficulties he previously experienced when Will Levis started under center. But concerns about the young quarterback and his connection to his top receiver were put to rest after an 84-yard, two-touchdown performance against the Chargers’ powerful secondary. Things get easier this week against the Vikings, who have the third-most points in fantasy football this year.

Michael Pittman Jr.Indianapolis Colts (at New York Jets)

Pittman may not play in Week 11 after missing the Colts’ Week 10 game with a back injury. If he comes back, there won’t be much advantage for the experienced player. He will be shaky at best and will face a Jets defense that has allowed the fewest fantasy points out of the game this year.

DJ MooreChicago Bears (vs. Green Bay Packers)

Moore’s production has fallen off a cliff since his “revenge game” against his former team, the Carolina Panthers, in Week 5. After a 105-yard, two-touchdown day, the 27-year-old was unable to throw more than four touchdowns. passes, those that count for more than 35 yards, or those that see the end zone. Better days may be ahead for the bears after internal turmoil. Fired offensive coordinator Shane Waldron. There’s no reason to believe that will be the case this week in the Packers secondary, which has allowed the third-fewest fantasy points per game over the last four weeks.

Jordan AddisonMinnesota Vikings (at Tennessee Titans)

Fantasy football players hoping Addison’s rough day on “Sunday Night Football” last week was a sign of a comeback were disappointed in Week 10. The Week 9 matchup with the Colts remains the only game of the second year with more than three games this year. catches and has yet to surpass his 72-yard receiving total from Week 4 against the Packers.
