It's been tough to trust Moore lately since he's scored nine PPR points or less in three games in a row, and he hasn't scored a touchdown since Week 4. But he'll break out of his slump this week against Washington with Cam Newton under center. Washington is No. 2 in most Fantasy points allowed to opposing receivers, and the pass rush shouldn't be a problem for Newton with Chase Young (ACL) and Montez Sweat (jaw) injured. Moore has top-15 upside in all leagues this week.

Higgins hasn't scored a touchdown since Week 2, so he's due to find the end zone. He's still scored 13 PPR points in three games in a row coming into Week 11, and he has at least eight targets in two of his past three outings. He's clearly been outplayed by Ja'Marr Chase, but Higgins should still be considered a quality No. 2 Fantasy receiver in all leagues, with his value slightly higher in PPR.

Waddle will continue to be the No. 1 receiver for the Dolphins with DeVante Parker (shoulder) and Will Fuller (finger) sidelined, and he should once again soak up plenty of volume from Tua Tagovailoa. He has at least eight targets in four of his past five games, and he scored at least 15 PPR points in three of those outings. In their past three games against Cincinnati, Indianapolis and Buffalo, the Jets have allowed six receivers to score at least 13 PPR points, with four touchdowns. Waddle has the chance to go off in this matchup.

Renfrow continues to have a solid season heading into Week 11 against Cincinnati, and he's become a must-start PPR receiver -- and a borderline starter in all leagues. He's scored at least 12 PPR points in three games in a row, and he has a touchdown in each of his past two outings against the Giants and Chiefs. He has six games this season with at least eight targets, and he's averaging 14.3 PPR points over that span. He should continue to see plenty of targets from Derek Carr in this matchup, and Renfrow should have the chance for another quality performance against the Bengals at home.

Cooks didn't have a great game in Week 9 at Miami in the first action with Tyrod Taylor since Week 2, finishing with just six catches for 56 yards. But he had 14 targets against the Dolphins, and he should continue to get plenty of attention moving forward, including in Week 10 at Tennessee. The Titans are No. 1 in Fantasy points allowed to opposing receivers, and six receivers have scored at least 11 PPR points against Tennessee in the past three games. In two games against the Titans last year, Cooks had 20 catches for 234 yards and three touchdowns, so hopefully he stays hot in this matchup.

Mooney went into his bye in Week 10 having scored at least 12 PPR points in three of his past four games. He has three games with at least six targets over that span, and he's become the go-to receiver for Justin Fields. I wouldn't be surprised if Allen Robinson starts to play better down the stretch, and you can use him as a low-end No. 3 Fantasy receiver this week against the Ravens. But I like Mooney more based on his big-play ability, and Baltimore has allowed five receivers to score at least 12 PPR points in the past three games. Mooney is a high-end No. 3 Fantasy receiver in all leagues.

Bateman continued to be a go-to option for Lamar Jackson in Week 10 at Miami even with Sammy Watkins back on the field. Bateman had six catches for 80 yards on eight targets, and he now has at least six targets in every game he's played. He's still looking for his first touchdown, but I love his upside as a top weapon for Jackson. And Chicago is No. 6 in most Fantasy points allowed to opposing receivers, so look for Marquise Brown and Bateman to both play well this week.

In the first game with Julio Jones (hamstring) on injured reserve, Johnson stepped up for the Titans with five catches for 100 yards on six targets against New Orleans in Week 10. This is now three games this season with at least five targets for Johnson, but his performance against the Saints was by far his best. We'll see if he can build off game in Week 11 against Houston, and Johnson is worth using as a low-end No. 3 Fantasy receiver in deeper leagues. The Texans have allowed five touchdowns to opposing receivers in their past three games, which bodes well for A.J. Brown and Johnson this week.

Landry said earlier this week that "I haven't been getting the ball so much," which could lead to a squeaky wheel game against the Lions. He's dealing with a knee injury, but as long as he's playing, he should be worth using as a No. 3 PPR receiver against Detroit. The Lions have allowed five receivers to score at least 13 PPR points in the past three games, and Landry will end his slump of scoring nine PPR points or less in four games in a row. It will also help if Donovan Peoples-Jones is out after he hurt himself during Wednesday's practice.

The Cowboys-Chiefs game has the highest projected score of the week at 56 points, so you want players from this game in your Fantasy lineup. Aside from the obvious guys, you should consider Gallup as a No. 3 receiver in the majority of leagues. He didn't do much in Week 10 against Atlanta with three catches for 42 yards on five targets, but hopefully that was the shake-the-rust-off game after being out with a calf injury since Week 1. This week, don't be surprised if Gallup finds the end zone against the Chiefs, who have allowed three touchdowns to receivers in the past two games.

Golladay has yet to find the end zone this season, and he has one game with more than 10 PPR points. Sterling Shepard (quad) is likely out this week, which could mean more targets for Golladay, but Daniel Jones will also lean on Kadarius Toney, Evan Engram and Saquon Barkley, among others. Tampa Bay's pass defense has also improved dramatically of late, and the Buccaneers have allowed just two touchdowns to opposing receivers in their past six games. At best, use Golladay as a low-end No. 3 Fantasy receiver on Monday night.

Jones is tough to trust since he's scored more than eight PPR points just once in his past six games. He has one touchdown since Week 2, and he's been over 35 receiving yards just once since Week 3. Jamal Agnew is the lone Jaguars receiver to consider this week, and he's just a desperation play in the majority of leagues. Jones is only worth consideration in deeper formats with the hope that he connects with Trevor Lawrence for a touchdown.
| ||||||||||||||||||
Raiders cornerback Nate Hobbs has done well against slot receivers this year, so Boyd is likely looking at another disappointing outing. While Chase and Higgins have been productive for most of this season, we've seen Boyd struggle, and he comes into Week 11 with one game of more than seven PPR points in his past five outings, along with just two touchdowns on the season. It's hard to feel comfortable starting Boyd, even in deep PPR leagues.
| ||||||||||||||||||
Green might get Kyler Murray (ankle) back for this week, and it sounds like DeAndre Hopkins (hamstring) could remain out. That seems like a good setup, but I would still sit Green in most formats. Christian Kirk would be worth using as a borderline starter with his matchup against Seattle's Ugo Amadi in the slot, but Green could struggle against D.J. Reed or Tre Brown on the perimeter. And if Murray is out again, Green is not startable in any formats.

T.Y. Hilton has played the majority of two games this season, which are Week 6 against Houston and Week 10 against Jacksonville. In those two games, Pittman has struggled, scoring five PPR points against the Texans and 12 PPR points against the Jaguars. Those are the only two games since Week 5 where he's been under 17 PPR points. Hilton is expected to play against the Bills this week, and it's a tough matchup for Pittman, who could see shadow coverage from Tre'Davious White. Buffalo is No. 1 in fewest Fantasy points allowed to receivers, and the Bills have given up just three touchdowns to opposing receivers this year. Pittman is only worth using as a No. 3 Fantasy receiver in most leagues.
