Fantasy Football Sleepers Week 11 brings another round of lineup challenges and opportunities to find under-the-radar gems. One of the most frustrating parts of fantasy football is setting the right lineup and watching a player you almost started put up big points on your bench.
Starting your superstar players every week, regardless of the matchup, is an easy call. However, what about the rest of your roster?
Fantasy Football Sleepers Week 11
Here are five undervalued fantasy football sleepers Week 11 who could provide a significant boost to your lineup.
Russell Wilson (QB – PIT) vs. Baltimore Ravens
Wilson is one of the top fantasy football sleepers in Week 11. He has played well since taking over as the starting quarterback. The veteran is the QB11 on a points-per-game basis as the starter, averaging 19.3 fantasy points per contest. He has a higher fantasy average than several big-name quarterbacks over the past four weeks, including Kyler Murray, Patrick Mahomes, and Jayden Daniels. Last week, Wilson had a season-high three passing touchdowns against the Washington Commanders, including the game-winning score to Mike Williams.
More importantly, the Ravens have struggled to slow down opposing quarterbacks. The AFC North division rivals have surrendered 22.1 fantasy points per game to opposing passers, the second-most in the NFL. Bo Nix is the only quarterback with fewer than two passing touchdowns and 21 fantasy points against Baltimore over the past six weeks. By comparison, the other five quarterbacks averaged 3.4 passing touchdowns and 27.8 fantasy points per game against the Ravens’ struggling defense.
Nick Chubb (RB – CLE) vs. New Orleans Saints
The former superstar hasn’t played well since returning from a gruesome knee injury. Chubb has averaged only 2.7 yards per rushing attempt this season, posting a 3.3 or lower average in every game. Furthermore, he has averaged 6.3 half-point PPR fantasy points per game, totaling 5.2 or less in back-to-back contests. However, expect him to have a massive performance on Sunday after having two weeks to continue to heal from his knee injury.
New Orleans’ defense has struggled this season, giving up 113.3 rushing yards per game to running backs. More importantly, they have surrendered 24.3 fantasy points per game to running backs, the third-most in the NFL. Last week, the Saints gave up 31 rushing attempts for 175 yards, two touchdowns, and 33.8 fantasy points to the Atlanta Falcons backfield. Running backs have had two rushing touchdowns in four of their past five games against New Orleans.
Courtland Sutton (WR – DEN) vs. Atlanta Falcons
While Sutton and the Broncos’ passing attack got off to a rough start this season, they’ve been clicking lately. The veteran wide receiver is the WR16 for the year, averaging 9.9 half-point PPR fantasy points per game. He has been outstanding lately. Sutton has been the WR4 over the past three weeks, averaging 10 targets and 16.3 fantasy points per game, scoring 16 or more in back-to-back contests. Last week, the veteran had his first touchdown since Week 6.
Meanwhile, the Falcons’ defense has played well this year. However, Atlanta has given up 28.6 fantasy points per game to wide receivers, the 10th-most in the NFL. They have surrendered 30 or more fantasy points in back-to-back games. More importantly, the Falcons gave up three receptions for 109 receiving yards, two touchdowns, and 24.4 fantasy points to Marquez Valdes-Scantling last week. Don’t be surprised if Sutton has over 20 fantasy points this week.
Cedric Tillman (WR – CLE) vs. New Orleans Saints
Hopefully, fantasy players added Tillman off the waiver wire a few weeks ago. He has emerged as one of the best fantasy football sleepers of 2024. The former Tennessee has been outstanding since the Cleveland Browns traded away Amari Cooper and lost Deshaun Watson to a season-ending torn Achilles. Many believe he could be a league-winning addition off the waiver wire. Tillman was the WR1 from Week 7 through Week 9, averaging 18.7 half-point PPR fantasy points per game. The second-year pro has had three consecutive top-14 finishes.
Furthermore, Tillman has three receiving touchdowns in his past two games. More importantly, the second-year pro has an appealing matchup in Week 11. The Saints have struggled to slow down opposing No. 1 wide receivers, giving up 17.2 fantasy points per game over the past three weeks. Tillman’s floor this week is top 20. However, he could finish as the overall WR1, especially if Jameis Winston plays well in a revenge game against his former team.
Will Dissly (TE – LAC) vs. Cincinnati Bengals
With Trey McBride and Cade Otton on a bye this week, fantasy players must find a replacement off the waiver wire. Thankfully, Dissly is an excellent streaming option as well as one of the best fantasy football sleepers in Week 11. The veteran tight end has averaged 6.8 targets and 6.5 half-point PPR fantasy points per game over the past four weeks. More importantly, he had the second-highest first-read target share in the NFL last week (41.7%), finishing only behind Davante Adams (per Fantasy Points Data).
Dissly has an excellent matchup against the Bengals on Sunday night. They have surrendered 12.5 fantasy points per game to tight ends, the fourth-most in the NFL. Furthermore, tight ends have had over 60 receiving yards against Cincinnati in five of their past six matchups. The Bengals have given up at least seven receptions for 67 receiving yards, a touchdown, and 16.2 fantasy points to tight ends in three of their past four games.
