Typically, NFL players who make it to their 13th season in the league do not play at an extremely high level. However, this is not the case with Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald in 2016.
Fantasy football start/sit advice, Week 11: Larry Fitzgerald could be in for an off day
Arizona’s star wide receiver has been on fire as of late, but he will face a tough Vikings defense on Sunday. We explore the fantasy implications.

Fitzgerald is currently leading the team in catches (68), targets (99), receiving yards (686), and receiving touchdowns (5). He is also on pace this year to eclipse his previous career best of 109 catches in one season.
Fantasy Impact: Despite catching 31 passes in his last three games, Fitzgerald is going to have his work cut out for him on Sunday when he has to face a solid Minnesota Vikings defense.
The Vikings are giving up the second fewest fantasy points per game to opposing wide receivers in 2016. Minnesota has not allowed an opposing pass catcher to gain over 100 receiving yards this season, but it has given up five touchdowns to the position group in the past four games.
Fantasy owners should likely still keep Fitzgerald as a starter this week, but they should not be surprised if his recent impressive pace comes to a halt on Sunday.
