Top daily fantasy football wide receiver plays for Week 11

Welcome to Week 11 of the Daily Fantasy season. Pricing has stabilized as trends have emerged, but there are still bargains to be found and even some higher-priced options that will go underowned and can make a difference in your lineups. This article looks at some of the projected lesser-owned plays at wide receiver who could provide huge boosts to your tournament lineups, as well as some trap plays to avoid.

Recommending A-Rob has not been a winning formula in any format this season, but the darling of 2015 is starting to show some of that form (at last) in 2016. After bottoming out with two catches for nine yards in Week 7, Robinson has put up double-digit FanDuel points the past three weeks and has scored touchdowns the past two. Robinson has a Mike Evans-esque 40 targets over the past three weeks, and now he gets to face a porous Lions defense. Maybe his ownership will start creeping up but not so much that you’d want to fade him, especially at that price.

Staying in the same game, with another bad pass defense on the field, we turn to another receiver who has disappointed this season. But Tate has seen an average of 11 targets over the past four weeks and had 11 catches and a touchdown against the Vikings before the bye. He should continue to be active against the Jags.

Don’t look now, but Edelman and Tom Brady are getting back to the kind of chemistry that has produced big numbers over the years. Edelman just missed topping 100 yards last week against the Seahawks, and with Rob Gronkowski already declared out, Edelman should see his role in the passing game increase against a 49ers defense that shouldn’t give Brady much trouble. Edelman’s price does not reflect Gronk’s absence, making him a top value play this weekend.

It is going to be a windy, gusty, blustery day in Cleveland, which favors the slot receivers over the deep guys. Not that Antonio Brown isn’t going to get his, but Rogers, who had 100 yards two weeks ago and a touchdown last week, should see more than the five targets he usually gets in this offense. The Browns give up production by the bagful, and Rogers should come up big in this environment.

Jeremy Maclin is out once again, and Hill figures to reap the benefits against a pass defense that gets torched on a regular basis. Hill is emerging as one of the top rookie receivers in the league and was a target monster last week with 13, which he turned into 10 catches. Expect more of that against the Bucs.

Windy conditions are expected in New Jersey on Sunday, which should affect the passing games for both teams. ODB also has the task of facing a better-than-average pass defense. It’s not the best recipe for success, especially at such a high price tag. In fact, take away that one 222-yard game against Baltimore, and Beckham has rarely paid off his salary this season.

Meredith faces the same conditions as Beckham, and while he is expected to fill the role of suspended receiver Alshon Jeffery, Meredith has not been a favorite target of Jay Cutler. Eddie Royal is probably the safer play if you’re going to use a Chicago receiver.
