Injuries, bye weeks, and last week’s trade deadline have shaken up the fantasy football landscape. In addition to players seeing increased fantasy value because of injuries or new opportunities, others could see their stock fall because of a declining role or disappointing performance. Here are the top Week 11 fantasy football risers and fallers to keep in mind for your waiver wire claims, lineup decisions, and long-term roster strategy.
Week 11 Fantasy Football Risers
Marvin Harrison Jr., WR, Arizona Cardinals
The change from Kyler Murray (foot) to Jacoby Brissett at quarterback has not had a negative impact on Harrison. Over five games with Murray, Harrison posted 20 receptions for 306 yards and two touchdowns. Across four games with Brissett, he has 14 receptions for 219 yards and two touchdowns. With him being targeted 22 times over the last two games, he should remain busy down the stretch and be a viable WR2 in fantasy.
Breece Hall, RB, New York Jets
In a difficult matchup against the Browns last week, Hall ran 21 times for 83 yards. He also hauled in his lone target, taking it 42 yards for a touchdown. Garrett Wilson injured his knee in the game and is now expected to be sidelined for at least three weeks. With limited options at wide receiver, Hall should be busy in both facets of the Jets’ offense moving forward. Consider him a low-end RB1, high-end RB2 for fantasy purposes.
Jaylen Warren, RB, Pittsburgh Steelers
Warren came away with 91 total yards against the Chargers in Week 10. They are one of the better defenses in the league, allowing just 20.3 points per game. Going forward, Warren has much more favorable matchups. Four of his next five opponents have given up a least 25.6 points per game. With the Steelers potentially involved in more high-scoring games, Warren checks in as a good RB2 option.
Week 11 Fantasy Football Fallers
Trevor Lawrence, QB, Jacksonville Jaguars
Lawrence struggled against the Texans on Sunday, throwing for 158 yards, one touchdown, and one interception. Across his last three games, he has just two passing touchdowns. For the season, he has thrown one or no touchdown passes in seven of his nine games. Travis Hunter (knee) is out for the season and Brian Thomas Jr. is battling an ankle injury, so Lawrence doesn’t have enough weapons right now to be a viable fantasy option in standard leagues.
Jordan Love, QB, Green Bay Packers
In a low-scoring battle with the Eagles on Monday Night Football, Love threw for 176 yards and no touchdowns. Over his last five games, he has finished with one or no touchdown passes four times. Tucker Kraft (knee) is out for the season, eliminating one of Love’s biggest touchdown threats. Only consider deploying Love in fantasy if he has a very favorable matchup for the week.
Rhamondre Stevenson, RB, New England Patriots
Stevenson (toe) has sat out the last two games. In his absence, Treveyon Henderson has run for 202 yards and two touchdowns. Even when Stevenson returns, he might be in more of a timeshare with Henderson down the stretch. Stevenson is a flex fantasy option, at best, right now.
Takeaway
Harrison, Hall, and Warren are all in line to see their fantasy values rise for Week 11 and beyond. The same can’t be said for Lawrence, Love, and Stevenson. Stevenson could remain a flex option in some formats, but Lawrence and Love are difficult to justify starting in many leagues.
