Week 11 of fantasy football has arrived, with managers required to make difficult lineup decisions.\u00a0 Sometimes, players who are viewed as fringe starters can produce unexpectedly big performances.\u00a0 These can often make or break fantasy football matchups.\u00a0 Below is a list of players, one from each position, who carry upside this week and can be placed in fantasy starting lineups.<\/p>\n
Week 10 Upside Plays<\/a> was a bit of a mixed bag.\u00a0 Tua Tagovailoa underwhelmed despite the Dolphins winning, while Najee Harris and Theo Johnson had modest fantasy outings.\u00a0 Darnell Mooney exceeded his weekly projection, as he has done many times so far this season.<\/p>\n C.J. Stroud has struggled for production this season, currently ranking well outside the top-12 quarterbacks in fantasy (QB17).\u00a0 The Texans<\/a> signal caller has thrown only two passing touchdowns in his last five starts.\u00a0 Nonetheless, Stroud gets an advantageous matchup in Week 11 against the Cowboys<\/a> and should also have top receiver Nico Collins back from a lengthy hamstring injury<\/a>.\u00a0 The Cowboys defense ranks bottom-five against quarterbacks, allowing 22.78 fantasy points per game (FPPG).\u00a0 Fantasy managers who have pivoted away from Stroud in recent weeks should give the second-year pro an opportunity to bounce back in Week 11.<\/p>\n Jaylen Warren has been slowly heating up in recent weeks.\u00a0 The Steelers<\/a> running-back has recorded over 40 rushing yards in each of the last three games and saw a season-high 14 carries in Week 10.\u00a0 The Steelers face the Ravens in Week 11 in a crucial divisional matchup.\u00a0 Although the Ravens<\/a> have a top run defense, they have leaked receiving yards and receptions to running-backs this season.\u00a0 While Warren will continue to split volume with early down back Najee Harris, he has carved out a notable change-of-pace role in this Steelers offense.\u00a0 Managers can view Warren as a solid RB3\/flex option with upside in Week 11.<\/p>\n Including Calvin Ridley again in this week’s edition, as the veteran wideout put in another solid showing in Week 10.\u00a0 Ridley has seen at least eight targets in five consecutive weeks and is the only relevant receiving option for the struggling Titans<\/a>.\u00a0 The Titans play the Vikings<\/a> in Week 11, which presents another plus matchup for Ridley.\u00a0 The Vikings defense is allowing the third-most yards and FPPG to opposing wide receivers this season.\u00a0 While it’s difficult to predict how quarterback Will Levis will play on a weekly basis, fantasy managers should put trust in Ridley to be productive again this week.<\/p>\n Calvin Ridley over the last four weeks: He's the WR5 over this stretch \ud83d\udc40 pic.twitter.com\/sJ3J4FHx55<\/a><\/p>\n — NFL Fantasy Football (@NFLFantasy) November 13, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\nWeek 11 Fantasy Football – Upside Plays of the Week<\/h2>\n
