Fantasy Football Week 11 Expert Picks: Trey McBride, Justin Jefferson, and More

The NFL regular season is long. It stretches over one-third of the calendar year, but it's not as bad as the other sports with many more games. When each team only plays 17 games, even spreading them over a longer time frame isn't as obtrusive as 162 baseball games, for instance.

In fantasy football, that lower frequency helps owners stay more engaged, as we only have to set a roster once per week rather than every day. That relative ease can also lull us into a false sense of security, as the fantasy regular season is quickly coming to a close.

That means fewer chances remain to rack up wins and improve your team, and the stress will keep building each week as the season winds down. That means every decision could be the make-or-break move that propels you to the postseason or leaves you fighting for the consolation trophy.

Luckily, the experts at FantasySP are here to help. Morgan Rode and Daniel Hepner answered five fantasy football questions in advance of Week 11 of the NFL season.

Who is your favorite streaming quarterback in Week 11?

Morgan: It's honestly probably Aaron Rodgers. He has a great matchup against the Bengals, who he delivered a big fantasy score against back in Week 7. There's a chance Rodgers posts a top-10 fantasy score in this matchup again.

Daniel: Tua Tagovailoa has been uneven as the team around him crumbles, but he has put up numbers in the past and still has a few good playmakers in De'Von Achane and Jaylen Waddle. Washington has allowed the most yards per pass attempt and the fifth-most fantasy points per game to quarterbacks. This game starts early, as it's being played in Spain, so make your moves accordingly.

How about a running back set to disappoint owners because of a tough matchup?

Morgan: I think Derrick Henry could struggle again in Week 11 against the Browns. Cleveland is a tough matchup for fantasy backs, and they shut down Henry early in the season already. If Henry doesn't find the end zone, his fantasy score could be low again.

Daniel: Henry is a great pick here, but I'll also give you Kenneth Walker III and Zach Charbonnet against the Rams. Los Angeles has given up the seventh-fewest yards per rush attempt and the fewest fantasy points per game to running backs. Walker gets a little more volume, but Charbonnet is the goal line back, so they steal work from each other, and the matchup is not in their favor here.

Is there a wide receiver who you want as your WR3 or flex this week?

Morgan: Tre Tucker is the obvious guy for me. He is the Raiders' No. 1 option and has a stellar matchup against the Cowboys in Week 11. Tucker has a chance to shine again, just like he did way back in Week 3.

Daniel: Tucker is also my pick, but I'll again give you some variety and point out Jordan Addison. He might border on WR2 status, moving him out of this discussion, but Addison probably still qualifies as a WR3 type, especially with a superstar above him on the depth chart. The Bears have given up the third-most yards per pass attempt and the fourth-most fantasy points per game to wide receivers.

Which tight end is staying on your bench?

Morgan: Among worthwhile standard league starting options, I'd say that Theo Johnson is maybe worth sitting. His matchup is pretty good against the Packers, but after all the changes the Giants underwent this week, it could lead to a poor offensive showing for the tight end Johnson.

Daniel: Easy answer? Chig Okonkwo of the Titans, who has a brutal matchup against the Texans. He's not much of a fantasy player, though, so the more fun name is Travis Kelce. The Broncos have given up the fourth-fewest yards per pass attempt and the eighth-fewest fantasy points per game to tight ends, and they held Brock Bowers to one catch and 31 yards last week. Kelce is a tough guy to bench, but things are pointing toward a slow week if he doesn't find the end zone.

Who will be the fantasy MVP of Week 11?

Morgan: Give me Trey McBride this week. He's already the top Cardinals' pass catcher, and down Marvin Harrison this week, McBride could post a monster fantasy outing. Hopefully you aren't facing him like I am in a couple leagues because I don't know how McBride doesn't star in Week 11.

Daniel: I talked about Minnesota's Addison, but what about that star teammate I also mentioned? The Bears are as bad as anyone at stopping the pass, and Justin Jefferson has the chance for a big day if the Vikings can get their passing game going. Jefferson caught four passes for 44 yards and a touchdown in Week 1 against Chicago.
