Fantasy Football Sleepers
Lesser-rostered players who can make an impact this week or later in the season. Whether you’re looking for a player to beat your league to on the waiver wire or someone to insert into your lineup this week, I’ve got you covered. Players to stream. Players to stash. Your Fantasy Football Sleepers for Week 11
(NOTE: All Players are Available in 70% of Leagues or More.)
Quarterbacks
Drake Maye – New England Patriots (14%)
Maye is somehow still widely available. Is this week’s matchup against the NY Jets difficult? Sure, but Maye’s upside makes him worth rostering.
Daniel Jones/Drew Lock – New York Giants (13%)/ (1%)
Whoever the Giants’ starter is after their bye week has some terrific matchups ahead. Lock should be scooped up in Superflex leagues—especially by Jones managers as insurance.
Jameis Winston – Cleveland (11%)
Winston is a locked-in Superflex starter.
Fantasy managers are hoping for more performances like his Week 8 outing against Baltimore (3 TD passes) and fewer like Week 9 against Los Angeles.
Will Levis – Tennessee (9%)
Levis is back on fantasy radars after an impressive Week 10 game against the Chargers. He passed for two TDs and added 41 rushing yards. Calvin Ridley is emerging as a primary weapon in the offense.
Running Backs
Trey Benson – Arizona Cardinals (20%)
Stop what you’re doing and add Benson if he’s still available in your league. He has finished as a low-end RB2 in back-to-back weeks, posting double-digit PPR points in both. His usage is trending up, and he’s building momentum toward the fantasy playoffs, with value that should carry into the 2025 season. He’s a handcuff-plus moving forward.
Gus Edwards – LA Chargers (26%)
Edwards had 10 rushing attempts on only 15 snaps, signaling a potential committee backfield—something Dobbins’ managers won’t like. Edwards saw more action than Kimani Vidal has had in any game this season, and the rookie was inactive this week. Look for LA to lean even more on their running game as they aim to keep Joe Burrow and the explosive Bengals offense off the field. Edwards is an RB3 and a solid bye-week fill-in.
Ray Davis – Buffalo (24%)
Davis is one of the most valuable handcuffs in football, scoring double-digit PPR points in three of his last five games.
Cam Akers – Minnesota (17%)
Akers filled in admirably for Aaron Jones last week. While Jones is likely to play, Akers remains a must-roster handcuff moving forward. Jones has been incredibly durable this season, but at age 29 and dealing with multiple knocks, Akers’ value is undeniable.
Jaylen Wright – Miami (6%)
It seems to be a matter of when, not if, Wright takes over for Raheem Mostert. Mostert has been boxed out of rushing attempts by De’Von Achane and Wright, and last week he logged 0 rush attempts.
Wright has the juice, although his production last week was disappointing. Stash him now.
Keaton Mitchell – Baltimore (5%)
Don’t be surprised if Mitchell overtakes Justice Hill in the RB2 pecking order. Using Mitchell could make Baltimore’s offense even more explosive.
Blake Corum – LA Rams (16%)
Corum is one of the most valuable handcuffs to roster. He’s a true lottery ticket who could deliver significant value if Kyren Williams misses time.
Roschon Johnson – Chicago (8%)
Johnson is the clear handcuff to D’Andre Swift. He’d likely see similar usage to Swift if an injury occurs.
Khalil Herbert – Cincinnati (17%)
Herbert is the handcuff behind the red-hot Chase Brown. The Bengals may also work Herbert in more this week to lighten Brown’s load.
Dameon Pierce – Houston (1%)
Pierce is the handcuff to Joe Mixon. He’s back this week after missing two games, making him a solid stash.
Wide Receivers
Demarcus Robinson – LA Rams (30%)
A TD-or-bust spot start or bye-week fill-in. Robinson scored four TDs combined in Weeks 8 and 9.
Xavier Legette – Carolina Panthers (29%)
Legette is expected to be a full-time wideout for the rest of the season after Carolina’s bye week. He can be a rest-of-season WR4.
Adonai Mitchell – Indianapolis (7%)
Fantasy managers didn’t add Mitchell as often as they should have this past week. In Week 10, Mitchell broke out with six catches on six targets.
He is the de facto Michael Pittman Jr. replacement. Even with Anthony Richardson now under center, I want as many Mitchell shares as possible on my rosters.
Demario Douglas – New England (27%)
Douglas has 14 targets and 11 catches over his last two games. He’s a floor-play slot option but keep expectations in check—he’s had only two games with double-digit PPR points.
Mike Williams – Pittsburgh (20%)
Williams played only nine snaps and had just one target, but he scored the game-winning TD on a late fourth-quarter pass from Russell Wilson. Expect his usage to trend upward.
Alec Pierce – Indianapolis (20%)
Starting Pierce is like driving a Harley 105 mph on a rainy highway—a lot can go wrong, but it’s exciting. The big-play threat has matched his career high with four TD catches, including one in garbage time last week. Anthony Richardson has connected with Pierce on two TD passes this season.
Marquez Valdes-Scantling – New Orleans (24%)
MVS got loose for two big TDs in Week 10. I wish someone had recommended him as a Sleeper—oh wait, I did (Fantasy Sleepers Week 10: Must Stash Players – Deep Sleepers). It’ll be difficult for lightning to strike twice, but MVS should get a downfield shot or two.
Ray-Ray McCloud – Atlanta (17%)
McCloud is a valuable stash for deep leaguers and WR-heavy formats like the FFWC or NFFC. If Darnell Mooney, Drake London, or even Kyle Pitts were to miss time, McCloud could have contingent value.
Darius Slayton – New York Giants (11%)
Slayton is a sneaky addition for deep leaguers. The Giants have favorable matchups (Baltimore in Week 15 and Atlanta in Week 16) where a desperate manager could consider starting him.
Elijah Moore – Cleveland (8%)
Moore has been targeted 27 times over his last three games, catching 17 of those passes. He’s seeing extensive usage in the slot and could be a solid PPR option.
John Metchie – Houston (4%)
Metchie had his best game as a pro last week, finishing with five catches for 74 yards and a TD.
While Nico Collins‘ return could limit his role, Metchie is worth stashing to see if his usage remains consistent.
Tight Ends
Will Dissly – LA Chargers (16%)
Dissly led LA in catches and targets last week, and his role has expanded as the season has progressed. He is the TE17 since Week 7 and now faces a generous Bengals defense that ranks among the league’s worst against opposing TEs.
Dawson Knox – Buffalo (10%)
Knox is one of my favorite streamers this week. He will see near full-time usage with Dalton Kincaid set to miss time. Knox has 40+ receiving yards in two of his last three games.
Ja’Tavion Sanders – Carolina (2%)
Sanders is trending up and makes for a great stash. He scored his first TD recently and could have a growing role in the offense.
Theo Johnson – New York (6%)
Johnson has been targeted six times in back-to-back games. In Week 12, the Giants face off against the Buccaneers—a bottom-three defense against TEs.
