Wide Receiver Outlook Week 11

Tee Higgins (WR15) may have floated to the back of fantasy owners’ minds due to a bye in Week 9. However, he quickly reminded said owners of his startability in Week 10, racking up 22.5 points and finishing as the ninth-highest scoring player at his position. Higgins has been phenomenal of late, averaging six receptions and 97.25 yards over his last four games. Since Week 6, only six wideouts have averaged more than Higgins’ 18.6 ppg. Washington has been stout against the pass, for the most part, this season, but has surrendered a receiving TD or 80-plus yards to an opposing wideout in five consecutive games.

Questions of how Antonio Brown (WR25) would fit in Tampa Bay’s loaded receiving corps are no more. While he’s played just 39 snaps in each of his two games with the Bucs, Brown has also been targeted 13 times over that span (2nd-most among all TB pass-catchers). Tom Brady is clearly comfortable throwing to A.B. and the wideout should continue to see his role increase moving forward. Brown gets a Rams defense who’s has allowed three of their four receiving TDs to WRs this season over their past four games.

Michael Pittman Jr. (WR40) rewarded us for his sleeper nomination a week ago, posting career-highs in targets (8), receptions (7) and yards (101). He’s clearly asserting himself as the team’s preferred top-target in the passing game. However, opposing WRs rank within the bottom-10 in the NFL in targets, receptions and yards when facing off against the Packers.

Speaking of the Packers, Marquez Valdes-Scantling (WR48), has become well acquainted with the endzone of late, scoring three TDs over his last two games. Still, he’s difficult to buy into. Especially when he’s only recorded six total receptions over that span and has failed to top four receptions in any game this season. MVS is a boom or bust play in what is a difficult matchup against an Indy defense that allows the sixth-fewest fantasy points to WRs.
