NFL: Top 10 Fantasy Wide Receivers for Week 11

Finally, the NFL is at full strength, featuring tremendous depth at the wide receiver position. Draft position is vital this week; if you have late position, these receivers are a must in the first and early second rounds.

If you have early draft position, and the owners know what they’re doing, you may not get the opportunity to draft any of these top ten.

Draft well!

Steve Smith

Don’t you just love it when one of your favorite receivers gets a team like the Detroit Lions and their 29th-ranked pass defense? What makes Smith so promising this week is he could breakout and possibly have one of his phenomenal games. Projected Points-22

 

Reggie Wayne

Wayne’s season-best is 17 fantasy points, but it appears as though the Colts are back and headed in the right direction. This could the week Wayne has one of his multi-touchdown games. Projected Points-20

 

Marques Colston

Despite not catching a touchdown pass last week, Brees’ favorite target has returned. The Saints play the Chiefs this week, and Colston is due for at least one touchdown. Projected Points-19

 

Lee Evans

As an owner, anytime you have the opportunity to draft a receiver that plays the Browns (especially on MNF), anticipate a big game. Evans isn’t the best in the league, and he doesn’t have a prolific passer in Trent Edwards, but he does remain in the top 10 amongst fantasy receivers and is an excellent pick for this week. Projected Points-19

 

Anquan Boldin

There are two words that come to mind when describing Anquan Boldin: toughness and tenacity. As a result, Kurt Warner continues to reward him with touchdown throws.  Boldin is averaging an NFL-best 18 fantasy points per week. Projected Points-18

 

Brandon Marshall

With the Broncos not showing any progress in their running game, Marshall’s stock should continue to rise as your first receiver option. Atlanta’s pass defense has improved, but it still ranks among the bottom 10 in the NFL. Projected Points-18

 

Roddy White

We all know that the Broncos leave a lot to be desired when trying to defend the pass, and Roddy White has gradually crept his way up the list as a top receiver in this league. The Broncos have allowed 14 touchdown receptions while forcing only three interceptions this season. Projected Points-17

 

Greg Jennings

Jennings has fallen way down the list of fantasy receiving options, but the Packers do host the Bears, who rank 30th in the league in pass defense. This week Green Bay will be forced into many passing opportunities. Projected Points-16

 

Calvin Johnson

With his big play ability, it’s difficult leaving Johnson off of any top 10 list. The Panthers' defense will bend a little, and Johnson will be the beneficiary. Projected Points-16

 

Larry Fitzgerald

Like I mentioned last week, “he’s steadily consistent”. With Warner at the helm, anything big can happen with Fitzgerald. Projected Points-15
