Week 11 Fantasy Rankings: Ranking the Top WRs

Let's take a look at the top five fantasy football receivers for Week 11 of the NFL season: 

1. Calvin Johnson, Lions

Sunday was Johnson's "worst" game of the season, but he still caught seven passes for 81 yards. That's a testament to the kind of the season he is currently having.

While the Panthers are currently having a decent year against opposing receivers (ranked No. 6 in NFL), Johnson is still the best bet to have a monster Week 11 performance. 

2. Brandon Marshall, Dolphins

Marshall gets the jump up to No. 2 on our list for a couple of reasons. To start, he's seeing the ball plenty with Matt Moore at quarterback. In five Moore starts, Marshall is averaging almost 10 targets a game. To sweeten the pot even more, Marshall is facing the Bills' 26th-ranked fantasy defense against receivers on Sunday.

Last week in Dallas, the Bills gave up three scores to receivers. Sunday could shape up as Marshall's best stat line of the 2011 season. 

3. Greg Jennings, Packers

The Vikings did an admirable job of keeping the catches and yards low (three for 32), but Jennings still got himself another a score to take his tally to seven on the season. He'll like his matchup this week against the Buccaneers, too.

In two career games against Tampa Bay, Jennings has averaged 85 yards and a score. The Bucs have also struggled at times to stop receivers this season (No. 21 against opposing receivers).

4. Wes Welker, Patriots

In three of his past four games, Welker has caught six passes for under 50 yards. During that same stretch, Welker has just one touchdown.

Are teams figuring him out? Maybe. However, we don't see a cover guy on the Chiefs roster who can consistently keep Welker down like in previous weeks.

He'll get back to more early 2011 numbers on Monday night.

5. Larry Fitzgerald, Cardinals

I'm sure there were plenty who wondered what was going to happen to Fitzgerald's fantasy value when John Skelton was forced under center. However, those worries have been laid to rest in a hurry. In fact, the past two weeks have been arguably the most productive two-game stretch we've seen out of Fitzgerald (11 catches, 189 yards, 3 TDs).

Don't worry about the matchup, either. The 49ers defense can be thrown on.
