Fantasy Football Week 11: Maurice Morris and More Awesome Flex Options

It's crunch time in fantasy football leagues and that means every lineup choice could be the difference between storming into the playoffs or missing them all together. In order to help you out with some last-minute decisions, here are three potentially game-breaking options to consider.

RB Maurice Morris – Detroit Lions

Jahvid Best continues to struggle with a concussion and will miss Sunday's game against the Carolina Panthers. While Morris isn't as dynamic as Detroit's No. 1 back, he's scored 21 fantasy points over the last three weeks, which is good enough to warrant flex consideration.

Carolina's defense ranks dead last against opposing fantasy RBs, giving up at least 17 points in all but one game so far. Couple that with question marks surrounding Matthew Stafford's finger and Morris' workload should increase, leading to a big game.

Week 11 Projection: 14 fantasy points

WR Earl Bennett – Chicago Bears

After catching just three passes prior to Chicago's bye week, Bennett returned after it and has looked like the Bears' most dangerous receiver in back-to-back games. He's scored 23 points over that span and has seemingly become Jay Cutler's favorite target.

That hot streak should continue against a San Diego secondary that has struggled mightily since Week 7, when Mark Sanchez threw three touchdowns against them. Bennett has already been added in nearly a quarter of ESPN leagues this week, so don't miss the boat.

Week 11 Projection: 10 fantasy points

RB Kendall Hunter – San Francisco 49ers

Frank Gore is listed as questionable but the prevailing thought is that he'll suit up for San Francisco's game against Arizona. However, judging by how quickly the 49ers coaching staff pulled him out of last week's game, he'll likely be limited.

That opens the door for Hunter, who scored 10 points in relief against the Giants in Week 10. He should receive enough carries to be fantasy worthy again on Sunday and has the potential to become a huge asset down the stretch if San Francisco rests Gore for the playoffs.

Week 11 Projection: Nine fantasy points
