Fantasy Risers After Week 11 📈

Michael Wilson:

Wilson was nothing short of elite this week, and many fantasy managers are excited by what they saw. It is very possible that Marvin Harrison Jr. misses more time, and if that is the case, Wilson would be in line for another great start in Week 12 against the Jaguars.

Sean Tucker: 

The Bucs’ young running back was electric this week, and he caught just as many passes as Rachaad White, which is a massive development. With Bucky Irving’s questionable timetable to return, Tucker needs to remain rostered. .

Tetairoa McMillan:

The rookie wideout was dominant against an excellent Falcons secondary. It was the best game of his short career, and it is likely going to be a sign of things to come for the former Wildcat. He has a matchup with San Francisco next week, a team allowed big volume days to Michael Wilson and Greg Dortch.

Travis Etienne Jr.:

Etienne has quietly seen a gigantic workload across his last three games, and he has been a top-13 RB in each of them. His next two matchups are with Arizona and Tennessee, and he will rank very highly in the WalterPicks app in each of them.

Fantasy Fallers After Week 11 📉

Justin Jefferson:

If you were to simply look at Jefferson’s target numbers, you would be incredibly pleased. However, so many of these are uncompetitive throws. “Nine” is struggling to be an effective QB, and it gives Justin Jefferson a much lower ceiling. The WR has lots of great matchups remaining this season, but it is hard to be super confident in him with his current QB situation.

Oronde Gadsden II:

Ever since his epic two-game span, Gadsden’s targets and receptions have steadily decreased. He is now heading into the bye, and the next five week are all grueling fantasy matchups for opposing tight ends. It may be time to try and cut bait on the rookie before the fantasy trade deadline.

Quentin Johnston:

QJ has been disappointing in four of his last six games, scoring zero in two of them. He is impossible to trust at this point. You cannot and should not start him moving forward.

Tony Pollard:

Tony Pollard, at this juncture, is rostered in far too many leagues. He has been at 7.3 PPR points or less in four of his last five games. He can and should be dropped with horrendous matchups ahead with Seattle, Jacksonville, and Cleveland.

Add/Drop/Trade Candidates

TRADE FOR Aaron Jones:

Jones has not had a crazy performance, but he has been serviceable, and his schedule in Weeks 14-16 is incredible. Try trading for the Vikings RB before the trade deadline.

TRADE AWAY Kenneth Walker:

Kenneth Walker had a great game this week, but we recommend seeing what kind of offer you can get for him. He had 44 receiving yards, which is uncommon for him, and he has tough matchups with the Colts and Cardinals in the fantasy playoffs.

ADD Emmanuel Wilson:

With Jacobs banged up, Wilson could quickly find a larger role. He is a no-brainer pick up this week.

DROP Jacory Croskey-Merritt:

Bill is rostered in way too many leagues. He is not startable, and he is not someone worth rostering. He has fallen under 6 PPR points in six consecutive games…
