Fantasy Football: Week Eleven Staff Must Start, Must Sit and Sleeper Picks

Connor Wilcoxen

START: Martavis Bryant, WR – Pittsburgh Steelers

Martavis Bryant is a real candidate for the offensive rookie of the year award, and he hasn’t even played the whole season. He has scored six touchdowns in four games, and has proven to be one of Ben Roethlisberger’s most valuable weapons. Plus, the Steelers play the Tennessee Titans, so big Ben should have no problem throwing the ball to Bryant. All fantasy owners need to pick up Martavis Bryant and start him this week.

SIT: Larry Donnell, TE – New York Giants

Larry Donnell is an example of a player that has one outbreak game and every fantasy owner hops on the waiver wires to pick him up. Well, it’s time to jump ship and get a new tight end if you own Donnell. He has only had one touchdown over the past five games, and he has never had a game with over 100 receiving yards. He also plays for the New York Giants, one of the worst teams in the NFL with one of the worst quarterbacks in the league right now. Therefore, any fantasy owners with Donnell should sit him until he proves himself.

SLEEPER: Jordan Matthews, WR – Philadelphia Eagles

The Eagles are still a good team even with Mark Sanchez as their starting quarterback, so don’t drop all the Eagles’ receivers you have just yet. In fact, pick up Jordan Matthews and start him this week if you can. Over the past two games Matthews has 178 receiving yards and three touchdowns, and his stock is going up. Sanchez clearly likes to throw to Matthews, and Matthews has no problem catching the ball and making something happen. Plus, the Eagles play the Packers so Sanchez will need to throw to keep up with the score. If Jordan Matthews had done more early in the season he would be a must start, but for now he’s my sleeper pick for week 11.
