Fantasy Football: Week 11 Streamers To Consider
We have reached Week 11! Only four weeks remain in the regular fantasy football season for most leagues. And as time passes, the injuries keep piling up. That’s why you have to stay active to keep racking up wins and cement your place in the championship chase.
As every week, this article offers some viable streamers for your QB, K, DST, and TE positions, to help you squeeze as many points as possible from these roster spots and improve your odds of securing the win. This week, only the Indianapolis Colts and New Orleans Saints are on bye, so you are probably not desperate for streamers, but it’s still worth evaluating if there is someone with a better matchup than your current starter.
And don’t forget to check Andy, Mike, and Jason’s weekly rankings and the Fantasy Footballers’ Ultimate Dashboard if you need help choosing between options or want recommendations tailored to your specific roster.
Let’s look at this week’s streamers.
Quarterbacks
Geno Smith – Las Vegas Raiders (16% rostered)
He hasn’t been the most consistent this year, but he’s been very serviceable as a streamer in the right matchups, like two weeks ago against the Jacksonville Jaguars, where he passed for 284 yards and four TDs. Now he faces the Dallas Cowboys, who have allowed the most fantasy points per game to opposing QBs. Smith suffered a quad contusion last week, but it looks like he will be healthy enough to start. If so, he should be able to air the ball out in this excellent matchup.
Aaron Rodgers – Pittsburgh Steelers (46% rostered)
Last week was particularly rough for Rodgers and the Steelers. But he’s actually had a decent season overall. This week, he has a great setup for a bounce‑back when he faces the Cincinnati Bengals defense, which has allowed more than 22 fantasy points per game to QBs. Since Joe Flacco joined the Bengals, they’ve been locked into shootouts. And that is always good news for fantasy.
Joe Flacco – Cincinnati Bengals (53% rostered)
Speaking of that Bengals vs. Steelers potential shootout, Flacco should also be a very valuable streamer this week. He’s coming off the bye week, and the Steelers’ passing defense has been shaky this season. They have allowed the most yards on average to QBs. Joe Burrow’s return is getting close, but for now, we still get to count on Flacco in our fantasy lineups.
Kickers
Evan McPherson – Cincinnati Bengals (19% rostered)
As I mentioned earlier, the Bengals under Flacco are in high‑scoring potential matchups thanks to a decent offense and a weak defense. McPherson is widely available after the team’s bye week, and this game against the Steelers has the second‑highest over/under of the week. There should be plenty of kicking opportunities for this accurate kicker.
Daniel Carlson – Las Vegas Raiders (6% rostered)
Not so long ago, Carlson was one of fantasy’s top kickers. The Raiders haven’t been a high‑scoring offense this season, but this week they face the Cowboys in what Vegas projects to be the week’s highest‑scoring game. The Raiders are underdogs by only 3.5 points, so Carlson should be considered a viable streaming option here.
Will Reichard – Minnesota Vikings (40% rostered)
Not as widely available as the others, but Reichard is still available in the majority of leagues and has a very interesting matchup this week against the Chicago Bears. The Vikings are 3.5‑point favorites in a game with a 48.5 over/under. This should be a fun, high-scoring game, and that is always good news for kickers.
Defense & Special Teams
Atlanta Falcons (10% rostered)
The Falcons have been pretty unpredictable this year. They’ve been tough against some good offenses and weak against others. But here’s the opportunity: they’re available in most leagues, and they have three straight favorable matchups: the Panthers this week, followed by the Saints and Jets. If you want a D/ST you can feel comfortable with for a few weeks, this is your chance.
Houston Texans (75% rostered)
This DST is only available in 25% of leagues, but they are still worth highlighting if you can grab them. They face the Tennessee Titans, who are back from their bye week and whose rookie QB Cam Ward should be mentally prepared to be sacked multiple times, as he’s been all season. The Texans have shown they can defend, and there is even a path for them to be the week’s best DST.
Baltimore Ravens (48% rostered)
The Ravens’ defense has not been good this season. But this week they face the Cleveland Browns, whose offense has scored among the fewest points per game this season (only better than the Titans and Saints). Since the rookie QB Dillon Gabriel debuted, the Browns’ offense has really struggled. The Ravens’ DST should be a fine streaming option this week.
BONUS: Tight End
Pat Freiermuth – Pittsburgh Steelers (11% rostered)
Streaming TEs against the Bengals has been a pretty solid strategy this season. The tough decision this week is choosing between Freiermuth and Jonnu Smith. Both have had their moments, but predicting how coach Arthur Smith will use them can be tricky. But this matchup fits Freiermuth’s role, and there is a good chance the MUTH gets LUTH this week.
