Trade Targets for Week 11 (Fantasy Football)
Happy TreVeyon Henderson Liberation Week!! WOOO!! Man, was it ever good to see TreVeyon come through with a big game this week. And there was much rejoicing.
This late in the season, it is not uncommon to see the last remaining healthy players start to get dinged up. There were a lot of notable injuries in Week 10, but hopefully not as many season-enders as we’ve had in the last few weeks. Injuries to fantasy starters Jaxson Dart, Garrett Wilson (re-injured), J.K. Dobbins, Davante Adams, Oronde Gadsden II, and Dalton Kincaid remind us of the importance of having depth at every position.
Every week, I look back at my previous predictions throughout the season, and I rate my recommendations as “Good,” “Bad,” “Mixed,” or “Injured.” I believe it is important to own it when you get things wrong, and I’ve definitely had some bad whiffs (selling Javonte Williams and George Pickens come to mind…). Maybe I will publish a review at the end of the season.
I fear Emeka Egbuka is going to be another bad call on my part. The analysis/concern at the time was that he was dealing with a nagging injury, and the WR room was about to get a lot more crowded, with the imminent returns of Chris Godwin and Jalen McMillan. Turns out, the bye week seemed to be just what the doctor ordered for Egbuka, and now we are hearing that Godwin won’t be back until possibly December, and McMillan may not be back at all this year.
If you held on to Egbuka, he looked like early-season Egbuka and rewarded you this week. I think he is going to finish the year strong. If you traded him away, I hope you at least got some valuable pieces who have similarly helped you. I won’t include him below, but I also like Tez Johnson a lot in this offense, and he looks to be a really nice #2 option right now!
Anyway, I’ve got some fresh names for you this week, so buckle up!
Players to Trade For
Marvin Harrison Jr.
He’s back! No, he’s not. No, maybe he is! The Cardinals’ move to “place Kyler Murray on IR” was pretty clearly a benching. In his absence, Jacoby Brissett has looked like a totally adequate backup, complete with some boneheaded turnovers. But one thing is for certain: he has hyper-targeted MHJ and Trey McBride (22 targets apiece over the last two games!), giving these budding superstars a full revival in fantasy circles.
Harrison has scored in each of the last two games, but his receiving production against Seattle was pretty putrid (just three catches for 33 yards on 12 targets). Seattle’s defense is quietly dominating this season, and I’m focusing more on the targets than the output on this one. With four straight good matchups coming up (SF, JAX, @TB, LAR), I think Marv is about to finally pay off. Fair warning: His playoff schedule is pretty rough, but we will cross that bridge when we get there.
Most targets in the last two games:
27 – Ja’Marr Chase
26 – Nico Collins
22 – Marvin Harrison Jr. 🤯 pic.twitter.com/zoqX612T0V— SleeperNFL (@SleeperNFL) November 10, 2025
Aaron Jones
Count me as one of those who feared Aaron Jones was just done once he got injured this year. But since his return, he has recaptured a firm hold on the Vikings’ backfield, and he has looked really good in the last two games. Against Baltimore, his snap share rose to 71%, much to the chagrin of the Jordan Mason truthers. Mason had the opportunity to steal this job while Jones was on IR, and he proved to be mostly ineffective.
Jones looks rejuvenated, as he is breaking off explosive plays, and his pass-catching prowess has been a really nice safety valve for the struggling J.J. McCarthy (12 targets in three games). He gets a juicy matchup against the Bears this week before two tough matchups against Green Bay and Seattle. But then Weeks 14-16 are against Washington, Dallas, and the Giants – three incredible matchups leading into your fantasy playoffs.
Aaron Jones almost did the two pumps celly then stopped himself 😂

Luther Burden III
It’s that time of year when the rookie stars finally start returning value. I’m not sure exactly when it’s going to happen for Burden; all I know is that when it does, he will be nearly unobtainable. I thought we were maybe starting to make some progress a few weeks ago, but a concussion took him out for a week. In his absence, fellow rookie Colston Loveland had his breakout. I think Ben Johnson would love to see both of these guys give Bears fans an optimistic glimpse into their future.
DJ Moore followed up his best game of the season with a goose egg this week, reminding us that he is not the future in Chicago. Rome Odunze had a nice bounce-back game this week (thanks, Dad!), and I think his role is fairly solidified (more on that later). The one we’ve been waiting to get out of the way is really Olamide Zaccheaus, and I think we got our window this week. Zaccheaus had three BAD drops this week, whereas Burden caught all three of his targets for 51 yards. I know I sound like a Twitter Bro, but I have been screaming it all year – get Burden the ball! Caleb Williams has a passer rating of 136.4 when targeting Burden (highest on the team), and he has only 22 fewer receiving yards than Zaccheaus (222 to 248) with half as many receptions (16 to 32). He’s going to be another one of those players who, once you’ve seen it, you won’t be able to put back in the box.

Players to Trade Away
D’Andre Swift & Kyle Monangai
I know everyone remembers my famous Week 8 Trade Targets article, in which I encouraged you to trade for Swift before Week 8 and trade him away before Week 11. Well, here we are. The Bears’ next six games are really rough for RBs, and it doesn’t help Swift’s case that rookie Kyle Monangai has officially been unleashed. Thankfully for Swift owners, D’Andre was reinstated as the lead back (62% snap share) upon returning from injury, but the matchups plus the increased competition lead me to want no part of this backfield moving forward.
I would shop Monangai as well, but I doubt you will get as much interest, given the snap share difference this week. I have really liked what I’ve seen out of Monangai; I’m just worried again about these matchups and the splits.
Rome Odunze
As I said before, I think Odunze is the X WR of the future for the Bears. I think once we see Loveland and Burden fully entrenched in the offense, we will see DJ Moore on another team. There are just too many other good playmakers to justify that salary, in my opinion. If they elect to keep all of these players, someone is bound to be upset every week. If DJ Moore is given the WR1 treatment by opposing defenses, my guess is he’s the one upset at the end of the game.
However, the remaining schedule isn’t great for Bears WRs. I know I recommended trading for Burden, but that is a bit different because 1) his price should be much lower than Moore or Odunze’s, so it’s a “buy” from a value standpoint, 2) I still stubbornly believe he is the best playmaker of the bunch, and 3) the schedule isn’t quite as daunting for slot WRs (the Vikings, Eagles, and Packers x2 are all top-15 in most yards given up to slot WRs this year). I think the ascendence of Loveland and Burden, coupled with a tougher schedule, and coming off a strong week, puts Odunze in the “sell” category.
Parker Washington
Washington is coming off two really nice fantasy outputs (13 points and 16.4 points in half-PPR scoring). In fact, it’s the best two-game fantasy total for any Jags WR this season. Woof. I think Washington is a nice player, but I don’t trust the Jags’ passing game, and there should be more target competition in the coming weeks.
For starters, the Jags just traded for Jakobi Meyers, who only played 44% of the snaps in Week 10. He caught all three of his targets and led the Jaguars with 41 yards after being with the team for less than a week. I expect his target share to grow at the expense of Washington’s. We also expect to see Brian Thomas Jr, Dyami Brown, and Brenton Strange, all return in the coming weeks. Once this receiving room is more healthy, Washington will be relegated to the fourth or fifth option at best. I’m “selling high” off these recent performances to a team that needs warm bodies for the next couple of weeks, and I am stashing my handcuff RB or trying to get Burden!
