Zay Flowers, Davante Adams, Puka Nacua, DK Metcalf and Deebo Samuel join those pass rushers in my Top 10. Calvin Ridley and Quentin Johnston join Pickens and Sutton as my four must-start players.

Those who have Tee Higgins, Michael Pittman Jr. and other players with injuries should monitor their status before including them in the starting lineups.

Players from the Arizona Cardinals, Carolina Panthers, New York Giants, and Tampa Bay Buccaneers who are on the roster should be benched or potentially released.

Players will also be removed or adjusted in the rankings based on injuries. My article on free agent targets for Week 11 is available here.

George Pickens

Pickens found the end zone for the second time in three weeks in the Pittsburgh Steelers’ Week 10 win over the Washington Commanders. He totaled five catches for 91 yards for his third straight game with at least 74 receiving yards.

This week, Pickens and the Steelers will host a Baltimore Ravens team that has allowed the most fantasy points, receiving yards (199.2) and receiving grades (1.6) per game to wide receivers through 10 weeks.

They also gave up 264 yards and three scores to Ja’Marr Chase in Week 10, 122 yards to Courtland Sutton in Week 9 and 99 yards and two scores to Cedric Tillman in Week 8.

Pickens is the WR1 in this juicy matchup. It is in 5th place on my list.

Courtland Sutton

Sutton is the 13th player on my Week 11 receiver rankings. The Denver Broncos veteran entered Week 10 with two straight 100-yard performances. Then he found the end zone for the third time this season in the Broncos’ close loss to the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday in Kansas City, Mo.

Sutton and the Broncos will now face an Atlanta Falcons defense that has allowed the ninth most fantasy points per game to wide receivers so far this season. They also surrendered 109 yards and two touchdowns to Marquez Valdes-Scantling in Week 10.

Sutton’s 30 targets over the last three weeks is a testament to his increased involvement in the Broncos’ offense. He’s firmly on the low-end WR1/high-end WR2 radar for this matchup.

Calvin Ridley

Ridley, who got off to a glacially slow start this season, was third in fantasy football in Week 10 with five catches for 84 yards and two scores.

The Tennessee Titans target had 10 catches for 143 yards in Week 8 and caught five more passes for 73 yards in Week 9.

Ridley and the Titans will host the Minnesota Vikings this week. The Vikings did well against Indianapolis Colts wide receivers in Week 10, but were one of the most generous defenses against opposing wide receivers in the first half of the season, surrendering the second-most sacks (14.7) and third-most receiving yards (178) and fantasy points per game per position.

Ridley, my No. 15 player, should eclipse 75 receiving yards in this favorable matchup against a vulnerable secondary.

Quentin Johnston

Johnston, who was among my top waiver targets in Week 11, can be included as a risk reward WR3. The Los Angeles Chargers pass catcher doesn’t earn a ton of targets, but he continues to find the end zone — with five touchdowns in seven games.

The Chargers are set to host a Cincinnati Bengals defense that allowed three Baltimore Ravens wide receivers to score touchdowns in Week 10. They also gave up 105 yards to Jakobi Meyers in Week 9.

For the season, the Bengals have allowed the 10th most receiving yards (150.5) per game to opposing wide receivers. Look for Johnston, my No. 1 player. 27 to get more red-zone targets than Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert in what I expect to be a high-profile meeting.
