Week 11 Fantasy Football Start 'Em Sit 'Em Flex picks ft. Tyler Lockett, RJ Harvey and more

If you’re like most, your fantasy football team is desperate for a Week 11 win. Luckily, we only have to navigate two teams on BYE, but injuries and rosters that have imploded aren’t helping much.

With my start/sit options I’ll try to find some plays that could be available on many waiver wires. Really, every week you should be combing the free agent list to see if someone of value was dropped or a new star is emerging. This time of year I see so many owners just setting a lineup and mailing it in. That’s not how you win. The player who hustles, wins.

Week 11 starts:

Tyler Lockett (WR) LV: I never thought I would be recommending 33-year-old Lockett this season, but here we are. It’s not as crazy as you might think. In his first game as a Raider, the veteran reciever was an intregal part of the passing game. Shockingly, Lockett saw a team high six targets and caught five for 44 yards. This is a team desperate for weapons along side Brock Bowers. Maybe Pete Carroll’s old pal from Seattle is just the answer they were looking for. Lockett’s 22.2% target share led the team and could grow this week against a horrific Cowboys secondary allowing the second-most points to opposing receivers. He’s likely available on your waiver wire and ready to get plugged into your lineup.

Cade Otton (TE) TB: You guys know I always tout fantasy points allowed. Sometimes even in a tough matchup, you’ve gotta lean into someone with a great role. That’s what we have with Bucs tight end Cade Otton. He’ll face a Bills defense who allows the fewest fantasy points to opposing tight ends. Only Travis Kelce (you might have heard of him), has scored of 8 PPR points versus the Bills. In Otton you get a player who has scored double-digit fantasy points in four of his last five games and in those contests saw a total 39 targets. Otton is a great plug and play option and likely you just keep him as your tight end going forward.

Woody Marks (RB) HOU: Somehow Marks is still available in over 25% of Yahoo leagues. The rookie back shouldn’t just be owned, he’s and every week starter. Last week, Marks put a stranglehold on the Houston lead running back role with 14/63/1 on the ground. His 78% snap share is impressive and not to be outdone by his 14 attempts to Nick Chubbs’ five. Head coach DeMeco Ryans was on a local radio show this week talking about how Marks is no longer a rookie and will handle a heavy load. Fire him up against the Titans and never look back. Tennessee allows the fourth most fantasy points to running backs.

RJ Harvey (RB) DEN: If you own Harvey this is just your reminder to start him even in a tough matchup against the Chiefs. I know that Sean Payton likes to screw around and play mulitple backs, but Harvey is super talented. If he gets 60% of the Broncos snaps, especially those on passing downs, he should come through for fantasy. Since Week 8, Harvey has averaged over 12 routes per game. If he can do that along with 10 carries, he has a great chance at deliver 15 PPR points.

Week 11 sits:

Kenneth Walker III (RB) SEA: I could write this blurb every week, but it really rings true this week as Walker faces a brutal matchup the Rams. It’s a shame because in the preseason Walker was a draft darling that everyone was targeting in round three. Now, he’s almost unusable thanks to his near even split with Zach Charbonnet. The real issue with Walker is his lack of usage around the goal line and almost no hurry-up offense snaps. If you aren’t on the field when your team is running goal line plays, what good are you for fantasy? Walker has just five total rushes inside the five all season. Charbonnet has ten. I’m not touching Walker against a Rams team who hasn’t allowed a rusher oer 45 yards since Derrick Henry in Week 6. King Henry is the only back on the entire season to break 100 yards on Los Angeles.

Deebo Samuel (WR) WAS: Even in a matchup against the Dolphins where Terry McLaurin is out, I can’t recommend Samuel. This offense is horrendous. Marcus Mariota at quarterback has torpedoed this attack. Samuel for his part hasn’t topped 100 yards on the season. His late touchdown last week somewhat saved his week against Detroit. This week in Spain, Samuel faces a Miami defense that is surprisingly good against the pass. Samuel is a touchdown or bust play as the yardage simply isn’t there anymore. Forget what we used to get from Samuel as a runner too. His highest yardage total on the season was 19 all the way back in Week 1. It’s over for Samuel.

T.J. Hockenson (TE) MIN: It’s been a brutal season for Hockenson managers. The entire Vikinigs offense has been in shambles, but Hockenson has really felt the brunt of the weight cast by J.J. McCarthy under center. Hockenson has only caught six passes over his last three games. In that three game span Hockenson has fallen behind Jalen Nailor in terms of targets. The emergence of Aaron Jones has cut up the target pie even more. All that said, it’s an offense that doesn’t want to throw ball and has too many weapons. While the Bears aren’t a terrible matchup for tight ends, I have no faith that Hockenson will see enough targets to do any damage. Add Otton who I mentioned earlier.
