Week 11 Fantasy Football Streamers for Each Position

Heading into Week 11, the playoffs are nearing closer and closer, and we are entering the stage where the bye weeks are extremely tough to navigate. This week, we have four byes once again (Buccaneers, Cardinals, Giants, and Panthers). Teams on a bye can always throw a wrench in putting together your weekly roster and some key injuries that may be hindering your lineup. As a reminder, to qualify as a streamer, the players we will look at are owned and started in less than 50% of leagues (using ESPN percentages). As is customary, we hope this article can assist you in making those tough spot-start decisions when trying to fill a void for the week.

QB Streamer: Tua Tagovailoa MIA

Although the fantasy season for the Miami Dolphins as a whole has been underwhelming, the weapons they have on offense still have the potential to be extremely explosive, especially in a good matchup. Tua Tagovailoa played well for the most part against the LA Rams last week, but a couple of turnovers resulted in a lackluster fantasy outing. This week, the Dolphins matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders, who are allowing the eighth most fantasy points to the quarterback position this season. As long as Tyreek Hill is on the field and Tua can stay healthy, he poses as a very viable streamer in a good matchup for Week 11.

Honorable Mention: Russell Wilson PIT

RB Streamer: Audric Estime DEN

Denver Broncos rookie running back Audric Estime burst onto the scene in Week 10 against the Kansas City Chiefs, where he saw 14 carries for 53 yards. The volume was nice to see, but it was not even what I would consider the important part of this situation. Running back Javonte Williams only had one singular carry in the game, as it looks like the Broncos are shifting their focus toward Estime for the remainder of the season. This young team is trying to get their new guys involved more, as they relied on the fifth-round rookie in an almost upset over the Chiefs in Week 10. Estime is a great stream this week and could very well be the starter for the rest of the season in Denver. I would look to pick him up in any league he is available, considering he might be a starter sitting on the waivers.

Honorable Mention: Gus Edwards LAC

WR Streamer: Ricky Pearsall SF

Our honorable mention from last week is going to get the spotlight this time around after he had a very promising showing. First-round rookie wide receiver Ricky Pearsall is quickly getting acclimated to the pace of the NFL, after he had to miss the first six weeks due to being victim to a gunshot wound before the season began. Every week since his debut, he has taken great strides in Kyle Shanahan’s dynamic offense. In Week 10 he posted 4 receptions for 73 yards and a touchdown, easily his best fantasy output thus far. The rookie receiver’s opportunities will only increase as he gets more games under his belt. With Brandon Aiyuk out for the season and Brock Purdy’s willingness to pepper everyone with targets, Pearsall is a great flex play if you are looking for a stream in Week 11.

Honorable Mention: Adonai Mitchell IND

TE Streamer: Mike Gesicki CIN

Although he had a dissatisfying performance in the Thursday Night Football game, Mike Gesicki has still gotten a huge bump in volume with the absence of Tee Higgins. Even though it did not translate into a solid fantasy output, Gesicki’s 9 targets are exactly what we are looking for in a tight-end stream. The market for tight ends in Fantasy Football is practically slim to none, so when you can throw in a player that you know has a role in a high-powered offense, you do it.

Honorable Mention: Will Dissly LAC

K Streamer: Jason Myers SEA

Jason Myers is a kicker that should be available in almost every one of your leagues, considering the Seahawks are coming off of a bye week. Seattle finds themselves in a high-scoring matchup against the San Francisco 49ers, where both teams are finally going to feel healthy on offense. The Seahawks should be able to keep pace with the 49ers, as they expect star receiver DK Metcalf to be returning from injury. This should provide Myers with enough opportunities to be a feasible streaming option for kickers in Week 11.

Honorable Mention: Jake Bates DET

D/ST Streamer: Green Bay Packers D/ST

Following the same logic as we did last week (because it worked out quite well), we are looking at the Packers D/ST this week. The Packers are coming off of a bye week, where they should be relatively well-rested and ready to go for this rivalry matchup against a suffering Chicago Bears team. Green Bay’s defense has been stout all year, and now they find themselves in an excellent matchup against the Bears– who have allowed 18 sacks during their 3-game skid (9 sacks allowed in Week 10).

Honorable Mention: Houston Texans D/ST
