WR Deebo Samuel

Deebo Samuel had a big outing on Monday Night Football with eight catches for 112 yards against the Seahawks. He’s facing the second-worst pass defense in the NFL this week in the Cardinals, so he’s good start even though he had an average game against them last time out. But further increasing his value is the potential that Emmanuel Sanders misses their game this week. Jimmy G could be looking the rookie’s way a lot.

WR John Brown

For who the Dolphins are, you’d expect them to be much worse than the No. 19 ranked pass defense in the league (244.9 yards allowed per game). John Brown is consistent for the Bills, but not really fantasy-wise. He’s got a good matchup against the Dolphins this week, one of the only two teams he’s scored against already this year. Buffalo is committed to making Josh Allen pass, and Brown could be the beneficiary.

Sits

QB Kyler Murray

The No. 1 overall pick’s skills in the air and on the ground have made him a tempting fantasy football option each week. Kyle Murray really isn’t one in Week 11, though. He’s up against the 49ers defense this week. That’s all you really need to say, if you watched that grouping at all this year, even doing well against potential MVP Russell Wilson last week.
