Week 11 is here. If you hate bye weeks, this is the last stand for those untimely roadblocks. If you hate injuries, hold your breath and keep an eye out on the waiver wire, because those guys just never go away. There are some juicy matchups to take note of, along with some under-the-radar sleeper options to monitor as the games draw near. With the fantasy playoffs in sight, we need our playmakers to deliver now more than ever. Here's a look at our week 11 wide receiver rankings.
Remember: an asterisk (*) next to a player's name denotes a possible injury concern for that player.
Week 11 Wide Receiver Rankings 1-10
1. Julio Jones vs IND- Atlanta has lost 3 of 4, but that hasn't slowed Julio down one bit. He's still averaging over 14 targets over that stretch and, coming off of a bye week, he'll be as healthy as he's been all season. He should see plenty of Vontae Davis, but the Colts' secondary has surrendered the 11th-most fantasy points to receivers this season as a unit, including seven 90-yard games.
2. DeAndre Hopkins vs NYJ- Posted a workmanlike 5-57-1 line as Houston overcame the Bengals in week 10, but was still peppered with 11 targets. Brian Hoyer may be iffy for week 11 with a concussion, but starting T.J. Yates under center won't make much of a difference one way or another. Hopkins is still going to see plenty of looks even with the likes of Darrelle Revis and Antonio Cromartie roaming the Jets' secondary.
3. A.J. Green @ ARI- Green will be looking to break out of a 2-game mini slump. His team will need him to be vintage A.J. if they are to bounce back from their first loss of the year with a tough trip to the desert on the docket for week 11. A.J. vs. Patrick Peterson should be a heck of a matchup on the perimeter.
4. Calvin Johnson vs OAK- Hasn't scored since week 7, but he's still posted at least 80 yards in 3 straight games after a 6/166/1 outburst in week 6. Good matchup against a secondary that is susceptible to big plays over the top.
5. Larry Fitzgerald vs CIN- Fitzy continues to dominate in 2015. Caught 10 of 15 targets for 130 yards as the Cards overcame the Seahawks on the road in week 10. John Brown and Michael Floyd are both hobbled with bad hamstrings, so Carson Palmer should be going to the Fitzy well time and time again in week 11.
6. Demaryius Thomas @ CHI- Bronco receivers are a bit of a dicey play this week without Peyton Manning, but Brock Osweiler has arm talent and showed that he was willing to look Demaryius Thomas' way in week 10. Thomas reeled in 6 of his 7 grabs after Manning's exit. Perhaps Osweiler's live arm can help Demaryius find the end zone again. If Denver wants to get their young quarterback's confidence up, some short, high-percentage throws could be in order, and Thomas is one of the best in the business at turning those low-risk plays into high rewards.
7. Alshon Jeffery* vs DEN- Game flow and a groin problem limited Jeffery to a human-like 3/23 line in week 10. He'll be healthier in week 11, and the Bears will likely be in a much closer battle with Denver. Both of those factors are conducive to Jeffery yielding top-10 output against the Broncos.
8. Brandon Marshall* @ HOU- Managed a touchdown to salvage what was an otherwise disappointing week 10 effort against Buffalo last Thursday. Marshall will take advantage of the extra days off to get right ahead of his team's visit to Houston. If Ryan Fitzpatrick (thumb) manages to play, Marshall should have a decent outlook against the Texans.
9. Dez Bryant @ MIA- It's sounding like Tony Romo is ready to return, which is obviously huge news for Dez. Expect him to be peppered with targets against a subpar Dolphins secondary. Even with Matt Cassel under center last week, Bryant still saw 12 targets. Romo has been practicing and throwing for a couple of weeks now, so any lingering rust should be shaken off early.
10. Michael Crabtree @ DET- We love Crabtree against the Lions in week 11. He's looked like Texas Tech Michael Crabtree this season, and both he and Amari Cooper could be in for nice days against a Detroit secondary that has surrendered the 6th-most points to receivers this year.

Week 11 Wide Receiver Sleepers
Danny Amendola vs BUF- Plug-and-play for Julian Edelman (foot) in New England's offense. If by chance he's on your league's waiver wire, scoop him up quick. Filled in nicely once Edelman left in week 10, finishing with 10 catches for 79 yards and did some major damage in the return game.
Kamar Aiken/Chris Givens vs STL- Aiken absorbed 14 targets in week 10 while Givens, who has become a favorite of the Baltimore coaching staff, gets a revenge game against the team that cut him loose after a myriad of knee issues.
Dontrelle Inman vs KC- Has a chance to establish himself out of the bye with Malcom Floyd (shoulder) iffy and Keenan Allen (kidney) done for the year.
Jamison Crowder @ CAR- Showed he still has a part to play in week 10. Could shine in the slot against a Panthers team that is most solid on the outside.
Corey Brown/Devin Funchess vs WAS- "Philly" has earned a role in the Panthers' offense. The Redskins struggled against a similar player in Brandin Cooks last weekend. Funchess came to life against Green Bay in week 9, but didn't make as much noise in week 10. Nevertheless, he's begun to see targets come his way and is someone Carolina can look to in the red-zone in an attempt to take some of the playmaking pressure off of Greg Olsen.
