Week 10 Fantasy Football Wide Receiver Bust

DJ Moore, Chicago Bears

After showing growth in Week 9 (4/89/1), Moore appeared to be a winning fantasy start while having a favorable matchup against the Giants. Caleb Williams looked his way only four times, leading to no catches. The Bears had him on the field for 62% of their snaps, compared to over 85.7% for the season.

Runner Up: Garrett Wilson returned from his knee injury in Week 10, but he didn’t have an upside matchup against the Browns. The Jets had him on the field for 39% of their plays before exiting with a sprained knee. He posted a no catch game on three targets while expecting to miss another three games at a minimum.


Each week, I’ll release my depth charts and projections on Wednesday, with a neutral eye informed by hints from previous results or in-season injuries. These statistics represent baseline outlooks, with their potential already factored in. Touchdowns create impact scores and winning fantasy days, especially in non-PPR formats. Who scores them each week is the Holy Grail that the fantasy market searches for weekly.

My projections will be ranked in a way that won’t resemble the weekly consensus. My man, Matt Brandon, is in charge of finding a balance between my player outlooks and the public view of each week's rankings.

Week 11 Fantasy Football Wide Receiver Projections Preview

Here’s a look at our opening Week 11 top 12 wide receiver projections:

Week 11 Fantasy Football Wide Receiver Projections
Shawn Childs

Ja’Marr Chase, Cincinnati Bengals

Over his last five games, Chase had been a fantasy heater (6/110/2, 10/94/1, 16/161/1, 12/91, and 6/111), with his top outcome over this span coming against the Steelers. He is on pace to catch 144 passes for 1,560 yards and nine touchdowns. Last year, Chase scored in both his starts against Pittsburgh (6/86/1 and 10/96/1). 

2025 Wide Receiver Fantasy Point Catch Stats
Shawn Childs

The Steelers’ defense has allowed the most catches (137) to wide receivers while ranking 31st in receiving yards allowed (1,742). Despite their weakness, wide receivers scored eight times.

  • Garrett Wilson (7/95/1)
  • Jaxon Smith-Njigba (8/103)
  • Jordan Addison (4/114)
  • Justin Jefferson (10/126)
  • Ja’Marr Chase (16/161/1)
  • Tee Higgins (6/96/1)
  • Alec Pierce (6/115)
  • Michael Pittman (9/115)
  • Ladd McConkey (4/107/4)

Chase is the top-rated wide receiver this week based on his direction and matchup. The Steelers’ defense allowed 13 touchdowns and seven field goals over their last 46 possessions faced. Joe Flacco must get the ball out quickly in this game for Chase to continue to excellent fantasy ride. If so, the Bengals' top wideout will get many easy short catches while also creating a beatable window for a long scoring play.

Week 11 Waiver Wire Wide Receiver Pickup

Michael Wilson, Arizona Cardinals

With Marvin Harrison out this week, Wilson moved to the second option in the passing game for the Cardinals. He hasn’t scored over 10.00 fantasy points this season while averaging 4.2 targets per game. His best game (7/76/2) of his career came against the 49ers in his rookie season.

2025 Wide Receiver Fantasy Point Catch Stats
Shawn Childs

The 49ers fell to 27th in wide receiver defense (340.60 fantasy points). They allow 12.3 yards per catch with wideouts catching 67.4% of their targets.

  • Elic Ayomanor (4/56/1)
  • AJ Brown (6/109/1)
  • DeVonta Smith (8/60/1)
  • Michael Pittman (5/41/1)
  • Kendrick Bourne (10/142)
  • Travis Hunter (8/101/1)
  • Jauan Jennings (6/71/1)

Wilson lacks a consistent, proven resume, but he does have opportunity on his side with Harrison out. His size (6’2” and 215 lbs.) can create a scoring advantage at the goal line. For now, he provides bye-week or injury-replacement value.

Here's a look at the wide receiver projection uppates for Week 11:

Marvin Harrison Jr, Arizona Cardinals

Arizona ruled out Harrison this week due to appendix surgery. Michael Wilson and Trey McBride get a slight bump in chances, while Greg Dortch moves to WR2 status.

Drake London, Atlanta Falcons

A back issue shifted London to questionable status on Thursday. I expect him to play on Sunday.

Rashod Bateman, Baltimore Ravens

An ankle issue pushes Bateman to the sidelines this week, potentially giving DeAndre Hopkins an WR2 opportunity for Baltimore. Earlier in the season, Tylan Wallace had WR3 snaps over three games, making him the underdog wide receiver to succeed in Week 11 for the Ravens.

Isaiah Bond, Cleveland Browns

The Browns will have Bond's services against the Ravens. On the downside, he slips to a WR3 role with Cedric Tillman back in the starting lineup.

Romeo Doubs, Green Bay Packers

Earlier in the week, I expected Doubs to miss his matchup with the Giants due to a chest injury. He has been cleared of his injury, putting him back on track to start on Sunday. I revamped the Packers’ wide receivers.

Brian Thomas, Jacksonville Jaguars

The Jaguars list Thomas as questionable this week after turning in limited practice this week. I still have him rated as out.

Darius Slayton, New York Giants

A hamstring injury knocks Slayton out of action this week. The Giants should give Lil’Jordan Humphrey and Ray-Ray McCloud more snaps this week. Meanwhile, Jalin Hyatt waits for his chance to become a deep threat for New York.

Tory Horton, Seattle Seahawks

After a career game (4/48/2), Horton will miss another game with groin and shin injuries. As a result, I bumped up Jaxon Smith-Njigba's projections to showcase his stat power in this matchup.

Calvin Ridley, Tennessee Titans

I bumped Ridley to starting status against Houston after seeing limited practice this week. I revamped the Titans’ wide receiver projections.
