If you’re searching for fantasy football sleepers, check out these five WRs who could see increased opportunities in Week 11.

It’s going to be an awesomely overstuffed Sunday of football in Week 11, with an early International Game in Madrid followed by 11 games on the main fantasy football slate on DraftKings. Eight of the 11 matchups are divisional grudge matches, so it should be plenty of familiar foes with important playoff implications in many contests. In this post, we’ll look at those 11 matchups and hunt down some fantasy football sleeper plays at wide receiver who are set up to make a huge difference in your DFS fantasy football lineups, but still have a bargain DraftKings salary.

The options highlighted each week as football sleeper plays for DFS can also translate into sneaky plays in your season-long league since they are in line to exceed expectations and many are still on the waiver wire. Earlier this week, I highlighted my top-30 starters at wide receiver. In this list, we’ll focus on players outside those 30 who still bring a high ceiling. Here’s who I am looking at this week and how last week’s picks fared:

Week 11 Fantasy Football Sleeper WR picks (full analysis below)

Jerry Jeudy, Cleveland Browns ($4,400)

Marvin Mims Jr., Denver Broncos ($3,900)

Michael Wilson, Arizona Cardinals ($3,800)

Luther Burden III, Chicago Bears ($3,700)

Joshua Palmer, Buffalo Bills ($3,300)

Week 10 Results:

DeMario Douglas, New England Patriots ($4,000; 5.4 FPTS)

Olamide Zaccheaus, Chicago Bears ($3,600; 1.5 FPTS)

Jaylin Lane, Washington Commanders ($3,600; 5.1 FPTS)

Cedric Tillman, Cleveland Browns ($3,500, 3.1 FPTS)

Jalen Coker, Carolina Panthers ($3,300; 0.0 FPTS)

Whether you’re looking for value plays in your DFS contests like the NFL $2.5M Fantasy Football Millionaire [$1M to 1st] or a last-minute addition from the waiver wire in season-long formats, here are my top-five fantasy football sleeper wide receivers for Week 11 of the 2025 season:

Jerry Jeudy, Cleveland Browns ($4,400)

I’m not here to tell you the Browns’ offense under QB Dillon Gabriel ($4,200) is any good or that they’ll put up a bunch of points against the Ravens, but I am here to say that Jerry Jeudy is too cheap at under $4,500.

Jeudy struggled for the second straight year at the start of the season with Kevin Stefanski calling plays. Last year, he took off after Ken Dorsey took over, and he seems to be duplicating that surge this year with Tommy Rees calling plays the last two weeks. Jeudy had six catches for 78 yards, a touchdown and 19.8 fantasy points in Week 10 against the Jets, after being held to 6.0 fantasy points per game through his first eight games and even being held without a catch in Week 8 against the Patriots. He had 12 targets in that game, and he looked truly like the team’s top receiver.

Granted, that performance came against the Jets defense that just traded Sauce Gardner the week before and was also torn up on Thursday of Week 11 by Stefon Diggs. This week, though, he’ll get a very favorable matchup against the Ravens, who have allowed the fourth-most fantasy points to receivers this season. Jeudy had four catches for 51 yards against them in Week 2, but they’ve allowed 11 touchdowns in nine games along with an average of 166.1 receiving yards per game to the position.

The offense’s struggles make him hard to trust, but he definitely brings dynamic upside in this matchup as a good value under $4,500.

Marvin Mims Jr., Denver Broncos ($3,900)

The Broncos will get Mims back in action after he missed Week 9 and Week 10 with a concussion. He was growing into a large part of the team’s game plan before his injury and posted four straight games with multiple catches, including two six-catch performances that earned him 20.5 and 15.8 fantasy points.

He didn’t have a catch during the game in which he was injured, but still contributed with three carries for 18 yards, three kickoff returns for 93 yards, two punt returns for 26 yards and a a 32-yard defensive pass interference penalty that he drew.

Mims can be boom-or-bust since his targets come and go, but his big-play potential always give him a high ceiling. This season, he has two touchdowns, (one rushing and one receiving) and has hauled in 22 of his 32 targets for 234 receiving yards. Mims has consistently made big plays throughout his years in Denver, and I expect coach Sean Payton to find ways to get the gadget player involved for some big gains this Sunday as the team looks for a statement win against the Chiefs. Mims is high risk under $4,000, but he also brings a thrilling upside.

Michael Wilson, Arizona Cardinals ($3,800)

I covered Michael Wilson in my top overall value picks for this week since he should be an elite value play as he steps up as the Cardinals’ top wide receiver in Week 11.

Since Marvin Harrison Jr. (appendix) isn’t available, Wilson will be the go-to option for Jacoby Brissett ($4,900). He and Brissett have clicked well overall, and the third-year receiver has at least three catches in four straight games, including big plays like this one:

He hasn’t gotten to double-digit fantasy points in any game this season, but with more targets and a solid matchup against San Francisco, Wilson should be poised for success this week.

Luther Burden III, Chicago Bears ($3,700)

The Bears drafted Burden out of Missouri in the second round, and they’ve slowly been working him into their offense. He’s flashed big-time upside but has had an inconsistent role.

That may be starting to change, though, since he played a season-high 33 snaps (49% of the team’s offensive snaps) in Week 10 when he returned from a missed game with a concussion. He helped the Bears rally past the Giants by catching all three of his targets for 51 yards.

Burden is the most efficient Bears’ receiver when targeted and is a deep option with lots of big-play ability.  He was schemed into some big plays like Mims earlier in the season, and if he’s ready for more regular work, he could be on the verge of a breakout.

The Bears are indoors to take on the Vikings this week in what should be a relatively high-scoring NFC North battle. If Caleb Williams ($5,900) continues to progress in Ben Johnson’s system and Burden continues to get more time, there’s a lot to love about getting him for such a bargain salary this week. He does still definitely come with risk, but he brings lots of upside as well.

Joshua Palmer, Buffalo Bills ($3,300)

The Bills will be without Dalton Kincaid (hamstring) this week, and Khalil Shakir ($5,300) was limited in practice all week before not getting any injury designation. Shakir has been carrying a heavy workload as the team’s top receiver, catching at least six passes in three straight games with a total of 38 targets over the last five games.

Palmer could help relieve some of that load and also take some of the vacated targets with Kincaid out this week. He’ll be in action for the first time since Week 6, when he sustained an ankle injury against Atlanta. Palmer was brought in from the Chargers this past offseason to serve as the team’s third receiver behind Shakir and Keon Coleman ($4,500), but his injury has derailed that plan. He started the year with five catches on nine targets for 61 yards against the Ravens, and posted multiple catches in four of his next five games before the injury. In the last game he played before the injury, he had this big play from Josh Allen.

Like some of the other plays on this list, Palmer has flashed potential but hasn’t been consistent. He’s worth taking a flier on if you think he’ll have a big game in his return, since his salary is barely over the minimum for this matchup.
