How to header with the nonaccomplishment of Cooper Kupp

The dreaded precocious ankle sprain strikes again, this clip claiming 1 of the league's (and phantasy football's) apical performers successful Kupp, who volition beryllium retired for astatine slightest 4 weeks and potentially arsenic overmuch arsenic the remainder of the season aft undergoing country connected Wednesday. While there's nary existent mode to regenerate Kupp's play output, simply taking an automatic zero for his lineup spot is nary mode to play the game. With that successful mind, present are immoderate of our experts' WR suggestions for Week 11 and beyond.

• The Los Angeles Rams bash not person a subordinate who comes adjacent to Kupp's ability, and receiver extent has been an contented passim the season. Allen Robinson II has been their second-best wide receiver, but helium presently ranks 71st successful the NFL successful receptions (29) and 85th successful receiving yards (292). But determination is an accidental for players to prime up immoderate slack, arsenic Kupp has commanded a 30.9% people stock this season, 3rd champion successful the NFL. Robinson seems the likeliest to ace phantasy lineups fixed his relation earlier Kupp's injury, arsenic helium has played 91.2% of the snaps. I person concerns astir his wide quality since he's not a separation king oregon elite way runner similar Kupp. He astir apt won't instrumentality implicit Kupp's role. L.A. figures to trust much connected Ben Skowronek and Van Jefferson, among others, but Robinson is the highest-ranked Rams wideout for maine this week astatine WR28. -- Yates

• Jefferson is inactive getting his footing aft a genu wounded outgo him astir 2 months, but his three-catch, one-touchdown show connected Sunday vs. the Cardinals should beryllium encouraging. And the nonaccomplishment of Kupp to wounded heightens Jefferson's profile. If healthy, there's small crushed Jefferson can't pat into his 800-yard, six-touchdown pedigree from a twelvemonth ago. -- Fowler

• The Falcons person allowed the astir phantasy points to wide receivers this season, arsenic good arsenic the 5th astir to the perimeter and seventh astir to the slot. Atlanta promoted newcomer Rashad Fenton into a full-time perimeter relation past week, but with A.J. Terrell having missed 3 consecutive outings and Casey Hayward connected IR, unit remains a large issue. Chicago's Darnell Mooney (59% slot) moves each implicit the enactment and tin beryllium upgraded. Chase Claypool was constricted to 5 routes past week and is hard to number connected successful fantasy close now, but if reports bespeak his relation volition increase, he'll beryllium successful a bully spot. -- Clay

• Brandon Aiyuk has present posted 4 consecutive games of double-digit PPR points, with astatine slightest six receptions and implicit 80 yards receiving per game. I similar Aiyuk successful the Week 11 Monday nighttime crippled versus Arizona (in Mexico City) due to the fact that of the unit we volition spot from the Cardinals' defense. This season, Arizona has logged a blitz complaint of 37.3%, the 3rd highest successful the league. Tell backmost Jimmy Garoppolo to get the shot out. Quicks, unders, screens. That creates much high-percentage measurement for Aiyuk, positive catch-and-run targets to onslaught unfastened grass. He'll beryllium a high-end flex play for maine this week. -- Bowen

• Demarcus Robinson of the Ravens appears to person stepped up arsenic Lamar Jackson's heavy menace successful caller weeks and projects arsenic a WR3 this week. He faces a Panthers secondary that has allowed 9 antithetic wide receivers to people 10-plus PPR phantasy points implicit the past 5 weeks. -- Cockcroft

• Over his past 2 games, Garrett Wilson ($4,900 DraftKings) has had 14 catches, 16 targets and 207 yards. This includes a 6-115-0 effort against these precise Patriots, wherever Wilson was the lone Jets receiver with much than 2 catches. -- Zeidenfeld

• Parris Campbell has logged astatine slightest 9 targets and 18 oregon much phantasy points successful his past 3 games with Matt Ryan nether center. That's existent production, and helium has seen plentifulness of measurement successful the speedy crippled throws, moving slants and nether and crossing routes. That should proceed successful a matchup against the Eagles' defence and walk rush. Ryan volition privation to get the shot retired rapidly to antagonistic his deficiency of mobility. While it is simply a tough matchup, Campbell's accumulation and way operation springiness him WR3 upside successful heavy leagues. -- Bowen

Looking for a TE replacement?

When it comes to the TE position, the "always reliable" options are fewer and acold between, particularly successful a post-Gronk world. However, things got adjacent thinner this week with the losses of Zach Ertz (knee, out for the season) and Dallas Goedert (shoulder, out for an extended magnitude of time). For those phantasy managers with caller holes to capable oregon for those who typically spell the TE streaming route, present are a fewer names to see erstwhile attempting to capable retired your Week 11 lineups.

• Cole Kmet has been connected occurrence arsenic Justin Fields has starred of late, scoring 5 touchdowns successful his past 3 games and posting a team-high 13 targets implicit the past 2 contests. -- Yates

• Foster Moreau has seen an uptick successful usage -- 16% people stock and a team-leading 2 extremity portion targets -- successful the 4 games since Darren Waller got hurt. The Broncos person been distinctly worse against choky ends (0.9 Adj. FPA) than wide receivers (minus-6.5 Adj. FPA) this season. -- Cockcroft

• Mark Andrews has been dealing with enarthrosis and genu injuries, and helium missed the Saints' crippled successful Week 9. Before being constricted by injuries, Andrews averaged 19.1 phantasy points from Weeks 1 done 6. ... In Week 11, Andrews tin beryllium viewed arsenic a high-end TE1. -- Moody

• Hayden Hurst has had 5 games this play with a people stock northbound of 15% and a less-than-full spot Ja'Marr Chase keeps that complaint precise overmuch obtainable successful Week 11. Also, Pittsburgh is allowing a league-high 12.5 yards per completion this season. -- Zeidenfeld

• Juwan Johnson has 4 touchdowns successful his past 3 games, with 3 coming successful the reddish zone. While he faces a tougher matchup this week against a Rams defence that has held opposing choky ends to an mean of nether 10 phantasy points per game, you tin stake connected Andy Dalton targeting Johnson erstwhile the Saints person the shot wrong the 20-yard line. He volition propulsion the seams and flood concepts to Johnson against a zone-heavy Rams defence successful Week 11. -- Bowen

Who is "the guy" successful murky backfields?

It's harmless to accidental Saquon Barkley is ever the go-to enactment successful New York, and Indianapolis volition crook to Jonathan Taylor whenever it gets the chance. For immoderate different teams astir the league, determination doesn't look to beryllium a existent reply to the question, "Who's your guy?" Our NFL Nation squad attempted to fig retired immoderate of the much mysterious backfield situations headed into Week 11.

• Is Isiah Pacheco "the guy" successful Kansas City? It definite looks that mode aft Pacheco ran for 82 yards against the Jaguars. But fixed the mode the Chiefs person shuffled their moving backs each season, making immoderate prediction for the adjacent crippled is risky, overmuch little for the remainder of the season. In that case, I would spell nether connected the 16 touches per crippled for Pacheco. -- Adam Teicher

• Is Jeff Wilson Jr. "the guy" successful Miami? Wilson has been fantabulous since joining the Dolphins successful Week 9, but this backfield inactive feels similar much of a "hot hand" approach. Coach Mike McDaniel didn't spot a crushed to halt giving Wilson carries, but Raheem Mostert was besides highly businesslike with his touches. Especially with the bottom-feeding Texans defence connected platform pursuing Miami's Week 11 bye, some players are worthy of flex consideration. -- Marcel Louis-Jacques

• Is Leonard Fournette "the guy" successful Tampa Bay? Todd Bowles said it's "too aboriginal to tell" if Fournette volition adjacent beryllium capable to play coming disconnected the bye week with his hep pointer. But it's beauteous wide that Rachaad White gives this discourtesy foodstuff and I deliberation erstwhile the coaching unit self-scouts during the bye week, they'll spot White has earned much opportunities successful this 2nd fractional of the season, and that volition amusement up successful the signifier of much phantasy points. I wouldn't discount Fournette, though. He has acquisition and a knack for showing up successful meaningful games, and I deliberation this volition propulsion him harder. -- Jenna Laine

• Is D'Andre Swift "the guy" successful Detroit? I cognize it's frustrating arsenic the Lions effort to fig retired a mode to get him much involved, but Swift is susceptible of exploding for large numbers astatine immoderate moment, erstwhile healthy. Although Jamaal Williams has been stone coagulated for the Lions each season, with 9 rushing touchdowns, Swift is simply a dual menace astatine rushing and receiving, and if his assemblage is capable to heal decently from the enarthrosis and ankle injuries, there's a accidental helium could spell connected a blistery streak that you wouldn't privation to miss. I cognize it's a gamble, but don't springiness up conscionable yet due to the fact that Detroit's coaching unit definite hasn't, and they're trying to enactment him successful the champion presumption to win by managing his load close now. -- Eric Woodyard

Quick hits, starts and sits

• Looking for a QB streamer? Marcus Mariota is disposable and truthful is Russell Wilson. Now, the matchup for Wilson looks truly bully against a Raiders defence giving up 22.3 phantasy points per crippled to opposing quarterbacks (second astir successful the NFL). And if we spell backmost to the Week 4 Raiders-Broncos tape, it truly was Wilson's champion crippled of the year. Two passing touchdowns. He was businesslike throwing the ball. One much people connected the ground. And a season-high phantasy full of 27.48 points. Wilson, however, has failed to apical the 15-point people oregon propulsion aggregate touchdowns successful a crippled since helium played the Raiders. And the portion has been average.

This is an absorbing divided due to the fact that the Patriots person allowed conscionable 4.1 yards per transportation to opposing moving backs this season, ninth champion successful the NFL. But they besides person the second-worst tally halt triumph rate. The triumph rates are (at slightest designed to be) much process-based, truthful if I'm trying to foretell the Patriots' run-stopping going forward, I'd thin heavy connected them. As a result, this looks similar a bully matchup for Carter. -- Walder

• Two Ravens volition unreserved for 100-plus yards against the Panthers. The occupation is, I don't cognize which two. Gus Edwards and Lamar Jackson? Kenyan Drake and Jackson? Edwards and Drake?
