Best Deep League Fantasy Week 11 WR Adds: Rishard Matthews, Jermaine Kearse, Aaron Dobson Top ESPN Football FAs

The Miami Dolphins are a pretty big mess these days and after losing to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Monday night football, there isn't much to celebrate, but fantasy football owners should look to wideout Rishard Matthews as a top deep league addition along with names like Jermaine Kearse, Andre Roberts and Aaron Dobson heading into the back stretch of the season.

The Dolphins lost on Monday to the previously winless Buccaneers, but they may have a new solid wide receiver option going forward, as Matthews had a breakout game with 11 catches for over 100 yards and he also scored two touchdowns. The 120 yards receiving by Matthews were more than he had in the previous four games combined and it also marked his first two scores of the season. With Brian Hartline and Mike Wallace disappointing for the most part this season and also being total bros with the Richie Incognito situation, Matthews could be a solid addition in deeper leagues.

Ryan Tannehill needs some weapons to throw to and he is getting harassed by defenses without a solid offensive line and now it appears Matthews could be an option moving forward. He had 14 targets in the game and that bodes well for him and that makes 24 in the past three weeks, including 16 catches. The team has a tough schedule in the back stretch, but with the offense struggling, new players need to step up and after putting up double digit catch averages the past three weeks, Matthews could be a solid deep threat. He has made at least one 15 yard catch in each of the last three games and after getting into the end zone he could be a solid target for Tannehill in the offense.

The Dolphins next play the Chargers and their secondary is shaky and now Matthews comes in with more yards and catches than he had all last season, putting up 21 receptions for 237 yards in nine games after having 11 for 151 and zero TDs last season. The Seahawks need players to step up until Percy Harvin is ready to return and Kearse has proven to be a solid option, as he had three catches for 75 yards on Sunday in the win against the Falcons and that's more yards than he has had in the past four weeks combined. He had four targets and a TD Sunday, making it two games in a row with a score and now he could be a solid option with Sidney Rice out, as the Hawks have not been one of the better teams in the league passing the ball this season.

Kearse made a nice 43 yards grab for a TD off a lateral pass to Russell Wilson from Marshawn Lynch and with Harvin coming back, he could be in line for more production. This season he has 13 catches, but the bulk of that has come in the past few weeks and with the team already 9-1, they will be looking for players to step up down the stretch and Kearse could be a productive one.

Andre Roberts and Aaron Dobson are also good options to pick up, as both have been productive the past couple weeks for deeper leagues. Roberts had 72 yards and five catches Sunday along with a TD, while Dobson is coming off of a five catch 130 yard day with two scores from before his bye week and with the Panthers playing on MNF against the Patriots, he could be a solid option.
