The fantasy football Week 11 schedule is here and some free agent pickups and sleepers to look at for owners at the RB position include Rashad Jennings, CJ Anderson, Theo Riddick, Ryan Mathews, Montee Ball and Bobby Rainey, while other players like Odell Beckham, Brandin Cooks, Malcom Floyd, Coby Fleener, Jordan Matthews, John Brown, Greg Jennings and Larry Donnell all could step up this week.
At the RB position, Jennings is a solid option, as the Giants have been itching to get him back and once he returns he will be the starter over Andre Williams. CJ Anderson has the chance to step up with Ronnie Hillman injured and he had a great game in Week 10 and could continue in Week 11. Montee Ball is a solid pickup as well, as he is coming back and should get eased in and he is a better start option in Week 12, while Anderson should be the main back for the Broncos this week.
John Brown and Jordan Matthews are two options if they are still available in leagues, as they have put up some great numbers over the past couple weeks. Malcom Floyd has continued to have a great season, while Odell Beckham and Brandin Cooks have high upsides for this week and they could be strong starters for fantasy owners in need of replacements for players on byes. Theo Riddick and Bobby Rainey have been stepping up and with Reggie Bush hobbled, Riddick could have another solid game this week when the Lions take on the Cardinals.
Brown has a new quarterback in Drew Stanton, but he looked good this past week coming in for Carson Palmer and that could lead to some big games for Brown. The in two of the past three weeks Brown has scored on long TDs and he now has 29 catches for 399 yards and five TDs on the season. Brown was targeted nine times last week and he made five catches for 73 yards and a TD and he has shown some blazing speed in the process. Brown had five catches for 119 yards and a TD against the Eagles a few weeks ago and now he could be poised for more.
Ryan Mathews is coming back from an injury and while he will cut into Branden Oliver's carries, he still should be a solid option for owners. Mathews has been injured since early in the season and now he is coming back and he could be a top performer once he is back to full strength. Jennings was having a great season before getting injured and he now comes back after putting up 396 yards in five games and now he is coming back.
Anderson took advantage of Hillman and the injury last week and ended up with over 160 total yards and now he could get the start Sunday. Anderson had 90 yards on the ground and another 73 yards on receptions, including a TD. Matthews had a fantastic game with seven catches and two TDs and he is one of the main players to watch this week for the Eagles in fantasy.
