Over halfway through the 2025 NFL season, QB-WR rapports, target shares and more have been established among the league’s receiving corps. With all of that in mind, let’s break down my WR start/sit Week 11 fantasy football picks.
Check out my full Week 11 start/sit article with picks at each position here!
Start ‘Em: Troy Franklin (Denver Broncos) vs. Kansas City Chiefs
Denver has a WR1, and his name isn’t Courtland Sutton.
From a talent standpoint, that statement isn’t necessarily true, as Sutton still presents game-breaking big-play capabilities and leads the team in yards. However, when it comes to targets, receptions and touchdowns, Franklin has the edge.
Franklin and Nix’s Oregon days have translated into a legitimate NFL rapport. The 22-year-old has been targeted 37 times over Denver’s last three outings. Accuracy has been an issue for the signal caller, which has resulted in fewer completed passes than fantasy managers would like, but Franklin has also scored four times over that span.
The sophomore receiver is fresh off another solid outing in which he hauled in five of nine targets for 40 yards and a touchdown. The matchup against Kansas City isn’t exactly ideal, but Franklin’s emergence as Nix’s top option has put him on the map.
Sit ‘Em: DJ Moore (Chicago Bears) at Minnesota Vikings
Moore finally broke out against the Bengals in Week 9 after his demotion within Chicago’s receiving corps, but it wasn’t exactly in typical fashion. The veteran racked up four receptions for 72 yards, but his real production came in the form of a Philly Special passing touchdown and a rushing touchdown, giving him 23 fantasy points on the day.
So, how did Moore follow up such an excellent, versatile outing?
With a goose egg.
He was targeted just four times in Chicago’s comeback win over the Giants, failing to haul in any of those attempts.
This is just the latest instance of extreme frustration for fantasy managers who roster Moore, as the former 1,300-yard receiver has now failed to record double-digit points in six of nine games. It’s impossible to trust him against a Vikings defense that allows the seventh-fewest fantasy points to receivers.

Sit ‘Em: Xavier Worthy (Kansas City Chiefs) at Denver Broncos
It just hasn’t been the sophomore season fantasy managers (and Chiefs fans) were hoping for from Xavier Worthy. After playing a massive role in his rookie campaign, the speedy WR2 has become somewhat of an afterthought in Kansas City’s offense. Worthy has failed to record 12 fantasy points in five straight games, including a season-worst 6-point performance before the bye against Buffalo.
His target share hasn’t been horrendous, but the 22-year-old has caught more than three passes just once over the Chiefs’ last four contests. It won’t get any easier in their return to action this Sunday, as they take on Denver. The Broncos are allowing the fewest fantasy points to receivers, which will likely lead to another dud for Worthy.

Start ‘Em: Jameson Williams (Detroit Lions) at Philadelphia Eagles
Finally, the Lions seem to have remembered that a) Jameson Williams is on their roster and b) he is one of the best big-play threats in the NFL. After one of the most infuriating fantasy starts to a season in recent memory, Williams has now racked up at least 16 points in three of Detroit’s last four contests.
Unsurprisingly, the speedster scored in all three of those outings, but he has also emerged as a consistent target for Jared Goff. Last week, Williams recorded six catches for a season-high 119 yards, setting the stage for another big performance against Philly. The Eagles’ secondary is not nearly as intimidating as in years past, and Dan Campbell taking over play-calling duties for Williams’ best game of the year suggests he’ll continue to play a key role in Week 11.
