5 breakout fantasy football stars to pick up for Week 11
Here are five fantasy football additions who could break out in NFL Week 11.
We are working our way towards the middle of November. Meaning, the NFL season is approaching the latter portion of the regular-season schedule. Of course, this means fantasy football campaigns are creeping closer to playoffs.
As you chip away towards your end goal of winning the championship, it is important to know which teams are on bye this week. Here are the four clubs for Week 11: San Francisco 49ers, New York Giants, Chicago Bears, and the Buffalo Bills.
Unlike last week when the bye kept a ton of top players off the field, this week is more manageable as a fantasy general manager. The Giants and Bears do not carry too many high-rostered players, the 49ers have already seen most of the team’s top players go down with injuries, and the Bills have replaceable options on the waiver wire this week.
Time to get into the list and see which five players you could look into for Week 11.

Ron Rivera has had to change quarterbacks much more than he probably thought he would have had to do prior to the season. Dwayne Haskins played four games before Rivera went to a familiar face, Kyle Allen, who Rivera worked with while in Carolina with the Panthers.
Allen has since been hurt, and now it appears to be Alex Smith’s job. Yes, that Alex Smith. So, the question that begs to be answered is how should we value Washington skill position players?
That question is still unclear, but adding Logan Thomas is something to roll the dice on. Smith is working his way back into form since his terrible injury. As he gets more comfortable with game action, Thomas may become a safety net for the veteran gunslinger.
Thomas has had a solid season to this point, and he has put together respectable games in an offense without a true identity with different quarterbacks cycling in and out under center. In Weeks 6 and 7, he had a strong stretch of play where he hauled in touchdowns in two straight games with seven catches on eight targets for 102 yards combined in both contests.
In Week 11, Washington will host the Cincinnati Bengals, a team that has not defended tight ends well in 2020.
