With Week 11 of the fantasy football on tap, finding the best matchups to exploit is key in winning your matchup this week.

A favorable matchup in fantasy football can make a good player have a great week, or a great player have an incredible week. It’s a common tactic of fantasy footballers to find and exploit these matchups.

However, not all on-paper matchups end up working out. Playing a guy solely based off of a matchup can sometimes sting. Let’s take a look at some players who are sure to exploit their matchups this week.

Best fantasy football matchups for Week 11

5. Marquise Brown, Ravens (vs. Chicago Bears)

Marquise Brown has turned in a respectable fantasy football season so far, catching 52-of-82 targets for 719 yards and six touchdowns. He’s been the number one target for the Ravens, which is impressive considering they have Mark Andrews, Sammy Watkins, and first-round receiver Rashod Bateman.

Brown and the Ravens have a favorable matchup in both fantasy football and in real life when they play the Chicago Bears, who are 29th against wide receivers in fantasy football points, even though they have a top-ten defense in terms of passing yards allowed per game. Brown has usually checked in at a mid-range WR2, but he has higher upside than normal this week.
