5 breakout fantasy football stars to pick up for Week 11

1. Top Fantasy Football Pickups For Week 11 – Tampa Bay Buccaneers RB Rachaad White

There have been rumors of a potential change at running back in Tampa Bay for weeks as Rachaad White has received more reps at the expense of Leonard Fournette. The change appears to have occurred in Week 10 as White drew the start over Fournette in Munich and performed well in the Buccaneers’ 21-16 win over the Seattle Seahawks

White carried 22 times for 105 yards in the win and was the primary ball carrier after Fournette left the contest early with a hip injury. The timeshare was closer to 50-50 when Fournette was in the game as he had 14 touches compared to 11 for White but hip injuries can be complicated to deal with.

It is also worth mentioning that the Buccaneers are on bye in Week 11, so Fournette conceivably could recover in time for Tampa Bay’s matchup with the Browns. A healthy Fournette will stay involved in the offense but White’s strong performance today will earn him a significant place at the table going forward.

There is a good opportunity to go and get White, who is rostered in 44 percent of Yahoo! leagues, as an RB2 with the potential to become an RB1 if he siphons off enough of Fournette’s workload. Teams looking for running back help should take a flier on White, who has league-winning upside if he can seize the Buccaneers’ backfield after Tampa Bay’s bye.
