Fantasy Overview - Week 11

You've now completed 10 weeks of the season and you probably have a good idea of who your regular starters are. However, there are a few players who have gone under the radar and could be worth considering for your starting roster, particularly if you're in a deeper league. Check out the matchups and see which defenses have struggled recently. There may be a chance to discover a non-traditional starter who could help you win your week. Here's a list of players from each position that I think are worth considering, especially for this week.

QUARTERBACK

• Jordan Love, GB - The Packers are 3-6, losing six of their last eight games. Jordan Love has zero 300-yard games this season, but he has thrown for multiple touchdowns in four of nine starts, which isn't horrible. The Packers are a long-standing, proud team, especially at home. This may be a season of growth and roster determination, and management may look to bring in a new quarterback at season's end. However, this may be a week to consider giving Love a chance. The Chargers come to Lambeau Field this week and have given up the most fantasy points to quarterbacks this season. No quarterback has passed for less than 230 yards against them. That includes Zach Wilson, Aidan O'Connell, and Tyson Bagent. Green Bay went through a rough stretch where Aaron Jones and Christian Watson were both out and/or dealing with nagging injuries but that appears to be behind them now. Love isn't the best option this week, but maybe he's someone to consider.
• Kyler Murray, ARI - There was some uncertainty about how Kyler Murray would perform in his first game back from an ACL tear. Would he be comfortable and confident as a runner? How well and how often would he run? How well does he know the offense in a new system? Will the coaches trust him? Arizona was a sinking ship with a quarterback problem and a 1-8 record. Then Murray returned, and the team rose to the occasion with him leading the way en route to a win against Atlanta, who have lost three straight and five of their last seven. It wasn't a monumental win, but it might've been a stepping-stone win where the team builds off their success and confidence. This week, Arizona will face an upstart Houston team on the road. This is a game Houston is supposed to win. But perhaps with Murray, the team has turned the corner. In addition to Murray's return, James Conner is back at running back, and Trey McBride is making waves as a young, talented tight end. He has exploded onto the scene with 21 receptions since Zach Ertz went on IR in Week 8. The receiving corps is on the upswing. Things are not looking so bleak for Arizona. They may not win this week at Houston, but they should be competitive. Houston has allowed 306 yards of passing offense per game against them going back to Week 5. Only Tampa Bay has allowed more in that span. Can Arizona and Murray take advantage of a Texans team that has struggled to contain the pass? He might. And he also could add some rushing yards to the mix. Murray isn't one of the best starts this week, but he could have a surprisingly effective week that is worthy of your consideration.
