Fantasy Football Week 11 Sleepers: Play Nico Collins in return, Rico Dowdle worth a look and more

We started the week touting Noah Brown as someone to add off the waiver wire because he was playing well, and Nico Collins was dealing with a calf injury. Now, as we head into the weekend, we have Collins back in action for Week 11 against Arizona, while Brown isn’t expected to play because of a bad knee.

Nathaniel Dell remains my favorite Texans receiver, and he’s a must-start Fantasy option in all leagues. But don’t be afraid to trust Collins again in all formats, and he’s a solid sleeper against the Cardinals.

Prior to missing Week 10 at Cincinnati, Collins had scored at least 12 PPR points in five of eight games this season. He has at least six targets in five games, at least six catches in three outings, four games with at least 80 receiving yards and four touchdowns.

Dell has moved ahead of Collins as the best Fantasy receiver in Houston, but Collins still offers plenty of upside as a prime target for C.J. Stroud. And the outlook for Collins improves with Brown out in Week 11.

It’s also a great matchup against the Cardinals, who have allowed nine receivers to score at least 14 PPR points this season. And there’s plenty of room for Dell and Collins to both be productive in Week 11.

There have been four times this season where multiple Houston receivers have scored at least 11.7 PPR points, including each of the past two games against Tampa Bay and Cincinnati. Against the Bengals, it was Brown (24.2 PPR points) and Dell (18.9 PPR points) standing out.

Now, in Week 11, the top duo will be Dell and Collins against the Cardinals. With the way Stroud is playing, you should feel confident in Dell and Collins as starting Fantasy receivers in all leagues. 

Now, let’s look at some other sleepers I like for Week 11. Hopefully these players will deliver in a big way to help your lineups. And if you’re looking for my Week 11 DFS plays, you can find my million-dollar contest tournament lineups for both DraftKings and FanDuel over at SportsLine.
