The 2025-26 NFL season is underway which means we are in the thick of fantasy football season! The fantasy landscape has already changed since the preseason due to breakout players and major injuries across the league. Bye weeks have been taking place. This means that wide receivers like Chris Olave and Michael Pittman Jr. will be out this week. It would be irresponsible to start a player with a rough matchup over a player with a more favorable one that is ranked or projected to perform similarly. Here are fantasy football Week 11 wide receiver rankings.
[Ratings are subject to change due to injury reports or possible move to Injured Reserve List]
[Check out the section below for details on players already rumored to possibly miss this week and how their replacement options rank for the week]
Must Start- a player who is in your lineup regardless of the matchup or most circumstances. They will likely finish near the top of the league in points that week and in most weeks.
Starting WR1- a player who makes fantasy owners comfortable starting week after week. Regardless of the matchup, this player has a high floor.
High WR2- a player who may not be likely to carry a lineup that week, but has the ability to have a breakout game and is teetering between WR1 and WR2 territory.
Starting WR2- a player who should be started in most lineups and should reach their point projection. This player is started because of their consistency and moderately high floor
Low WR2- a player who may not be a lock to start for a team every week, but will start more times than not. Their production may not be pretty or win a person their lineup but the production is consistent enough to make a fantasy owner comfortable starting them.
Flex- a player who could float around the territory of being benched, but is started due to the potential to play better than their point projection. However, this player has the potential to flop and cause a fantasy team to lose if he has a bad game.
Deeper League Flex- a player who has starting value in deeper leagues. There are enough reasons to leave this player on the bench, but their upside makes them an attractive option. Desperate times may call for a player like this to be inserted into starting lineups.
Upside Player- a player who is boom or bust. This player can exceed expectations in a given week or could flop and be the reason why someone lost their fantasy matchup.
Leave on the Bench- a player who should be avoided in all lineups that week. Many times this player could even be left on waivers.

Garrett Wilson suffered another injury to the same knee that caused him to miss two games earlier this season. He is expected to out for 3-4 weeks. There is a slim chance that New York has Wilson rest for the remainder of the season to avoid further damage to his knee if their record doesn’t improve during that stretch. While Wilson is out Tyler Johnson could remain New York’s primary wide receiver. Young promising receivers Arian Smith, Adonai Mitchell, and John Metchie III could see elevated roles for the remainder of the 2025-26 season.
Marvin Harrison Jr., Arizona Cardinals
Marvin Harrison Jr. was ruled out for this week’s game against the San Francisco 49ers after having surgery to address his appendicitis.

While Harrison is out Michael Wilson and Greg Dortch will be the team’s primary wide receivers now that Zay Jones is out for the remainder of the season.
Chris Godwin, Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Chris Godwin has missed the past four games after re-aggregating a lower leg injury that caused him to miss a majority of last season and the first three games of this season. He was limited in practice on Wednesday, but is unlikely to play this week. Tampa Bay’s plan appears to be to let Godwin get to 100% if possible this season. In Godwin’s absence Tez Johnson has surpassed Sterling Shepard as the team’s second receiver behind Emeka Egbuka. This will likely remain until Godwin or Jalen McMillan return from their injuries.
