Fantasy Football Week 11 Streamers: QB, TE and Team Defense

Before unveiling Week 11’s quarterback, tight end and team defense streamers, let’s see how Week 10’s streamers did (Yahoo! scoring, 0.5-point PPR).

Quarterback: Joshua Dobbs-25.12 points
Tight End: Cade Otton-2 points
Team Defense: Las Vegas Raiders-8 points

Week 11 is not quite as tough of a bye week for fantasy football owners, with the Indianapolis Colts, Atlanta Falcons, New Orleans Saints and New England Patriots idle. But in an important week, here are our top quarterback, tight end and team defense streamers for Week 11.

Note: Yahoo! scoring used unless otherwise noted.

Quarterback: Joshua Dobbs, Minnesota Vikings at Denver Broncos (Sunday night)

Dobbs threw for 268 yards with a touchdown, along with 44 rushing yards and a touchdown on the ground, against the New Orleans Saints in Week 10. He has a rushing touchdown in four straight games, with multiple touchdowns accounted for and at least 24.9 fantasy points in three straight.

Week 11 brings a nice matchup for Dobbs against the Denver Broncos, who are allowing the eighth-most fantasy points per game to quarterbacks this season. The Denver defense has been way better lately and they have intercepted multiple passes in back-to-back games, against Patrick Mahomes and Josh Allen, but six of nine quarterbacks they’ve faced this season have accounted for multiple touchdowns against them.

Oh, and the Vikings may get wide receiver Justin Jefferson back this week.

I don’t love the other quarterback streaming options for this week. Dobbs qualifies, even a shade over 50 percent owned in Yahoo! leagues, so I’m going back to him.

Others To Consider: Matthew Stafford, Los Angeles Rams vs. Seattle Seahawks (confirm health); Will Levis, Tennessee Titans at Jacksonville Jaguars; Jordan Love, Green Bay Packers vs. Los Angeles Chargers; Russell Wilson, Denver Broncos vs. Minnesota Vikings (check availability, Sunday night)

Tight End: Trey McBride, Arizona Cardinals at Houston Texans

After his breakout in Week 8 (10 catches for 95 yards and a touchdown), McBride had an expected dud with Clayton Tune under center for the Cardinals in Week 9 (three catches for 22 yards). But also as should have been expected, the return of Kyler Murray in Week 10 brought a nice rebound (eight receptions for 131 yards). McBride has topped 20 full PPR points in two of the last three games.

In Week 11 McBride gets the Houston Texans, who are allowing the fifth-most fantasy points per game to tight ends this season.

McBride stretches just over the generally-held threshold of 50 percent or higher availability to be streamer. But he’s so widely available I have to go with him as a top tight end streamer for Week 11.

ESPN Ownership: 50.8%
Yahoo! Ownership: 59%

Others To Consider: Luke Musgrave, Green Bay Packers vs. Los Angeles Chargers; Michael Mayer, Las Vegas Raiders at Miami Dolphins; Tyler Conklin, New York Jets at Buffalo Bills; Chigoziem Okonkwo, Tennessee Titans at Jacksonville Jaguars; Pat Freiermuth, Pittsburgh Steelers at Cleveland Browns (confirm health)

Team Defense: Washington Commanders vs. New York Giants

The Commanders traded their two best edge rushers at the trade deadline, and it has shown with just one sack over their last two games. But this unit is in too good a spot for Week 11 to turn away from.

The New York Giants are down to Tommy DeVito under center, with Daniel Jones (torn ACL) out for the season and Tyrod Taylor (ribs) possibly done for the year too. They needed a meaningless late touchdown to get to 17 points in Week 10, and even with that they’ve scored just 33 points over their last three games. If DeVito qualified, his 5.6 percent interception rate and 19.4 percent sack rate would be worst in the league (h/t to numberFire).

In Week 7, with Taylor at quarterback, the Commanders held the Giants to 14 points with four sacks and two fumble recoveries (nine fantasy points).

The Commanders are not a great defense. But they have the best matchup a defense can have in Week 11, and that gives them the edge as my top defense streamer for the week.
