With the teams on bye far less impactful this week than last, the fantasy WR rankings in the middle range are likely to determine a matchup or two in your league. Here’s how I stack up the wide receivers for the fantasy football week ahead.

The Top WRs To Start in Week 11
Rashee Rice, Kansas City Chiefs
It feels like we are dangerously close to a full breakout. He scored on the first drive in Germany against the Dolphins, and I was ready. I had tweets drafted, I alerted my family members, I was looking at Rice jersey prices and continuing to workshop nickname options — it was all systems go to celebrate the moment that we’d been waiting a month for.
He caught one pass the rest of the day. Sad Kyle.

The floor has been strong (top 35 in four of his past five games), but can we PLEASE get a breakout on national TV in a Super Bowl rematch? Pretty please?
Speaking of that matchup to end last season, JuJu Smith-Schuster earned 36% of the targets. We’ve seen what he is this season, so the fact that he was able to find space in the short passing game against a version of this pass defense that was better than what the Eagles currently own is noteworthy.
I’m Flexing Rice. Again. Let’s end Week 11 with a bang!
Diontae Johnson, Pittsburgh Steelers
Well, that was disappointing. After posting an average finish of WR17 in his first three games back from injury, Johnson caught just one of four targets (he did have an end-zone target, so that’s a start) against the Packers for a whopping 17 yards.
He’s half a dozen spots lower in my ranks this week than last, but most of that is matchup/schedule-driven. I’m still in. Last week, the Steelers had 13 more rush attempts than passes and were never forced to pass in a significant way — so they didn’t.
I don’t see that being the case this week (or next, for that matter, in Cincinnati), and that has me penciling Johnson back into all my lineups. The 33.3% target share that he posted in Weeks 8-9 wasn’t a mistake, and if the passing pie is larger, I’m trusting Johnson to return value (prefer him to Tyler Lockett, Amari Cooper, and Tank Dell this weekend).
