QB - Bryce Young (CAR)

Mentioned in : Cutting the Cord, Waiver Wire Drops: Week 11

• Bryce Young's fantasy upside has significantly diminished this season, with only three of nine games producing multiple touchdowns, indicating a struggling offensive performance.

• His rushing potential, which was pronounced late in 2024, has dramatically decreased. After a 40-yard rushing explosion in Week 1, Young has managed only 44 rushing yards in the subsequent eight games.

• The combination of limited passing touchdowns and minimal rushing production makes Young a questionable fantasy option in shallow formats, suggesting managers should consider alternative quarterback strategies.

• Our take: I ran our sentiment analysis on all of his summaries from the last 21 days and he came back as a -6 (on a scale of -10 to +10). That’s one of the lowest scores I’ve found. He’s a recommended SELL for both contenders and rebuilders. Below are all the players around Bryce in our consensus rankings; I’d take all of these players straight up for him and would honestly be willing to add more in some cases:

WR - Deebo Samuel (WAS)

Mentioned in : Fantasy Football Warning Signals for Week 11? Zach Charbonnet, Nick Chubb, Deebo Samuel Sr., Cade Otton

• Deebo Samuel Sr. has experienced a significant decline in production since Week 6, dropping from an early-season average of 17.7 PPR points per game to just 8.0 PPR points per game in recent weeks.

• The quarterback change from Jayden Daniels to Marcus Mariota has negatively impacted Samuel's performance, with a slower offensive pace and fewer pass attempts reducing his opportunities for impact.

• In Week 11, Samuel faces an additional challenge against the Miami Dolphins, who have allowed the fourth-fewest PPR points to opposing wide receivers, further diminishing his potential fantasy value.

• Our take: Things aren’t looking great for Deebo. It’s hard to imagine he’d get much interest from contenders in trades right now. For what it’s worth, we have him valued at just above a 2027 Late 2nd or a 2028 Mid 2nd. If any news about a Jayden Daniels return comes out, that might be your best bet to sell.

WR - Courtland Sutton (DEN)

Mentioned in : Fantasy Football Risers and Fallers - Week 11 (2025)

• Sutton's status as the Broncos' No. 1 wide receiver is being challenged by Troy Franklin, who has significantly outperformed Sutton since Week 5, receiving 41 targets compared to Sutton's 29, and averaging higher fantasy points per game.

• In Week 10, Franklin received nine targets compared to Sutton's four, continuing a trend of declining production that has seen Sutton ranked as the WR48 in recent weeks, with underwhelming performances against various defensive matchups.

• Sutton's fantasy prospects are further complicated by Bo Nix's regression in his second season and the Broncos' defensive effectiveness, making it challenging for Sutton to maintain WR1 or even consistent WR2 status.

• Our take: A couple of factors working against Sutton here. I don’t think he is as bad as the floor he has shown in recent weeks. But at the same time, I don’t know how many more ceiling games we should expect from him for the rest of the year. He’s a tough player to value (and predict) right now. For that reason, I’m avoiding him.

WR - Tetairoa McMillan (CAR)

Mentioned in: Fantasy Football Trade Analyzer: 8 players you should buy or sell in Week 11

• McMillan has struggled with consistent fantasy production, not finding the end zone in nine of his ten appearances, with his only multi-touchdown game coming in a soft matchup against the Cowboys in Week 6.

• The rookie's performance is significantly impacted by Bryce Young's inconsistent quarterback play, which has been dragging down the Panthers' passing attack and limiting McMillan's fantasy potential.

• Despite showing promise for a future NFL career, McMillan is currently viewed as a low-ceiling WR3 with a challenging upcoming schedule including games against the Falcons, Rams, and Seahawks, making him a potential trade candidate if a manager offers WR2 or RB2 value.

• Our take: Tet’s appearance in this newsletter has more to due with the guy we led with tonight (Bryce Young) than his actual ability on the field. I definitely wouldn’t sell low on Tet, but you could get a good haul for him if you’re contending. We have him at 34 overall in our consensus rankings, right by names like Nico Collins (31 OVR), Bucky Irving (35 OVR), James Cook (37 OVR), and Saquon Barkley (39 OVR) — all guys who should hold more value than him down the stretch.

WR - Jordan Addison (MIN)

Mentioned in: Fantasy Football: 'Bill' leads fades for Week 11 - and it might be time to bench him for good

• Jordan Addison's fantasy performance has dramatically dropped with J.J. McCarthy as quarterback, averaging just 2.5 catches and 41.5 yards per game, with no touchdowns, compared to his previous strong performances with Carson Wentz (5.3 catches, 77.3 yards, two touchdowns).

• Despite a seemingly favorable matchup against Chicago, the article notes there's no evidence yet that Addison can be trusted with McCarthy as the quarterback, referencing McCarthy's previous game against the Bears where the second wide receiver caught just one pass for 28 yards.

• While not a 'must-bench' player, Addison is characterized as a low-end WR3 with a risky floor, requiring a McCarthy breakout and potential touchdown fortune to return WR2 value.

• Our take: It’ll be hard to trust Addison for the rest of the year with McCarthy. It will be really interesting to see how the rest of this year plays out and how long of a leash McCarthy will have going into next year. I still think Addison is a BUY for the long-term, but it might be a bumpy ride for a bit. We have him worth just above a 2027 Late 1st in our consensus rankings.
