Week 11 Start/ Sit Part 3: WRs

For the previous part:
Week 11 Start/ Sit Part 1: QBs
Week 11 Start/ Sit Part 2: RBs

An expanded version with players from readers' feedback included will be posted on Saturday. This is Part 3 of the starts and sits for Week 11:


WR

Start 'Em

Jordy Nelson (vs. Buccaneers)- as with DeMarco Murray, Nelson is getting really close to a must start every week no matter the matchup. He will be facing a Tampa Bay pass defense that is ranked #28 in the NFL. Nelson should have no problem posting up huge numbers again in Week 11.

Brandon Marshall (vs. Bills)- Marshall has had a good but not great rebound season. He needs to drop the ball especially in the redzone. Even with all the drops and the change to Matt Moore at quraterback, he is still putting up good numbers recently to the tune of 15 receptions for 204 yards and a touchdown in the last 2 weeks. He should have his way with Buffalo's secondary this Sunday.

Denarius Moore (at Vikings)- Moore had a huge game in last week's Thursday Night Football against the Chargers after Jacoby Ford's injury. He looks to be the the No. 1 receiver on the Raiders, at least headed into this weekend. As mentioned in Week 11 Adds, Oakland's receiving situation is not easy to predict. As unlikely as it seems after the past couple of weeks, Darrius Heyward-Bay could go back to being the top receiver on the team that he was before the bye week. At least for this week, Moore is at the top in a great matchup facing Minnesota's terrible secondary.

Sit 'Em

Mike Williams (at Packers)- Williams has been unable to build on his great rookie season and a complete disappointment in this, his sophomore season. As mentioned when discussing Josh Freeman in Part 1, on paper this looks like a great matchup going up against a bad Green Bay secondary in a game playing catch-up, but Williams has been unable to take advantage of great matchups this season at all.

Eric Decker (vs. Jets)- Decker has emerged as the Broncos No. 1 receiver in recent weeks following the trade of Brandon Lloyd. Demaryius Thomas has probably the most upside, but he has done nothing since Week 7 against the Dolphins when he was Tim Tebow's favorite target. Eddie Royal has been more involved in the offense recently to the point of even getting some carries, but he is a fantasy non-factor so far. Out of the three for Week 11 against New York, Decker would the only one that should be started if it was not for Darrelle Revis. Decker being in Revis Island, on a team that does not pass the ball much, will not lead to good numbers in Week 11.

Santonio Holmes (at Broncos)- Holmes has been having a good season even when the rest of the Jets passing game appears to be going nowhere, but he should be avoided if possibly this week against Denver. This week he will face shutdown corner Champ Bailey who has been great this season. There are conflicting reports on whether Bailey will shadow Holmes or Plaxico Burress, but smart money would be on Holmes. If that's the case then Holmes could be in for a bad week.
