Though fantasy football owners are thanking the stars that the times of six teams being on a bye are in the past, it’s also time for fantasy teams to make a final push for the postseason. One of the biggest factors in that is finding high-upside plays and hitting on sleepers. Jordan Matthews was a guy who emerged in that light last week. These are 10 sleepers that could score big for fantasy owners in week 11.

Though Stanton is going up against a stout Lions defense as he relieves an injured Carson Palmer again in Arizona, that doesn’t deplete all of his value. This is still an explosive offense with big playmakers on the outside. Stanton could still very well walk away having a nice day.

In the first full game under Sanchez, Matthews had a monster showing on Monday night as he hauled in two scores. He’s still going to likely be second-fiddle to Jeremy Maclin, but Matthews certainly seems to have solid value with Sanchez at the helm in Philadelphia.

Cook’s workload has been inconsistent at best this season. With Shaun Hill taking over, though, that could mean more checkdowns in this offense. Given that and the fact that the Rams are up against a Broncos team that has been vulnerable to being burned by tight ends and Cook is an intriguing play this week.

7. Teddy Bridgewater

After coming out of the gate swinging in his first start, things haven’t gone nearly as swimmingly for Bridgewater. As the Vikings take on a Bears team that seems without hope on the defensive end, though, there’s definitely reason to think the rookie could have a nice showing this week.

The Broncos’ running back situation is messy right now to say the least. Ronnie Hillman may or may not be hampered by injury, Montee Ball is coming back, and guys have been splitting carries. Even with that, though, Anderson’s showing last week could give him an edge and also gives hope to solid production from him moving forward.

Though Evans isn’t a deep sleeper by any stretch, he’s a guy that many people still seem relatively skeptical about as a big-time fantasy option. However, in a great matchup with Washington, he’s a sleeper in regards to being a receiver that could finish in the top-10 when all is said and done this week.

There’s no doubt that the Texans have talent on defense, even if they’ve not been consistent. However, as they take on a depleted Cleveland offensive line, Houston could have a big day on that side of the ball and rack up the stats for your fantasy team.

3. Jerick McKinnon

Other than having touchdowns vultured, McKinnon has done nothing but prove that he can be a legit threat in this league at running back. As the Vikings play the ailing Bears, you like the big-play back’s chances to make something big happen this week.

2. Mychal Rivera

Rivera has been on a tear lately with 21 catches over the past three weeks. This doesn’t seem like something that’s going to stop in Oakland’s offense and it’s time to get on board with Rivera before it’s too late.

Understanding that this is the Mark Sanchez of “Butt Fumble” lore, he’s looked like a new quarterback in Chip Kelly’s offense. Against a Packers defense that’s certainly vulnerable, Sanchez should have a shot at another nice showing in his second start for the Eagles.
