Week 11 of the 2024 fantasy football season has arrived and managers must begin working on their starting lineups. Jakobi Meyers and Jerry Jeudy have emerged as two legitimate wide receivers to target after they have increased their output in recent weeks. They both carry some upside, but here's which one is a better pick this week.
Is Jakobi Meyers a good fantasy pick in Week 11?
Meyers has improved his fantasy value since the Las Vegas Raiders traded Davante Adams to the New York Jets. He has seen a significant increase in his workload after his role was elevated, including 14 receptions on 18 targets for 157 yards and a touchdown across his past two games.
This has resulted in Meyers finishing as the WR22 and WR17 in those two games, putting him in the range of a WR2 on many fantasy football rosters. He will carry that momentum into a Week 11 matchup against the Miami Dolphins, with a potentially favorable game script that could produce many passing attempts.
Is Jerry Jeudy a good fantasy pick in Week 11?
Jeudy is in a similar situation as Meyers as he has also recently been elevated to the WR1 on his team's depth chart. He received this role when the Cleveland Browns traded Amari Cooper to the Buffalo Bills and he has responded by turning in his two most productive games of the 2024 fantasy football season.
Jeudy has 12 receptions on 19 targets for 152 yards during the two-game stretch and set season-highs in receiving yards in both of them. He will look to build off of his increased output in Week 11 against the New Orleans Saints' shaky defense that recently traded top cornerback Marshon Lattimore.
Jakobi Meyers or Jerry Jeudy: Who should I satrt in Week 11 fantasy football?
Jerry Jeudy is the recommended wide receiver to use in Week 11 fantasy football lineups over Jakobi Meyers. Both of them carry upside in their newly elevated roles that have produced positive results, but Jeudy gets the slight edge this week.
Sportskeeda's Who Should I Start tool predicts that he will outscore Meyers by just a fraction of a fantasy point, which shows how close their values are. His advantage in yardage projections is the main reason why he is the preferred pick.
