Wide receivers Jaylen Waddle and Bradon Aiyuk are two of the most intriguing fantasy options in Week 11. Waddle and the Miami Dolphins are coming off a bye week after losing to the Kansas City Chiefs the week before.
The San Francisco 49ers and Aiyuk returned from their bye last week and picked up a dominant 34-3 road victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Both Waddle and Aiyuk are two of the best WRs in the NFL and are part of the best-receiving cores in the NFL.
Waddle has recorded 40 catches for 522 yards and three touchdowns this season. On the other hand, Aiyuk has recorded 38 catches for 675 yards and three touchdowns this season.

Is Jaylen Waddle a good fantasy pick in Week 11?
Jaylen Waddle returns from a bye week to face the Las Vegas Raiders. They have a strong defense, ranking 13th in points allowed (20.5), 18th in yards allowed (334.3), and eighth in pass defense (198.7).
Miami enters Sunday's contest with the best overall offense in the league. They rank first in points per game (31.7) and yards per game (435.3) and have the best pass offense in the league.
Miami is well-rested following their bye, and despite a loss, they could come into this game with a head full of steam. Tyreek Hill and Waddle might both have big games.
Is Brandon Aiyuk a good fantasy pick in Week 11?
Bradon Aiyuk could have a big game this Sunday vs. the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Although the Buccaneers have the eighth-best scoring defense in the league, allowing only 19.2 points per game to rival offenses, they allow a lot of yards. They are ranked 24th in yards allowed (354.1), and they allow the second-most passing yards per game (266.9).
In the last two games, Aiyuk has recorded eight receptions for 164 yards and a touchdown. This season, he's been averaging 17.8 yards per catch and has the ability to turn any play into a big one.
