Terry McLaurin got off to a slow start to the 2024 fantasy football season with the Washington Commanders, finishing outside of the top 50 weekly wide receivers in each of his first two games. He has bounced back in a big way since then, finishing as the WR20 or better in seven of his past eight games.
His impressive stretch has resulted in McLaurin ranking as the overall WR5 entering Week 11, despite his unproductive start to the year, He will look to carry that momentum into a difficult matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles' solid passing defense.
Is A.J. Brown a good fantasy pick in Week 11?
A.J. Brown has missed three games for the Philadelphia Eagles this year due to injury, but he has been spectacular in fantasy football when he has been healthy. He has finished as the WR7 or better in three of his six games so far and has exceeded 100 yards three times already.
Brown has consistently been a focal point of the Eagles' offense this season, recording at least five receptions in all but one of his games so far. He will look to continue that role against the Commanders in Week 11, where he has a relatively favorable matchup against a mediocre defense.
Terry McLaurin or A.J. Brown: Who should I start in Week 11 fantasy football?
A.J. Brown is the recommended wide receiver to use in Week 11 fantasy football lineups over Terry McLaurin. Both of the star wideouts offer plenty of upside in a potential shootout between two elite offenses on Thursday Night Football, but Brown gets the edge as the preferred pick.
Sportskeeda's Who Should I Start tool predicts that Brown will outscore McLaurin by nearly three fantasy points in PPR scoring formats. He has received superior projections in receptions and receiving yards, while also being more likely to score a touchdown. His matchup is also more favorable, contributing to him being the better option in Week 11 lineups.
