8 Fantasy Football Sleepers for Week 11
James Starks, RB, Green Bay Packers
Even with the signing of Christine Michael, we should still be on James Starks as the running back to start from the Green Bay Packers -- at least this week.
Starks is nothing special as a runner, but running back is all about opportunity and situation, both of which working in his favor. The Packers clearly have some amount of faith in him -- he played 91% of the snaps when Eddie Lacy missed in Week 5, and then in his first game back from injury, Starks played 71% of the Packers' offensive snaps in Week 10. He gets an extra bump in value in point-per-reception (PPR) leagues, where his 10 targets over his last two games help contribute to a safe floor.
Starks has an excellent matchup this week as Washington ranks 22nd in Adjusted Defensive Rushing NEP per carry while they have also allowed top-10 fantasy production to opposing running backs on the season.
