7 Deep Fantasy Football Sleepers for Week 11
Eli Manning has a super soft matchup with the Bucs on Sunday. What other low-owned options are worth a play in Week 11?

Jonnu Smith, TE, Tennessee Titans

Yahoo! Ownership: 5%

Ever since Delanie Walker was lost for the year with a knee injury in Week 1, the Tennessee Titans’ offense has been looking for Jonnu Smith to step up. The 23-year-old tight end played 85% of offensive snaps in Weeks 2 through 6, but he was targeted just 6 times. Since Week 7, though, Smith’s production has spiked as the Titans' offense has finally clicked.

In the last three games, Smith has been targeted eight times, including four times in the red zone. Each week, his yardage total has progressively risen -- up to a season-high 43 yards last week. Smith also comes into Week 11 with a two-game touchdown streak. Facing the Colts on Sunday, Smith has a good shot at continuing his upswing.

The Colts have allowed the 10th-most PPR fantasy points and the 5th-most receptions and receiving yards to tight ends this season. Their pass defense also ranks 27th in the league, per our metrics.

Smith could have plenty of chances to score again with the Titans on a roll offensively. They are averaging 27.0 points across their last three games, while the Colts' D has given up 29.3 points per game since Week 4, with each opposing offense but the Buffalo Bills scoring at least 26 points.
