Should I Start Tyler Lockett For Fantasy Football?
Lockett is the WR25 for the year, averaging 10.9 half-point PPR fantasy points per game. The former Kansas State star has 49 receptions on 67 targets for 494 receiving yards and four touchdowns this season. He is coming off an outstanding performance against the Washington Commanders, totaling 92 receiving yards, a touchdown, and 19.2 half-point PPR fantasy points.
This week, he faces the Rams in a decent fantasy football matchup for the wide receiver. Los Angeles has surrendered 25.1 fantasy points per game to wide receivers, slightly below the league average. However, the Rams have held wide receivers to only four receiving touchdowns this year.
Fantasy players should consider Lockett a mid-range WR3 in Week 11.
Should I Start Deebo Samuel For Fantasy Football?

Tampa Bay has surrendered 33.5 fantasy points per game to wide receivers, the fourth-most in the NFL.

Dotson is the WR48 for the year, averaging 7.1 half-point PPR fantasy points per game. The former Penn State star has 34 receptions on 59 targets for 360 receiving yards and three touchdowns this season. Unfortunately, he has scored zero fantasy points in two of his past five matchups, including last week.
This week, he faces the Giants in an appealing fantasy football matchup for the wide receiver. New York has surrendered 34 fantasy points per game to wide receivers, the third-most in the NFL.
