Who Should I Start? Cooper Kupp or Amon-Ra St. Brown

Cooper Kupp (hamstring/wrist) looks like he will play on Sunday against the Los Angeles Rams. Kupp was a question mark entering this week, but he did enough during practice to receive the go-ahead.. Unfortunately, Kupp should be overlooked as a fantasy option. The volume simply is not there for the veteran. To make matters worse, the Rams are one of the better defenses in the NFL. This does not project to necessarily be a high-volume passing game between two teams with stellar defenses. Kupp has exceeded three targets on just three occasions this season. With the addition of wide receiver Rashid Shaheed at the trade deadline, Kupp figures to cede more volume in this offense. Seattle may give Kupp chances to prove to his old team that he still has what it takes in this league, but do not bank on that narrative. You are better off with Kupp on your bench this week.

Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown has been one of the most productive pass-catchers in the NFL so far this season, hauling in 64 catches for 693 yards and eight touchdowns on 82 targets across nine games played. However, the Lions have a difficult matchup in Week 11 when they travel to Philadelphia to take on the Eagles. Through 10 weeks, Philadelphia's defense is tied with the Denver Broncos for the fewest receiving touchdowns allowed (eight) in the league. Still, St. Brown should have plenty of chances to make his mark in Week 11 as the clear lead weapon in the Detroit passing game. Additionally, the 26-year-old's already sizable target share could get even bigger due to the absence of tight end Sam LaPorta (back). St. Brown profiles as a must-start fantasy wide receiver in Week 11 against Philadelphia.
