Who Should I Start? DeVonta Smith or Jahmyr Gibbs

Friday, November 14, 10:37 PM

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith is looking more and more like the true first option in the Philly passing game after outperforming and out-snapping A.J. Brown against the Packers. Smith has now led his team in receiving yards in five of their nine contests-including the last three in a row-while Brown has done so only once. In Week 11, the Lions travel to Lincoln Financial Field boasting a defense that has not allowed a 100-yard receiver in their last four games. Smith has put up more than 14 points in PPR formats in four of his last five performances, but he'll have his work cut out for him on Sunday night. His target numbers have gotten higher and more consistent after the first four weeks of the season, making him a more reliable WR2 for this week and the foreseeable future.

Detroit Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs dominated the Washington Commanders in Week 10, recording 172 scrimmage yards and three touchdowns on 18 touches. He'll now face a significantly tougher test in Week 11 when the Lions travel to Philadelphia to take on the Eagles. The Eagles' defense is a mid-pack unit in yards per carry allowed (4.4). However, they rank in the top ten in the NFL in per-game opponent scoring (21.3 points per game). One possible boost for Gibbs' fantasy value in Week 11 is his potential for receiving work. The Lions will be without tight end Sam LaPorta (back) against Philadelphia, which could put Gibbs in position for more targets. Even in a tough matchup, Gibbs profiles as a must-start fantasy running back in Week 11.
