7 Deep Fantasy Football Sleepers for Week 11

Bruce Ellington, WR, Houston Texans

Yahoo! Ownership: 4%

Primarily used as a kick returner in his first two NFL seasons, Bruce Ellington has gotten a chance to show off his receiving skills with the Houston Texans this season. He has more catches (19) and yards (231) in eight games than he had in two whole seasons with the San Francisco 49ers. While the 26-year-old has played the most snaps of any Texans' receiver not named DeAndre Hopkins, it hasn't been until the last two weeks (with Tom Savage at quarterback) that Ellington has started to see significant production.

With 16 total targets, 7 catches, 63 yards, and 1 touchdown against the Colts and Rams, Ellington has given the Texans someone they can count on this Sunday with Will Fuller out with a rib injury. The Cardinals -- Houston's opposition this week -- rank in the bottom eight of the NFL in passing yards and fantasy points (to wide receivers) allowed per game. With Hopkins expected to be shadowed by Patrick Peterson, there may be extra targets for Ellington in an expanded role in Week 11.
