It’s getting down to crunch time in fantasy football land. These next couple weeks determine playoff and non-playoff rosters.
There are a number of key teams on byes this week, which may require fantasy managers to look for a flex play this weekend. Those who have the fantasy studs on the Miami Dolphins, like myself, are looking for some help this week.
Take a look at our picks below for flex plays to help you get past your Week 11 matchup.

Arizona Cardinals WR Rondale Moore
For those who don’t have Rondale Moore stashed, it’s time to pick him up or make a buy-low trade.
Moore is very quickly emerging as an excellent player both on the field and in fantasy lineups. He’s solidified himself as the Cardinals’ top slot receiver option and receives plenty of targets.
Moore’s last three games include point totals of 23.4, 14.9 and 18.4 in full PPR leagues. He receives a ton of volume in Kliff Kingsbury’s screen game and in the short passing attack.
While his targets may go down with the return of Hollywood Brown, the number of snaps he will play returning from injury this Monday remains in question.
Washington Commanders RB Brian Robinson
Robinson is one of the most inspiring comeback stories in recent memory, as he’s returned to action on the field after being shot just a few months ago.
Last week against the Eagles. Robinson had 26 rushing attempts and 14.6 fantasy points. While that isn’t exactly great yards per carry, the 26 attempts are extremely promising against the 32nd-ranked Texans rush defense this week.
Robinson is worth stashing as he slowly takes the mantle from Antonio Gibson. If he becomes the lead back come playoff time, he’ll be an excellent asset to have.
Kansas City Chiefs WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling
Valdes-Scantling is set to receive an increase in carries, as the Chiefs will be without two of their top receiving options in JuJu Smith-Schuster and Mecole Hardman.
Coming off a 15 points performance last week, Valdes-Scantling could be a solid flex play this week against an injury-riddled Chargers defense. He’s available in most leagues and has had 14+ points three times this season.
While I don’t love this play as much as the other two, it’s definitely a solid play.
