The Pittsburgh Steelers will face the Baltimore Ravens in Week 11. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, especially regarding WR Mike Williams.
Is Mike Williams Playing in Week 11?
Williams is not listed on the injury report this week, so barring any setbacks, he is on track to play this weekend.

Should You Start or Sit Mike Williams in Week 11?
Mike Williams’ addition to this team made all the sense in the world. Of course, that’s easy to say after he posts a game where his PPR fantasy point total (10.2) nearly matches his snap rate (12%), but the logic tracks for a deep threat in a Russell Wilson-led offense void of a WR2.
Williams needs to be rostered, and if you’re stuck this week in a position where you are swinging for the fences, why not go in this direction? The Ravens are the fourth-worst defense against deep passes by EPA, and the fantasy numbers reflect as much. Here are the players to score 10+ points against Baltimore in a game this season solely on passes thrown at least 15 yards down the field:
- Ja’Marr Chase (Week 10): 34 deep points
- Ja’Marr Chase (Week 5): 13.9
- KaVontae Turpin (Week 3): 11.9
- Davante Adams (Week 2): 11.5
- Courtland Sutton (Week 9): 11.5
- Jalen Tolbert (Week 3): 11.4
- Cedric Tillman (Week 8): 10.8
- Elijah Moore (Week 8): 10.7
- Xavier Worthy (Week 1): 10.5
I’m not ranking Williams as a top-30 receiver until we see his role crystalize, but he’s on the shortlist of my favorites to go on a run like what we saw from Alec Pierce in September.
