Fantasy football flex fliers: Ride with Rashod Bateman, consider starting Mike Williams in Week 11

New York Times  

Every week, I help you find free-agent pickups that can be added and started after the initial waivers have run in your fantasy football league. The Ravens WR is averaging 16.2 yards per reception, and the Steelers rank 18th in fantasy points per game allowed to WRs over the last four weeks. Seattle ranks 24th in fantasy points per game allowed to WRs and will be heavily concerned with containing the 49ers’ other top playmakers. Las Vegas ranks 28th in fantasy points per game allowed to TEs, and Smith has the fourth-best TE matchup advantage grade on Pro Football Focus for Week 11. Kansas City ranks second in fantasy points per game allowed to TEs, so adding Knox and possibly starting him is highly recommended for those who roster Kincaid.
