Josh Allen | Buffalo Bills
The Bills have dropped three of their last five, including an ugly loss to Miami in Week 10, yet Josh Allen still posted a top-10 fantasy finish. Tied with Patrick Mahomes for QB1 in points per game, Allen remains nearly matchup-proof. Tampa Bay ranks fifth against QBs since Week 6 and just held Drake Maye to his worst completion rate of the year, but Buffalo carries the highest implied team total of Week 11. Allen’s ceiling remains elite.
Lamar Jackson | Baltimore Ravens
Still ramping up after a three-game hamstring absence, Lamar Jackson has just 50 rushing yards on 14 carries over the last two games. Cleveland ranks seventh against QBs, making this another tough spot. But with Baltimore fighting for playoff position and Jackson regaining rhythm, his dual-threat ceiling is unmatched.
Tier 2 | High-End QB1 Options
Jalen Hurts | Philadelphia Eagles
After three straight QB1 weeks, Jalen Hurts was held in check by Green Bay on Monday night. Still the QB4 on the season, Hurts draws a favorable rebound matchup versus Detroit. His rushing floor ensures solid production even when passing efficiency dips.
Matthew Stafford | Los Angeles Rams
The QB2 in points per game since Week 7, Matthew Stafford is scorching hot. Seattle’s defense ranks 14th-worst against QBs, setting up another big day for Stafford and his elite WR duo Puka Nacua and Davante Adams.
Patrick Mahomes | Kansas City Chiefs
Coming off his worst outing since the bye, Patrick Mahomes posted under 10 fantasy points against Buffalo. He’ll face another challenge against Denver, the fourth-stingiest defense versus QBs since Week 6. Still, without Patrick Surtain II, the Broncos’ secondary is vulnerable, and Mahomes’ league-leading scramble yardage and 2:1 pass-to-run ratio keep him firmly in the QB1 conversation.
Justin Herbert | Los Angeles Chargers
Before his Week 10 dud, Justin Herbert was the QB1 overall between Weeks 7–9. He gets a prime opportunity to rebound against Jacksonville, who’s surrendered the second-most fantasy points to QBs since Week 7.
Tier 3 | Steady QB1 Options for Week 11
Caleb Williams | Chicago Bears
The QB1 over the past two weeks, Caleb Williams heads to Minnesota to face a defense that’s allowed the tenth-most QB points in the last month. His ceiling remains massive but inconsistency keeps him high-risk/high-reward.
Baker Mayfield | Tampa Bay Buccaneers
After a rough stretch as QB24 before the bye, Baker Mayfield bounced back with three touchdowns against New England. Now he faces a Buffalo defense that ranks first against quarterbacks since Week 4.
Week 11 Quarterback Rankings Tiers 4 – 7
Tier 4 | Fringe Quarterback Starters / Strong QB2 Plays for Week 11
Joe Flacco / Aaron Rodgers | Cincinnati Bengals / Pittsburgh Steelers
In the battle of the 40-year-old vets, Joe Flacco and Aaron Rodgers face off once again. Flacco has been QB1 in points per game since Week 7, while Rodgers sits at QB31. Cincinnati’s defense is dead last against QBs, and Pittsburgh’s is 12th.
J.J. McCarthy | Minnesota Vikings
We’ve seen flashes of brilliance from J.J. McCarthy, but not a full game yet. Chicago’s defense offers a chance to change that, allowing steady production to opposing passers.
Tier 5 | Superflex and Matchup-Based Quarterbacks for Week 11
Bo Nix | Denver Broncos
After lighting up two weak defenses, Bo Nix crashed back to earth versus a middling Raiders squad. Kansas City’s defense has allowed only 24 points over its last three games and is well-rested after the bye.
Tier 6 | Low-End Starters
Marcus Mariota | Washington Commanders
Marcus Mariota put together a respectable Week 10 against Detroit, but he now draws a Miami defense that’s quietly stifling opposing QBs. His rushing ability provides a usable floor, but the Dolphins’ aggressive pass rush limits his upside.

Tier 1 | Elite Running Backs for Week 11
The Best Behind JT
Jonathan Taylor is having a historic season and lapping the field in fantasy production. With the Colts on bye, the elite spotlight shifts to Christian McCaffrey, De’Von Achane, Bijan Robinson, and Jahmyr Gibbs, all averaging 20+ points per game. Each offers dual-threat upside as rushing and receiving weapons, making them automatic starts regardless of matchup.
Tier 2 | Strong RB1s for Week 11
Josh Jacobs | Green Bay Packers
Since Week 4, Josh Jacobs ranks as the RB3 overall, trailing only Jonathan Taylor and Christian McCaffrey. Averaging nearly 21 touches per game with 10 total touchdowns, he’s been the steady heartbeat of the Packers offense. The Giants allow the sixth-most fantasy points per game to running backs, giving Jacobs a locked-in RB1 floor in Week 11.
Ashton Jeanty | Las Vegas Raiders
Javonte Williams | Dallas Cowboys
In the Monday night showdown between two workhorse backs, both Ashton Jeanty (RB12 since Week 4, 77% snap share) and Javonte Williams bring strong RB1 potential. Williams is having his best pro season, averaging 5.5 yards per carry last week, even in one of his lowest fantasy outings. Expect both to be featured heavily in a matchup with one of the week’s highest projected point totals.
Saquon Barkley | Philadelphia Eagles
Regression was inevitable after last season’s monster year, and Saquon Barkley now sits just outside RB1 range with more volatility than fantasy managers would like. Detroit’s bottom-10 defense against RBs provides a get-right opportunity, keeping Barkley in must-start territory.
Rico Dowdle | Carolina Panthers
Rico Dowdle had his quietest performance since taking over as the Panthers’ lead back, and Week 11 doesn’t get easier. Atlanta ranks eighth-best against RBs, allowing minimal room for rushing success. Dowdle remains an RB2 based on volume but faces capped upside.
Tier 3 | Low-End RB1s / High RB2s for Week 11
Jaylen Warren | Pittsburgh Steelers
The Bengals offer an inviting matchup as the fourth-worst defense versus RBs. Jaylen Warren gashed them for 127 yards and four receptions in Week 7, and he’s added two RB1 finishes since Week 6. Another strong outing is well within reach.
D’Andre Swift | Chicago Bears
Back from injury and reclaiming lead duties, D’Andre Swift posted 13 carries for 80 yards plus eight targets in Week 10. While Minnesota ranks as the 14th-toughest defense against RBs, Swift’s heavy passing-game usage gives him a stable floor.
Chase Brown | Cincinnati Bengals|
The Steelers defense has stiffened lately, ranking eighth-best against RBs over the last month, but Chase Brown has thrived with Joe Flacco under center, ranking as RB6 across his past three games. His all-purpose role provides reliable RB2 value.
Week 11 Running Back Tiers 4 – 7
Tier 4 | Solid RB2s for Week 11
Aaron Jones / Jordan Mason | Minnesota Vikings
Aaron Jones returned to form with 167 scrimmage yards and a touchdown the last 2 weeks, giving the Vikings’ offense renewed balance. The Bears have allowed the tenth-most RB points in the last four weeks, setting Jones up as a premium play. Jordan Mason, meanwhile, has totaled just 10 points over his last three games and is a desperation option.
Kimani Vidal | Los Angeles Chargers
Over his last five games, Kimani Vidal has produced three RB1 finishes while averaging 14+ fantasy points per week. Jacksonville’s defense has allowed the ninth-fewest RB points, but Vidal’s workload keeps him in must-start territory.
Woody Marks | Houston Texans
Since his Week 4 breakout, Woody Marks has emerged as a steady RB2, logging four top-16 finishes in six weeks. He torched Tennessee earlier in the season for 119 total yards and two touchdowns, and his 78% snap share last week signals full trust from the coaching staff.
RJ Harvey | Denver Broncos
The rookie RJ Harvey has flashed big-play ability with three RB1 performances this year. With J.K. Dobbins sidelined, Harvey should see expanded work, though Kansas City’s seventh-ranked run defense limits his ceiling.
Tier 5 | RB2/Flex Options for Week 11
Rachaad White | Tampa Bay Buccaneers
After back-to-back RB1 weeks, Rachaad White has cooled off with three straight RB3 finishes, averaging under 10 points. His passing-game involvement (13 targets) keeps him afloat, but facing Buffalo’s top-3 run defense makes him a risky RB2 this week.
Emari Demercado | Arizona Cardinals
Emari Demercado posted over 100 scrimmage yards on just seven touches in Week 10, but this backfield remains a headache. With unclear roles and inconsistent volume, Demercado carries high volatility despite a favorable matchup versus a 49ers defense that’s been 12th-most generous to RBs over the last month.
Zach Charbonnet / Kenneth Walker | Seattle Seahawks
Seattle’s backfield has become a near-even split, but Zach Charbonnet edges Kenneth Walker in red-zone work and efficiency. The Rams’ defense has been stout lately, fourth-best against RBs over the past four weeks, making both backs low-end flex options.
Tyrone Tracy Jr. / Devin Singletary | New York Giants
Without Cam Skattebo, the Giants’ backfield is in flux. Both Tyrone Tracy Jr. and Devin Singletary have posted RB3 numbers over the last two weeks. Green Bay’s top-6 defense versus RBs, paired with uncertainty at quarterback, makes this a messy situation to avoid.
Tier 6 | Deep Flex / Touchdown-Dependent for Week 11
Kareem Hunt | Kansas City Chiefs
Kareem Hunt has been touchdown-dependent all season. Though efficient for Kansas City’s offense, his limited volume and receiving work make him a low-upside flex play against Denver’s improving defense.
Tier 7 | Emergency / Desperation Backs for Week 11
Washington Backfield (Jacory Croskey-Merritt, Chris Rodriguez, Jeremy McNichols)
This three-headed committee remains one of fantasy’s least appealing situations. Jacory Croskey-Merritt leads in carries, Chris Rodriguez gets goal-line looks, and Jeremy McNichols handles passing downs. Even against the eighth-worst defense versus RBs, none offer reliable fantasy value.

Tier 1 | Elite WR1 Options for Week 11
Elite 4
All four of these receivers have 60+ receptions, at least a 28% target share, and average 20+ fantasy points per game, true difference-makers you never bench.
Tier 2 | High-End WR1 Starters for Week 11
Drake London | Atlanta Falcons
In three of his last four games, Drake London has finished as the WR1 overall. His chemistry with Michael Penix Jr. is surgical, and defenses can’t stop it. Carolina brings the #4 ranked defense against WRs, but slowing London down is easier said than done.
CeeDee Lamb / George Pickens | Dallas Cowboys
The WR13 and WR26 over the last three weeks, both CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens have the offense and skillset to explode any week. Against a Raiders defense allowing the sixth-most fantasy points to WRs, both should deliver strong lines.
Rashee Rice | Kansas City Chiefs
Since returning from injury, Rashee Rice has been the WR9, averaging 7 receptions, 72 yards, and a touchdown per game. The Broncos’ top-ranked WR defense will test him, but Rice’s target dominance keeps him locked in as a must-start.
Justin Jefferson | Minnesota Vikings
Post-bye, Justin Jefferson has been a WR2 while averaging only near 13 points per game. The volume is elite (42 targets), but efficiency hasn’t followed, just 22 catches and one TD. Chicago’s bottom-five pass defense gives him a perfect chance to break loose.
Tier 3 | High WR2 Options for Week 11
Nico Collins | Houston Texans
Over the past three games, Nico Collins has 36 targets but only 18 receptions. With Davis Mills feeding him volume again, Collins just logged his best outing of the year (7 for 136). Tennessee’s bottom-10 pass defense should let that momentum roll.
Rome Odunze | Chicago Bears
After a zero in Week 9, Rome Odunze rebounded with another WR1 finish on 10 targets. As the Bears’ top option, he’ll stay heavily involved against a Vikings defense ranked #7 versus WRs.
DK Metcalf | Pittsburgh Steelers
Just five catches for 41 yards over the last two weeks has DK Metcalf trending down, but his big-play upside remains. Cincinnati’s mid-tier secondary (17th vs WRs) offers a chance for Metcalf to rebound with a signature splash week.
Week 11 Wide Receivers Tiers 4 – 8
Tier 4 | High-Variance WR2 Plays for Week 11
Tetairoa McMillan | Carolina Panthers
On pace for 127 targets and over 1,000 yards, Tetairoa McMillan remains the clear WR1 in Carolina. His challenge? Quarterback play. Atlanta’s #6 WR defense limited him to 48 yards in their last meeting, and they’ll key in again.
Deebo Samuel | Washington Commanders
The Commanders’ offense lacks identity, and Deebo Samuel’s numbers reflect it, just 6.3 ppg since Week 6 after three WR1 finishes in five weeks prior. Miami’s top-4 defense against WRs makes him a volatile play.
Khalil Shakir | Buffalo Bills
Leading the Bills in targets, receptions, yards, and touchdowns, Khalil Shakir sits as a solid WR3 (12 ppg). Tampa Bay’s secondary can be beaten, and after a humbling loss, expect Josh Allen to look his way early and often.
Tier 5 | Solid WR3 Plays for Week 11
DeVonta Smith / A.J. Brown | Philadelphia Eagles
Since Week 5, DeVonta Smith (WR5) has overtaken A.J. Brown (WR21) in reliability, though both still possess elite ceilings. Facing Detroit’s defense, which allows the 11th-most WR points, one or both could pop in a big-play shootout.
Tez Johnson | Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Tez Johnson has become Baker Mayfield’s clear #2 WR target recently, scoring four TDs in four games and earning his first WR1 finish. He’s WR17 since Week 7, and with Chris Godwin still sidelined, Johnson’s role remains strong despite a tough Buffalo secondary.
Troy Franklin / Courtland Sutton | Denver Broncos
Since Week 6, Troy Franklin has overtaken Courtland Sutton (40 targets to 28, 4 TDs to 1). A division clash with Kansas City, #1 against WRs, will test both, but Franklin’s ascension continues to intrigue.
Tre Tucker | Las Vegas Raiders
Even with Tyler Lockett seeing more targets in his debut, Tre Tucker remains the Raiders’ most explosive wideout and played every offensive snap. Facing Dallas, who allow the second-most WR points, Tucker brings high-end upside as a Monday-night dart.
Tier 6 | Fringe WR3 / Flex Options
Jakobi Meyers / Parker Washington | Jacksonville Jaguars
Without Brian Thomas Jr., both Jakobi Meyers and Parker Washington remained quiet aside from Washington’s TD. If Thomas returns, the target distribution muddies again. The Chargers’ #2 WR defense further lowers their Week 11 ceilings.
DJ Moore / Luther Burden | Chicago Bears
Aside from a Week 9 rushing/throwing TD fluke, DJ Moore hasn’t delivered a WR2 line all season. Luther Burden is trending up with increased snaps, but both are volatile options. The potential is there, yet the risk is real.
Keenan Allen / Quentin Johnston | Los Angeles Chargers
With Ladd McConkey reclaiming lead status (3 WR1 finishes in last five weeks), both Keenan Allen and Quentin Johnston have cooled. Jacksonville allows the tenth-most WR points, offering bounce-back potential if Justin Herbert finds rhythm.
Rashid Shaheed | Seattle Seahawks
In his Seahawks debut, Rashid Shaheed managed just one catch for three yards while Cooper Kupp, ironically, had a 67 yard catch and run. Expect heavier involvement in a likely shootout with the Rams, a perfect get-right spot.
Tier 7 | Deep League and Bye-Week Fillers
Malik Washington | Miami Dolphins
He’s been active and involved but hasn’t shown weekly reliability. Still, Malik Washington draws one of the three easiest matchups for WRs this week, offering a window for a spike performance.
Calvin Austin | Pittsburgh Steelers
Calvin Austin III continues to see steady volume but little production, totaling just 20 points over the last three games. A shootout with Cincinnati could boost his ceiling, but the floor remains fragile.
Jayden Higgins | Houston Texans
Quietly settling in as Houston’s #2 option, Jayden Higgins has shown upside in 2 of his last 3 games. The consistency isn’t there yet, but his red-zone usage makes him a deep-league flex with upside.
Keon Coleman | Buffalo Bills
Week 10 brought Keon Coleman his highest target share since Week 1, translating to his best fantasy output of the season since the opener. Expect continued involvement as Josh Allen refocuses the offense after last week’s flat showing.
Chimere Dike / Elic Ayomanor | Tennessee Titans
Just when Chimere Dike started to look reliable, he cratered with five yards. Elic Ayomanor remains involved (19 targets in three weeks), but neither has found a rhythm. Against Houston’s disciplined secondary, expectations should stay low.

Trey McBride | Arizona Cardinals
Easily the most reliable tight end in fantasy, Trey McBride delivers double-digit receptions and TE1-overall upside every week. Averaging over two points more per game than the next closest TE, McBride would rank as WR7 in fantasy scoring, a true cheat code no matter the matchup.
Brock Bowers | Las Vegas Raiders
After returning from injury with a monster performance, Brock Bowers followed up with a one-catch dud. Dallas has been average versus TEs, but Bowers is anything but average. Expect him to bounce back as the Raiders’ featured weapon in what projects as a high-scoring Monday night matchup.
Tier 2 | Strong TE1 Plays
George Kittle | San Francisco 49ers
After several quiet weeks, George Kittle erupted for nine receptions, more than his previous three games combined. With Brock Purdy returning, Kittle’s path back to elite form looks clear. The potential return of Ricky Pearsall could slightly cap targets, but Kittle’s arrow is pointing up.
Oronde Gadsden II | Los Angeles Chargers
Last week’s results were underwhelming, but Oronde Gadsden II remained a focal point before exiting with a minor injury. Healthy and practicing in full, he draws Jacksonville, the second-worst defense against TEs, making him a strong bounce-back candidate.
Travis Kelce | Denver Broncos
At 36, Travis Kelce isn’t quite the league-breaking TE he once was, but he remains a steady floor play thanks to his chemistry with Patrick Mahomes. As long as the Chiefs’ passing game drives the offense, Kelce is a weekly starter.
Tier 3 | Low-End TE1 / High-End TE2
Jake Ferguson | Dallas Cowboys
Once the TE1 overall, Jake Ferguson has cooled off, falling behind CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens in target priority. After posting a zero-point game and another quiet outing, Ferguson faces the fourth-toughest defense against TEs in Las Vegas, keeping his floor uncomfortably low.
Harold Fannin Jr. / David Njoku | Cleveland Browns
David Njoku remains touchdown-dependent, while Harold Fannin Jr. continues to see expanding usage, 30 targets in his last four games. Fannin’s volume gives him a sturdy floor and sneaky ceiling if he finds the end zone. Baltimore ranks 12th versus TEs, a neutral matchup.
Cade Otton | Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Coming off his best game of the season (9 catches on 12 targets), Cade Otton may regress if Bucky Irving and Tez Johnson return to larger roles. Still, Otton’s emerging rapport with Baker Mayfield makes him a viable streamer against Buffalo.
Week 11 Tight Ends Tiers 4 – 6
Tier 4 | TE2 Streaming Options
T.J. Hockenson | Minnesota Vikings
With just eight targets across his last three games, T.J. Hockenson has become touchdown-reliant in an unsettled passing offense. Chicago allows the eighth-most fantasy points to TEs, so there’s a glimmer of hope for a rebound.
Mark Andrews | Baltimore Ravens
Three touchdowns on five receptions isn’t sustainable, but with Lamar Jackson back, Mark Andrews always has a multi-TD ceiling. Expect volatility, but boom potential if those limited looks find the end zone.
Tier 5 | Deep-League TE Streamers
Luke Musgrave | Green Bay Packers
In a modest-volume offense, Luke Musgrave should continue to see spot opportunities, especially in the red zone. His size and route ability keep him touchdown-viable even if the weekly volume isn’t there.
Dawson Knox | Buffalo Bills
With Dalton Kincaid ruled out, Dawson Knox becomes a touchdown-or-bust streamer in Buffalo’s high-scoring attack.
Pat Freiermuth / Jonnu Smith | Pittsburgh Steelers
Outside of Pat Freiermuth’s Week 7 explosion, this TE duo has offered little consistency. Both cannibalize each other’s value in an offense too low-volume to support multiple pass-catching TEs.

🧠 Week 11 Fantasy Football Player Rankings Tiers FAQ
Q1: Should fantasy managers trust Caleb Williams again after two big weeks?
A: Caleb Williams has shown elite upside, but inconsistency remains part of the profile. The matchup with Minnesota is strong enough to start him in most formats, but managers should still expect a wide range of outcomes.
Q2: Is Rico Dowdle still a safe RB2 despite the tough Week 11 matchup?
A: Dowdle’s volume keeps him viable, but Atlanta’s top-10 run defense lowers his ceiling. He’s still in RB2 territory, but Week 11 is more floor than explosion week.
Q3: Can Justin Jefferson rebound in Week 11 or should expectations stay modest?
A: Jefferson’s target volume remains elite. Chicago’s bottom-five pass defense boosts his chances of getting back to WR1 territory, even if efficiency has been shaky the past two games.
Q4: What should managers do with Zach Charbonnet and Kenneth Walker in a tough matchup?
A: Both backs are locked in a near-even split and face a Rams defense that’s been top-five against RBs lately. They’re playable only as low-end flex options unless game script unexpectedly swings their way.
Q5: Is Brock Bowers a must-start after last week’s dud?
A: Bowers’ role and talent remain unchanged. His usage still projects as feature-level, and the matchup with Dallas is neutral enough to keep him in locked-in TE1 territory.
Q6: Should managers keep rolling with Tre Tucker despite Las Vegas’ crowded WR room?
A: Tucker remains the Raiders’ most explosive option and continues to play every snap. A matchup with a Dallas defense allowing the second-most WR points gives him legitimate spike-week upside.
