Welcome to Week 11! The fantasy football playoff push is here, and hopefully you’re in decent position. Either way, read on for some help with those tough Week 11 lineup decisions.
Week 10 was pretty crazy, even by NFL standards. Heading into the Monday night game, a new record was already set, with 5 games decided by a winning field goal as time expired. Denver was all set to extend that record to 6, but alas, the kick from Will Lutz sailed wide right, and the Bills wi…. But wait! Yellow laundry! The Broncos were the ones who had to rush to get the snap off in time, but it was the Bills who inexplicably had 12 men on the field, and their considerable efforts to hand-deliver the game to the Broncos continued. Denver accepted Buffalo’s largesse, and with Lutz 5 yards closer, the winning kick sailed through as the clock hit triple zeros. And so, in the end we did get a 6th game that ended with a walk-off FG. Amazing!
Another big storyline from the week is that C.J. Stroud is even better than we thought, and it’s not totally crazy to start including him in the MVP discussion, now that he’s locked up OROY. Oh, and one pleasant surprise on the fantasy side: Despite some of the top names in fantasy being on a BYE, there was no shortage of points in Week 10, thanks in large part to DET, LAC, SEA, WAS, JAC, and the NYG playing absolutely no defense to speak of. Good times! Four more teams are on BYE this week, but we should get plenty of scoring again. Oh, and in case you hadn’t heard, we’ve got a Super Bowl rematch this week as Philly travels to KC seeking revenge. This just in —there’s a Kelce brother on each team! Who knew?
****** WEEK 11 WAIVER WIRE COLUMN: Waiver Wire Week 11 . *******
Week 10 Stats of the Week:
Every team in the AFC North is over .500, and no team in the NFC South is over .500.
Through 10 weeks, the “under” are a very $$trong 88-60.
In their 2 games this season, the Cowboys outscored the Giants 89-17.
First half first downs: Dallas 20, NYG 1; First half yards per play: Dallas 8; NYG .8, and at one point in this “contest” Big D was outgaining Big Blue by more than 500 yards.
CeeDee Lamb is the first player in the Super Bowl era to have 3 straight games with 10+ catches and 150+ receiving yards.
The Steelers have been outgained in every game this season, and they’re 6-3.
The Patriots are the first team in 12 years to rush for more than 150 yards, hold their opponent to 10 points or less, and lose.
If the Patriots lose one more game this season, they’ll have a losing record for just the 4th time in Bill Belichick’s 24 seasons as their Head Coach. The common denominator of those losing seasons? No Tom Brady as the starting QB.
C.J. Stroud and Cam Newton are the only rookie QBs to throw for more than 800 yards in a 2 game span.
Stroud is currently leading the league in passing yards per game (291). No rookie has led the NFL in that stat since the movie Gone with the Wind was released (1939).
Dak Prescott has 3 straight games with 300+ passing yards and 3+ TDs. Only 3 QBs have had longer streaks in the SB era: Steve Young (5), Patrick Mahomes (4), and Peyton Manning (4).
On Sunday, Justin Herbert passed both Peyton Manning and Dan Marino and now has the most passing yards in a player’s first 4 seasons.
Ravens’ rookie RB Keaton Mitchell has 177 yards and 2 TDs on just 10 career carries. We haven’t seen anything like this since…a month ago (fellow rookie De’Von Achane, with 38 carries for 460 yards and 5 TDs to start his career).
Josh Allen is tied with Tua for the NFL lead in TD passes (19), and he leads NFL QBs in interceptions (11). Only 3 QBs in the Super Bowl era have led the league (or been tied for the league lead) in both categories in the same season (Drew Brees, Lynn Dickey, and Brian Sipe…Raise your hand if you expected to see the name Jameis Winston).
Myles Garrett is one of 7 players to record double-digit sacks in 6 straight seasons (sacks became an official stat in 1982).
The Vikings have won 5 straight games, all without Justin Jefferson. They were 1-4 with Jefferson in the lineup.
The Jets have not scored a TD in their last 11 quarters of football, covering 34 possessions.
More Meadowlands futility: The Jets and Giants have combined to score just 19 offensive TDs and 262 total points, in 19 combined games played. Miami has scored 37 offensive TDs and 285 total points, in 9 games played.
The Chiefs were off this week, but with Nick Folk missing a kick, Harrison Butker is now the only kicker who is perfect on the season (min. 10 attempts): 18-18 FGs and 22-22 PATs. Dallas rookie Brandon Aubrey missed a PAT in week 1, but otherwise is perfect on the season (19-19 FGs, 26-27 PATs).
The Raiders have the same record (5-5) as the Bills. Really.

Week 11 Rides, Fades, and Sleepers
INTRO
For those who are familiar with this column, you know the drill. For everyone else - The Rides, Fades, and Sleepers is an analysis of players that I think are primed for an especially strong or poor performance, in many cases, as compared to consensus expectations. This isn’t a straight-up Start/Sit exercise, and as a general rule, always start your studs. I’ll rarely list the very top options at a position as “Rides” because those players are matchup-proof and are almost always expected to have strong performances, plus you don’t need me or anyone else telling you to start Hurts, CMC, Chase, or Kelce every week. While this analysis is intended for season-long play, it works for DFS formats too. Half PPR scoring and Expert Consensus Rankings (ECR) are used for the column.
Each week, I’m picking a Ride of the Week, a Fade of the Week, and a Sleeper of the Week at QB, RB, WR, and TE. The rules: The Ride of the Week can’t be a truly elite option, the Fade of the Week can’t be someone who almost nobody is starting anyway, and the Sleeper of the Week has to be an actual sleeper, from down in the rankings.
Week 10 was another good one for the Rides, Fades and Sleepers. The bad: The Sleepers of the week were mostly a miss. The good: For the second straight week, the Fades of the Week were very on point, and included some big names who are hard to sit. Lamar Jackson (15 pts), Saquon Barkley (6.6), Davante Adams (11.6) and David Njoku (8.8) all had sub-par games, and in most cases you were probably better off sitting them for someone else on your roster. You can check all of my work here: Fantasy-preview-week-10 .
Josh Dobbs, Miracle Worker
QB:
Elite options - Mahomes and Hurts; the analysis starts below these 2.
Rides and Sleepers:
QB Ride of the Week: Tua (vs. LV). The Raiders are rejuvenated under interim HC Antonio Pierce, but those 2 wins were at home against the putrid and anemic offenses of the Jets and Giants. Now the Raiders have to travel east for a 1pm game against a rested juggernaut offense. The Dolphins will have De’Von Achane back, and Tua and Co. should be in for a big day as they try to move past the disappointment of that loss to KC in Germany.
Other Rides:
I’m high on all 4 of the QBs ranked 7-10 this week (high as in, I think all 4 have a great shot at a top-5 finish this week), so I’ll list them all at once: C.J. Stroud (vs. ARI), J. Goff (vs. CHI), J. Herbert (@GB), and B. Purdy (vs. TB). All except Herbert have excellent matchups, but Herbert has a secret weapon which is that the Chargers’ defense is so wretched that he’ll have to keep slinging it all afternoon. NOTE: If Keenan Allen (shoulder) is out, then Herbert takes a pretty big hit.
Moving outside the Top 12, give me Sam Howell (vs. NYG) this week. He’s been a fringe QB1 all season, and this week he’ll be at home, facing a Giants’ defense that just got completely carved up by Dak Prescott and the Dallas WRs and TEs. The Big Blue defense isn’t that bad, but without a real NFL offense to complement them, they’re being completely overworked, and it’s too much to ask.
What does Josh Dobbs (@DEN) need to do to get respect from the “experts”? He’s scored right around 25 fantasy points each of the last 3 weeks, and he’s the QB15 in this week’s consensus rankings? Wait, what? Despite the craziness of his circumstances (being rushed into different 2 starting gigs), Dobbs is the QB7 on the season. He trails only Lamar Jackson in QB rushing yards, and only Josh Allen and Jalen Hurts in QB rushing TDs. Denver is playing much better these days, but I don’t really care. At this point, Dobbs is a must-start each week. Oh, and the Vikings might get Justin Jefferson back this week.
QB Sleeper of the Week: Jordan Love (vs. LAC). I’m shocked that he’s ranked as the QB18 this week. He’ll be facing the Chargers, who’ve allowed the most passing yards and the third most fantasy points per game (FPPG) to QBs. Green Bay will need to score in the high 20s (at least) to win this game.
Other Sleepers: If you need a QB2 this week in your Superflex league, good luck. There aren’t many lower-end QBs who you can trust, and who have good matchups. Russ Wilson (vs. MIN) has been getting it done and he’s ranked outside the Top 15 this week. Matt Stafford (vs. SEA) hasn't had a ton of fantasy success this season, but it’s a good matchup and I think you can fire him up if you need him. If you’re really stuck, Aidan O’Connell (@MIA) might be OK this week, in a game where the Raiders figure to be trying to keep up, but the Miami defense is rounding into form.
Fades:
QB Fade of the Week: Joe Burrow (@BAL). Would I bench Burrow this week? Well, it depends on who else I’ve got, of course, but there are at least a dozen guys I’d play over him this week. I hate the matchup. The Ravens collapsed in the second half last week while getting lit up by Deshaun Watson, and you can bet that they’ll be fired up. Thursday night games tend to be lower scoring defensive battles, and I’m expecting that this week. Tee Higgins is out, which doesn’t help and should allow the Ravens to shade coverage to Chase. Baltimore has allowed the fewest FPPG and passing TDs to QBs this season.
Other Fades:
Justin Fields (@DET) is back, and the Lions’ pass defense just got torched in a road shootout with the Chargers, but this game is in Detroit and I think it’s going to be a rough return for Fields. I’d wait a week.
Geno Smith (@LAR). Smith finally broke out in the second half last week, but he was massively aided on a 64 yard TD that was all Ken Walker and very little Geno. The Rams have been surprisingly stingy vs. the pass (just 9 TD passes allowed), and I fear another down week for Geno.
Trevor Lawrence (vs. TEN) has been hearing it all week, after a horrible outing vs. the 49ers. You just don’t expect to see a performance like that for a so-called elite QB coming off a bye. Will he step up against a so-so Titans’ defense? Maybe, but he’s been hard to trust and I can understand if you want to pivot away to a safer option. The number don’t lie: Lawrence hs thrown only 9 TD passes in 9 games, is the QB18 on the season, and has yet to have a 20 point outing. That’s hard to believe, but more to the point for fantasy managers, it makes it hard to click on him for your starting lineup.
Baker Mayfield (@SF). Baker has been excellent of late (he’s the QB6 over the last 4 weeks, with a floor of 17 fantasy points in that stretch), but this week is a tough ask. The 49ers’ defense was suffocating at Jacksonville last week, and the addition of Chase Young has the chance of elevating this unit to what we all expected it to be. The 49ers have struggled vs. the pass at times this year, but it feels like they’re coming around as a unit and I’m scared to roll out Baker on the road against this defense.
It’s a tough week for the lower-end QBs, as noted above. Outside of the obvious names who nobody should be starting (such as the 2 New York City area QBs and DTR), I’d be especially leery of rolling out K. Pickett (@ CLE), B. Young (vs. DAL), and W. Levis (@JAC).
One Pride and Two Fantasy RBs You Can Start
RB:
Elite options - CMC and Ekeler; the analysis starts below these 2.
Rides and Sleepers:
RB Ride of the Week: Aaron Jones (vs. LAC). This one is a little risky since Jones has only had one good game since returning from injury. I think Jones is finally close to 100%, and that a big game is in the offing, Jones has seen at least 5 targets in 4 straight contests, and the Chargers can’t play defense. They’re bottom 10 vs. the run.
Other Rides:
Brian Robinson (vs. NYG). Robinson is the RB4 on the season, in total points. Really! Part of that ranking is simply because he’s stayed healthy, but still, he’s been solid. The Giants are a disaster, with an offense that can’t get first downs, meaning the defense is constantly on the field. Washington should control the clock in this one, and with Antonio Gibson doubtful, Robinson should see a big workload. Fire him up with confidence as a fringe RB1.
Raheem Mostert and De’Von Achane (vs. LV) and Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery (vs. CHI). Remember how you could start both E. Elliott and T. Pollard on a weekly basis last year, and feel pretty good about it? Well, I’m giving you 2 different backfields where I think you’ve got 2 fantasy viable RBs, week in and week out. There are a lot of similarities for these tandems this week —2 very good offenses playing at home against weaker defenses, and in each case, 2 backs that can make big plays. The risk with Achane is that he’s returning from injury and might not see that much of a workload, but given that any touch of his can go the distance, I think you have to start him if you have him.
Here are a few RBs ranked between 15 and 30 this week that I feel good about as RB2s with upside: Jav. Williams (vs. MIN) and in the same game, T. Chandler (@DEN), J. Conner (@HOU), D. Singletary (vs. ARI), and J. Ford (vs. PIT).
RB Sleeper of the Week: Darrell Henderson (vs. SEA). This is probably the last week where Henderson has any real value, but it’s a good week to consider him as a low-end RB2 or flex. The Rams are rested, Stafford should be back which should lift the entire offense, and the Seahawks have been a pretty generous defense to RBs and especially of late. On the season they’ve allowed the 6th most FPPG to RBs, and the 5th most receiving yards to RBs. Henderson has been the pass-catching back and should see some targets.
Other Sleepers:
A few more sleepers to consider, if you’re in need or want a cheap salary in a DFS lineup: A. Gibson (vs. NYG, assuming he plays), K. Mitchell (vs. CIN, because he doesn’t need a lot of touches to produce, and R. Dowdle (@CAR, because there could again be extended garbage time).
Fades:
RB Fade of the Week: Saquon Barkley (@WAS). Barkley was my Fade of the Week last week and it paid off. I’m running it back for all the same reasons, and I don’t care that Washington has a bad defense. The Giants don’t have a real offense or a real QB right now. Sad but true. Defenses don’t need to respect the forward pass and that means Barkley is going to see 8 man boxes all day. Also, the Giants are the NFL’s lowest scoring team, averaging barely more than 10 points per game, so there isn’t much TD upside here. Saquon is also banged up (ankle). He’ll get his 10-15 points in Full PPR, so if you don’t have a better option, I get it, but I’m getting him out of lineups where I can.
Other Fades:
Najee Harris (@ CLE). Harris has played well of late, but I’m still fading him this week and he’s also a sell high for me as the fantasy trade deadline approaches. I don’t like the split with Jaylen Warren, and this isn’t an offense like Miami’s or Detroit’s that can easily support 2 RBs. I also don’t like the matchup this week. The Browns have allowed the 7th fewest FPPG to RBs and handled Harris in the first matchup (43 rushing yards, 1 catch for 0 yards, 0 TDs).
James Cook (v. NYJ). There are too many red flags here for me: 1 fumble last week plus 1 botched exchange, only 2 TDs on the season, and the Jets have allowed just 5 total TDs to RBs on the year.
Bears RBs (@DET). Khalil Herbert should be back this week, so now you’ve got 3 RBs involved against a Top-5 run defense, on the road. Pass.
Chuba Hubbard (vs. DAL). It’s not a good matchup, and the Panthers are a little like the Giants in that they’re almost never going to score more than 14 points.
Isiah Pacheco (vs. PHI). Nobody runs on the Eagles. They’ve allowed the fewest FPPG, rushing yards, and total TDs (2) to RBs on the season. Hard pass.
Aiyuuuuuuk!
WR:
Elite options - Let’s try something different. Here are the top EIGHT WRs this season on a points per game basis: Tyreek Hill, A.J. Brown, K. Allen, C. Lamb, J. Jefferson, A. St. Brown, S. Diggs, and J. Chase. That’s a big group, but from this point forward, as long as they’re healthy and their QBs are also upright, I won’t be discussing them. They’re all matchup-proof, no brainer weekly starts. Yes, they can all put up pedestrian weeks, but honestly, there’s no insight needed here. My weekly analysis starts below this octet.
Rides and Sleepers:
WR Ride of the Week: Brandon Aiyuk (vs. TB). Could it be Deebo, or Kittle? Sure, it could. But I’ll place my chips on Aiyuk, who found the end zone last week, albeit on low volume. The Bucs have been torched through the air of late, and on the season they’ve allowed the 4th most FPPG to WRs (and the second fewest to RBs). Purdy should be airing it out in this one, and the 49ers should keep rolling after righting the ship coming out of the Bye.
Other Rides:
With so many WR1s in the “elite” category above, I’ll focus on a number of WR2s (those ranked between 13 and 25 this week) who I think have a good opportunity to give you a Top-15 week. Here they are: T. McLaurin (vs. NYG), P. Nacua (vs. SEA), C. Kirk (vs. TEN), M. Brown (@HOU), and T. Dell (vs. ARI).
Moving a bit further down the rankings, but not quite into sleeper territory, I’ll Ride with D. Johnson (@CLE - and yes, I know how good the Browns are, but Johnson should get peppered with short area targets), and C. Sutton (vs. MIN).
WR Sleeper of the Week: Rashee Rice (vs. PHI). The Eagles have allowed the most FPPG and TD catches to WRs, and while Rice still isn’t getting the volume you’d want in a fantasy starter, he does have a TD catch in 2 of his last 4 games, and went over 50 yards receiving in 3 of those 4. This one is about the matchup. If you have Rice, I think you can roll him out as a WR3 or Flex this week and feel pretty good about it.
Other Sleepers:
Packers’ WRs. Romeo Doubs, Christian Watson, and Jayden Reed are all ranked outside the Top 40 WRs this week, and while there‘s almost zero chance that all 3 will produce, the point here is that if you have any one of them, I think you can roll the dice with him against the Chargers. It’s a generous defense that’s been exposed all year, and has allowed the 5th most FPPG to WRs. Fun fact: Doubs is tied for 5th among WRs with 6 TD catches on the year. He’s my top pick of the 3.
Other sleepers to consider this week: N. Brown (vs. ARI, although a return of Nico Collins makes this a bit risky), B. Cooks (@CAR), and both J. Guyton and Q. Johnston (@GB).
Fades:
WR Fade of the Week: De’Andre Hopkins (@JAC). It’s just too hard to trust Hopkins right now. In the 2 games since his monster 3-TD game in Will Levis’s debut, Hopkins has put up 8.5 and 4.2 fantasy points. The Jaguars are a favorable matchup, but I think this is going to be a get-right game for them. Hopkins should get plenty of volume, but I don’t see a good game on the horizon.
Other Fades:
Amari Cooper (vs. PIT). I’m not completely panicking on Cooper, but I’ll take a wait-and-see approach this week. In his one game with DTR, Cooper did absolutely nothing (1 catch for 16 yards), although he was targeted 6 times. It’s a good matchup, and Cooper is still plenty talented and can still make big plays downfield, but I need to see if DTR can run this offense and get the ball to his pass-catchers before I dive in.
Gabe Davis (v. NYJ). Diggs will get his, but the Jets are a brutal matchup for outside WRs. They’ve allowed the fewest FPPG to WRs, and amazingly, just one TD catch to the position. Davis was shut down by the Jets in Week 1 (2 caches for 32 yards).
George Pickens (@ CLE). I can’t trust Pickens, and neither should you. He’s got just 6 catches for 66 yards over his last 3 games, and while you might see that and scream “he’s overdue!”, I think it just shows how inconsistent he and Kenny Pickett are. He did have a big game vs. these same Browns in Week 2, but much of that came on one long TD and you can’t count on that happening again, and especially against a defense that’s the third toughest matchup for WRs.
Giants WRs. What a waste of a tasty matchup. The Commanders have allowed the 2nd most FPPG to WRs and a whopping 14 TD catches to the position, but I don’t see Tommy DeVito exploiting their secondary.
Chris Godwin (@SF). He just isn’t getting it done week to week, and I don’t think this is the week that changes.
Kincaid: Buffalo’s Bright Spot
TE:
Elite option - Kelce, Andrews and Hockenson; the analysis starts below these 3.
Rides and Sleepers:
TE Ride of the Week: Dalton Kincaid (vs. NYJ). Ever since Dawson Knox got hurt, Kincaid has been a revelation. He’s the TE3 over te last 4 weeks, and has at least 11 fantasy points in each of those 4 games. The Jets are a brutal matchup for WRs, but not for TEs. They’ve allowed the 7th most FPPG to the position, and are tied for the most TD catches yielded (6). The rookie sensation should keep rolling in what’s become a huge game for his team.
Other Rides:
Jake Ferguson (@CAR). Ferguson is another emerging TE1 who’s been hot lately (double digit fantasy points in 3 straight), and who should keep it going in a game his surging team should control. Dak is the hottest QB in the league right now, so get in while you can.
The TE position is a wasteland no more! Here are 3 more lower-end TE1/high-end TE2s that I think should be in for a good week: T. McBride (@HOU), D. Schultz (vs. ARI), and C. Kmet (@DET).
TE Sleeper of the Week: Luke Musgrave (vs. LAC). Musgrave is ranked just outside the Top 15 this week and I think that’s too low. The Chargers allow the 6th most FPPG to TEs and Musgrave has been ascending, albeit slowly. He’s made bigger plays downfield in each of the past 2 games, which bodes well for his fantasy prospects. The volume is still lower than you’d like, but the trend lines are still promising and if you’re in need this week, he’s a decent option.
Other Sleepers: They’re hard to find this week. While the TE position has gotten better, that’s mostly been within the top 12 or so options. If you’re stuck, I think you could roll with T. Conklin (@BUF) or M. Mayer (@MIA), in what should be good game scripts for volume.
Fades:
TE Fade of the Week: Evan Engram (vs. TEN). Engram has been struggling along with his QB. He hasn’t found the end zone yet this season, and with each week, it seems like his role in the offense is less meaningful. What’s worse, the matchup this week is no fun. The Titans have allowed the fewest FPPG to TEs, and they’re the only defense that has yet to allow a TE to score.
Other Fades:
Pat Freiermuth (@ CLE). Welcome back Muuuuth! In your return, you get to face a defense that’s allowed the fewest catches (22) and yards (204) to TEs and the third fewest fantasy points. His return should help the offense, and he’s a good player, but I’d sit him in his first game back.
Cade Otton (@SF). OK, so now you know who the first and third toughest defenses are for TEs. Care to guess who’s second? Yup, the 49ers. Tough to trust Otton in this matchup.
Gerald Everett (@GB). Speaking of hard to trust, in his last 4 games Everett has suffered 2 separate injuries, and he’s barely had any targets. He’s been pretty invisible when he’s been on the field. Even with all the WR injuries for the Chargers, he hasn’t been a player you can count on and I’m not even sure he’s worth a roster spot at this point.
Tyler Higbee (vs. SEA). Speaking of invisible, Higbee has only had more than 2 catches once in his last 5 games.
