Fantasy Football Week 11 Projections: Key Matchups and Player Insights

BRISTOL, Conn. — Week 11 of the NFL season is upon us, and fantasy football managers are gearing up for critical matchups. With injuries and team dynamics in flux, certain players stand out as must-starts or sit candidates based on their current form and performance trends.

This week’s fantasy football projections highlight several top players who are expected to perform well, alongside some who may be overvalued. Among the top projections, running back Jonathan Taylor offers explosive potential after a Week 10 performance where he scored a staggering 49.6 fantasy points, tying for the best single-game performance this season.

Another standout from Week 10 was Miami Dolphins running back Devon Achane, who scored 40.5 fantasy points against the Atlanta Falcons. His performance reaffirms his status as a top-five option moving forward.

In terms of matchups, fantasy managers should also keep an eye on quarterbacks facing weaker defenses. For instance, Justin Fields from the Chicago Bears may find success against a struggling Minnesota pass defense, while Jared Goff‘s matchup against the Eagles could allow him to rebound after a quieter week.

On the receiving end, players like Detroit’s Jameson Williams may continue to show flashes of their potential after taking advantage of favorable matchups in previous weeks. With the Lions in the playoff hunt, expect aggressive target distribution.

As injuries continue to affect lineups, check official inactives lists leading up to game time. Sunday inactives will be announced around 11:30 a.m. ET for early games, and 2:30 p.m. ET for afternoon contests. Keeping a vigilant eye on player availability is crucial for maximizing your lineup’s potential.

In summary, Week 11 promises to be exciting, filled with potential breakout performances and critical decisions. Stay updated on injury reports and take advantage of favorable matchups each week as the season heads toward the playoffs.
