Week 11 Fantasy Football Rankings: Top Picks and Sleepers for Every Position
As the NFL season enters Week 11, fantasy football owners are scrutinizing every detail to make the best lineup decisions. Here are some key insights and rankings from top fantasy football experts.
At the quarterback position, experts consensus ranks Jalen Hurts (PHI), Lamar Jackson (BAL), and Josh Allen (BUF) among the top three for Week 11, according to FantasyPros. These quarterbacks have consistently performed well and are expected to continue their strong form.
In the running back category, Alvin Kamara (New Orleans Saints), Christian McCaffrey (San Francisco 49ers), and Joe Mixon (Houston Texans) are highly ranked. Kamara’s role as both a pass-catching back and a goal-line workhorse makes him particularly valuable. McCaffrey, despite a slow return on the ground, is expected to bounce back, while Mixon faces a favorable matchup against the Cowboys, who rank 27th in rush defense DVOA.
For wide receivers, Ja'Marr Chase (Cincinnati Bengals) is a standout after his impressive performance against the Baltimore Ravens, where he had 11 receptions, 264 yards, and three touchdowns. Nico Collins (Houston Texans) is also a strong pick, especially with the Texans facing the Cowboys, who allow the most yards per pass in the league.
The tight end position is filled with intriguing options. Tucker Kraft (Green Bay Packers) has been a solid choice, particularly after the Packers’ bye week, and is expected to continue his strong season against the Chicago Bears. David Njoku (Cleveland Browns) is another top pick, having been on a hot streak and facing a middle-of-the-road matchup against the New Orleans Saints.
On the defensive side, the rankings suggest that teams facing weaker offenses could be advantageous. For example, the San Francisco 49ers defense is highly ranked against the Seattle Seahawks, especially given the Seahawks’ recent injuries and lineup changes.
In terms of sleepers and surprise picks, Calvin Ridley (Tennessee Titans) has emerged as a trustworthy receiver following the trade of DeAndre Hopkins. Ridley has been the WR3 over the last three weeks and could be a valuable addition to fantasy lineups despite a tough matchup against the Vikings.
For those dealing with injuries, key updates include Noah Fant (Seattle Seahawks) and Sam LaPorta (Detroit Lions) being ruled out for Week 11, while Michael Mayer (Atlanta Falcons) is set to return after personal issues. George Kittle (San Francisco 49ers) is listed as questionable, which could impact lineup decisions).
