Week 11 Fantasy Football Preview: Key Start/Sit Decisions
Week 11 of the NFL season is here, bringing excitement for fantasy football managers as they navigate critical start/sit decisions. Key players such as Jaylen Warren of the Pittsburgh Steelers and RJ Harvey of the Denver Broncos are in the spotlight, with both expected to have significant roles this week due to team injuries and changes in depth charts.
Warren, who has emerged as a top fantasy option, faces the Cincinnati Bengals, who have allowed the most rushing yards and most fantasy points per game to running backs this season. In their earlier matchup, Warren rushed for 127 yards, making him a must-start this week.
Similarly, Harvey has been taking advantage of his growing workload in Denver. With J.K. Dobbins sidelined, Harvey is projected to step up in a tough matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs. Despite mixed results from the Broncos’ offense, Harvey’s potential as a dual-threat back could lead to a breakout performance, especially in a game projected to be highly competitive.
For streaming quarterbacks, Joe Flacco of the Cincinnati Bengals is showing promise against the Steelers after leading the league in passing yards and touchdowns in recent weeks. His matchup is favorable, given the Steelers’ defensive struggles against passing attacks.
Meanwhile, fantasy managers should cautiously approach other quarterbacks like Bo Nix of the Denver Broncos, who faces a tough Kansas City defense, and Trevor Lawrence of the Jacksonville Jaguars, who has underperformed facing difficult defenses this season.
On the running back front, players like Rachaad White and Woody Marks are projected to receive significant volume, which could be their opportunity to shine. White faces the Buffalo Bills, who have struggled to contain running backs, while Marks steps in as the lead back for the Texans against the Titans.
Receivers to watch include Jaylen Waddle of the Dolphins, anticipated to thrive against a Washington team that has allowed considerable fantasy production to wide receivers. Other options like Tee Higgins and Christian Watson offer intriguing matchups this week as well.
As for tight ends, Zach Ertz stands out against the Dolphins, who rank poorly against coverages in tight-end formations, ensuring Ertz remains a viable start. While Dallas Goedert navigates a tough matchup against the Lions, his overall performance has made him a reliable play this season.
Don’t forget to keep an eye on byes and injury reports as Week 11 progresses, as these factors can substantially affect lineups. Good luck navigating your fantasy decisions!
