Week 11 Fantasy Football Start/Sit Recommendations
INDIANAPOLIS, IN — As fantasy football managers face crucial lineup decisions, Week 11 offers a wealth of intriguing matchups. Coaches emphasize that success hinges on player matchups rather than draft order. Players should start by evaluating who their players are up against and adjust lineups accordingly.
Quarterback Drake Maye of the New England Patriots is poised to make a significant impact against the New York Jets. Maye, currently the QB5 by fantasy points per game, faces a Jets defense allowing the seventh-most passing fantasy points per dropback. Coach evaluations indicate that Maye should exploit the Jets’ weaknesses on Thursday night.
In the absence of star running back Rhamondre Stevenson due to injury, TreVeyon Henderson becomes a must-start for the Patriots. Henderson is expected to see heavy usage, especially with the Patriots installed as home favorites. Fantasy managers are hopeful for a good performance following his breakout last week.
Wide receiver Stefon Diggs also deserves a spot in starting lineups. After a slow start to the season, Diggs has rebounded with impressive stats, including a recent trend of high yardage. He is projected to have an excellent game against the Jets’ secondary.
Meanwhile, Breece Hall remains the only dependable player for the Jets’ offense, despite facing a difficult matchup against a strong Patriots defense. Hall’s playmaking ability could prove critical in a tough contest where the Jets are implied to score low.
In the week’s marquee matchups, the Dolphins face off against the Commanders in Spain. The Dolphins’ explosive offense looks to capitalize on Washington’s depleted secondary. Quarterback Tua Tagovailoa is anticipated to be pivotal, while running back De’Von Achane stands out as a solid option given his consistent scoring.
For managers considering tight ends, Hunter Henry may be a risky start. His inconsistency raises concerns despite a favorable matchup. Fantasy players should explore options like Zach Ertz, who continues to see significant target volume despite poor performances from the Cardinals’ offense.
For the best fantasy outcomes, reviewing matchups, tracking player health, and consulting performance data will allow managers to make informed start/sit decisions heading into Sunday’s games. Good luck this week!
