Week 11 Positional Rankings
Guys, we are just three matchups away from the fantasy playoffs. This is the time to solidify those lineups, chances are your trade deadline is past. So look at team defenses with good schedules make sure there are no good players left on the waiver wire.
This week we have another week with six teams on a bye — Buffalo Bills, Cleveland Browns, Miami Dolphins, New England Patriots, New York Jets, and the San Francisco 49ers will all need to be on your bench this week. Though, if we are being honest, not a lot of fantasy relevant players on a bye this week. As of now unless you suffer an injury you know who your lineup studs are, check out below our ranks on anyone you aren’t sure needs to be in your lineup this week. As always may the fantasy gods grant you a crucial win in Week 11.
Quarterbacks
While the usual names are up at the top this week, some QBs I’m a little worried about this week are Kirk Cousins and Andrew Luck. Both had interesting matchups and could struggle this week. My pick outside the Top 10 that could breakout is Marcus Mariota.
- Patrick Mahomes- 27.8
- Carson Wentz- 27.3
- Jared Goff- 26.8
- Drew Brees- 26.2
- Cam Newton- 25.5
- Matt Ryan- 25.1
- Ben Roethlisberger- 24.4
- Russell Wilson- 23.8
- Ryan Fitzpatrick- 23.7
- Aaron Rodgers- 23.6
- Deshaun Watson- 23.2

- Case Keenum- 19.4
- Blake Bortles- 19.1
- Alex Smith- 18.5
- Derek Carr- 17.8
- Josh Rosen- 17.1
Running Backs
Todd Gurley isn’t No. 1 this week? Mostly because I have a really good feeling about Zeke and his matchup with the Falcons, who have been the worst defense against the run this year and got gashed by the Browns last week. David Johnson returned to Top 12 form last week and will likely continue on that trajectory the rest of the season. Last week we picked Aaron Jones to have a breakout game, and he did and likely won’t look back, unless Mike McCarthy slows him down by not playing him. My pick outside the Top 12 that could have a breakout game is Kerryon Johnson.
- Ezekiel Elliot- 28.3
- Toddy Gurley- 25.3
- Kareem Hunt- 24.8
- Christian McCaffrey- 24.2

Wide Receivers
Can’t guard Mike comes in at No. 1 this week as he has returned to form the past couple weeks. With a ton of good matchups this week, wide receiver should be fairly deep. However, watch out even though I love the Kansas City Chiefs and Los Angeles Rams matchup Tyreek Hill comes in fairly low in my ranks this week as I think he could struggle some. My pick outside the Top 10 to have a breakout game is Kenny Golladay.
- Michael Thomas- 25.6
- Davante Adams- 24.8
- Odell Beckham, Jr.- 24.3
- DeAndre Hopkins- 23.8

Tight Ends
Zach Ertz continues to dominate the NFL and fantasy from the tight end position, and should do so again this week. Tight end will likely be fairly rough this week as I honestly don’t trust anyone outside the Top 9 this week. My pick outside the Top 10 to have a breakout game is Ricky Seals-Jones.
- Zach Ertz- 18.3
- Travis Kelce- 18.1
- Greg Olsen- 13.4
- Austin Hooper- 12.9
