There aren't a ton of passing-game contributors from the Colts, Patriots, Saints, and Falcons that fantasy owners will miss this week, but it's quietly a tough bye week for RBs. Fantasy owners will need to dig deep for their backs and flexes this week, and those positions could very well decide a lot of matchups.
As always, RotoBaller factored in usage, matchups, and talent into its Week 11 rankings, and it’s reflected in its “Who to Start?” tool. Check out an example from each offensive position.
Advice below is based on full-point PPR leagues
Start or Sit?: Week 11 fantasy QB lineup advice from RotoBaller
Brock Purdy (vs. TB) vs. Jared Goff (vs. CHI) vs. Kyler Murray (@ HOU) vs. Justin Fields (@ DET)
Early in the season, this would've been a no-brainer, but with Fields (thumb) playing in his first game in over a month, RotoBaller actually ranks him third among this quartet. Murray, who just returned last week after an even longer layoff, is the only guy behind him. Goff and Purdy are a few spots ahead of Fields, with Goff edging out Purdy by a nose. Ultimately, all four of these QBs could have big weeks, but RotoBaller sees Goff as the highest-floor and possibly even highest-ceiling QB of the bunch.

Start or Sit?: Week 11 fantasy RB lineup advice from RotoBaller
Antonio Gibson (vs. NYG) vs. Kareem Hunt (vs. PIT) vs. Chuba Hubbard (vs. DAL) vs. Darrell Henderson Jr. (vs. SEA)
Hubbard is the only "primary" back on this list, but RotoBaller ranks him third because he has the toughest matchup. He's still ahead of Henderson, who's failed to impress while sharing carries with Royce Freeman. Gibson and Hunt are only one spot apart, with Hunt getting the nod thanks to his goal-line usage. Gibson gets a bump in PPR leagues, but Hunt is still the safer bet for touches and the most likely of the group to score. (UPDATE: Gibson is "doubtful" for Week 11, taking him off the board.)
WEEK 11 PPR RANKINGS:
QBs | RBs | WRs | TEs | D/STs | Kickers
Start or Sit?: Week 11 fantasy WR lineup advice from RotoBaller
Courtland Sutton (vs. MIN) vs. Rashee Rice (vs. PHI) vs. Brandin Cooks (@ CAR) vs. Calvin Ridley (vs. TEN)
Ridley is the biggest name, Sutton is the top TD threat, Cooks is on a hot streak right now, and Rice has the best matchup. RotoBaller likes the touchdown potential of Sutton the most, ranking him one spot ahead of Rice and four spots ahead of Ridley. Cooks is several spots behind him, likely because he might not be needed much in an expected Dallas blowout. Any of these four receivers can work as your WR3 or flex, but Sutton has the highest floor.
WEEK 11 STANDARD RANKINGS:
QBs | RBs | WRs | TEs | D/STs | Kickers
Start or Sit?: Week 11 fantasy TE lineup advice from RotoBaller
Jake Ferguson (@ CAR) vs. Luke Musgrave (vs. LAC) vs. Evan Engram (vs. TEN) vs. David Njoku (vs. PIT)
Ferguson is on a scoring streak, but RotoBaller still likes Engram's consistent targets the most despite his tough matchup. Ferguson is a few spots behind him, followed by Musgrave, who has the best matchup of the bunch. Njoku is a couple of spots behind Musgrave, likely because of QB and matchup concerns. All of these TEs could pay off as viable starters, but following the targets, especially in PPR, is never a bad move.
