Since we’re still in the crux of bye weeks, finding viable sleepers continues to be key at fantasy football’s highest-scoring position. That's especially true this week with four viable starting QBs on bye. Whatever your situation, our Week 11 fantasy QB rankings can help you determine if you should ride with your typical signal-caller or search the waiver wire for a streamer.
While Joe Burrow (@ Steelers in Week 11), Lamar Jackson (vs. Panthers), Mac Jones (vs. Jets), and Zach Wilson (vs. Patriots) return from their bye weeks, Tua Tagovailoa, Geno Smith, Tom Brady, and Trevor Lawrence head to the bench for their mandatory PTO. Losing all four potential starters certainly stings, but there are still some formidable QB pivots available on the waiver wire.
We broke down those potential pivot options in our waiver wire watchlist last week, but if you missed it, we highlighted Marcus Mariota (vs. Bears), Daniel Jones (vs. Lions), Davis Mills (vs. Commanders), Jimmy Garoppolo (vs. Cardinals), and Baker Mayfield (vs. Ravens). Despite Mariota’s uneasy performance in last Thursday night’s loss to Carolina, he still produced from a fantasy perspective, tossing two touchdown passes while accumulating 43 yards on the ground. Garoppolo also has a safe floor thanks to his elite run-after-the-catch weapons.
WEEK 11 STANDARD RANKINGS:
RBs | WRs | TEs | D/STs | Kickers
Jones continues to improve as the season progresses and draws a juicy matchup against a Lions defense that entered Week 10 allowing the third-most fantasy points per game (FPPG) to QBs (21.6). They were also just run all over by Justin Fields, so Jones will produce one way or another. Mills and Mayfield are just for the deep-league crowd, but given their matchups, they should be able to post decent numbers if you're in a bind.
WEEK 11 PPR RANKINGS:
RBs | WRs | TEs | D/STs | Kickers
Fantasy owners with Kyler Murray (vs. 49ers) and Matthew Stafford (@ Saints) should have a replacement option in their back pocket. While it’s more likely than not that both QBs return to game action this week, it’s better to be safe than sorry. There’s a chance Murray’s rushing upside is capped because of his hamstring injury, but if he’s healthy enough to play, he’s still going to pose a threat in the running game.
WEEK 11 DFS: Best stacks | Best values
Speaking of rushing QBs, Justin Fields (@ Falcons) remains a top-five QB play in an enticing matchup against the Falcons after his second-straight 40-plus point fantasy showing. On the other end of the spectrum, Kirk Cousins (vs. Cowboys) and Derek Carr (@ Broncos) are about the only "bubble" QBs we don't like this week because of matchups, but it's tough to completely disregard either given their elite No. 1 WRs. Even Russell Wilson (vs. Raiders) and Aaron Rodgers (vs. Titans) look like solid starts this week thanks to top-six QB matchups.
WEEK 11 DFS LINEUPS: DraftKings | FanDuel
While duds occur here and there from the QB position, there's no need to question the truly elite options. Rely on the QBs who have gotten you to this point of the season and focus most of your start 'em, sit 'em angst on the more volatile positions.
