Quarterbacks To Play in Week 11
1. C.J. Stroud, Houston Texans
2. Sam Howell, Washington Commanders
You can't pick up C.J. Stroud anymore. But if you added him onto your roster, despite having a top quarterback, you need to think long and hard about playing Stroud against the Arizona Cardinals' defense. Meanwhile, Sam Howell will face off against the Giants. He struggled against this squad earlier this year. But the Giants have since fallen flat on their face. The motivation is gone. Howell should have a solid day under center.
Stroud is heating up and he can only get hotter in Week 11 so it's an easy decision. Make sure you're hammering CJ Stroud prop bets at DraftKings right now
Quarterbacks To Sit in Week 11
3. Matthew Stafford, Los Angeles Rams
4. Jordan Love, Green Bay Packers
5. Trevor Lawrence, Jacksonville Jaguars
With Stafford's injuries, playing him over other quarterbacks in Week 11 is hard. He sounds healthy and is likely to play, but I'd be careful. Meanwhile, I thought Jordan Love was better against the Steelers last weekend. But I need to see consistency out of the Packers' offense before considering playing Jordan Love. Lastly, while the Jacksonville Jaguars have played well throughout the season, Trevor Lawrence would only finish as the 18th-best quarterback this season. He just added 185 yards passing with no touchdowns and two interceptions last week. Stay away.
Running Backs To Play in Week 11
6. Aaron Jones, Green Bay Packers
7. De'Von Achane, Miami Dolphins
8. Jaylen Warren, Pittsburgh Steelers
Aaron Jones earned 13 carries last weekend and was held to 35 yards. But he's got too much potential to sit him this weekend against the Chargers. Meanwhile, if De'Von Achane is available and plays this weekend, you can't think twice. He was the reason why many teams won games earlier in the year in fantasy. Plus, I think Jaylen Warren is facing a tough Cleveland defense. But he's so much better than Najee Harris. He added 101 yards on the ground against the Packers and caught two receptions while rushing for a touchdown. A lot of dump-offs to Warren are in play this weekend.
Running Backs To Sit in Week 11
9. James Conner, Arizona Cardinals
10. Gus Edwards, Baltimore Ravens
James Conner rushed well for the Cardinals last weekend. But if you're in a PPR league, Conner likely won't get many, if any, catches. Arizona will also probably have to play catch-up early. On the other hand, it sounds like Keaton Mitchell will start to steal some reps in the running game for the Ravens. Edwards can still get you a touchdown, but better options exist.
Wide Receivers To Play in Week 11
11. Brandin Cooks, Dallas Cowboys
12. Tyler Boyd, Cincinnati Bengals
Brandin Cooks dominated the Giants last weekend with 173 yards receiving and a touchdown. But with Carolina up next, that type of production is still in play this weekend. Meanwhile, Tee Higgins is likely out with the Bengals on a short week. Ja'Marr Chase also likely isn't 100%. Look for Tyler Boyd to dominate the target share again after earning 117 yards receiving on eight catches last weekend.

Wide Receivers To Sit in Week 11
13. Calvin Ridley, Jacksonville Jaguars
14. Christian Watson, Green Bay Packers
15. Jahan Dotson, Washington Commanders
Many of you were hyped about Calvin Ridley earlier in the year. But he just added two catches for 20 yards in a loss to the 49ers last weekend. He's not reliable. The same can be said for Christian Watson and Jahan Dotson. Watson caught two balls on seven targets, while Dotson managed to catch zero balls last weekend.
Tight Ends To Play in Week 11
16. Cole Kmet, Chicago Bears
17. Trey McBride, Arizona Cardinals
I doubt Cole Kmet is still available on waivers. But he just added another five-catch game for 45 yards on Thursday. He's one of the more consistent tight ends in the league. But with Justin Fields potentially back, I'd still be cautious. On the other hand, Trey McBride is a legitimate quarterback again. He saw nine targets and caught eight balls for 131 yards last weekend. McBride could be the next big tight end.
Can Cole Kmet continue to deliver in Week 11? He's consistently producing. Well, FanDuel is the place to bet on Kmet props right now!
Tight Ends To Sit in Week 11
18. Cade Otton, Tampa Bay Buccaneers
19. Luke Musgrave, Green Bay Packers
20. Logan Thomas, Washington Commanders
Don't take a chance with Cade Otton against the 49ers. Meanwhile, no Packers offensive player other than Aaron Jones is worth it this weekend. Lastly, Logan Thomas would finish 12th in fantasy football in points for tight ends. He's barely a No. 1 tight end this year. You can do better.
