Week 11 Fantasy QB Rankings Must-starts sleepers p
Last week's byes forced a couple top-flight fantasy quarterbacks to the sidelines (Patrick Mahomes and Matt Ryan), butonly one notable signal-caller (Josh Allen)is mi sing from our Week 11 fantasy QB rankings. No offense to Nick Mullens, Nick Foles, and Daniel Jones, but let's face it -- they're really only valuable in two-QB leagues or things have somehow gone horribly wrong. Fortunately, you shouldn't be in that kind of abind this week, as there are plenty of stars and a bunch of worthwhile sleepers in favorable matchups.First, let's start with the one big name who owners might consider sitting: Aaron Rodgers. He faces a tough matchup against the Colts, who entered Week 10 allowing the fewest fantasy points to QBs and shut down Ryan Tannehill. Rodgers has been matchup-proof this year, so he'll be tough to sit, but there are plenty of replacement options if you decide to go that route.WEEK 11 PPR RANKINGS: | | | | Those sleepers include Kirk Cousins (vs. Denard Robinson Jersey Cowboys), Cam Newton (@ Texans), and Teddy Bridgewater (vs. Lions), though Bridgewater's status is in question after he suffered a knee injury in Week 10. If you really want to get bold, you can try Andy Dalton (@ Vikings) and Joe Flacco (@ Chargers), as both have top-five matchups. Jameis Winston and even Taysom Hill (vs. Falcons) are also be in playwith Drew Brees (ribs) out. It's unclear exactly how Winston and Hill would split time, but chances are Winston will get the majority of the snaps. Hill would spell him on more designed rushing plays than he runs when Brees is healthy, but Hill would be a very low-ceiling starter at QB (and a high-ceiling starter at TE in leagues where he's eligible). (Update: It's been reported that Hill will be New Orleans' primary QB in Week 11, but coach Sean Payton refuses to comment on who will start. We're ranking Hill as if he'll take the most snaps at QB, but we expect Winston to be involved, too.)WEEK 11 STANDARD RANKINGS: | | | | Other borderline quarterbacks who could be left on benches this week are Tom Brady (vs. Rams), Jared Goff (@ Buccaneers), Matthew Stafford (@ Panthers), Joe Burrow (@ Washington), and Ryan Tannehill (@ Ravens). Any of these QBs can still have good games -- especially Brady and Stafford -- but you don't nece sarily need to force them into your lineups given all theavailable sleepers.WEEK 11 DFS CASH LINEUPS: | Once again, this should Ryan Glasgow Jersey be another high-scoring week from fantasy's highest-scoring position. Weather could be a factor in a few spots, so watch the forecasts, but as long as conditions are reasonable, there will be plenty of points scored.WEEK 11 DFS TOURNAMENT LINEUPS: | Note: Check back throughout the week, as we'll continue to update our QB rankings up until kickoff based on the latest news and injury updates.MORE WEEK 11 DFS: | | Week 11Fantasy QB RankingsThese rankings are for four-point pa sing TD leagues.

No defense allows fewer fantasy points per game (FPPG) to quarterbacks than the Colts, but Rodgers has been automatic this year. His lone bad game came in a similar matchup against Tampa, but his upside is too high to risk playing most of the quarterbacks below Wilton Speight Jersey him. Case in point: Rodgers has averaged 301 pa sing yards and has a 14:2 TD-to-turnover ratio in his past four games. Indianapolis did get torched by Matthew Stafford for 336 yards and three TDs in Week 8 and Joe Burrow had over 300 pa sing yards in Week 6, and while both of those games involved garbage time, they show it's po sible to pa s on the Colts.9Carson Wentz, PHI @ CLE.Wentz had been finding a way to get fantasy points despite some ugly performances, but everything fell apart in Week 10 in what should have been a favorable matchup against the Giants. Wentz couldn't even muster a TD and had just 208 pa sing yards and four rushing yards. He didn't turn it over for the first time all season, but that's a small consolation prize for his owners. He'll look to get back on track against a Cleveland team that entered Week 10 allowing the 10th-most FPPG to QBs despite playing in a couple bad-weather games that have helped their defense. This is a good bounce-back spot for Wentz, who's had multiple TDs in all but two games this year.10Deshaun Watson, HOU vs. NE.Windy weather Ignas Brazdeikis Jersey in Cleveland clearly held Watson back last week, but in the five games prior, he averaged 316.8 pa sing yards, 29.6 rushing yards, and 2.6 TDs per contest. The Patriots haven't been quite as dominant against QBs lately, allowing 262 yards and three TDs to Joe Flacco in Week 9 and 249 pa sing yards and two TDs in a rainstorm to Lamar Jackson in Week 10. Watson can post similar numbers and raise his floor with his legs.11Kirk Cousins, MIN vs. DAL.Dallas has been so bad against the run this year that quarterbacks often don't have to throw for a lot of yards. In five of the past six games, quarterbacks have fewer than 223 pa sing yards against the Cowboys, but they also have 12 total touchdowns in that span, giving them a high floor. Cousins has taken advantage of favorable matchups lately, throwing for 220 yards and three TDs against the Lions in Week 9, 343 yards and three TDs against the Falcons in Week 6, and 249 yards and two TDs against Seattle in Week 5. Cousins' ceiling might not be as high as you'd like to think in this matchup, but his floor is very safe.12Cam Newton, NE @ HOU.Newton continues to have depre sed pa sing totals, but he's posted multiple TDs and been much more efficient in two straight games. Houston entered Week 10 allowing the fifth-most FPPG to QBs after allowing an average of 313 pa sing yards and 12 total touchdowns in four games between Weeks 5-9 (Gardner Minshew, Ryan Tannehill, Aaron Rodgers, Jake Luton). The Texans were able to keep Baker Mayfield down during a wind storm in Week 10, but they will be susceptible to Newton's pa sing and Desmond Howard Jersey running in Week 11, giving Newton a high floor.13Tom Brady, TB vs. LAR.Brady struggled in a favorable matchup against New Orleans in Week 9 and went off in an unfavorable matchup against Carolina in Week 10. Clearly, matchups don't nece sarily dictate Brady's succe s, but the Rams entered Week 10 allowing the second-fewest FP
