The 2024 NFL season is reaching a critical point for fantasy football managers.

Week 10, particularly during Monday Night Football, was anything but predictable, especially for wide receivers. Players like Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Tylan Wallace, Alec Pierce, John Metchie III, Rashod Bateman, and Ricky Pearsall surprisingly finished as top receivers. Conversely, big names like Justin Jefferson, Garrett Wilson, Davante Adams, Deebo Samuel, and Malik Nabers struggled to achieve even 10 points in half-point PPR leagues. Quite the mix!

Now, Week 11 has arrived.

Below, you’ll find my fantasy football rankings for Week 11. You can switch between standard, half PPR (points per reception), and full PPR formats to see player rankings tailored to your league.

Our team at YSL News Sports is here to provide ample resources to assist with your lineup and roster choices for Week 11. Looking for the top waiver wire pickups? We’ve got you covered. Unsure which players to drop? We can help with that too. Plus, we have a list of the ten best buy-low/sell-high options available.

Keep in mind: These rankings may change considerably as the week progresses. Be sure to check back for final updates on Sunday morning.

Fantasy Football Quarterback Rankings for Week 11: Key Risers and Fallers

• RISING: Brock Purdy – He has been a top-eight fantasy quarterback for four consecutive games. The Seahawks have allowed the eighth-most fantasy points to quarterbacks since Week 4, including a QB6 showing from Purdy in Week 6.
• RISING: Jared Goff – This is a prime opportunity for him. Goff has been the QB15 or worse in six of nine games, but this matchup could turn things around. He faces a Jaguars defense that has given up the second-most points to quarterbacks this season.
• RISING: Justin Herbert – He’s been on fire, with three straight top-12 performances. Herbert should maintain that momentum against a Bengals defense that has allowed the third-most points to quarterbacks since Week 3.
• RISING: Russell Wilson – Since taking over as the starting quarterback in Pittsburgh, he has scored as the QB3, QB24, and QB9. He’ll be up against a Ravens defense that has allowed an average of 26 fantasy points to quarterbacks since Week 5, only bested by the Bucs in generosity.
• RISING: Bo Nix – He’s been a QB1 in four of his last six games and has a favorable match against the Falcons, who have permitted at least 16.9 fantasy points to quarterbacks in eight of their last nine contests.
• FALLING: Jayden Daniels – The rookie hasn’t cracked the QB11 spot in six games. This week he faces a tough matchup against the Eagles, who rank highly against quarterbacks in 2024.
• FALLING: Jordan Love – Although always in the QB1 talks, he faces a difficult challenge this week. The Bears have surrendered the fewest fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks.
• FALLING: Sam Darnold – His earlier success seems to have fizzled. Following three strong starts, he has been ranked as the QB13 or worse in four of his last five games.

Fantasy Football Running Back Rankings for Week 11: Key Risers and Fallers

• RISING: Kenneth Walker III – Facing the San Francisco defense is less daunting than before. The 49ers have allowed the 10th-most fantasy points to running backs since Week 3, and Walker’s role in the passing game gives him a solid floor.
• RISING: Kareem Hunt – The seasoned back has finished as the RB13 or higher in four out of five recent games and has recorded at least 21 touches in the same number of outings. He’s likely to perform well against a Bills defense that has allowed the second-most points to running backs this season.
• RISING: Nick Chubb – For those who have been waiting on Chubb, this matchup is ideal. The Saints have given up the most fantasy points to running backs since Week 3.
• RISING: Audric Estime – The rookie earned 70% of his team’s carries in Week 10. Though he didn’t produce much from those 14 carries, he faces a more favorable matchup this week as seven backs have scored at least 11.9 half-PPR points against the Falcons since Week 4.
• FALLING: D’Andre Swift – The struggles of Chicago’s offense have affected Swift. After being a top-10 running back for four straight weeks, he has dropped to RB23 and RB28 in his last two games.
• FALLING: James Cook – Cook faces a tough test against the Chiefs, as no running back has exceeded 12.2 half-PPR points against Kansas City this season.
• FALLING: Aaron Jones – After strong early season performances, Jones has struggled, ranking as RB13 or lower in six consecutive games, only managing to finish higher than RB19 once in his last five outings. He also missed some time in Week 10 due to a chest injury.
• FALLING: Javonte Williams – Williams is nearing the drop zone. He has ranked as RB27 or worse in most of his outings, managing only three touches in his last game against the Chiefs.

Fantasy Football Wide Receiver Rankings for Week 11: Key Risers and Fallers

• • RISING: George Pickens – In the three games since Russell Wilson became the starting QB, Pickens has finished as WR4, WR44, and WR5, with the WR44 game including two touchdowns that were taken off the board. In Week 11, he will take on a Ravens secondary allowing an average of 5.4 additional half-PPR points to receivers per game.
    • UP: Deebo Samuel Sr. and Jauan Jennings – Deebo has had impressive performances against the Seahawks in the past, with finishes as WR2, WR25, WR9, WR1, and WR6 across five games. Jauan stepped into a key role in Week 10, receiving 10 targets and making 7 catches for 93 yards. He is a reliable WR2, especially against a Seattle defense that ranks second in most fantasy points conceded to wide receivers since Week 4.
    • UP: Cedric Tillman – Tillman has put up solid numbers in his last three games, wrapping up as WR14, WR3, and WR12. Expect him to continue his success against the Saints, who have given up the sixth-most fantasy points to wide receivers since Week 5.
    • UP: Calvin Ridley – The 29-year-old has consistently received at least eight targets in his last five games, achieving WR7 and WR3 finishes in two of those. He is a strong candidate to start against a Vikings defense that has allowed the second-most fantasy points to wide receivers this season.
    • UP: Jakobi Meyers – Now taking the lead as WR1 for the Raiders, Meyers has achieved no fewer than seven targets in each of his last five games. He has finished as WR22 or better in three of those games, and while the matchup isn’t ideal, his performance has been commendable.
    • DOWN: Davante Adams – Since joining the Jets, Adams has ranked as WR39 or worse in three out of four games. Though there is potential, he remains a risky WR2 option at this time.
    • DOWN: Jayden Reed – After a promising start with finishes as WR1 and WR2 in his first two games with Jordan Love, Reed has dipped to WR19 or worse for five consecutive games. A challenging matchup against the Bears awaits in Week 11, as they have allowed the third-fewest fantasy points to wide receivers this season.
    • DOWN: CeeDee Lamb – Without Dak Prescott in the lineup, Lamb managed just 21 yards on 10 targets in his recent game. At the moment, he’s no better than a WR3 due to the circumstances in Dallas.
    • DOWN: Brian Thomas Jr. – With Trevor Lawrence sidelined for the game against the Vikings, Thomas only got three targets from backup Mac Jones. More concerning is that he hasn’t surpassed five targets since Week 6. If Jones starts again, trusting Thomas will be difficult, even against the Lions.

Week 11 fantasy football tight end rankings: Risers and fallers

• • • UP: Mark Andrews – After initially struggling with only six receptions in his first four games, Andrews has bounced back impressively, achieving top-10 tight end status in four of his last five games, including finishes of TE3, TE3, and TE2.
    • UP: T.J. Hockenson – In his second game back from injury, Hockenson led the Vikings with nine targets, converting those into 8 receptions for 72 yards. While the Titans seem tough on paper, this might not be an accurate reflection of their challenges against tight ends.
    • DOWN: Evan Engram – Typically found in the top eight among tight ends, Engram has finished as TE12 or lower for four straight games. The Lions have yet to allow a tight end to reach double-digit half-PPR points in 2024.
