Fantasy Football Week 11 Rankings: Top Players and Matchups for All Positions
With 10 weeks of the 2022 NFL season in the books, it's time to start thinking about fantasy football playoff preparations.
Hopefully.
Look, it's possible your fantasy ship has already sunk, in which case...uh...hey, better luck next year. If you're still treading water or—better yet—cruising at high speed, then you're in luck.
All you need to do now is the same thing you've done all season: dominate your weekly matchup. Let's help ease that process by laying out our Week 11 rankings and spotlighting a sleeper streamer at the three marquee positions.
Quarterback
1 of 3
Top 10
1. Patrick Mahomes, KC (at LAC)
2. Jalen Hurts, PHI (at IND)
3. Josh Allen, BUF (vs. CLE)
4. Justin Fields, CHI (at ATL)
5. Lamar Jackson, BAL (vs. CAR)
6. Dak Prescott, DAL (at MIN)
7. Justin Herbert, LAC (vs. KC)
8. Joe Burrow, CIN (at PIT)
9. Kyler Murray, ARI (vs. SF)
10. Aaron Rodgers, GB (vs. TEN)
Streamer: Daniel Jones, NYG (vs. DET)
If you're in the market for excitement, Jones isn't the most obvious source to deliver it. He doesn't pass a ton or for a ton of yardage, which leads to uninspiring season-highs, like 217 passing yards or two passing touchdowns.
Remember, though, quarterbacks don't have to sling the ball around to be fantasy-relevant. If they're willing to run and are capable of doing that, it can be just as beneficial.
That's where the appeal lies with Jones. No, his passing numbers won't blow you away, but he has rushed for nearly 400 yards and three touchdowns already. Couple that rushing ability with a juicy matchup against a Detroit Lions defense allowing the third-most fantasy points to quarterbacks, per Yahoo, and you have at least a serviceable spot starter.
Running Back
2 of 3
Top 20
1. Saquon Barkley, NYG (vs. DET)
2. Austin Ekeler, LAC (vs. KC)
3. Derrick Henry, TEN (at GB)
4. Christian McCaffrey, SF (at ARI)
5. Alvin Kamara, NO (vs. LAR)
6. Joe Mixon, CIN (at PIT)
7. Nick Chubb, CLE (at BUF)
8. Miles Sanders, PHI (at IND)
9. Josh Jacobs, LV (at DEN)
10. Dameon Pierce, HOU (vs. WAS)
11. Dalvin Cook, MIN (vs. DAL)
12. Jonathan Taylor, IND (vs. PHI)
13. Rhamondre Stevenson, NE (vs. NYJ)
14. Aaron Jones, GB (vs. TEN)
15. Najee Harris, PIT (vs. CIN)
16. Gus Edwards, BAL (vs. CAR)
17. Cordarrelle Patterson, ATL (vs. CHI)
18. Aaron Jones, GB (vs. TEN)
19. D'Onta Foreman, CAR (at BAL)
20. David Montgomery, CHI (at ATL)
Streamer: Isiah Pacheco, KC (at LAC)
Fantasy interest had been increasing in Pacheco in recent weeks, but Kansas City's explosive rookie needed some production to show for all of his potential.
That light bulb clicked in a big way in Week 10.
Armed with a season-high 16 carries, he reeled off 82 rushing yards—or 52.9 percent of the Chiefs' total rushing output. Equally important, Kansas City gave just a single carry to Jerrick McKinnon and zero to Clyde Edwards-Helaire, hinting at Pacheco suddenly having complete control of this backfield. If that trend holds, Pacheco is not only a high-level streamer for this week, he might be a worthy starter for the rest of the season.
Wide Receiver
3 of 3
Top 20
1. Stefon Diggs, BUF (vs. CLE)
2. Justin Jefferson, MIN (vs. DAL)
3. CeeDee Lamb, DAL (at MIN)
4. Davante Adams, LV (at DEN)
5. Tee Higgins, CIN (at PIT)
6. A.J. Brown, PHI (at IND)
7. DeAndre Hopkins, ARI (vs. SF)
8. Amon-Ra St. Brown, DET (at NYG)
9. Amari Cooper, CLE (at BUF)
10. Deebo Samuel, SF (at ARI)
11. Brandon Aiyuk, SF (at ARI)
12. Chris Olave, NO (vs. LAR)
13. Courtland Sutton, DEN (vs. LV)
14. Allen Lazard, GB (vs. TEN)
15. D.J. Moore, CAR (at BUF)
16. Terry McLaurin, WAS (at HOU)
17. Tyler Boyd, CIN (at PIT)
18. Diontae Johnson, PIT (vs. CIN)
19. Darnell Mooney, CHI (at ATL)
20. Joshua Palmer, LAC (vs. KC)
Streamer: Christian Watson, GB (vs. TEN)
Watson has tantalized fantasy managers all season with an enviable combination of size (6'5", 208 lbs) and speed. The only question was when—or if—he would put it all together.
Well, Week 10 provided that answer, and the results were simply spectacular.
While Watson only caught four of the eight passes thrown his way, that was still enough volume for him to record his first 100-yard outburst (107 to be exact). He also found the end zone for the first time. And the second and third times, as well.
No, you shouldn't be penciling him in for more multi-score performances going forward, but for a Packers team that needed more juice in the passing game, this (green-and-yellow hued) orange is certainly worth the squeeze.
