Fantasy Football Week 11 Rankings: Latest Position-by-Position Rundown

Every week is huge in the world of fantasy football, but there is no question that Week 11 has major implications for those with championship aspirations.

There aren't many weeks remaining for owners who are hoping to make a run, which means this week's result could make all the difference. With that in mind, fantasy owners must be bold and decisive in setting their lineups.

Although there are no guarantees in fantasy football, here is a look at Week 11 rankings for every position that should prove helpful in picking up an all-important victory.

Quarterbacks

Rank	Player	Team	Opponent
1	Peyton Manning	DEN	STL
2	Aaron Rodgers	GB	PHI
3	Andrew Luck	IND	NE
4	Drew Brees	NO	CIN
5	Tom Brady	NE	IND
6	Matthew Stafford	DET	ARI
7	Ben Roethlisberger	PIT	TEN
8	Philip Rivers	SD	OAK
9	Matt Ryan	ATL	CAR
10	Jay Cutler	CHI	MIN
11	Cam Newton	CAR	ATL
12	Colin Kaepernick	SF	NYG
13	Robert Griffin III	WAS	TB
14	Russell Wilson	SEA	KC
15	Mark Sanchez	PHI	GB
16	Eli Manning	NYG	SF
17	Andy Dalton	CIN	NO
18	Derek Carr	OAK	SD
19	Alex Smith	KC	SEA
20	Shaun Hill	STL	DEN

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers has long been one of the best signal-callers in football, but his play at home rivals that of any quarterback in the history of the NFL.

According to NFL on ESPN, it has been two years since Rodgers was last intercepted at Lambeau Field:

He and the Pack will host the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 11, and all signs point to another huge outing. Philly has allowed 19 passing touchdowns this season, and Rodgers has 23 touchdowns through the air over his past six outings.

That includes six in the first half last week against the Chicago Bears. Rodgers was left on the sidelines for much of the second half to avoid injury, but he admitted that he would have preferred to throw at least one more touchdown, per Ryan Wood of the Green Bay Press-Gazette (h/t ESPN Milwaukee).

"Yeah, I knew what the record was," Rodgers said. "It would've been nice to get seven. We're still playing. I know it's 42-0 (at halftime), but it's the NFL still. There's talented guys who are getting paid on both sides. So we were still playing football there in the second half."

That mentality suggests that Rodgers enjoys putting up big numbers, and that bodes particularly well for fantasy owners. All the pieces are in place for another productive day, and there is no reason to believe that Rodgers will slow down.

While things haven't always been perfect between running back Marshawn Lynch and the Seattle Seahawks, there is no question that everyone benefits when he is on top of his game. That was the case last week when Beast Mode went for 140 yards and four touchdowns against the beleaguered New York Giants.

According to ESPN Stats & Info, that was the best scoring performance by a running back in terms of touchdowns in two years:

The Seahawks have gotten back to their identity of running the ball effectively and playing great defense, which is an ideal situation for Lynch's fantasy owner.

Lynch doesn't have a particularly easy matchup this week against a Kansas City Chiefs defense that has yet to allow a rushing score, but it isn't overly daunting either. The Chiefs still give up over 115 yards per contest on the ground, and it is highly unlikely that they will go a full season without getting scored on by a running back.

Lynch is playing better than ever right now, and he will be the driving force behind Seattle's offense in Week 11.

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones has been one of the NFL's most dynamic pass-catchers since entering the league, and he has long had a strong rapport with quarterback Matt Ryan. With that said, the Atlanta offense has sputtered a bit as of late.

That has impacted Jones' fantasy production. He hasn't scored a touchdown since Week 3. According to FootballPerspective.com, that is a career-long drought:

Jones came to life last week with 119 yards against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, though, and he has another enticing matchup on tap in Week 11 with the Carolina Panthers struggling. They were picked apart by the Eagles offense in Week 10, and they have surrendered 19 passing touchdowns.

This game is essentially an eliminator in terms of contending within the NFC South, which means the Falcons figure to rely on their biggest playmaker in the form of Jones.

New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski was slowed by injuries for much of the past couple seasons, but Gronk is finally healthy, which is a big reason why the Pats are on such an impressive roll.

Gronkowski has racked up at least 94 receiving yards in four of his past five games, and he has scored five touchdowns during that span as well. Quarterback Tom Brady trusts him everywhere on the field, and that trust increases even more in the red zone.

New England has a big game Saturday against the Indianapolis Colts, which could decide home-field advantage in the AFC. According to Mike Chappell of RTV6, the Colts are well aware of what Gronk can do:

Even if Indy places extra focus on stopping Gronkowski, though, it doesn't guarantee anything. He is so big and athletic that he is still capable of dominating games even if he draws extra defenders.

Gronk is a matchup nightmare, and his dominant run will continue in Week 11 against a somewhat suspect Colts defense.
