NFL Scores Week 11: Results and Top Fantasy Football Stars for Sunday Games

Kenny Britt outperformed Peyton Manning in fantasy football Sunday. Seek out the ones you love because the end is nigh.

That's just the way it goes sometimes. You're feeling great about your team, and then the other guy starts Josh McCown, Alfred Blue and Britt, all of whom were among the top scorers at their respective positions this weekend.    

They weren't quite the cream of the crop, but their success further proves that fantasy football is an inexact science, and just when you think you have all the answers, the NFL changes the question.

Here's a look at the scores and top fantasy performers from Sunday's early games.

Top Fantasy Performers from Week 11

Jay Cutler, QB, Chicago Bears

Maybe the Chicago Bears should place Jay Cutler on the trading block every week.   

Before the Bears' 21-13 win over the Minnesota Vikings, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported that Chicago was considering dealing the inconsistent quarterback:

Shortly thereafter, the trading block was seen wrapped up in a massive jacket on the sideline:

Cutler finished the game with 330 yards passing with three touchdowns and two interceptions. Although he wasn't perfect, it was one of his best fantasy performances of the season, showing both his incredible arm and penchant for causing Bears fans mind-numbing frustration.

Nothing can be taken for granted with the 31-year-old. As much as you want to buy into this one game as a sign that Cutler's out of his funk, he remains one of the more volatile QBs in terms of fantasy production.

Jamaal Charles, RB, Kansas City Chiefs

The Seattle Seahawks defense hasn't played at the otherworldly level it enjoyed last year, but the team entered Week 11 with the third-best run defense, according to Football Outsiders.

Jamaal Charles didn't get the memo about the Seahawks being good against the run. He went for 159 yards and two touchdowns on the ground as the Kansas City Chiefs held on late for a 24-20 win over Seattle.

Going back to last year, Marshawn Lynch is the only running back who's had more multiple TD games, per ESPN Stats & Info:

Bleacher Report's Matt Miller couldn't stop gushing about Charles:

Charles is undoubtedly one of the best RBs in the game. Sunday is evidence to that fact.

With the Chiefs heading to Oakland next week, his streak of games with at least one rushing touchdown should grow to six.

Mike Evans, WR, Tampa Bay Buccaneers

So much for Mike Evans being a little too raw to flourish in his rookie season. Many critics of the former Texas A&M star felt that while he boasted massive potential, he needed some time in order to fully refine his skills and become a dependable wideout.

Evans has only managed to be one of the best rookie WRs in the league this year, which is no small feat given the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' quarterback situation. His rookie campaign became even more impressive after Sunday.

Evans was the driving force behind the Bucs' win, catching seven passes for 209 yards and two touchdowns. This is the third game in a row in which he's eclipsed 100 yards receiving, which puts him in the same company with Randy Moss, per SportsCenter:

As long as Josh McCown or Mike Glennon is under center for Tampa Bay, part of you waits for the other shoe to drop in regard to Evans' great run. He's obviously not going to play like this every week, but even when the fun ends, his numbers shouldn't fall off a cliff.

Jermaine Gresham, TE, Cincinnati Bengals

Sunday wasn't a good day to bank on a strong performance from your starting tight end. When Jimmy Graham only gets three receptions for 29 yards, you know things didn't go well.

From that same game, Jermaine Gresham managed to have his best game of the season, catching just two passes—both of which were touchdowns—for 13 yards.

Perhaps more impressively, Gresham found two Bengals fans inside the Mercedes-Benz Superdome. He went to deliver one of his touchdown receptions to said fans, only to have a New Orleans Saints fan intercept the toss.

However, the Cincinnati tight end found one of the supporters on Twitter and pledged to make things right:

"

@PrincipalCara Truly sorry about you guys not getting that ball. I'll make sure you guys receive something greater for compensation.

— Jermaine Gresham (@JGresham84) November 16, 2014"

Just imagine how many points Gresham could've amassed if customer service was a fantasy football category.
