Week 11 Starter Help: NFL Fantasy Football | PPR & Standard Leagues

Sean E. DouglasNov 18, 2009

Now that the bye weeks are gone, fantasy football owners can finally start their entire team.

Well, maybe that isn't entirely true as a bunch of running backs went down with injuries this past weekend and will miss time.

Hopefully, your team didn't get blasted by these injuries (I know a few of my teams did), and you can roll on as usual.

This week we have our usual section on wounded warriors, as well as our rankings for top position players. We ranked the top-16 QB, TE, K and D/ST. We also have the top 30 RB's and top 35 WR's as well.

Wounded Warriors

Quarterbacks :

Broncos—Kyle Orton: First it was reported Kyle Orton would probably miss this week's game against the Chargers. Now the team is saying that Orton will start against the Chargers in a huge game for the division.

Look for Orton to be hobbled throughout the game and the Broncos will probably run the football a good amount.

Running Backs:

Eagles—Brian Westbrook: The Eagles may very well have lost Westbrook for the rest of the season with his second concussion in as many games. This is bad news for Westbrook as some are wondering if this will be career ending.

I do believe Westbrook will be back playing for someone next year, but I'm not sure he will play again (or should, for that matter) this season.

Look for LeSean McCoy to take over in the running game and be a factor for fantasy football owners going forward.

Seahawks—Julius Jones: The Seahawks will lose their top running back Julius Jones for at least a week or two. On Monday, the team announced that Jones had been bleeding in his lung.

Look for Justin Forsett to be the starting running back going forward, and I wouldn't be surprised if he keeps the job for the rest of the season. The former Cal standout had a big game against the Cardinals and is a better runner than Jones.

Bengals—Cedric Benson: The Bengals star running back injured his hip against the Steelers last week, but he may play this week. Cincinnati is looking to pickup Larry Johnson but will keep him on the inactive list every week.

As long as Johnson stays on the inactive list this is a good sign for Benson and his odds of playing this week. If Benson is out, look for backup Bernard Scott to start.

Falcons—Michael Turner: The Falcons are going to lose their star runner Michael Turner for at least a game or two with a high ankle sprain. Hopefully, Turner will be back soon and playing effective for fantasy owners.

This is a crushing blow to fantasy owners that are fighting to make the playoffs and have Turner.

Jason Snelling should get the start for the Falcons this weekend against the New York Giants.

Dolphins—Ronnie Brown: The Dolphins are already expecting Ronnie Brown to be out for this Thursday's game against the Panthers. Beyond that they are concerned that Brown could be out for longer.

Ricky Williams could have some big games ahead if Brown is, in fact, out for a while. The Dolphins get the Panthers and Bills in the next two weeks. What a horrible time to lose Brown.
