Fantasy Football Running Backs to Start in Week 11

Maurice Jones-Drew (Jacksonville Jaguars) vs. Cleveland

MJD followed up his biggest game of the season with an even bigger game against the Houston Texans on Sunday.

He ran for 100 yards and two touchdowns to go along with 23 receiving yards. MJD now has 55 fantasy points in his past three games after putting up 56 points in the first six games.

When MJD gets at least 20 carries, he averages 105.2 yards per game. As long as the Jags get him the rock, he lives up to his RB1 status.

The Browns' run defense isn’t anything special, and MJD is hot. Look for a big game from Maurice.

Jamaal Charles (Kansas City Chiefs) vs. Arizona

Despite a lopsided loss for the Chiefs at Denver Sunday, Charles wasn’t forgotten in the offense.

He made a huge impact as a receiver with 80 yards and a touchdown to go along with his 41 yards on 14 carries.

The big thing to look at this week is that Thomas Jones had just four carries as Charles was the feature back for really the first time this season.

His talent and versatility gives the Chiefs more options than the bruising veteran Thomas Jones. Yet it’s likely the Chiefs continue to use both backs as a change of pace.

Charles’ talent makes him the more appealing option in Kansas City right now, as he has 74 fantasy points over the last five weeks. You can expect that to continue in Week 11 against the Arizona Cardinals.

Peyton Hillis (Cleveland Browns) @ Jacksonville

Hillis just keeps on chugging in 2010 no matter what defense lines up in front of him.

Hillis ran for 82 yards and a touchdown while catching five passes for 24 yards to put up yet another good fantasy performance.

Hillis has faced five top 15 run defenses in Pittsburgh, the Jets, Atlanta, Baltimore and Kansas City. In those games, he has 330 rushing yards, 187 receiving yards and, most importantly, four touchdowns.

The only game Hillis hasn’t found the end zone in was the Week 6 matchup against the Steelers. He already has nine total scores on the season.

His one issue is fumbling, as he has now lost four balls after losing another one Sunday. But the way he is running, he is in absolutely no danger of losing his job.

We know that Hillis can make his mark against good defenses, so he should have no problem taking care of a Jacksonville Jaguars defense that has already allowed 12 rushing touchdowns this season.
