NFL Week 11 Predictions: Projecting the Week's Best Rookie Performances

The 2011 rookie class has been headlined by the Carolina Panthers' Cam Newton and the Cincinnati Bengals' Andy Dalton. 

A.J. Green hasn't had a bad year, either. 

Which rookies will make the greatest impact in Week 11?

1. DeMarco Murray 

Murray has taken over the feature back role in the Cowboys offense with his explosiveness between he tackles and speed around the edge. 

The Redskins' defense isn't atrocious, but they've had trouble stopping the run consistently this season, allowing over 120 yards and 4.2 yards per rush.

The Cowboys have leaned on Murray to alleviate some pressure form Tony Romo and it has paid huge dividends over the last month. 

He'll have another monster game this week in the nation's capital. 

2. Jon Baldwin 

I know Tyler Palko will be throwing him the football, but at least the Chiefs are playing the Patriots, who still have one of the worst secondaries in football. 

Palko isn't the most accurate quarterback, but with Baldwin, all he'll need to do is throw the jump ball his way. 

How about his ridiculous catch last week against Denver. (Forget that it was wiped away by a Broncos penalty.)

Kansas City should be able to move the football in this game, although I fully expect New England to come away with a big victory. 

3. Vincent Brown 

The Chargers have lost four straight, but Brown has filled in admirably for Malcolm Floyd. 

He had five catches for 97 yards and one touchdown last week against the Raiders and with Floyd likely to sit out again, it is likely that Brown will be a go-to target in Week 11 against the Bears in Chicago. 

Teams often dedicate most of their defensive game plan to stopping Vincent Jackson and Antonio Gates, and Brown has taken full advantage of his opportunity.
