Week 11 Quarterback Rankings Analysis
A new feature has been added to our weekly fantasy football rankings article. Below, you will find our fantasy football outlooks for key quarterbacks in Week 11, which gives readers a matchup preview of that player and advice on whether you should start or avoid for the upcoming week. We provide outlooks for all 32 NFL teams, which can be found on our player profile pages and our fantasy football news desk.
Matthew Stafford, QB, Los Angeles Rams
Week 11 Quarterback Rankings: 18
Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford (thumb) will return in Week 11 against the Seattle Seahawks after being removed from the final injury report. Head coach Sean McVay told reporters on Friday that this is the "healthiest" Stafford has been since the beginning of the season, which is a very encouraging sign.
The veteran signal-caller missed a week of action prior to the Rams' Week 10 bye with an ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) sprain in his right thumb. Stafford and rookie receiver Puka Nacua carved up the Seahawks in a Week 1 win without Cooper Kupp. However, with Stafford now healthy and Kupp back in the fold, we can expect good numbers from the Rams' pass-catchers this Sunday against a Seahawks defense that has looked suspect for the last few weeks.
Justin Fields, QB, Chicago Bears
Week 11 Quarterback Rankings: 13
Chicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields (thumb) practiced in full all week and has been removed from the final Week 11 injury report on Friday. It means he will start for the Bears on Sunday against the Detroit Lions to put an end to his four-game absence due to a dislocated right thumb.
The 24-year-old has QB1 upside whenever he's on the field because of his rushing prowess, but it would be wise to expect some rust in this one against a defense looking to bounce back after getting shredded by the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 10. Fields' return is also great news for the Bears offense as a whole, most notably for top wideout DJ Moore. Fields is best considered a QB2 in fantasy in his return with the upside for more.
Baker Mayfield, QB, Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Week 11 Quarterback Rankings: 21
Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield (thumb) appears to be fine heading into the Week 11 matchup versus the San Francisco 49ers. The former first-round pick has been exceeding expectations during his first season in Tampa Bay. Over the last three games, Mayfield has thrown multiple touchdowns in all three of those contests.
He'll get a fairly decent matchup versus the 49ers this weekend. A defense that is middle of the road this season in terms of passing defense. That being said, Mayfield should be considered a safe bet as a QB2 for this upcoming matchup.
