As fantasy football managers finalize their lineups for Week 11, some may have to wait until the last minute as they monitor vital injury updates on their star players. One of the most challenging aspects of fantasy football can be deciding which players to start when their status for the game is unknown.
What makes these decisions even more difficult is when your injured player is playing the final game of the week on Monday Night Football. Owners must decide whether to risk that player being healthy enough to be active or take a chance on streaming a less risky but perhaps less effective replacement.
Is Kyler Murray or Colt McCoy the Arizona Cardinals' starting quarterback this Monday night when they take on the San Francisco 49ers in Mexico City?

Is Kyler Murray Or Colt McCoy Starting In Week 11 Fantasy Football?
Kyler Murray has been dealing with a hamstring injury for two weeks and is listed as questionable heading into Week 11. The key question is, will Murray play, or will backup QB Colt McCoy replace him for the second straight week? McCoy is dealing with an injured knee, and the backup is also questionable for Monday night.
On Friday, head coach Kliff Kingsbury hinted that Murray was making significant progress, yet his star quarterback is a game-time decision for Monday night. If Murray plays and is compromised in any way, he's best left on your bench. If he doesn't play, Colt McCoy is not the answer.
Should I Stream A QB For Week 11, Or Take A Risk And Hope Kyler Murray Plays?
Do you like to gamble? Do you consider yourself lucky? If you answered yes to both of these questions, then slide Murray into your QB slot at the top of your roster and cross your fingers. If you answered no, Plan B isn't that terrible.
Complicating matters is that his star wide receiver and target magnet DeAndre Hopkins is also questionable for Monday night's game. Two players, two barking hamstrings, unknown availabilities, and facing a tough defense. File under things that are not recipes for fantasy success.
The advice here is to see what happens on Monday night, give Murray another week to get closer to 100%, and stream a healthy QB for Week 11. Russell Wilson, Daniel Jones, and Jimmy Garoppolo are all likely available via waivers, and each has a favorable matchup. Pick one up, say your prayers, and hope they are answered.
