We have been with you throughout the season and aren't stopping now as we help guide teams to the fantasy playoffs, ultimately a fantasy championship. We've got you covered and are breaking it down here with our PPR fantasy football running back rankings for Week 11 of the fantasy football season.
Outside a few exceptions, the old adage of running backs handling 20-plus carries per game is few and far between as most teams use a committee or split backfield. Picking the right RBs is crucial, so let's see where do vital fantasy running backs such as Tony Pollard, Breece Hall, Brian Robinson Jr., De'Von Achane, AJ Dillon, Devin Singletary, Ty Chandler, and Jerome Ford rank in Week 11? Read below to find out.
Our PPR fantasy football running back rankings for Week 11 are put together by Nick Mariano, Scott Engel, Andersen Pickard, and Brandon Murchinson. In addition to our staff rankings, below you will also find a summary of the important fantasy football injury news for this week. There are always key injuries to keep track of, so be sure to check back until kickoff.

Week 11 Running Back 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 running back options 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.
Breece Hall, RB, New York Jets
Week 11 Overall PPR Rankings: 23
Week 11 Running Back PPR Rankings: 8
New York Jets running back Breece Hall has been surprisingly inefficient over the past three weeks but will hope to turn things around against the Buffalo Bills in Week 11. The Bills have been stout against the pass this season but have been vulnerable to the running game, surrendering the 11th-most fantasy points per game to opposing backs.
Although it's possible that Dalvin Cook and Israel Abanikanda will begin to see more work following the release of Michael Carter, Hall should continue to earn the vast majority of carries and targets in New York's backfield. The 22-year-old should remain locked into starting fantasy lineups as a top-12 option for Sunday's divisional bout.
De'Von Achane, RB, Miami Dolphins
Week 11 Overall PPR Rankings:24
Week 11 Running Back PPR Rankings: 9
Miami Dolphins rookie running back De'Von Achane (knee) is officially listed as questionable to play on Sunday versus the Las Vegas Raiders. He has been on injured reserve since Week 5 but managed to log three consecutive limited practices this week. As of now, it looks like Achane will be activated prior to kickoff, especially after head coach Mike McDaniel said he was "very optimistic" about the rookie's chances of playing.
If confirmed as active, Achane would rank as a high-end RB2 in fantasy football, looking to pick up right where he left off. Achane totaled a whopping 455 rushing yards, 63 receiving yards, and seven touchdowns over just three weeks prior to injuring himself.
AJ Dillon, RB, Green Bay Packers
Week 11 Overall PPR Rankings: 103
Week 11 Running Back PPR Rankings: 36
Green Bay Packers running back AJ Dillon will face the Los Angeles Chargers this Sunday in Week 11. The 25-year-old gained 70 yards on nine carries last week and was the best runner out of the entire Packers backfield. Even with Aaron Jones back, Dillon has had double-digit touches over the past month and remains a staple of the offense. While it has not garnered massive fantasy production, it has left him in the flex conversation in plus matchups.
This week's game against the Chargers is one of those matchups. Los Angeles allows the 10-most fantasy points per game to running backs, making Dillon a solid flex option. Jones is still nursing the hamstring injury that has cost him time this year, and Dillon has done plenty with his limited workload. Consider the fourth-year back a flex-worthy option in Week 11.
Tony Pollard, RB, Dallas Cowboys
Week 11 Overall PPR Rankings: 41
Week 11 Running Back PPR Rankings: 18
Dallas Cowboys running back Tony Pollard will look to get back on track in a Week 11 game against the Carolina Panthers. Pollard has been struggling this season despite finally getting the role all of his fantasy managers wanted for him for years. He's been a fantasy RB1 only twice this season and has only put up double-digit fantasy points once since Week 4.
Last week, Pollard saw Rico Dowdle's role grow significantly, and the backup soundly outplayed the starter. Pollard and Dowdle will likely split backfield work once again this week, but the Panthers are a good matchup for running backs, making Pollard a low-end RB2 due to volume and a powerful offense around him.
Jerome Ford, RB, Cleveland Browns
Week 11 Overall PPR Rankings: 64
Week 11 Running Back PPR Rankings: 24
Cleveland Browns running back Jerome Ford will take on the Pittsburgh Steelers at home in Week 11. Ford has been held out of the end zone for three straight games, but he did notch a 100-yard rushing game in Week 10's win over the Baltimore Ravens. The Steelers have been a favorable matchup for running backs in 2023, as they are allowing the 10th-most fantasy points per game to the position.
The main concern here is that the Cleveland offense could struggle with efficiency with rookie Dorian Thompson-Robinson getting the start, but Ford is still a worthy fantasy start as a low-end RB2. The last time these two teams met back in Week 2, Ford ran for 106 yards and scored a receiving touchdown.
