2025 Fantasy Football: Week 11 Quarterback Rankings (Weekend Update!)

Thanksgiving might not be my absolute favorite holiday, but let’s be honest — spending the day surrounded by family, eating good food, and watching football is basically my happy place. When you’ve got the three F’s — family, food, and football — it’s tough to beat. There’s something about the smell of turkey in the smoker, a full plate in front of you, and a full slate of games on TV that just feels right.

And while the day is supposed to be about gratitude, fantasy football has a funny way of turning it into Slapsgiving. One minute you’re feeling thankful for your quarterback’s juicy matchup — the next, you’re the one getting metaphorically slapped after a 8-point dud against a soft defense. But hey, that’s part of the fun. Every week brings a fresh chance to dish out a little fantasy revenge of your own.

So grab a plate, settle into your favorite couch spot, and dig in — it’s time for the Week 11 Fantasy Football QB Rankings. Let’s see which quarterbacks are ready to serve up something to be thankful for, and which ones might just leave us feeling like Charlie Brown after Lucy pulled away the football.

🍂 Week 10 Recap: Surprise Servings and Sour Bites

Week 10 brought chaos to the quarterback table — with unexpected guests stealing the spotlight and a few familiar faces leaving fantasy managers hungry for more.

Davis Mills stepped in for an injured C.J. Stroud (concussion) and cooked up a stunning performance, posting 28.7 fantasy points and leading Houston to a comeback win over Jacksonville. It was the kind of “next man up” story that makes fantasy football so unpredictable — and so fun.

Right behind him, Matthew Stafford delivered another gem with 26.9 points, continuing his quiet march toward real-life MVP consideration. And the rookie duel between Jaxson Dart (26.3) and Caleb Williams (25.1) lived up to the hype, as both young passers put on a show that felt more like a glimpse into the league’s future than just another Sunday slate.

But not everyone was feasting. Sam Darnold had a dream matchup against Arizona and still managed just 5.9 fantasy points, undone by a blowout that had the Seahawks in cruise control by halftime. Jalen Hurts stumbled to only 12.0 points — his second-lowest output of the year — while Jordan Love continued his slide with 7.8 points, leaving managers questioning whether he’s a viable starter at all moving forward.

With injuries piling up and the standings tightening, Week 10 reminded us that in fantasy football, heroes can come from anywhere — and sometimes, the “sure things” are anything but.

🔥 High-Total Games (Shootout Potential – 47+)

These matchups are bursting with fantasy fireworks — perfect for stacking quarterbacks and unleashing some Halloween-week offense.

San Francisco 49ers @ Arizona Cardinals — O/U 49.0 (SF -2.5)

Brock Purdy is dealing with a toe injury, and while he’s expected to suit up, fantasy managers should keep a close eye on his status. Assuming he’s active, he’s a rock-solid QB1 thanks to his efficiency and the firepower around him — but for now, he sits as a low-end QB2 in my early rankings until he’s officially cleared.

Across the field, Jacoby Brissett has been quietly excellent over the past three weeks, finishing no lower than QB12 during that stretch. With a banged-up 49ers defense missing key starters, Brissett draws a sneaky-upside matchup that could make him one of the week’s most underrated streaming plays.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers @ Buffalo Bills — O/U 49.0 (BUF -5.5)

Josh Allen continues to serve up fantasy feasts, averaging over 24 fantasy points per game across his last three outings. Even against a scrappy Bucs defense, he remains an automatic top-three option at home. Expect plenty of red-zone seasoning and another double helping of rushing production — he’s as matchup-proof as it gets.

On the other side, Baker Mayfield has quietly been cooking again, tossing three touchdowns against New England last week. But this week’s test is far tougher — the Bills’ defense has allowed the second-fewest fantasy points to quarterbacks over the past three weeks. Baker’s mobility should keep his floor safe, but he profiles best as a steady mid-range QB2 on the road.

Cincinnati Bengals @ Pittsburgh Steelers — O/U 49.0 (PIT -5.5)

The Joe Flacco Renaissance is real. The veteran has found new life in Cincinnati’s offense, producing QB1 numbers in three straight weeks. Flacco remains an elite option — a QB1 play in all formats.

Aaron Rodgers faces off with him again after their Week 7 fireworks, where Rodgers finished QB7 and Flacco QB6. Expect another air-show sequel in the AFC North — two savvy veterans cooking up something spicy for fantasy managers.

Chicago Bears @ Minnesota Vikings — O/U 48.0 (MIN -3)

It’s the sophomore versus rookie showcase. Caleb Williams continues to look like a future MVP, and he’s fresh off another strong outing (25.1 points). Minnesota’s defense has struggled to contain mobile passers, giving Caleb another shot at top-five numbers.

J.J. McCarthy continues to impress in flashes, and at home in a potential shootout, he has sneaky QB1 upside. Expect both teams to trade haymakers early and often.

Seattle Seahawks @ L.A. Rams — O/U 48.5 (LAR -2.5)

Matthew Stafford is heating up, posting 26.9 fantasy points last week and looking sharp in Sean McVay’s rejuvenated offense. He’s a locked-in QB1 at home even against a tough Seahawks defense.

On the other side, Sam Darnold remains a volatile option. After a rough Week 10 dud, he’ll need the full offensive arsenal to keep pace. He’s a mid-QB2 — capable of 25+ or 10 flat, depending on game flow.

⚖️ Mid-Range Totals (Balanced – 44 to 47)

These games could go either way — full of fantasy candy or defensive cobwebs.

L.A. Chargers @ Jacksonville Jaguars — O/U 44.5 (LAC -2.5)

Justin Herbert remains fantasy royalty, even after a modest Week 10 showing. The Jaguars sit in the middle of the pack against the pass but have been vulnerable to explosive plays — exactly where Herbert thrives. With his arm talent and playmakers around him, he’s once again a locked-in top-10 option for Week 11.

Trevor Lawrence, meanwhile, came crashing back to earth last week with just nine fantasy points against Houston. Things don’t get any easier here: the Chargers have quietly allowed the fewest fantasy points to quarterbacks over the past three weeks. Lawrence is a talented passer, but this matchup sets up as another tough outing for the former No. 1 pick.

Kansas City Chiefs @ Denver Broncos — O/U 44.0 (KC -4)

Patrick Mahomes remains matchup-proof. Even against a stingy Denver defense, his floor is higher than most ceilings. Pencil him in for 275 yards and two scores minimum.

Bo Nix has been efficient and mobile, giving him steady QB2 appeal. The Broncos will need him to take more deep shots if they want to keep up with Mahomes and company.

🛑 Low-Total Games (Defensive Grind – 43 or Less)

Expect slower, grindy games — a few fantasy scares could lurk here.

N.Y. Jets @ New England Patriots — O/U 43.5 (NE -13)

Drake Maye continues to impress with his poise and touch, and he should have little trouble at home against a Jets defense stripped of most of its playmakers. With improved chemistry in the short passing game and a favorable script, Maye profiles as a rock-solid QB1.

Justin Fields, meanwhile, still offers fantasy hope through his legs, but that rushing upside may not be enough this week. New England’s pass rush has been relentless, and the Patriots have quietly tightened up against mobile quarterbacks. Fields is best viewed as a desperation QB2 in one of the lowest-projected totals of the week.

Green Bay Packers @ N.Y. Giants — O/U 43.5 (GB -7)

If Jaxson Dart clears concussion protocol, he’s a no-brainer QB1 thanks to his legs.

Jordan Love continues to underwhelm and now draws a Giants defense that’s quietly improved. He’s a risky start, better left on the bench until further notice.

Baltimore Ravens @ Cleveland Browns — O/U 41.5 (BAL -8.5)

Lamar Jackson returned to elite form last week and should keep the momentum rolling. The Browns’ defense has regressed, making Lamar a top-three play this week.

Dillon Gabriel has shown flashes, but facing Baltimore’s pressure-heavy front is a tall order. He’s an emergency Superflex play only.

Houston Texans @ Tennessee Titans — O/U 40.0 (HOU -7.5)

If C.J. Stroud clears concussion protocol, he’s back in the QB1 conversation. Tennessee ranks 25th in pass defense, and Stroud’s rapport with Nico Collins gives him strong upside.

Cam Ward, meanwhile, faces a surging Houston defense and offers little appeal outside of deep two-QB formats.

Carolina Panthers @ Atlanta Falcons — O/U 42.5 (ATL -3.5)

Michael Penix Jr. has been a high-variance play, but at home, he’s worth a look as a streaming QB2. Carolina’s secondary is exploitable deep — giving him real upside.

Bryce Young has been steadier lately, but still capped by limited weapons. He’s a deep-league dart throw only.

Baltimore Ravens @ Cleveland Browns — O/U 41.5 (BAL -8.5)

Lamar Jackson has settled back in since returning from his hamstring injury, finishing as the QB9 and QB15 in his last two outings. Cleveland’s defense, once elite, has quietly slipped into mid-status, and Lamar’s dual-threat ceiling puts him right back into top-three QB territory this week. Expect a heavy dose of designed runs and red-zone magic.

Dillon Gabriel has shown flashes, but a date with Baltimore’s relentless pressure is no picnic. He’s nothing more than an emergency Superflex option in this defensive-leaning matchup.

🌙 Primetime Magic — Sunday & Monday Night

Detroit Lions @ Philadelphia Eagles — O/U 46.5 (PHI -2.5)

This primetime matchup has “statement game” written all over it. Jared Goff has a tough test on the road against an elite Eagles defense. He’s a safe mid-tier QB2 with a strong chance to exceed expectations if this one turns into a shootout.

Jalen Hurts, meanwhile, remains a fantasy cheat code even when his real-life efficiency dips. Coming off his second-lowest fantasy output of the season, expect a bounce-back under the lights at home. His rushing floor alone keeps him in the elite QB tier. Hurts should serve up another vintage dual-threat performance.

Dallas Cowboys @ Las Vegas Raiders — O/U 50.0 (DAL -3.5)

Dak Prescott has been carving defenses like a Thanksgiving turkey lately, averaging over 24 fantasy points in his last three home games. Under the primetime lights in Dallas, he should have his way against a Raiders defense that ranks near the bottom in both pressure rate and yards allowed per attempt. Another top-six finish feels almost inevitable — he’s a must-start in all formats.

As for Geno Smith, the thigh contusion is something to monitor, but if he’s cleared and moving well, don’t sleep on a surprise performance. The Cowboys’ defense can be aggressive to a fault, and Geno’s deep-ball ability gives him sneaky back-end QB1 upside if this turns into the shootout it’s projected to be.
