Four teams are on byes this week, with Baker Mayfield and Kyler Murray the most notable quarterbacks on the bye week shelf. However, injuries have also affected the Week 11 quarterback rankings. Dak Prescott is officially done for the season due to an injured hamstring, and Trevor Lawrence’s season may be over if he decides to undergo shoulder surgery. Despite the depleted ranks, there are still appealing matchups to exploit this week. Let’s look at the Week 11 quarterback rankings to find out which signal-callers can help you the most.
Quarterbacks on Byes in Week 11
Kyler Murray, Bryce Young, Daniel Jones, Baker Mayfield
Injury Notes for Week 11
- Trevor Lawrence will miss another week with a sprained AC joint. Mac Jones will suit up against the Lions in Week 11 and is a desperation play in two-quarterback leagues.
Quarterback Notes
Bye Weeks: ARI, CAR, NYG, TB
- Justin Herbert has been rolling of late. He scored at least 19.5 fantasy points in his last three games, throwing a combined five touchdowns and zero interceptions. Herbert was also sneaky good on the ground in that span, racking up 88 rushing yards and a ground score. The good times should continue in Week 11. Herbert faces a shaky Cincinnati defense that allows the ninth-most passing yards to date. The unit is also vulnerable on the ground, ceding the most rushing yards and second-most rushing touchdowns to the position. Herbert should be able to take advantage. Opposing quarterbacks are averaging 21.6 fantasy points per game against the Bengals, and I expect Herbert to feast this week. He’s the QB7 in the Week 11 quarterback rankings.
- Russell Wilson has hit the ground running since taking over as the Steelers’ starter in Week 7. He has led Pittsburgh to three straight wins and is QB11 in fantasy points scored in that span. Another strong fantasy week is on tap against the Ravens. Baltimore has struggled to stop anything in the air, surrendering the most passing yards and touchdowns to opposing quarterbacks this season. They also allow the second-most fantasy points to the position. A big week is on tap for Wilson and he ranks as QB8 in the Week 11 quarterback rankings.
- Jared Goff is coming off his worst fantasy performance of the season, completing only half of his pass attempts for 240 yards, one touchdown, and a whopping five interceptions. Outside of being an ugly start, it also marked the second time in as many weeks that Goff failed to reach 10 fantasy points. However, Goff should be able to bounce back in Week 11. He gets one of the friendliest matchups of the week against the hapless Jaguars. Jacksonville has had problems containing the pass, giving up the third-most passing yards and fourth-most touchdowns on the year. Goff is set up for a rebound week as the Jaguars cede an average of 23 PPR points to signal-callers this season. He’s a back-end QB1 in the Week 11 quarterback rankings.
- Sam Darnold is one of the biggest fallers in the Week 11 quarterback rankings. He flopped against Jacksonville last week in what should have been a strong fantasy start. Instead, he failed to throw a touchdown, coughed up three interceptions, and finished with 6.4 fantasy points on the day. Given the poor performance, it’s difficult to trust Darnold in a tough Week 11 matchup against the Titans. While Tennessee is middle-of-the-road in terms of fantasy points allowed to the position, quarterbacks have struggled to move the ball against them. The Titans have given up the fewest passing yards and the second-fewest yards per attempt to quarterbacks this year. Avoid Darnold outside of single-quarterback leagues this week, if possible.
