Understanding Week 11 Fantasy Football matchups can be a game-changer, especially with Detroit Lions players likely dominating the rankings. Their favorable pairing against the Jacksonville Jaguars, a defense surrendering an NFL-worst 390.6 yards per game, makes key Lions like running back Jahmyr Gibbs and wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown prime picks.
However, questions linger about quarterback Jared Goff after his five-interception performance last week. The Lions are favored by 13.5 points, the largest spread of the season, adding intrigue to Week 11 start-sit decisions and trade strategies. For the most accurate rankings and tips, SportsLine’s proven computer model can provide guidance before setting your lineups.
Why SportsLine’s Model Stands Out
Over recent seasons, SportsLine’s predictive model has consistently outperformed human Fantasy experts, particularly in evaluating players with wide ranking discrepancies. This accuracy has been pivotal for Fantasy managers, turning potential midseason decisions into league-winning moves. The model’s track record includes early recommendations for stars like A.J. Brown, Jonathan Taylor, and Jahmyr Gibbs. Those who followed its advice have reaped significant rewards.

Top Week 11 Fantasy Football Picks by Position
Quarterbacks
1. Lamar Jackson (Ravens)
Jackson continues his MVP-level season, boasting 290 passing yards, four touchdowns, and 33 rushing yards in a narrow win against the Bengals last week. With 14 touchdown passes over his last four games, he’s the model’s No. 1 QB for Week 11.
2. Josh Allen (Bills)
Despite no passing touchdowns last week, Allen contributed 50 rushing yards and a score in the Bills’ victory. With 17 passing TDs and four rushing TDs this season, Allen thrives in high-scoring matchups, including this week’s game against the Chiefs.
3. Brock Purdy (49ers)
Purdy capitalized on Christian McCaffrey’s return last week, throwing for 353 yards and two touchdowns. He’ll face a Seahawks defense he already shredded for 255 yards and three touchdowns earlier this season.
Running Backs
1. Christian McCaffrey (49ers)
Back from injury, McCaffrey played 88% of snaps last week, amassing 107 scrimmage yards. His heavy workload makes him a top RB for Week 11.
2. De’Von Achane (Dolphins)
Though held to 52 scrimmage yards last week, Achane’s explosiveness makes him a strong play against the Raiders’ subpar run defense.
3. Bijan Robinson (Falcons)
With 100+ scrimmage yards in five straight games and six touchdowns during that stretch, Robinson remains a high-usage star heading into a matchup with the Broncos.
Wide Receivers
1. Nico Collins (Texans)
After a five-week injury absence, Collins returns against the Cowboys’ porous secondary. Before his injury, he averaged eight receptions and 141.8 yards per game.
2. Ja’Marr Chase (Bengals)
Chase’s 11 catches, 264 yards, and three touchdowns last week underscored his dominance. He leads the NFL in receptions, yards, and touchdowns, making him a top option against the Chargers.
3. Amon-Ra St. Brown (Lions)
St. Brown has scored in seven straight games. Facing a Jaguars defense ranked 30th in passing yards allowed, he’s poised for another big performance.
Tight Ends
1. George Kittle (49ers)
A critical part of the 49ers’ offense, Kittle’s blocking versatility ensures high snap counts. His seven touchdowns this season highlight his Fantasy value, though he’s questionable with a hamstring injury.
2. Travis Kelce (Chiefs)
Kelce continues to dominate, with 32 catches for 254 yards and two touchdowns over his last three games. His heavy usage cements him as a top TE pick.
3. Brock Bowers (Raiders)
The rookie has been stellar, leading tight ends in receiving yards and yards after catch. Expect him to shine against the Dolphins.
Defenses
1. Texans D/ST
Houston ranks third in yards allowed and faces a Cowboys offense sticking with struggling QB Cooper Rush.
2. Saints D/ST
After upsetting the Falcons last week, the Saints now face a turnover-prone Browns offense.
3. Vikings D/ST
With a stingy defense allowing the third-fewest points, the Vikings will look to exploit the Titans’ -11 turnover differential.
