Week 11 Fantasy Football Rankings: Top Players and Matchups for All Positions

Zach Buckley

Still reeling from a tough fantasy football loss during Week 10 of the 2024 NFL season?

Don't worry, there's a welcome distraction on the way: Week 11.

Fantasy managers should know by now that emotions are fleeting during the football season. So, no matter if you're riding high, low or anywhere in between, you need to set that aside and focus on what's coming next.

We'll help you make the switch with an early look at our skill position rankings for Week 11, along with a spotlight on the best matchup at each spot.

Top 10

1. Jalen Hurts, PHI (vs. WAS)

2. Lamar Jackson, BAL (at PIT)

3. Josh Allen, BUF (vs. KC)

4. Joe Burrow, CIN (at LAC)

5. Brock Purdy, SF (vs. SEA)

6. Jared Goff, DET (vs. JAX)

7. Jayden Daniels, WAS (at PHI)

8. C.J. Stroud, HOU (at DAL)

9. Patrick Mahomes, KC (at BUF)

10. Russell Wilson, PIT (vs. BAL)

Best matchup: Jared Goff vs. Jacksonville Jaguars

The Lions have proved more than willing to ground-and-pound their opponents if able to, which isn't always great news for Goff's statistical volume. That has allowed him to choose his spots, though, which has helped with his efficiency. He seldom wastes the opportunities he gets.

It's hard to see that changing against Jacksonville. Yes, the Jaguars just limited Sam Darnold to a near-silent effort (no touchdowns, three interceptions), but that outing was the exception to the rule. Six different quarterbacks have tallied multiple touchdown passes against this defense, including Joe Flacco (359 yards and three scores), Caleb Williams (226 yards and four touchdowns) and Drake Maye (276 yards and two touchdowns).

Top 10

1. Saquon Barkley, PHI (vs. WAS)

2. Derrick Henry, BAL (at PIT)

3. Christian McCaffrey, SF (vs. SEA)

4. Joe Mixon, HOU (at DAL)

5. Alvin Kamara, NO (vs. CLE)

6. Kyren Williams, LAR (at NE)

7. Jahmyr Gibbs, DET (vs. JAX)

8. Bijan Robinson, ATL (at DEN)

9. Kenneth Walker III, SEA (at SF)

10. Jonathan Taylor, IND (at NYJ)

Best matchup: Joe Mixon at Dallas Cowboys

Mixon has suited up seven times this season and delivered elite fantasy production in six of those contests. Even though he was about as inefficient as a runner can be Sunday (46 yards on 25 carries), he still found his way into the end zone and fleshed out his stat line with 44 receiving yards.

His volume is elite (24-plus carries in four consecutive contests), and his upcoming matchup looks incredibly inviting. Dallas' run defense is bottom-third in the league in yards per game, yards per carry and touchdowns.

Top 10

1. Ja'Marr Chase, CIN (at LAC)

2. Amon-Ra St. Brown, DET (vs. JAX)

3. Justin Jefferson, MIN (at TEN)

4. A.J. Brown, PHI (vs. WAS)

5. CeeDee Lamb, DAL (vs. HOU)

6. Nico Collins, HOU (at DAL)

7. Tyreek Hill, MIA (vs. LV)

8. George Pickens, PIT (vs. BAL)

9. Deebo Samuel Sr., SF (vs. SEA)

10. DK Metcalf, SEA (at SF)

Best matchup: George Pickens vs. Baltimore Ravens

Perkins doesn't necessarily need a favorable matchup to post high-end numbers. His production has already perked up plenty since Pittsburgh gave Russell Wilson control of this offense. During Wilson's first three starts, Pickens tallied 14 receptions on 21 targets for 276 yards and two touchdowns.

While Pickens is proving he can perform against anyone, the fantasy gods are still giving him an incredible matchup here. Just ask Ja'Marr Chase, whose two outings against these Ravens yielded 21 receptions for 457 yards and five touchdowns.

Tight End

Top 10

1. George Kittle, SF (vs. SEA)

2. Travis Kelce, KC (at BUF)

3. Brock Bowers, LV (at MIA)

4. Evan Engram, JAX (at DET)

5. David Njoku, CLE (at NO)

6. T.J. Hockenson, MIN (at TEN)

7. Dallas Goedert, PHI (vs. WAS)

8. Mark Andrews, BAL (at PIT)

9. Dalton Kincaid, BUF (vs. KC)

10. Kyle Pitts, ATL (at DEN)

Best matchup: Dalton Kincaid vs. Kansas City Chiefs

Assuming Kincaid's knee injury doesn't keep him off the field, he could be in line for a solid (or better) showing against Kansas City.

The five targets he saw Sunday before his early exit were his fewest in seven outings. With Keon Coleman on the shelf, Kincaid has a chance to be as involved as ever. That should mean nothing but positives against a Kansas City defense that has struggled to contain tight ends.
