Early fantasy football rankings for Week 11: PPR and non-PPR

Week 10 of the 2025 fantasy football season was a mix of the unexpected and the unbelievable.

With ‘Monday Night Football’ pending, the top-12 at quarterback includes Davis Mills (QB1), Dillon Gabriel (QB9), and Tyler Shough (QB12). Additionally, Matthew Stafford notched his fifth top-eight finish in six games, while Jaxson Dart got his fourth in five outings. At running back, Jonathan Taylor (48.1 half-PPR points) outscored the top two fantasy wideouts combined by 5.8. The RB3 (Jahmyr Gibbs) outpaced the WR1 (Drake London) by 15.3 half-PPR points. That gap alone was more than the WR16 (Puka Nacua, 14.9) posted. Meanwhile, the back end of the TE1 group included names like Colby Parkinson, Jackson Hawes, and Luke Farrell. Lovely.

Week 11 fantasy football quarterback rankings: Risers and sleepers

• Bengals QB Joe Flacco (52% rostered) – Since taking over the Bengals’ starting gig in Week 6, Flacco is astonishingly fantasy’s QB1 in points per game. The 40-year-old had racked up 18.8, 26.0, 24.3 and 32.7 fantasy points in his four outings prior to the bye. In Week 11, he’ll take on a Steelers team that’s ceded the seventh-most fantasy points to the position.
• Cardinals QB Jacoby Brissett (29%) – Brissett has been impressive in his own right. Since Week 6, the veteran ranks as the QB9 in points per game and has yet to post fewer than 19.4 fantasy points. He’s an excellent streamer against a 49ers defense that’s given up the sixth-most fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks since Week 5.
• Steelers QB Aaron Rodgers (38%) – Rodgers is coming off one of the worst games of his lengthy career, but he’ll be in a great position to bounce back in Week 11. The Steelers will take on the Bengals, who have surrendered the second-most fantasy points to signal-callers in 2025. Six passers have surpassed 20 fantasy points against this defense, and none have dipped below 14.2.
• Other QB sleepers – 49ers QB Mac Jones (9%), Commanders QB Marcus Mariota (14%).

Week 11 fantasy football running back rankings: Risers and sleepers

• Cardinals RB Emari Demercado (37%) – In Week 10, Demercado finished with just three fewer snaps than Bam Knight and ran one more route. Knight also picked up an ankle injury at the end of that contest and didn’t return. If Knight were to be out, Demercado would be in the RB2 conversation against a 49ers defense that’s allowed the 12th-most fantasy points to the position. Even if Knight plays, Demercado is in play as a flex option.
• Rams RB Blake Corum (11%) – While Kyren Williams is still the lead back for the Rams, Corum has carved out enough of a role to make himself viable in deeper leagues. The 24-year-old has totaled 13 touches in three consecutive games. Corum remains one of the more valuable handcuffs in all of fantasy.
• Giants RB Devin Singletary (25%) – While Tyrone Tracy Jr. dominated snaps this week, Singletary had enough of a role to make himself useful to managers desperate for RB production. The veteran has now racked up 10 and 11 opportunities (carries plus targets) over his last two games, respectively.
• Buccaneers RB Sean Tucker (7%) – Among running backs with at least 80 carries in 2025, Rachaad White’s 3.7 yards per carry ranks sixth-worst, and his 1.3 yards after contact per attempt ranks fifth-worst. Tucker hasn’t fared much better, but White’s inefficiency has led to an uptick in usage for the 24-year-old. Over the last two games, Tucker has 21 carries to White’s 23, including a four-to-three edge in red zone attempts.
• Other RB sleepers – Titans RB Tyjae Spears (36%), 49ers RB Brian Robinson Jr. (24%).

Week 11 fantasy football wide receiver rankings: Risers and sleepers

• Buccaneers WR Tez Johnson (32%) – While Emeka Egbuka has cemented himself as the clear WR1 for Tampa Bay, Johnson is emerging as the WR2 with Chris Godwin and Mike Evans out of the lineup. In Week 10, the 23-year-old finished second on the team in snaps (57) and routes (39), while generating five targets. It was Johnson’s third consecutive game with at least five looks. Johnson also finished with three red zone targets, tied for third-most at the position. Johnson will be a WR3 against the Bills in a game that’s bound to be a high-scoring affair.
• Broncos WR Troy Franklin (54%) – Is Franklin the new WR1 in Denver? While Sutton still had the edge in snaps (53 to 45) and routes (29 to 27), Franklin had far more targets (9 to 4). In fact, since Week 7, Franklin’s 37 targets rank fifth at the position and are 11 more than Sutton has generated. While the matchup with the Chiefs is a tough one, Franklin’s volume puts him in the top-30 conversation.
• Jaguars WR Parker Washington (41%) – Granted, it was only Jakobi Meyers’ first week with the team, but with Brian Thomas Jr. nursing a high-ankle sprain, Washington led the team in snaps (54), routes (30), and targets (7). The 23-year-old turned that volume into three receptions for 33 yards and a score. The fact that he did it against a tough Texans defense will make him easier to stream against a stringy Chargers’ secondary.
• Bears WR Luther Burden III (6%) – With D.J. Moore banged up and putting up a goose egg in Week 10, it’s possible that we’ll see Burden’s role increase as the season continues. Bears head coach Ben Johnson said, ‘There’s a strong argument we should get him the ball more,’ and that makes him worth a speculative add in deeper leagues.
• Other WR sleepers – Packers WR Christian Watson (32%), Patriots WR Kyle Williams (2%), Jets WR Adonai Mitchell (1%).

Week 11 fantasy football tight end rankings: Risers and sleepers

• Bears TE Colston Loveland (46%) – While Cole Kmat out-snapped the rookie 45-to-42 in Week 10, Loveland had the edge in routes (23 to 19) and targets (4 to 2). In Week 11, he’ll face a Vikings defense that’s allowed the fourth-most fantasy points to tight ends since Week 5.
• Steelers TE Pat Freiermuth (11%) – On the season, the Bengals are allowing 19.4 half-PPR points per game to opposing tight ends, which is 4.2 more than the next-closest team. For comparison, fantasy’s TE1 (Trey McBride) is averaging 14.1 half-PPR points per game. Cincy had ceded more than 10 points to six tight ends in their last five games, including 25.6 to Freiermith in Week 7.
• Other TE sleepers – Buccaneers TE Cade Otton (42%), Giants TE Theo Johnson (42%), Texans TE Dalton Schultz (34%).

Week 11 fantasy football defense (D/ST) rankings: Risers and sleepers

• Bears DST at Vikings (28%) – On the season, only two teams have allowed more fantasy points to opposing defenses than the Vikings. Using Yahoo scoring, the only team that has failed to total at least seven fantasy points against Minnesota was the Bengals in Week 3. Through nine games, the Vikings have taken 34 sacks while committing 16 turnovers.
• Dallas DST at Raiders (7%) – In 2025, only the Titans are ceding more fantasy points to the opposition’s defense than the Raiders. In fact, Vegas has surrendered double-digit fantasy points in six of its last eight games. Meanwhile, the Dallas squad has had its moments recently, posting 15 and 13 fantasy points in two of its last three contests.
• Other D/ST sleepers – Falcons vs. Panthers (11%), Titans vs. Texans (1%, only if Davis Mills starts).

Week 11 fantasy football kicker rankings: Risers and sleepers

• Bears K Cairo Santos (29%)
• Jets K Nick Folk (3%)
