Week 11 2025 who should I start thread **OFFICIALLY UNOFFICIAL** (6 Viewers)

[Chaka]

This is where we ask questions and offer help.

Thank you to all the posters who come here to offer that help.

A couple notes:

I attempt to give well considered responses to all questions posted. I can't get to everything, but I'll try.

1) This only works if people participate. If you ask for help it is good form to offer help to someone else.

2) Please post the matchup. e.g. Penix vs Den or James Cook @ Mia (a lot of you are missing this one. We don't necessarily have all the matchups memorized, please don't make us do your legwork. TIA)

3) Please post important league scoring considerations (e.g. PPR, super-flex etc).

4) Please go easy on the nicknames, save that for other threads. We can't help if we don't know who you are talking about.

5) NEW REQUEST: Please remember that if you come here asking advice, it is greatly appreciated if you offer advice to others. TIA

View this as an exercise to help focus your thoughts about teams in general. Players you own may not be involved in these WDIS questions but certainly you will own players on many of these teams. Analyzing other players will help you identify things you may have otherwise not considered.

(Joe Edit: When you ask, please let us know which way you're leaning. And more importantly, why. What do you see as the pros and cons. Most people will be much more likely to help if they feel like you've put in a little work on this as well.)

Let's move on to week 11

@Joe Bryant @FBG Moderator

Can we get this pinned please?

 

[Chaka]

I'll start.

Super flex, PPR

I need 1 WR & 2 Flex players:
Zay Flowers @ CLE
Jameson @ PHI
Troy Franklin v KC
BTJ v LAC
T.Henderson v NYJ
Etienne v LAC
Rhamondre v NYJ
JCM @ MIA

Currently have Jamo in my lineup at WR2 for the big play potential because they all have tough matchups but, really I can make an argument for any of them. Except maybe BTJ, he seems impossible to trust ATM.

For my flex I have Henderson in but, if Rhamondre is back that comes into question. I am leaning to ETN for the last flex spot but I can easily make an argument for Franklin and Zay.

 

[Chaka]

PPR league

QB:
Caleb @ Min
Darnold @ LAR

I really have no idea where to go here. Caleb does very well against mid and bad defenses but, Minnesota is desperate for a win and, their D can definitely rise to the occasion. I tentatively lean towards Darnold.

not great options. i lean Caleb. Seems more likely of the two games to be a shootout to me, even though O/U is 48.5 for both.

 

[BlackCrowes]

0.5 ppr, start two

Rico @ Atl
Chase Brown @ Pit
Treveyon v NYJ

 

[Chaka]

0.5 ppr, start two

Rico @ Atl
Chase Brown @ Pit
Treveyon v NYJ

Gotta see if Rhamondre is going to play. That could make it a much easier decision.

If Rhamondre is out, I play Rico & Treveyon. If Rhamondre plays I probably go with Rico & Brown.

Rico>Henderson*>Brown

I go Darnold here. Not sure what it is about Caleb but I don't trust him to be anything other than feast or famine most weeks. Darnold was not great against Cards because he didn't need to be but will certainly be needed in this one. Lean Darnold.

 

[Rubi]

Thanks, I appreciate it and, agree. Darnold is likely the play this week.

I have seen the bolded a few times in the Darnold thread.

Darnold was great against the Cards and, they didn't need him to do anymore than what he did.

10 of 12 for 178 yards is a whopping 14.8 yards per attempt. That's insane. He had a pick and a fumble but, both occurred after the team was up 38-7 in the third quarter.

Dude is playing at an MVP level and no one is talking about it. I wish the Seahawks needed him to do more and, hope they do this week.

Their defense is tremendous, leads to a lot of clock grinding games. At the Rams smells like a game where he'll have to do a lot more but it's all guesswork, trying to figure out likely game scripts etc All we can really do is go with what is most likely and the rest is up to chance and the vagaries of the most unpredictable game out there.

Here's one:
FFPC scoring:
Need THREE of the following:

A. Jones vs Chi

X. Worthy @ Den

D. Samuel @ Mia (Madrid)

W. Robinson vs GB

C. Watson @ NYG

I hate trying to figure out the Minnesota backfield but, Jones sure looks to be the lead guy and, it's a good matchup. He may give up GL stuff to Mason but, I think maybe only when they are at the one. His TD came from the four.

Deebo was on the field 78% of the snaps this week, the next closest WAS receiver was at 39%. They're not very good but, Deebo & Ertz are the only game in town and, it's a good matchup. Still don't love him though.

Even without Surtain, I don't love playing that Denver defense, they get after the QB like no one else. That makes this feel like a Rice/Kelce hot route game. Worthy gives off that big play vibe but, it hasn't really shown up on Sundays. His career long play is 54 yards, last year. His two longest plays this season (37 & 35 yards were both in week two against the Ravens when their defense was reeling). He has one other play over 20 yards (27 against Was). He's seeing 6 targets/game since Rice came back which is nice but, his 11 catches have gone for 108 yards. Not sure why it isn't happening for him but, he's only been just okay.

Wan'Dale generates targets. It's a bad matchup but, volume is king and Wan'Dale sees that.

I like what I am seeing from Watson...mostly. That first pass to him last night was simply bizarre. He did a bad job tracking the ball and thought it was going to be an INT so, he gave up on the ball and played DB. The ball hit him in the back of the head. If he had tracked it better that could have been a TD. It would have been a tough catch but, he had position and the ball was on target. He doesn't get a lot of targets but, he's doing a solid job of converting. His two receptions last night (on four targets) went for 20 & 25). IMO he's your best home run guy, not Worthy (or Deebo). And it's a good matchup.

Jones>Wan'Dale>Watson>Deebo>Worthy

Onto week 11. Standard scoring non-ppr league.

I need to start 2 of these RB's:

Brown vs PIT - Coming off a bye and has been hot as of late; Perine questionable with a an ankle injury as well; Vidal ran well against PIT last week
Etienne vs LAC - quietly putting up numbers; had a decent game last week with a TD
Vidal vs JAC - On the road against JAC; Vidal is either hot or really cold; don't know which JAC team will show up

I'm also playing Tee Higgins if that plays into the equation. Both Brown and Higgins have fared well over their last two games so I'm not worried about the stack.

Thoughts?

As usual, thank you for all the input.

I picked up Ravens Defense this week so I can play them against the Jets in Week 12. For this week, who do I start at Defense:

Baltimore vs CLE - The BAL defense has been getting healthier plus the return of Lamar has them playing like pre-season projections
Denver vs KC - Even without Surtain, they are a strong D; do I bench them against KC for the more favorable matchup with BAL above?

Thank you!

Purely my opinion: I think you play Ravens. KC coming from a bye in a road divisional game could get kinda wild. Now sometimes "wild" creates fantasy points for defenses...so there's that take.

Got to play BAL. Surtain is a big loss and KC will still score 24-30 against them. Too much upside with BAL since CLE won't light up the scoreboard.

Maye vs NYJ
Mayfield @ BUF

D Adams vs SEA

Your QB choice is really tough. I would go Maye if you want the higher floor, and I would go Mayfield if you need the ceiling, since TB-BUF could be a shootout.

Out the 4 for RB/Flex, I would sit Brown. PIT has been good against the run, especially at home, they contained Taylor recently. PIT D was embarrassed at CIN earlier this year, I suspect this game could be a slugfest. Warren is a must start of the 4, Rico has been really solid, and Adams has been a TD machine and that game could be high scoring.

Tough call but, I probably bench Vidal. Jacksonville is still a tough defense against the run. He also hasn't been a big factor in the passing game.

But, really you can make an argument against any of them.

ETN>Brown>Vidal

You're going to get more consistency with Mahomes and he has just as much upside.

Darnold is playing at an MVP level. Nix is still putting up weekly numbers but, it feels like he is more up and down than Darnold.

I like Nix for ceiling but, I think Darnold has more consistency and still good upside.

Darnold>Nix
=================
Tough call at RB. I guess you can hope Monangai gets the hot hand and Ben Johnson features him more. It's also a, somewhat better matchup.

KWIII is probably most likely to hit his expected touch count and, he still has upside even if he isn't the back we thought he was going to be after his rookie season.

Charbs is TD dependent IMO. He has decent TD upside but it's a smaller window of opportunity.

KWIII>Monangai>Charbs

This is more of a "who do I drop" question. Looking at reacquiring Burrow (dropped a few weeks ago) for the playoff stretch. My "usual" starters are listed in bold. We start 1-4 RB, 2-5 WR, and 1-4 TE (three true flex), and scoring is tiered PPR (0.5 for RB, 0.75 for WR, and a full point for TE). Lowest "rest of season" projections are Hubbard (25-ish pts), followed by Boutte and Tracy (around 55 each).

I could drop...

Flacco - Seems a little premature to drop him, considering Burrow's return isn't even for certain. And, I may start him this week over Darnold.

Hubbard - On paper, this is the guy (lowest ROS projected). But, given that I start Dowdle every week as my lone starting RB, Chubba has some upside value if Rico were to get hurt. Basically a handcuff at this point, but RB's are slim on the wire, and I don't trust Tracy.

Tracy - That would leave me with just the two CAR backs.

Boutte - He's hurt, and the lowest projected WR on my roster in terms of ROS. That said, he was on a pretty good run before getting dinged.

Meyers or Washington - Not even sure which JAC WR is more valuable at this point?

Otton - He's really just depth unless another player goes down. That said, TE-premium scoring makes him more roster-worthy than normal.

Loveland - Ditto. Less consistent than Otton but MAYBE more upside?

Given my depth at WR, one of the three (Boutte/Meyers/Washington) probably makes the most sense. Or maybe Otton or Loveland? Or just cut bait on Tracy since he's got the same Week 14 bye as CAR, and he feels like I'm just chasing 2024 production by continuing to hold him. Thoughts?

You don't want two Jags WRs IMO. I just dropped Jakobi and kept BTJ (because I'm stubborn).

I probably keep Jakobi over Washington but, really who knows?

You don't want two Jags WRs IMO. I just dropped Jakobi and kept BTJ (because I'm stubborn).

I probably keep Jakobi over Washington but, really who knows?

You're probably right. I guess I was hoping to hold them both for another week in case one establishes himself over the other as the top target guy. Of course, one week might not tell/determine that, anyway, so I should probably just guess and drop one. Thanks.

Maye vs NYJ
Barkley vs Det
Achane vs Wash
McConkey @ Jax
Rice @ Den
London vs Car
McBride vs SF
JCook vs TB
NCollins @ Ten

Bench:

Devonta Smith vs Det

Would you sub either bench guy for someone in my starting lineup? Thanks.

i like Devonta Smith more than Rice vs Denver. Jalen likes him and it could be a higher volume passing game

Thanks for encouraging me to start TreVeyon last week!

Now, with Rhamondre just now officially ruled out, should I go with Henderson again tomorrow night vs NYJ, or Jaylen Warren in the extremely favorable vs CIN matchup?

League is PPR

I am in a similar boat here. Came to ask in .5ppr start two:

Warren vs CIN
Hendy vs NYJ
Judkins vs BAL

Honestly I'm leaning Warren because I don't know if I want to bet on Hendo breaking off a long TD or two again (and Judkins has fallen off with Gabriel QBing), and it really feels like it should be a Warren smash game despite his relatively small snap share last week

I think Warren is the lock for me too. Judkins I am worried about BAL getting out to a lead and CLE abandoning the run game. So for me its Hendy vs Judkins with a slight lean to Hendy. For you I think Warren over Hendy.

Man. The good news is you've got first world problems. I am honestly not sure but, I will say that Jaylen may be more consistently involved in the passing game. Henderson went from six targets two weeks ago to 1 this past week. And they were both close games for the most part.

I don't think the Jets sustain last weeks circle-the-wagons bump on the road in New England and, this should be a rout. I think the Steelers game will be less of a rout and, I think the Bengals may pull it off with a bump from the news Burrow is practicing. They are definitely not out of the division race.

Henderson had those big runs and another 16 yarder but, he hasn't really been super efficient. I like him a lot but, he may be more big play dependent until the game slows down for him.

Bottom line is I keep going back and forth and am not sure who I would start. I really, really want to say Henderson but, I think Warren may be the right call because of his utility in the passing game. Plus I worry that McDaniels & Vrable will stubbornly continue to frustratingly deploy Jennings.

Ugh. Good problem...

Warren>Henderson
