JUMP TO:
The NFL’s Week 11 takes only two teams away from fantasy football managers. The Indianapolis Colts’ Daniel Jones and, coming off a career-best week, the New Orleans Saints’ Tyler Shough will not be eligible for this week’s lineups.
Still, this means that some of the game’s best signal-callers re-emerge from their Week 10 byes, and the position remains flush with useful names to consider.

BEST FANTASY PICKUPS: Week 11 waiver wire guide
Fantasy QBs on Week 11 Bye
- Daniel Jones, Colts
- Tyler Shough, Saints
Manage your lineup with our Week 11 fantasy bye weeks planner.
Which QB injuries should I monitor for fantasy Week 11?
Early reports say Jaxson Dart (concussion) will not play, and the Giants are preparing to start Jameis Winston, with Russell Wilson as the No. 2 slinger.
Winston deserves an immediate add from the waiver wire in superflex/2QB leagues; this offense can still sling it even with all the injuries to top skill players.
Who are the best Week 11 fantasy QBs?
Justin Herbert occupies the initial QB1 spot thanks to a matchup with a Jaguars defense that just let Davis Mills cut them into pieces. The Chargers’ deep receiver corps should help No. 17 attack them through the air.
Over to another No. 17 … we’ll go ahead and put Josh Allen back toward the top tiers despite the Bills’ disastrous loss at the Dolphins. The Buccaneers continue serving as a doormat for fantasy quarterbacks, and Allen should find more opportunities to throw.
We’re going to override concerns over facing a staunch Browns passing defense and possible mismatch along the trenches and keep Lamar Jackson close to the top five fantasy options. Jackson should do plenty with his legs upon escaping the pocket to circumvent any defensive strengths in the secondary.
The top 10 is rounded out with excellent matchup boosts for former teammates Aaron Rodgers (vs. Bengals) and Jordan Love (at Giants), both nearly consistent residents among the five weakest defenses against quarterbacks this year.
Which fantasy QB sleepers should I stream for Week 11?
Tier 4 showcases streamer-worthy names with inviting matchups in the statistical realm.
J.J. McCarthy (vs. Bears), Joe Flacco (vs. Steelers), Tua Tagovailoa (vs. Commanders), and Marcus Mariota (at Dolphins) all get a matchup boost with many of these opponents as high as top-3 in defense vs. opponent fantasy points allowance. Flacco and the Bengals coming off a bye remains most enticing to back.
Mac Jones or Brock Purdy (toe), if he’s ready to go, face a Cardinals defense that was gashed by the Seahawks in Week 10. Especially if the 49ers get Ricky Pearsall (knee) back, they should present mismatches to elevate the San Francisco quarterback, especially in superflex/2QB formats.

Which quarterbacks rank as fantasy Week 11 busts?
Dak Prescott may not be able to find much time to throw with the Cowboys mediocre-at-best offensive line against Maxx Crosby. He’s still starter-worthy, depending on other options, but those with little loyalty to the position should seek other options.
Matthew Stafford torched the 49ers but should have much bumpier terrain against the Seahawks in the back leg of an NFC West gauntlet. Same goes for the opponent across the line of scrimmage, Sam Darnold.
