Fantasy Football: Week 11 Breakout Candidates in Top RB Committees

The NFL regular season is progressing into Week 11, presenting various opportunities for fantasy football enthusiasts. This week, several running back (RB) committees are emerging as potential goldmines for breakout candidates. With a total of 30 teams in action, fantasy managers need to evaluate the utilization of their RBs amid changing dynamics throughout the league.

Fantasy Football RB Breakout Candidates: Week 11

As playoff races heat up, teams are opting for RB committees to maximize efficiency and depth. Analyzing these backfields can reveal potential breakout candidates as the season intensifies.

New York Giants RB Committee

The Giants are undergoing significant changes, including a coaching shake-up and injuries. Rookie QB Jaxson Dart faces uncertainty, and Jameis Winston might start in his absence. With standout rookie Cam Skattebo out for the season, Tyrone Tracy Jr. and Devin Singletary are sharing the workload.

Tyrone Tracy Jr.: 14 carries for 71 yards in Week 10.
Devin Singletary: 8 carries for 20 yards, plus 3 receptions for 53 yards.

Despite their potential, both players face challenging matchups against the Packers, Lions, and Patriots in the coming weeks.

New England Patriots RB Committee

Rookie TreVeyon Henderson emerged as a top candidate in Week 10 with a breakout performance against the Buccaneers. He accrued 147 rushing yards and 2 touchdowns while filling in for the injured Rhamondre Stevenson.

Henderson’s performance: 14 carries for 147 rushing yards and 2 TDs.
Potential future matchups: Jets, Bengals, Giants.

Monitor the health of Henderson and Stevenson closely, as their performances will significantly affect fantasy lineup decisions.

Seattle Seahawks RB Committee

In Seattle, Kenneth Walker III and Zach Charbonnet are splitting carries evenly. Both players had 14 carries in Week 10, but Charbonnet’s rushing touchdown gave him the edge in fantasy points.

Kenneth Walker: 67 rushing yards.
Zach Charbonnet: 83 rushing yards and 1 touchdown.

The Seahawks face the Rams this week, a team known for limiting RB production, making their potential less favorable.

Arizona Cardinals RB Committee

With Trey Benson still sidelined, the Cardinals are deploying a three-man rotation of Bam Knight, Emari Demercado, and Michael Carter. Demercado showed promise with 64 yards on 4 carries in Week 10.

Emari Demercado: 4 carries for 64 yards, plus 40 yards receiving.
Bam Knight: 10 carries for 28 yards.

Demercado’s big-play potential positions him as a significant asset ahead of their Week 11 matchup against the 49ers.

Denver Broncos RB Committee

The Broncos are managing a situation with J.K. Dobbins dealing with a mid-foot sprain. Rookie R.J. Harvey has stepped up, showing scoring ability but remains limited in touches.

Harvey has 5 touchdowns in his last four games.
A potential upside for Harvey lies in increased usage if Dobbins is sidelined.

This week’s matchup against the Chiefs will test their ability to contribute meaningfully.

Vikings RB Committee

In Minnesota, Aaron Jones Sr. appears to have secured the primary role in the RB committee following an injury to Jordan Mason. As he resumes play, his role is set to expand.

Jones had 9 carries for 47 yards and 1 touchdown in Week 10.
Upcoming matchups include facing the Bears and favorable playoff matchups ahead.

Jones’ build offers substantial upside moving forward as they look to bolster their playoff hopes.

Texans RB Committee

Woody Marks has recently intensified his role in the Texans’ backfield. In Week 10, he amassed 14 carries for 63 yards and 1 touchdown.

Marks played 80% of snaps against the Jaguars.
Nick Chubb also contributed positively as a secondary option.

Given their favorable upcoming matchup against the Titans, Marks could stand out in Week 11.

Bears RB Committee

D’Andre Swift returned to lead the Bears’ RB committee, re-establishing his role against the Giants. He recorded 80 rushing yards and several receptions.

Swift’s upcoming matchups against the Packers and Browns could yield good returns.
Kyle Monangai adds depth and potential for goal-line plays.

While Swift leads, Monangai’s contributions keep him on the fantasy radar.

Week 11 promises to be an exciting opportunity as various RB committees present potential breakout candidates for the remainder of the fantasy season. Monitoring injuries and player performances will be crucial for making informed lineup decisions.
