NFL Week 11 Fantasy Football: Key Start and Sit Decisions
As NFL Week 11 approaches, fantasy football managers face crucial start-or-sit decisions. This week, we highlight key players at running back positions worth considering based on their recent performances and matchups.
NFL Week 11 Fantasy Football: Key Start and Sit Decisions
Running Backs to Start
- Quinshon Judkins, Cleveland Browns: Judkins started the season strong but has faced tough opponents. In his only matchup against a team with a poor run defense, he averaged 6.1 yards per carry against the Baltimore Ravens. Judkins now encounters a more favorable schedule. Over the next seven games, five of his opponents rank among the bottom 12 in run defense. This week’s game against Baltimore marks a promising opportunity to boost his statistics.
- Rachaad White, Tampa Bay Buccaneers: White has recently shared carries with Sean Tucker. In Week 10, White managed 10 carries for 38 yards while Tucker ran nine times for 53 yards. Notably, while White has historically dominated carries, Tucker’s recent performance indicates a shift in dynamics. Despite this, White remains a better fantasy start due to his contributions in the passing game, notably his five receptions for 16 yards last week.
