The Everything Report Week 11

Scott Barrett reviews all the fantasy football usage from 2025 NFL Week 10, with everything you need to know for Week 11

Jonathan Taylor is a freak. Taylor continues to show why he’s one of the most dominant running backs in the NFL, posting his fourth game this season with three rushing touchdowns - an elite feat only matched by LaDainian Tomlinson, who had five of these games in 2006. While the Colts face an uphill battle as underdogs in their next five games, and Taylor’s production has dipped in losses (averaging just 11.2 FPG and 14.6 XFP in those contests), his overall impact remains elite.

Even when comparing him to Christian McCaffrey, any preference for McCaffrey is more about slightly higher projected usage (25.4 XFP/G vs. Taylor’s 19.0) than a reflection of Taylor’s immense talent or upside. Over the remaining seven weeks, Taylor has the potential to chase or even break one of the most iconic single-season rushing TD records in NFL history, making him a must-play and top-tier fantasy asset.

Jaylen Waddle has leveled up. Since Tyreek Hill went down, Waddle has exceeded 80 receiving yards in 5 of 6 games, with the only miss coming in a weather-impacted game featuring 17 mph winds that stifled both passing attacks. When playing without Hill, Waddle is averaging 2.96 yards per route run, ranking just behind JSN and Puka Nacua. This week, he draws a Commanders defense that gives up a league-high 20.7 fantasy points per game to opposing WR1s, making him a strong low-end WR1 play.

Brissett has saved the Cardinals’ passing attack. Since Jacoby Brissett took over, Trey McBride has scored 5 touchdowns in 4 games and is posting elite numbers with 11 targets, 23.1 XFP, and 23.7 FPG - production that ranks at WR1 levels despite his TE designation. Marvin Harrison Jr. has also flourished under Brissett, averaging 9.7 targets, 19.5 XFP, 14.9 FPG, and a 38% first-read target share, making him a strong mid-range WR2 and a clear buy-low candidate. Both players are excellent DFS targets this week, with Brissett double-stacking offering heavy upside.

Week 11 Starts/Sits

Graham Barfield lists the stats you need to help make your toughest lineup decisions for Week 11.

Start Kimani Vidal. Over the last five weeks, Vidal has scored as fantasy’s RB16 in points per game, just two-tenths behind Derrick Henry. While he’s doing little as a receiver because the Chargers are only throwing to their receivers and Gadsden, they’re fully comfortable giving Vidal a bell cow workload. His 94% snap rate last week marked a season-high.

Start Wan’Dale Robinson. Over his last six games without Malik Nabers (ACL), Robinson has turned his 52 targets into a solid 35/365/1 receiving, and he’s earned at least 27% of the Giants’ targets in four out of his last 5 games. He remains a volume-based WR2 in PPR leagues but is more of a WR3 in Half-PPR.

Start R.J. Harvey. Harvey is set for increased opportunities after J.K. Dobbins was put on the IR, but unfortunately, it comes attached to the second-worst team outlook Denver has had all season. Harvey just needs one big play to make his day, but he projects as more of a low-end RB2 in his first start of the season. But get excited moving forward.

Sit Brian Thomas Jr. He’s questionable, and unfortunately, it’s a rough matchup. The Chargers are holding opposing outside wide receivers to -3.7 schedule-adjusted FPG below average (fourth-fewest). Most importantly, this is not a great spot for Trevor Lawrence - the Chargers almost exclusively play zone coverage, which Lawrence (0.28 FP/DB vs. zone – QB30) is struggling against.

Sit Jordan Love. The Packers remain the most frustrating “good” offense in the NFL. Love has finished as a top-12 scoring QB in fantasy football just twice all season. On paper, this is a great matchup against a Giants secondary that plays a lot of man coverage (39%), and Love has been good against man-to-man this season, ranking QB6 in fantasy points per dropback, but it’s hard to find confidence here.

Sit Kenneth Walker & Zach Charbonnet. You know what you’re getting yourself into. Walker and Charbonnet aren’t involved in the pass game. Charbonnet continues to hog almost all of the goal-line and short-yardage work. They’re both lower-end RB3/FLEX options against a Rams defense that is quietly stingy vs. the run (3.7 YPC and 48% success rate allowed).

Read the full article for advice on who to start & sit throughout the entire Week 11 slate.

Atlanta Falcons (11%) vs CAR. Atlanta owns the league’s best pass defense and a top-5 pass rush, piling up 13 sacks in its last two games. Carolina rarely throws, but if the Falcons slow their run game and force Bryce Young to drop back, it plays directly into Atlanta’s strength. Young hasn’t thrown a TD since Week 7 and hasn’t hit 20 completions since Week 2, per Drake’s Week 11 Streaming D/STs.

Trey McBride x Jacoby Brissett. This game offers elite pace and a pass-heavy Cardinals offense against a 49ers defense that’s become a clear pass funnel and has struggled badly against short-area throws since losing Fred Warner. That aligns perfectly with McBride’s usage - 7.5 short-area targets per game and heavy slot work against a defense bottom-5 vs slot production. With strong efficiency against SF’s frequent Cover 4/6 looks, McBride is one of the top volume-plus-matchup plays on the slate, per Heath’s Week 11 Advanced Matchups.

Shadow Alert! Bills CB Maxwell Hairston vs Buccaneers WR Emeka Egbuka. Buffalo showed enormous trust in rookie CB Hairston last week, shadowing him on every Jaylen Waddle route - an assignment that produced mixed results but included an interception. With Tampa Bay down Evans and likely Godwin, Egbuka should again operate as their primary perimeter WR and may draw another rare rookie-on-rookie shadow. It’s a matchup to note, but not one that meaningfully downgrades Egbuka from WR1 territory, per Dolan’s Week 11 WR/CB Fantasy Matchups.

Trends & Trades

Players to trade/trade for, risers & fallers & more

Buy A.J. Brown. Week 11 was rough, but Brown now gets a stretch of man-heavy defenses…Detroit, Dallas, Chicago, Las Vegas, and Washington…all of which are ideal matchups for him. Even the tougher LAC and Buffalo games carry shootout potential. In this run, he realistically offers a floor around 4/80/1 in his best matchups, per Hansen’s Week 11 Players to Trade/Trade For.

Sell Josh Jacobs. He’s not a must-sell, and he should smash the Giants this week, but his schedule gets much tougher afterward. Over the next several games, he faces a run of defenses that have been top-tier against the run lately. It’s a stretch that could noticeably cap his rushing ceiling, per Hansen’s Week 11 Players to Trade/Trade For.

Go get Jaylen Waddle. Since Tyreek Hill went down (excluding the weather-wrecked Week 7), Waddle has surged with a 54% air-yard share, 7.6 targets per game, 94 receiving yards per game, and a top-five YPRR and fantasy points per game. He’s also commanding a strong 33% first-read target share. With Tua drawing the 2nd-easiest remaining schedule and Waddle the 5th-easiest among WRs, his late-season outlook is elite, per Menton’s Trading Guide: Week 11.

Outlook: Buy based on his production as the clear WR1 in a Hill-less Miami offense (Example: Ashton Jeanty)

💸 Best Bets

• Ricky Pearsall over 39.5 receiving yards (-110, Bet365). Pearsall has hit 46+ yards in every game, and he excels specifically against the Cover 3/4 looks that Arizona runs most often. With the Cardinals giving up major production to outside receivers, his 50.3-yard line is very beatable, per Brolley’s Best Bets Week 11.

• Emeka Egbuka over 56.5 receiving yards (-113, DraftKings). Over his last three games without Mike Evans and Chris Godwin, he has earned 34 targets. Egbuka has 38% and 30% of targets in the Buccaneers’ previous two games. Bills predominantly run zone coverages (71%), which Egbuka is shredding (2.91 YPRR – WR9), per Barfield’s Best Bets Week 11.

• Week 11 TD Props per Kelley’s Paul’s Props and Touchdowns: Week 11:
