Week 11 is here as we enter the final three-game stretch of the fantasy football regular season for most leagues.

It’s the penultimate week of byes with the Bills, Giants, Bears and 49ers out this week. Don’t forget to remove Josh Allen, Stefon Diggs, Allen Robinson, Brandon Aiyuk, et al. from your lineups.

There are a number of fantastic Week 11 matchups — including the Saints-Falcons game  — and some you should consider avoiding — such as the Rams on the road against the Buccaneers. Whether you are in the playoff hunt or playing for pride, be sure to set your lineups and check out some good plays at each position below, as well as some other players you should consider avoiding.

Ryan has improved since Dan Quinn’s ousting in Atlanta and has posted top-12 numbers for fantasy in three of his last four outings. This game should be quite high-scoring, especially with Jameis Winston as Ryan’s presumed opposing QB. Ryan will be well-rested coming off the Falcons’ Week 10 bye and falls into the QB1 range this week with very high upside.

It’s taken half the NFL season, but it looks like Matt Patricia and the Lions have finally realized Swift is the superior rusher over 36-year-old Adrian Peterson. The rookie from Georgia saw 16 carries for 81 yards and caught all five of his targets for 68 yards and a touchdown against the Redskins. He is a top-12 play this week opposite Carolina’s defense, which has allowed the fourth-most fantasy points to running backs this year.

McKissic was targeted a whopping 15 times in Washington’s Week 10 matchup against Detroit and finished with eight rushes for eight yards and a touchdown and seven catches for 43 yards. He is still second to Antonio Gibson out of the backfield, but has seen significant involvement in the short-yardage passing game over the past two weeks, accruing 29 targets in that span. He is a low-end RB2 in formats which award points per reception this week against a middle-of-the-road Bengals run defense.

Jefferson posted his fourth 100-yard game in Week 10 opposite the Bears’ stingy pass defense. He caught eight of 10 targets for 135 yards, and has a much easier matchup on deck this week against Dallas’ secondary, which has given up the third-most fantasy points to receivers this year. The rookie is a high-upside WR2 heading into Week 11.

Meyers performed well on Sunday night in spite of inclement weather in Foxboro and a tough matchup against the Ravens’ secondary. He caught five passes on a team-high seven targets for 59 yards and threw a 24-yard touchdown. The Patriots face the Texans in Week 11, which means he could draw coverage from cornerback Bradley Roby, but Meyers has at least five catches and 60 total yards in three straight games. He should be considered a WR3 this week based on his recent volume and production.

Cook burned fantasy managers last week with zero catches and didn’t perform much better in the week prior. He has a fantastic Week 11 matchup on deck against the Falcons, who rank last in the league against tight ends. He should also benefit from a pass-happy Winston taking over for Drew Brees for the foreseeable future. The matchup and situation vault Cook back into the TE1 conversation.

There’s no easy way around this, but Wentz looked downright awful against the Giants in a game that the Eagles should have won. He completed 21 of 37 attempts for 208 yards and zero touchdowns, and aside from a two-game stretch in Weeks 6 and 7, he hasn’t been a viable fantasy play. It’s worth noting that he is hampered significantly by the Eagles’ offensive line, which ranks last in the league in sacks allowed per game. Weather could also be a factor as it was in Week 10 for the Browns. Even with four teams on bye this week, he falls outside the starting conversation in most leagues.

Taylor’s stock has plummeted even further after the Colts’ Thursday night matchup in Tennessee. He was out-touched and completely eclipsed by popular waiver wire add Nyheim Hines, who was effective both on the ground and through the air. Hines picked up 12 carries for 70 yards and a touchdown and reeled in five of six targets for 45 yards and a touchdown, while Taylor was held to nine total touches for 27 scrimmage yards. The rookie from Wisconsin falls into flex territory this week, even in this juicy matchup versus Green Bay.

Rams head coach Sean McVay has kept fantasy managers on their toes all year with this three-headed running back committee. Last week, rookie Cam Akers — who McVay said should see more work in the second half of the season — led the team in carries but was the lone running back that did not score (Malcolm Brown scored twice and Henderson scored once). Independent of the workload split, this matchup against Tampa, whose defense is allowing the second-fewest points to opposing running backs this year, is already stacked against Henderson. He falls outside the RB2 range this week is a flex play with a near-zero floor.

Will we ever get consistent fantasy production from Chark? The answer is most likely no, especially in light of the Jaguars’ fluid quarterback situation. Chark has posted two finishes as WR5 or better in Weeks 4 and 9 and six finishes as WR34 or worse. Jacksonville squares off against Pittsburgh this week, which means it’s more probable Chark falls into the second category over the first. He is outside the WR2 conversation.

Prior to Week 9, Crowder had been averaging 11.5 targets per game and was a lock to start week-to-week. He returned from injury in Week 9, but saw just two targets behind Denzel Mims (8) and Breshad Perriman (7). Crowder may see a decline now that Mims and Perriman are both healthy and is a risky WR3/flex play.

Smith salvaged an otherwise unremarkable day for fantasy last Thursday by way of a one-yard rushing touchdown, which isn’t something you can rely on week-to-week. Trust the process, as it is yet another brutal matchup for Titans heading into Week 11 against the Ravens. Smith is a volatile, boom-or-bust option, but remains on the cusp of starting in this dire tight end landscape.
