QB rankings - Week 11
Rank | Quarterback | Team | Opponent | High-Floor/High-Ceiling QB1s |
---|---|---|---|---|
Rank | Quarterback | Team | Opponent | High-Floor/High-Ceiling QB1s |
1 | Patrick Mahomes | KC | at LAR | This is gonna be a track meet. |
2 | Jared Goff | LAR | KC | See above. |
3 | Drew Brees | NO | PHI | Philly's secondary has been ravaged by injury. |
4 | Andrew Luck | IND | TEN | Luck's a Top 5 option from here on out. |
5 | Cam Newton | CAR | at DET | Cam put up a dud last week but this week he gets a reeling Lions defense that just got posterized by Mitchell Trubisky. |
6 | Aaron Rodgers | GB | SEA | It's a somewhat tough matchup but the Packers' offense in shaping into form. |
7 | Carson Wentz | PHI | at NO | Good offenses + bad defenses = shootout. |
8 | Deshaun Watson | HOU | at WAS | Watson should have his way with a reeling Washington defense. |
9 | Ben Roethlisberger | PIT | at JAX | Jacksonville's out of sorts and the Steelers are dominating opponents offensively. |
10 | Mitchell Trubisky | CHI | MIN | The Vikings D has been hampered by injury and Trubisky has been Fantasy Gold. |
11 | Ryan Fitzpatrick | TB | at NYG | Even in a bad game, Fitz crossed the 400 yard mark. |
12 | Matt Ryan | ATL | DAL | ATL's offense is firing on all cylinders now. |
High-Floor/High-Ceiling QB2s | ||||
13 | Philiip Rivers | LAR | DEN | Rivers has been somewhat underproducing but the matchup keeps him on the QB1/2 fringe. |
14 | Russell Wilson | SEA | GB | Wilson's been getting it done on surprisingly low volume as of late. |
15 | Dak Prescott | DAL | at ATL | The likely return of Deion Jones keeps Dak out of the top tier but he's absolutely got a shot to finish there this week. |
16 | Marcus Mariota | TEN | at IND | Tennessee's been playing well as of late. |
17 | Kirk Cousins | MIN | at CHI | The matchup drops Cousins this low. He'll be buyoued by Thielen and Cook though. |
Low-Floor/High-Ceiling QB2s | ||||
18 | Eli Manning | NYG | TB | The bottom could drop out at any moment but it's just as likely Beckham houses two slants against the Bucs juco-level defense. |
19 | Matthew Stafford | DET | CAR | Stafford's been struggling to produce in the fantasy world but this week he gets a Carolina defense that the Steelers just eviscerated. |
Low-Floor/Capped-Ceiling QB2s | ||||
20 | Andy Dalton | CIN | at CAL | If Dalton turns in a decent fantasy day, it'll likely be from dump-offs to Joe Mixon. |
21 | Blake Bortles | JAX | PIT | The return of Fournette takes some of the defensive attention off of Bortles. |
22 | Josh Rosen | ARI | OAK | Similar to Dalton's outlook, Rosen's fantasy relevance will likely depend on DJ's passing game involvement. It's a good matchup though. |
23 | Joe Flacco | BAL | CIN | Cincinnati just fired their DC but Flacco's both battling an injury and underperforming. By the end of the week, it might be Lamar Jackson on this list instead. |
24 | Case Keenum | DEN | at LAC | It's a tough matchup for the lackluster signal caller. |
The QB3s | ||||
25 | Derek Carr | OAK | at ARI | The Cardinals' pass rush will shred Gruden's Stone Age offense. |
26 | Alex Smith | WAS | HOU | Look away. |
