Matchups We Love
None
Matchups We Hate
Fantasy managers shouldn't sit Saquon Barkley this week, but expectations should be tempered. He has scored under 13.5 PPR fantasy points in three of the past four games, and the Lions have been one of the best defenses against fantasy RBs this season. Detroit has allowed just one top-16 fantasy RB finish in 2025. So, Barkley might be more of an RB2 in Week 11.
Other Notable Matchups
QB Jared Goff
Jared Goff exploded last week for 320 passing yards and three touchdowns en route to a QB5 fantasy finish. That strong performance could give fantasy managers some confidence in rolling with him in some 14-plus team leagues this week. The Eagles have allowed a top-15 QB fantasy finish in six of nine games this season.

QB Jalen Hurts
Jalen Hurts had one of his worst games of the season last week, as he scored a measly 12 fantasy points against the Packers. However, we should expect a bounce-back performance from Hurts in Week 11. The Lions have allowed over 18 fantasy points to a QB in four of the last five games, and this Detroit secondary ranks 27th in pass touchdowns allowed this season. So, Hurts is a QB1.
Lions RBs
Jahmyr Gibbs will continue to be a must-start RB1 for fantasy managers this week. He just scored 38.2 PPR fantasy points last week. As for David Montgomery, he will be more of an RB3 option this week against the Eagles. He has become a very touchdown-dependent fantasy option, and Philadelphia is allowing under one rushing touchdown per game this season.
Eagles WRs
Things aren't looking positive for A.J. Brown right now. He caught just two passes for 13 yards last week, and that marked the fifth game this season that Brown has finished outside the top 45 at the WR position. However, Brown will still be a WR2 play this week in a solid matchup on the outside against the Lions. Detroit has allowed the second-most receiving touchdowns and the 11th-most fantasy points to WRs.

That also makes DeVonta Smith a solid WR2 play this week. He has finished as a top-24 fantasy WR in three consecutive games and appears to be Hurts' favorite target in the passing game. The Eagles' playmaker has a whopping 40.3% target share over the past three weeks.
Lions WRs
Amon-Ra St. Brown will remain a must-start WR1 option this week. He has scored above 16 PPR fantasy points in seven of his last eight games and remains the Lions' No. 1 pass-catching option.
As for Jameson Williams, he will be a riskier WR2 play in Week 11. Although he has finished as a top-20 WR option in three of the past four games, his matchup against Quinyon Mitchell on the outside is on the tougher side. Mitchell just held Doubs in check last week and currently ranks sixth in fantasy points allowed per target.
Dallas Goedert will enter Week 11 as a low-end TE1 option. The Lions have only allowed two top-12 fantasy TE finishes since Week 4, and Goedert has totaled under 50 receiving yards in three straight games. With the veteran third on the pecking order in the passing game, he could have another subpar fantasy game if he doesn't get into the end zone.
