Willie Rodriguez a Quality Starting Option for Week 11 Matchup
Kentucky tight end Willie Rodriguez has been a pretty solid fantasy asset of late, and he's lined up pretty well to keep things rolling in Week 11. His matchup is Florida, which allows 367.2 total yards and 27.6 points per game on the season. Rodriguez has caught 45 passes for 405 yards and three touchdowns, while also rushing four times for six yards and another score on the season. Rodriguez has at least one touchdown in three straight games, and he's caught five or more passes in five straight. At a tight end spot where consistency is hard to find, Rodriguez has been a quality option most weeks. That remains the case for Week 11, meaning he should be starting in a lot of leagues again.

Bo Jackson Set Up Well for Week 11 Clash
Ohio State running back Bo Jackson has a pretty strong fantasy outlook for his team's Week 11 contest against Northwestern. The Wildcats allow 365.4 total yards per game, and 149.3 of those are coming on the ground. Northwestern is giving up just 19.3 points per game, but hasn't faced many offenses like the one Ohio State boasts.

Cooper Barkate a Quality Starting Option Despite Tough Week 11 Matchup
Miami wide receiver Cooper Barkate is one of the players who is helping pick up the slack with Malachi Toney (ankle) out, but he has a rough outlook in Week 11 against Duke. The Blue Devils are allowing just 282.1 total yards and 13 points per game, so this will be a stiffer test for Barkate and the Miami offense, especially without Toney around. Barkate has 447 receiving yards and six touchdowns over 37 receptions this season. He has three or more receptions in three straight games, but has been a bit inconsistent while being behind Toney in the wide receiver room. Without Toney around in Week 10 against Notre Dame, Barkate erupted for 75 yards and two touchdowns over nine receptions. Barkate remains a solid starting option for Week 11, but the tougher matchup makes him a better deep-league asset.

Kewan Lacy Out Again for Ole Miss
Ole Miss running back Kewan Lacy (shoulder) has been declared out for this week's game against Oklahoma, according to the SEC availability report. There is no timetable for his return, according to On3's Pete Nakos.

Lacy remains the Rebels' leading ball carrier, totaling 388 yards rushing and five touchdowns on 78 carries this season. Ole Miss finishes the season with a matchup against the Sooners on Saturday, followed by games against Wofford on Nov. 21 and Mississippi State on Nov. 27, but it remains unclear if Lacy will return this season.

Nate Sheppard a Risky Starting Option Going into Very Tough Test
Duke running back Nate Sheppard has put together a really good season, but a very stiff test against Miami in Week 11 is a reason for fantasy managers to be skeptical of starting him. He has 1,189 rushing yards and 17 touchdowns over 191 attempts so far, plus 32 receptions for 306 yards and four scores in the passing game. Sheppard has eight rushing touchdowns over his past two games, so most fantasy owners are going to start him no matter what. It's hard to argue against that based on what he's done overall this season. Miami is a brutal matchup, though, with the defense allowing just 19.2 points and 323.7 total yards, with just 64.3 of those yards on the ground. Temper expectations with Sheppard, but only bench him if you have viable replacements.

Jeremiah Smith Remains High-End Fantasy Option for Week 11

The wideout had 133 receiving yards and a touchdown across seven receptions in the team's loss to Oregon in Week 10.

With the Buckeyes on a two-game skid, expect the offense to lean on Smith, leading to a big fantasy showing for the must-start player.

Brent Venables Not On the Hot Seat
Oklahoma Board of Regents chair Rick Nagel said that head football coach Brent Venables was not on the hot seat. Nagel added that there was no hot seat and that they had just extended Venables' contract. Oklahoma is 5-4 this season and is coming off an upset road win over Florida. The Sooners' offense is averaging 338.4 total yards and 22.1 points per game, while the defense is allowing 293.3 total yards and 19.2 points, so it's been a defense-led team this season. Venables is 37-24 as the team's head coach since taking over in 2022. The Sooners have two 10-win seasons over five years, but have topped out at six wins otherwise.

Aiden Flora Remains Quality Fantasy Option for Week 11
Iowa State running back Aiden Flora sticks as a high-level fantasy starting option as he prepares for a matchup against Cincinnati in Week 11. He has 1,119 rushing yards and nine touchdowns over 157 carries this season, plus has 17 receptions for 100 yards. Flora has 403 rushing yards and three touchdowns over his past two games combined, so he's trending up. With 20 receiving yards last week, he went over 200 total yards in back-to-back games. Cincinnati is a favorable matchup, as the Bearcats are allowing 29.4 points and 445.3 total yards per game, and 169.3 of those yards are coming on the ground. Flora is primed for another big showing in Week 11, so fantasy owners should be confident starting him in a lot of leagues.
