Minnesota Vikings quarterback
J.J. McCarthy is a solid Superflex candidate with his team set to face the Chicago Bears in Week 11. The second-year quarterback led a furious comeback in the Week 1 meeting between the two teams in which he accounted for three total touchdowns in the fourth quarter, and the Chicago defense continues to rank among the bottom of the barrel against fantasy quarterbacks. McCarthy is a work in progress as a passer, but encouragingly for managers, he's developed a nice rushing floor in his limited time with the Vikings. He rushed for a touchdown in two of his four starts and ran for 48 yards on only five carries last week against the Ravens. Certainly, some volatility is to be expected from a first-time starter, but McCarthy is already playable in two-quarterback leagues and could have additional week-to-week value with favorable matchups.

Running back
Aaron Jones Sr. (shoulder/toe) of the Minnesota Vikings does not appear on the Week 11 injury report and should be considered an RB2 option when his team plays host to NFC North rival Chicago on Sunday. Since the veteran returned from a hamstring injury that required a stint on injured reserve, he has clearly been the favored option over backfield mate
Jordan Mason. Jones played more than 70% of the team's offense snaps against Baltimore in Week 10, and he's shown he can help managers even when the offense is struggling. Despite a sloppy overall game last week, Jones still managed 47 rushing yards and a touchdown on nine carries, and three catches for 22 yards. Jones already has a steady role in a decent offense, but there is some added potential this week against a Bears defense that has been middling against fantasy running backs.

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver
Xavier Worthy (ankle) has been removed from the injury report ahead of the Week 11 matchup against the Denver Broncos. Worthy tweaked his ankle during Thursday's practice session. However, Worthy practiced in full on Friday and won't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game. Worthy has taken a backseat in the offense since
Rashee Rice returned in Week 7. He has seen 14 targets over the last two games, hauling in eight passes for 76 yards. Worthy still has enough upside to warrant plugging in as a WR3 for this weekend.

Minnesota Vikings running back
Jordan Mason's evaporating workload in the Vikings' backfield has made the proposition of playing him difficult ahead of a Week 11 clash against the Chicago Bears. In two of the past three weeks, Mason has failed to reach five total carries. During the past two games, in particular,
Aaron Jones Sr. has been the team's top option, commanding nearly three-quarters of the offensive snaps last week against Baltimore. Mason was a quality, if unremarkable, fantasy option when Jones was on injured reserve, but Jones' return has suggested less of a split than managers rostering Mason had hoped. Against a Bears defense squarely in the middle of the pack against fantasy running backs, Mason is a low-end RB4 option who will probably need some goalline work to make starting him worth the investment.

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver
Justin Jefferson is yet again a WR1 when the Vikings play host to the Chicago Bears in Week 11. The superstar has been quieter than normal during the past month as backup quarterback
Carson Wentz and second-year starter
J.J. McCarthy lead the charge for an up-and-down offense, but Jefferson still has been earning a ton of targets. McCarthy has targeted Jefferson 21 times in the past two weeks but only connected on 10, though the pair collaborated for a tide-turning touchdown in the first meeting against Chicago that sparked a fourth-quarter comeback. The Bears rank 24th against PPR receivers, offering a chance for Jefferson to break his cold streak. The Vikings likely will be erratic as they break in a 22-year-old QB, but the matchup and Jefferson's ability should have the superstar locked into lineups in all formats.

Minnesota Vikings running back
Aaron Jones Sr. (shoulder, toe) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Chicago Bears. Jones played through the same issues during last week's contest. He rushed nine times for 47 yards and scored a touchdown in the loss to the Baltimore Ravens. It doesn't appear the AC joint sprain is impacting his performance on the field. He was limited in practice this week until getting in a full session on Friday. Fantasy managers should consider Jones as a low-end RB2 for this upcoming Week 11 contest.

With the Minnesota Vikings struggling for consistency as they break in a young quarterback, wide receiver
Jordan Addison is a fringe starting option in standard formats against the Chicago Bears in Week 11. The third-year man from USC looked to be developing a legitimate chemistry with quarterback
J.J. McCarthy during training camp and the preseason, but that has yet to come to fruition in a regular-season game. Addison drew a whopping 11 targets last week, but caught only three for 35 yards as the Vikings tried and failed to make up a multi-score deficit in the fourth quarter against Baltimore. Since a 128-yard outburst against Philadelphia in Week 7, Addison has 109 receiving yards in the past three games combined. There is potential in the matchup against a Bears secondary that ranks 24th against PPR receivers, but Addison should be viewed as high-risk, high-reward WR3/flex, given the offense's unpredictability.

Coming off a career-best day in Week 10, Minnesota Vikings wide receiver
Jalen Nailor is tough to trust in Week 11 with a fluctuating pass-catching role. The fourth-year pro broke out for 124 yards and a touchdown on only five catches last week against Baltimore, which bested fellow wide receivers
Justin Jefferson and
Jordan Addison. The Vikings consistently praise Nailor, who has a proven history of being a quality run blocker, special teamer, and making big catches when called upon. While first-time starting quarterback
J.J. McCarthy seems to trust Nailor, his receiving workload hasn't been consistent enough to rely upon in most leagues. Nailor had three catches in the three weeks prior to his career day, and even against a lowly ranked Bears defense, he should be saved only for leagues with three-plus flex spots.

After three straight weeks of low volume, Minnesota Vikings tight end
T.J. Hockenson should not be relied upon in standard formats when his team plays host to the Chicago Bears in Week 11. The former Iowa Hawkeye is still playing a commanding number of snaps, but has just six catches in the past three weeks and ranks as the No. 24 overall PPR tight end. Given that he has been a top-five fantasy tight end twice with Minnesota, it's fair to say Hockenson has been among the bigger fantasy disappointments of the season thus far. The Bears rank 20th against PPR tight ends, though second-year quarterback
J.J. McCarthy has consistently favored receiver
Jalen Nailor, not Hockenson, as the team's third option behind receivers
Justin Jefferson and
Jordan Addison. Hockenson should only be considered a TE2 option in formats that play more than one tight end.

Chicago Bears wide receiver
Rome Odunze (ankle) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Sunday's Week 11 matchup against the Minnesota Vikings. Odunze missed Wednesday's practice due to a minor ankle issue. However, he was able to practice each of the next two days and has been cleared to play this weekend. Odunze bounced back last week with six receptions for 86 yards and a touchdown in the win over the New York Giants. He should offer high-end WR2 value for this upcoming matchup against the Vikings.

November 14, 2025
Will Reichard of the Minnesota Vikings should be considered one of the top fantasy kickers when his team takes on the Chicago Bears in Week 11. A top-10 overall fantasy kicker through the halfway point of the NFL season, Reichard has converted all 17 of his extra points and 18 of 20 field goals, including six of them from beyond 50 yards. The Bears are allowing the fourth-highest yards per carry average and surrendering passing touchdowns at the third-highest rate in the league, which could give an erratic Vikings offense an opportunity for a bounce-back week. In an indoor venue against a below-average defense, Reichard is ranked as RotoBaller's No. 4 kicker for Week 11.

The Minnesota Vikings are a playable fantasy defense when taking on the Chicago Bears in a Week 11 matchup in Minneapolis. The Vikings have been tough to read this year, but they have a favorable set of circumstances this week: They blitz more than any team in the league, pressure the quarterback at the second-best rate in the NFL, and will face Bears quarterback
Caleb Williams, who is 0-3 in his first three tries against Vikings defensive coordinator Brian Flores. Of note, the Vikings will be without Pro Bowl defensive end Jonathan Greenard (shoulder), who already has been ruled out, but should be otherwise in decent shape for this time of the season. Against Williams, who takes longer to throw than any other qualified starter, there is a pathway for the Vikings to cause damage with their pass rush, especially if they can slow the run enough to put Chicago in clear passing situations.

Chicago Bears running back
D'Andre Swift (hip) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Minnesota Vikings. Swift was limited in practice to begin the week due to a hip issue. After that, Swift was able to get in two full practices which was enough to clear him for this contest. He figures to resume his role as the lead back, but
Kyle Monangai has earned a bigger role in recent weeks. Last week, Swift rushed for 80 yards while hauling in five passes in the win over the New York Giants. He does enough to warrant starting as a RB2 for Week 11.

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver
Brian Thomas Jr. (ankle) is currently listed as questionable for the upcoming Week 11 matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers. Thomas is hopeful to get back on the field this weekend after sitting out last week's loss to the Houston Texans. Thomas was limited in practice all week due to a high-ankle sprain. If he plays, fantasy managers should view him as a WR2. Otherwise,
Jakobi Meyers and
Parker Washington will likely lead the passing attack.

Los Angeles Chargers kicker
Cameron Dicker, who has missed only two field goals all season, remains a highly accurate and reliable fantasy option. This week, he heads to Jacksonville, where the game is expected to be played in pleasant 77-degree sunny weather at kickoff, ideal conditions for a kicker. Against a Jacksonville Jaguars defense that has shown vulnerability to allowing points, Dicker should get multiple scoring opportunities. His consistent accuracy, combined with favorable game conditions, makes him a high-floor starter. Dicker is projected as K6 this week and is a must-start in all formats.
