San Francisco 49ers wide receiver
Jauan Jennings had his most productive game since Week 2 in last week's loss to the Rams. Jennings had a season-high six catches for 71 yards and a touchdown against Los Angeles. The score was his second in as many weeks. Jennings' recent spike in productivity has been a welcome turnaround for fantasy football managers who held onto him through several weeks of injuries and single-digit fantasy scores. In Week 11, Jennings stands to benefit from the return of
Brock Purdy (toe) to San Francisco's starting lineup after a six-game absence. Also coming back is fellow receiver
Ricky Pearsall (knee), whose return will be a double-edged sword for Jennings. On the one hand, Pearsall might eat into Jennings' target share, but on the other, the former's presence might open things up for the latter to do more with less. Jennings projects as a WR3 with upside against a beatable Cardinals secondary in Week 11.

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver
Xavier Worthy will take on the Denver Broncos in Week 11. Worthy should be well-rested coming out of the team's Week 10 bye, but it may not matter given his lack of production lately. Worthy was set to open the season as the team's clear WR1 during
Rashee Rice's suspension, but
Travis Kelce ran into Worthy, derailing his season in the opening quarter of Week 1. Worthy returned from his shoulder injury in Week 4 and racked up five catches for 83 yards, along with some usage in the run game. It was a promising first game, but it has been downhill since for Worthy. The speedy wideout has now caught three or fewer passes in three of his last four games. Worthy has only managed to eclipse 50 receiving yards twice in six games this season, and now he has to contend with Rice for targets. Worthy will also face the Broncos defense this week, the toughest matchup for opposing wide receivers this season. Worthy is ranked WR29 in our RotoBaller Half-PPR rankings, putting him in WR3/Flex range this week.

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver
Rashee Rice will take on the Denver Broncos in Week 11. Rice returned from suspension in Week 7 and has been nothing short of spectacular for fantasy since. The 25-year-old stepped back into his WR1 role, earning 26 targets and scoring four touchdowns in three games heading into the team's Week 10 bye. With only a three-game sample size, Rice has the most points per game among wide receivers this season. Despite his incredible start, Rice will have to contend with Denver this week. The Broncos defense is the toughest matchup for wide receivers this season, allowing the fewest fantasy points per game to the position. Rice will need to link up with
Patrick Mahomes often and in the red zone to manage a strong fantasy performance. Rice is ranked WR6 in our RotoBaller Half-PPR rankings, making him a must-start WR1 despite facing the toughest matchup for receivers this season.

San Francisco 49ers running back
Brian Robinson Jr. has turned the corner recently, posting consecutive RB2 finishes in the 49ers' last two games. Robinson's utilization in Week 10 and Week 11 was in line with past games, but with better results. Against the Giants and then the Rams, Robinson had his two highest rushing totals and scored a touchdown in each game. This trend has a good chance to continue in Week 11, when the 49ers face the Cardinals. Robinson saw just five snaps in the teams' last meeting in Week 3, but Arizona is coming off a game against Seattle where they allowed 181 rushing yards and two touchdowns to the Seahawks' backfield. Limited on touches, only another trip to the end zone would make starting Robinson in fantasy lineups worthwhile. He projects as an RB4 in Week 11.

Kansas City Chiefs running back
Brashard Smith will face the Denver Broncos in Week 11. Smith should step into the RB2 role for the Chiefs this week with
Isiah Pacheco ruled out with a knee injury. Despite a suspected bump in usage, Smith's statistical outputs before their bye in Week 10 were concerning. In Weeks 8 and 9, the rookie failed to eclipse 10 rushing yards, and his passing game usage was practically non-existent. Smith went from catching at least three passes in four games from Weeks 4 through 7, to catching zero passes in Weeks 8 and 9. The converted wide receiver has not been used much between the tackles this season due to his size and inexperience at the position, so if his receiving usage dries up, there is not much to be excited about. Smith will also have to face the Broncos this week. The Denver defense has allowed the fifth-fewest fantasy points to opposing running backs this season. Smith is ranked RB55 in our RotoBaller Half-PPR rankings, putting him deep in desperate flex range this week. Smith is explosive, but his floor is zero points. Fantasy managers should avoid Smith this week against one of the best defenses in football.

San Francisco 49ers running back
Christian McCaffrey had his second-lowest rushing total of the season in Week 10, gaining just 30 yards on the ground on 12 carries against the Rams. McCaffrey hasn't been as productive in the run game as he has been in years past, averaging 62.6 rushing yards per game in 2025. Still, McCaffrey has been an invaluable fantasy asset thanks to what he has done as a receiver. The double-threat is second in the NFL in receptions behind only Ja'Marr Chase and sixth in receiving yards. In Week 11, McCaffrey will do plenty of damage against the Arizona Cardinals. Last week, Arizona gave up 181 rushing yards and two touchdowns to the Seahawks' running backs. McCaffrey is a regular contender for overall RB1, and his projection for Week 11 is no different.

San Francisco 49ers quarterback
Brock Purdy (toe) has no designation on the team's final injury report ahead of their divisional clash with the Arizona Cardinals in Week 11. Purdy was listed as questionable in each of the last two weeks before ultimately being scratched from both contests. Sunday's action will be his first time back on the field since Week 4 and just his third start of the season. Purdy's return to action coincides with that of
Ricky Pearsall (knee), which means the quarterback will have Pearsall,
Jauan Jennings, and
George Kittle all on the field for the first time since Week 1. Arizona has played well against opposing quarterbacks this season, but backup quarterback
Mac Jones (knee) passed for 284 yards and a touchdown with one interception against the Cardinals back in Week 3. Similar results are within reach for Purdy, who projects as a borderline QB1/QB2 in Week 11.

Kansas City Chiefs running back
Kareem Hunt will take on the Denver Broncos in Week 11. Hunt is set to handle the lion's share of the carries out of the backfield with
Isiah Pacheco ruled out for Sunday's matchup. Hunt had been splitting the work with Pacheco for much of the season, but Pacheco had begun earning a larger role before going down with a knee injury. Now Hunt will assume a larger workload after being successful in his opportunities at the goal-line and in short-yardage situations. Despite playing in all nine games for the Chiefs this season, Hunt's 294 rushing yards rank 43rd among rushers this season. That low yardage total could be concerning if he didn't score so much, but Hunt ranks 11th in rushing touchdowns with five this year. The veteran back has a great chance to find the endzone every week, but he will have to contend with the stout Denver defense this week. The Broncos defense has allowed the fifth-fewest fantasy points to opposing running backs this season. Given his low yardage totals, starting Hunt this week would be betting on him to score a touchdown against one of the best defenses in the league. Hunt is ranked RB33 in our RotoBaller Half-PPR rankings, putting him at the backend of RB3 range this week.

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback
Patrick Mahomes will take on the Denver Broncos on Sunday in Week 11. Mahomes has been the best quarterback in fantasy this season on a per-game basis and should be ready to compete coming out of the team's bye. The 30-year-old had his worst game of the season in Week 9 before the bye, completing just 44% of his passes while throwing an interception and scoring zero touchdowns in their loss to the Buffalo Bills. Despite having an extra week to rest and prepare, Mahomes could have a hard time getting back on track against the Broncos, who have allowed the second-fewest fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks this season. Divisional matchups also tend to be lower-scoring affairs given the familiarity between the teams, which could work against Mahomes having a ceiling performance this week. Mahomes is ranked QB7 in our RotoBaller rankings, making him a mid-range QB1 but with lower expectations than in other weeks.

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver
Roman Wilson scored the team's only touchdown in Week 10 and could find more ways to contribute against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 11. Offensive coordinator Arthur Smith acknowledged Wilson's recent impact this week, noting that the second-year pro is "starting to show signs of his role increasing." With Pittsburgh still searching for a consistent WR2 behind
DK Metcalf and
Calvin Austin III struggling, it's very possible Wilson earns more opportunities moving forward. Although this is an enticing matchup with a high projected point total, Wilson's limited involvement so far keeps him off the fantasy radar in most formats. That said, he's an intriguing deep-league stash and a name to monitor on Sunday.

The Denver Broncos' defense will face division rival Kansas City Chiefs in Week 11 with what could be another defensive juggernaut of a game. Chiefs quarterback
Patrick Mahomes has been dominant this season and will be a great test for the Broncos' secondary that remains without cornerback Pat Surtain II (pectoral). The Broncos are also without starting veteran linebacker Alex Singleton (illness) and backup linebacker Jonah Elliss (hamstring). Averaging just 270.7 yards per game allowed on the season, the Broncos' defense could find itself carrying the pressure of the win streak in what could be another defensive juggernaut of a matchup. Despite the injuries and tough matchup, the Broncos are ranked as RotoBaller's 10th-best overall for Week 11.

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver
DK Metcalf has been incredibly quiet over the past two weeks, but he'll look to get back on track against the division-rival Cincinnati Bengals in Week 11. Cincinnati has been middle-of-the-pack against fantasy wideouts overall, though they've been notably tough on opposing WR1s lately. Still, it is difficult to overlook the potential for a shootout, as this contest carries one of the highest projected point totals of the week. While Pittsburgh's tight ends are likely to get involved, Metcalf remains the clear top target for quarterback
Aaron Rodgers and should see frequent usage on Sunday, especially if both offenses are trading scores. There is plenty of risk associated with starting Metcalf, but he offers a strong amount of upside as a low-end fantasy WR2 against the Bengals.

Denver Broncos kicker
Wil Lutz enters Week 11 as RotoBaller's 21st overall-ranked kicker in a tough matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs. After a lackluster offensive performance altogether in Week 10 against the Las Vegas Raiders, which included Lutz missing one of his two field goal attempts, the Broncos will likely struggle again to produce points as they face one of the league's best defenses once again. Lutz has also now missed one field goal attempt for two weeks in a row, although Week 9 was a blocked field goal. The veteran kicker will look to capitalize on his opportunities once again in what could be another tough defensive battle against the Chiefs.

Denver Broncos rookie running back
RJ Harvey may finally get the reins of the offense against the Kansas City Chiefs at home in Week 11. After a hip drop tackle injured lead back
J.K. Dobbins (foot) in Week 10, Harvey will likely get the most increase in touches and operate as the Broncos' true RB1 until his return, if there is one. Harvey has seemingly been fully onboarded into the offense at this point in the season, with featured packages in the red zone and leading the backfield with six total touchdowns on the season. If Harvey can absorb Dobbins' volume in yardage with his fifth-best 772 rushing yards on the season, it's likely that he will project as a dominant RB1 until further notice. However, with the tough matchup against the Chiefs, the Broncos' rookie comes in at RB21 in the latest RotoBaller rankings for this week.

November 15, 2025
Denver Broncos tight end
Evan Engram will continue to be a dump-off option on the field against the Kansas City Chiefs at home in Week 11. After averaging a healthy 6.75 targets per game in weeks four through seven, Engram has regressed to averaging just four per game for the past three weeks. There have only been two games this season where Engram has seen more than 50% of the offensive snaps, and with wide receiver
Marvin Mims Jr. back in action for Week 11, it's unlikely we'll see him get more snaps against the Chiefs. RotoBaller has Engram ranked as the 18th overall tight end against the Chiefs.
