Houston Texans wide receiver
Christian Kirk had one of his quietest games of the season last week, despite the Texans airing it out in their comeback win over the Jaguars. Kirk finished with just one catch for three yards on three targets from
Davis Mills, who was starting in place of
C.J. Stroud (concussion). Mills will start again this week, and the Texans are expected to rely on their run game in their trip to Tennessee to face the Titans. In a reduced role in what is expected to be a conservative game plan, Kirk is just the WR64 in RotoBaller's rankings this week, making him not a great start in most formats.

Houston Texans wide receiver
Jayden Higgins is coming off a career-high five catches last week, when he played the second-most snaps on the team at receiver behind only
Nico Collins. He hauled in five catches for 42 yards and his third touchdown of the season. The rookie seems to be settling in as the team's second receiver and is in a generally favorable matchup this week against the Titans. However, since the Texans are expected to rely on their running game and defense instead of their passing game with
Davis Mills starting in place of
C.J. Stroud (concussion), Higgins is only the WR55 in RotoBaller's rankings this week. He does have touchdown-dependent upside, but he is a high-risk start in most formats.

Houston Texans wide receiver
Nico Collins is a good play this week against the Titans, even though he won't have
C.J. Stroud (concussion) throwing him the ball, which causes him to slide out of the top 10 in the rankings. Collins had a massive week last week while working with backup
Davis Mills, catching seven of 15 targets for 136 yards and tacking on a two-point conversion. The Texans will hope this week's game flow doesn't require Mills to throw 45 times, but it's clear that when the team does air it out, Collins is still the go-to option. Collins has double-digit targets in three straight games, and the Titans have been a good matchup for wide receivers this season. While the risk of a blowout is real, Collins is the WR12 in RotoBaller's Week 11 rankings, making him a strong WR2 option in all formats, even if the volume may be slightly lower this week due to game script.

Houston Texans running back
Nick Chubb is a touchdown-dependent flex option against the Titans in Week 11, since the Titans have allowed the fourth-most fantasy points to running backs this season. Chubb only played 10 snaps and had five carries against the Jaguars last week since the game script called for the Texans to go pass-heavy, but he had been playing around 50% of snaps before that. He had double-digit carries in four of his previous five games, though, and found the end zone in Week 2 and Week 5. He will likely need to get another touchdown to be a good option in Week 11, since his yardage totals haven't been great. What is great, though, is the matchup, and it boosts Chubb to RB34 in RotoBaller's Week 11 rankings as a result.

The San Francisco 49ers' D/ST unit has been a disappointment in fantasy in 2025, in no small part due to its inability to force turnovers or get to opposing quarterbacks. They may get some help in that regard in Week 11 when they meet with the Arizona Cardinals. Arizona has given up six turnovers in its last two games and is allowing the seventh-highest pressure rate and fifth-highest sack rate in the league. The 49ers won't see Cardinals wide receiver
Marvin Harrison Jr. (illness), who had his appendix removed earlier this week. Running back
Bam Knight (ankle) is listed as questionable after three straight limited practices, further dampening the Cardinals' prospects on offense. On the Niners' side, starting cornerback Deommodore Lenoir (calf) is listed as questionable after downgrading from a limited practice to a DNP on Friday. San Francisco's track record doesn't offer much optimism, but they are a serviceable streaming option given their matchup in Week 11.

Houston Texans running back
Woody Marks is a decent RB2 and an excellent flex play this week in his rematch with the Titans. In Week 4, he went off for a huge game in his first game against this division foe, racking up 69 rushing yards on 17 carries and adding 50 receiving yards on four catches. He also had one rushing score and one receiving score, and he was back in the end zone last week against the Jaguars, taking 14 carries for 53 yards and adding two catches for 18 yards. The rookie seems to have taken a lead in the backfield over
Nick Chubb, but Chubb will still be involved, especially if the Texans are playing from ahead. Marks is the No. 17 running back in RotoBaller's rankings for Week 11, and the Titans have allowed the fourth-most fantasy points to running backs this season, giving him a high ceiling this week.

San Francisco 49ers kicker
Eddy Pineiro went 2-for-3 on extra point tries and had no field goal attempts in the team's 42-26 loss to the Los Angeles Rams in Week 10. The miss was Pineiro's second of the season, the other also a failed extra point conversion. Pineiro remains perfect on field goal attempts in 2025, having made good on all 19 tries (including six from 50-plus yards out). Pineiro will seek to extend his streak while the 49ers try to rebound in another divisional matchup against the Arizona Cardinals in Week 11. Back in Week 3, Pineiro walked off the Arizona Cardinals with a 35-yard field goal as time expired, handing his team a 16-15 win over their division rivals. Pineiro clocks in with an average of 10.0 fantasy points per game and is projected as a top-10 option for Week 11, making him an excellent option for fantasy football lineups come Sunday.

The Kansas City Chiefs' defense will take on the Denver Broncos in Week 11. The Kansas City defense had been a solid unit, allowing 17 or fewer points in three straight games, until they faced
Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills in Week 10. The Chiefs' defense allowed 28 points in their Week 10 loss to the Bills. The Chiefs' defense will get a chance to bounce back against
Bo Nix and the Denver Broncos this week. The Broncos' offense is middle-of-the-pack in points per game this season, and the Kansas City defense has held opposing offenses to the third-fewest points per game this season. The main issue holding the Chiefs back is their lack of takeaways. The Chiefs' defense is tied for the fifth-fewest takeaways this season, which holds back their upside potential. That said, the Chiefs are one of the better teams in point prevention, which could be their saving grace against the Broncos this week. The Chiefs' defense is ranked seventh in our RotoBaller rankings, making them a start-worthy unit this week.

Houston Texans quarterback
Davis Mills will make his second straight start for the team in Week 11 when they visit the Titans, since
C.J. Stroud (concussion) will miss a second straight contest. Last week, Mills led the team to a big comeback win in Week 10 over the Jaguars by running for the game-winning touchdown to go with his 20 rushing yards and throwing for 292 yards and two touchdowns. Mills had to attempt 45 passes and connected on 60% of those passes, finishing with 27 completions. The Texans will hope for a very different game script this week, looking to play from ahead against the Titans. If they can do that, Mills shouldn't attempt nearly as many passes, limiting his ceiling. He's only the QB26 in RotoBaller's rankings, so he's a very shaky play since he should be in more of a game manager role this week.

Earlier this week, San Francisco 49ers tight end
George Kittle told members of the media that he is "looking forward" to playing with
Brock Purdy (toe) once again in Week 11, highlighting the quarterback's energy and leadership on the field. Purdy, who has thrown Kittle 21 of his 48 regular-season touchdowns, has not played with Kittle since Week 1. Kittle caught four passes from Purdy for 25 yards and one touchdown in that game before he left early with a hamstring injury that sent him to injured reserve. Also returning from injury in time for the 49ers' rematch with the Arizona Cardinals is wide receiver
Ricky Pearsall (knee). Pearsall's presence might take work away from Kittle, but it should also spread the Cardinals' defense out and make it possible for Kittle to be more productive even with fewer targets. As usual, Kittle is projected as a TE1 and should be locked into starting lineups in Week 11.

Kansas City Chiefs kicker
Harrison Butker will face the Denver Broncos on the road in Week 11. Butker is coming off the team's Week 10 bye, but found success heading into the break. Butker has gone 2-for-2 on field goals and 5-for-5 on extra-point attempts in his last two games, marking the first time this season he's been perfect in two straight games. Butker may be less involved against a strong Denver defense, which should be able to limit Kansas City's scoring opportunities. This Chiefs matchup also has a 44.5 O/U, putting it on the lower end of the spectrum this week. Butker is ranked K13 in our RotoBaller rankings, making him a viable start, but there are likely better options out there.

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver
Kendrick Bourne's role in the team's passing attack has diminished after
George Kittle returned from injured reserve in Week 7 and as
Jauan Jennings' health improved in recent weeks. Bourne made a splash with back-to-back 142-yard games in Weeks 5 and 6, but has just eight catches on nine targets for 111 yards in the four games since. His stock will fall further still in Week 11, as
Ricky Pearsall (knee) will return to the lineup after missing the 49ers' last six games. Bourne's snap share, already decreasing in recent weeks, should take a significant hit on Sunday.
Brock Purdy's (toe) return this week won't have the same impact on Bourne as it might have with Pearsall out of the picture. Bourne projects as a WR5 against the Arizona Cardinals' middling pass defense and should be left out of starting fantasy football lineups.

Kansas City Chiefs tight end
Travis Kelce will face the Denver Broncos on the road in Week 11. Kelce has been a strong option at the tight end position and should continue being that coming out of the team's Week 10 bye. The veteran tight end has managed to eclipse 60 receiving yards in four of the last five games and scored two touchdowns in that span. Kelce was virtually invisible when he played with
Rashee Rice in 2024 since the latter garnered all the targets and success. It was assumed that Kelce's value would take a hit with Rice's return in Week 7, but Kelce managed to put up his best fantasy performance of the year in Week 8. Despite his success, Kelce could have a difficult time against Denver this week. The Broncos defense has allowed the eighth-fewest fantasy points to opposing tight ends this season. Kelce is ranked TE10 in our RotoBaller Half-PPR rankings, making him a low-end TE1 against the Broncos.

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver
Ricky Pearsall (knee) has no designation on the team's final injury report ahead of their divisional clash with the Arizona Cardinals in Week 11. When San Francisco last faced Arizona, in Week 3, Pearsall had his most productive game of the season, catching eight of 11 targets for 117 receiving yards.
Jauan Jennings and
George Kittle both missed that game due to injury, making Pearsall the focus of the 49ers' passing attack. With all three pass-catchers now healthy, there will be less work for Pearsall, but he could see better production as the defense won't be able to focus their efforts on any one player. Pearsall's return coincides with that of
Brock Purdy (toe), who provides a slight bump to the prospects of San Francisco's skill players. Pearsall projects as a borderline WR3/4 in Week 11 with the upside that comes with being his team's preferred deep threat.

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.
