Chicago Bears kicker
Cairo Santos has been a safe floor option at the position this season. Through seven games, Santos has made 12 of 15 kicks, while making all 20 extra point attempts. Santos is averaging 9.1 fantasy points per game this season, which puts him on pace to finish as the 13th-ranked kicker. The Bears face the Minnesota Vikings in Week 11, which will be Santos's first indoor game since Week 2. Despite the ideal kicking conditions, the Vikings may fare as a tough matchup for the veteran kicker, as only one other team has forced more missed field goals this season than the Vikings. Santos is a low-end starting option against the Vikings, as he looks to have his first big game of the 2025 season.

Buffalo Bills kicker
Matt Prater did not attempt a field goal in his team's surprising 13-point performance in their Week 10 loss to the Miami Dolphins. Prater has now gone two consecutive weeks without a made field goal, as he missed both of his attempts in Buffalo's Week 9 win over the Kansas City Chiefs. Still, the 41-year-old has generally been solid this season, knocking in 12 of 14 field goal attempts and 26 of 27 extra-point tries across nine games. He should have some chances to get back on the board when the Bills host the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 11. Through 10 weeks, both Buffalo and Tampa Bay rank in the top 11 in the NFL in per-game scoring. One possible concern for Prater's fantasy outlook in Week 11 is the potential for windy weather in Buffalo, so managers should monitor the forecast on Sunday. Still, Prater profiles as a low-end starting kicker option in Week 11.

The Chicago Bears defense is trying to bounce back after struggling in the past two games. After giving up 42 points to the Bengals offense in Week 9, rookie quarterback
Jaxson Dart led the Giants offense to a strong start before leaving the game early. The Bears' defense has given up 27.4 points per game (sixth-worst) and 375.7 yards per game (fifth-worst), but they remain a viable option in Week 11. They face a Vikings offense that has been struggling, with
J.J. McCarthy throwing six interceptions in four starts. This could play into the Bears' strengths, as they lead the NFL in takeaways this season. The Bears D/ST is a solid starting option this week, as they look to continue their run of forcing turnovers.

Through nine games this season, Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver
Tre Tucker has recorded 34 catches for 455 yards and four touchdowns. With wideout
Jakobi Meyers no longer with the Raiders after being traded at the deadline, Tucker profiles as the WR1 and number two pass-catcher behind tight end
Brock Bowers in Las Vegas. Tucker's first game without Meyers in Week 10 was underwhelming, as he recorded just two catches for 28 yards on three targets against the Denver Broncos. However, Tucker now gets a significantly easier matchup in Week 11 against the Dallas Cowboys. Through 10 weeks, the Dallas defense ranks 30th in yards per pass attempt allowed (8.2) and 31st in touchdown passes allowed (22). Tucker should be heavily involved in the Raiders' Week 11 game plan, which could create plenty of opportunities for production. He profiles as a low-end fantasy WR3 in Week 11 against Dallas.

Chicago Bears rookie tight end
Colston Loveland was a key contributor in Week 10 and is looking to further his breakout this week. After demolishing the Bengals in Week 9, Loveland hauled in four passes for 55 yards against the Giants, which ranked second among the team. Despite coming off the breakout, his snap count did not improve, as
Cole Kmet outsnapped the rookie (69%-63%) in Week 10. Loveland faces the Minnesota Vikings in Week 11, who rank in the middle of the pack in terms of fantasy production from tight ends. Despite the first-round talent and improving production, Loveland is still a risky start in fantasy leagues this week due to his low snap count.

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback
Geno Smith hasn't had his best season through nine games and is coming off another tough performance in Week 10 at the Denver Broncos. Smith completed 16 of 26 passes for 143 yards and an interception, while also taking a season high six sacks. The 35-year-old came out of the game briefly for
Kenny Pickett due to a bruised quadriceps injury, but was able to return and finish the game. Smith had the mini-bye after playing on Thursday night to rest the injury and heads into Monday night without an injury designation. The veteran hasn't been a playable fantasy option in most leagues in his first year in Las Vegas, but he has appeal as a QB2 streamer against a poor Dallas Cowboys defense that has allowed the most fantasy points per game to opposing quarterbacks on Monday night. Smith ranks as RotoBaller's QB18 for Week 11.

The Los Angeles Rams elevated kicker
Harrison Mevis to their active roster from the practice squad ahead of Sunday's divisional showdown against the Seattle Seahawks. Mevis signed with the Rams in early November and will kick in his second NFL game in Week 11 in place of
Joshua Karty, who has struggled this season. He made all six extra points last week against the 49ers, but didn't attempt any field goals. The 23-year-old steps into one of the most favorable fantasy situations for a kicker with an elite Rams offense that produces plenty of scoring opportunities. Mevis immediately ranks as one of the better kickers to own in fantasy, coming in at No. 12 in RotoBaller's rankings for Week 11.

Denver Broncos running back
Jaleel McLaughlin is poised for more opportunities in Week 11 against the Kansas City Chiefs with
J.K. Dobbins (foot) out for the foreseeable future. Head coach Sean Payton said that McLaughlin is "ready" when asked what he's seen from the 25-year-old behind the scenes despite having been a healthy inactive for nine of 10 games this season. Rookie
R.J. Harvey will likely handle a bigger workload with Dobbins sidelined, with McLaughlin in a change-of-pace role while
Tyler Badie continues to play mostly on pass downs. It's tough to predict exactly how the touches will be distributed on Sunday versus the Chiefs, but McLaughlin is expected to be a part of the plan to some extent. He could be worth a speculative add in deeper leagues to see how the backfield roles play out on Sunday.

Las Vegas Raiders rookie running back
Ashton Jeanty has had underwhelming efficiency on a massive workload this season. Jeanty has topped 4.0 yards per carry in only two games this season while running behind a struggling Raiders offensive line. The sixth overall pick in this past year's draft has turned heavy volume into solid fantasy production, ranking as RB16 in PPR points per game (14.6) among running backs with at least four games played, with his 166 total touches ranking 11th most in the league. Jeanty's floor for fantasy points has been raised lately with more involvement as a pass catcher, catching 16 of his 22 targets for 116 yards and a touchdown in his past five games. The rookie back gets a beautiful matchup in Week 11 on Monday Night Football against a Dallas Cowboys defense that has allowed the fourth most PPR points per game to opposing running backs.

Atlanta Falcons running back
Tyler Allgeier continues to put himself in the Flex conversation after scoring his fifth and sixth rushing touchdowns of the season last week. In games where Atlanta remains competitive, the 25-year-old tends to stay involved, and Week 11's matchup against the Panthers should be one of those games despite losing to Carolina 30-0 back in Week 3. Carolina has allowed 157 yards rushing per game over the last three weeks, which is the fourth-highest total in the league, and has been stingy against the pass, so Atlanta may prefer to stick to the ground in this one as much as possible. The BYU product has been getting a healthy number of attempts inside the red zone, including five last week compared to just one for
Bijan Robinson, so he could be in line for a score this week, too. Averaging just 3.6 yards per carry, though, makes him a touchdown-dependent RB4/Flex option, who has put up just a total of 5.0 fantasy points in the games in which he failed to score.

The Pittsburgh Steelers' defense recorded five sacks while allowing 23 points to the Los Angeles Chargers in a Week 10 loss. The unit held up strong early but wore down in the second half as the offense struggled to sustain drives and keep it off the field. In Week 11, Pittsburgh will be tested again by the Cincinnati Bengals, who dropped 33 points and 470 yards when these teams met in Week 7. While the Steelers should benefit from playing at home this time around, they will be short-handed without star linebacker Alex Highsmith (pectoral) and defensive back Darius Slay (concussion). Bengals quarterback
Joe Flacco has been prone to turnovers at times this season, but with this contest carrying one of the highest projected point totals of the week, it's difficult to justify starting the Steelers DST in fantasy on Sunday.

Las Vegas Raiders tight end
Brock Bowers is coming off his quietest game of the season in Week 10 versus the Denver Broncos, catching just one of his three targets for 31 yards. Bowers returned in Week 9 against the Jaguars after missing three games due to a knee injury, and produced the best game of his young career with 12 catches for 127 yards and three touchdowns on 13 targets. The superstar tight end should be expected to bounce back with a great matchup on deck in Week 11 against the Dallas Cowboys on Monday Night Football. Offensive coordinator Chip Kelly took the blame for not getting Bowers more targets in their Week 10 loss, saying, "We have to get him more involved." Expect Bowers to be the focal point of the Raiders' game plan and go off in a matchup with the highest total of the week.

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver
Brian Thomas Jr. (ankle) is a risky flex play in Week 11 against the Los Angeles Chargers. He missed last week against the Houston Texans, and is currently questionable. BTJ has been underwhelming for fantasy managers this season, so even if he does return from injury, he is tough to trust in lineups in a difficult matchup. Until he shows he is healthy and ready to contribute, BTJ is hard to trust in fantasy lineups beyond a shot in the dark in the flex spot. Fantasy managers can start Thomas Jr. in Week 11 if they want, but it’s a bit of a risky move at the moment.

Pittsburgh Steelers kicker
Chris Boswell had an uncharacteristically rough outing in Week 10, hitting his lone extra-point try but converting on just one of his two field goal attempts in the loss to the Los Angeles Chargers. His miss from 45 yards was a rare slip for the veteran, who is typically automatic from inside 50 yards when weather and field conditions aren't a factor. Fortunately, he's in a great spot to bounce back at home against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 11. Sunday's contest carries a high projected point total, setting the stage for plenty of scoring opportunities. The 34-year-old checks in as a top-three option in RotoBaller's kicker rankings this week and should remain locked into fantasy lineups.
--Jorden HillSource: RotoBaller
November 15, 2025
Jacksonville Jaguars running back
Travis Etienne Jr. should serve as a solid RB2 once again in Week 11 against the Los Angeles Chargers. In a very inconsistent offense, Etienne Jr. has been a lone bright spot, serving as arguably the only consistent and reliable fantasy option in the Jacksonville offense. Last week, he finished with 77 total yards and a rushing touchdown on 18 touches. Fantasy managers should be expecting a similar or even better week given the similar matchup type. As long as the Jaguars don’t change their approach too much, fantasy managers should be happy with Etienne Jr.’s output in Week 11.
