Blake Corum's Role Not Enough to Overcome Tough Matchup?
Los Angeles Rams running back Blake Corum has taken on an expanded role lately, registering at least 12 carries in each of his last three games. He played at least one-third of the offensive snaps in two of those three contests. He's also averaging 4.4 yards per carry over the last two weeks. Despite taking on an expanded workload in his role behind Kyren Williams, Corum could be headed for an underwhelming performance in Week 11, even if he continues to log double-digit touches. Corum is rarely ever involved in the passing game, relying on his rushing stats to anchor his fantasy performances. That could backfire on Sunday against the Seahawks, who have allowed the fewest rushing yards, third-fewest rushing touchdowns, and seventh-fewest fantasy points to opposing running backs in 2025. They've been much softer against pass-catching running backs, but that's more of a factor for Williams than Corum, given their respective roles. Against a tough defense, Corum remains a mere handcuff and can be left on the bench in fantasy football.

Jonnu Smith Has Some Upside Against Bengals
Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Jonnu Smith had his worst showing of the season in Week 10 and will hope to be more involved against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 11. This matchup is as good as it gets for fantasy tight ends, as the Bengals have surrendered the most fantasy points, the most yards, and the most touchdowns to the position this season. When these division rivals met in Week 7, all three of Smith, Pat Freiermuth, and Darnell Washington found the end zone in a shootout. With Sunday's contest once again expected to be high-scoring, Smith could see additional looks from quarterback Aaron Rodgers as both offenses fight to keep pace. His floor remains extremely low, but fantasy managers can consider Smith as a streaming option with a fair amount of touchdown upside this week.

D'Andre Swift Off Injury Report, Faces Tough Vikings Run Defense
Chicago Bears running back D'Andre Swift is off the injury report and is set to play in Week 11 against the Minnesota Vikings. This marks the first time since Week 6 that Swift has no injury designation, as he has been playing through nagging hip and groin injuries throughout the season. Despite playing through injury, Swift has been a game-changer for the Bears this season. In eight games, he has 754 scrimmage yards and five touchdowns on 136 total attempts. However, Week 11 marks his first relatively tough opponent he's had since Week 2, as the Vikings have allowed the 13th fewest fantasy points to running backs this season. This run defense is no joke, as they've held Derrick Henry and Jahmyr Gibbs to under double-digit fantasy points in back-to-back weeks. Swift profiles as a risky RB2 this week, with his value dependent on whether he finds the endzone in Minnesota.

Josh Allen Could Be Set Up for Monster Performance in Week 11
Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen attempted 40 passes and topped 300 passing yards for just the second time this season in his team's ugly Week 10 loss to the Miami Dolphins. Allen and the rest of the Bills will be looking to make up for last week's performance in Week 11 when they host the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Through 10 weeks in 2025, Tampa Bay has been a favorable matchup for opposing passing attacks. The Bucs defense is a bottom-10 unit in terms of yards allowed per pass attempt (7.4). Tampa Bay has also generally been fairly stout against the run, which could force the Bills to turn to the air more often than they would typically like. If there's one area of concern for Allen's fantasy outlook, it's that he will be without one of his top receiving weapons in tight end Dalton Kincaid (hamstring). Still, Allen is a must-start fantasy quarterback in all league formats in Week 11.

Caleb Williams Looking to Continue His Stellar Play Against Vikings
Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams has been a fantasy superstar in November, averaging 31.9 fantasy points in the last two weeks. Not only has Williams been fantastic through the air, but he's been elite on the ground as well. The second-year quarterback is in the midst of a breakout season, ranking as the QB6 on a per-game basis. He faces the Minnesota Vikings in Week 11, a defense that he has had plenty of success against in his career. In three career games against Brian Flores' defense, Williams has averaged 21.9 fantasy points per game and no interceptions. Williams is a QB1 in Week 11 and is a sure-fire start in all fantasy formats, as he looks to continue his hot streak.

Milton Williams Could Miss Multiple Weeks with High-Ankle Sprain
New England Patriots defensive tackle Milton Williams (ankle) could miss multiple weeks after suffering a high-ankle sprain during Thursday's Week 11 win over the New York Jets. Williams exited in the first quarter and was initially listed as questionable. According to the broadcast on Amazon Prime, he briefly returned to the game before exiting again. After his second exit, he did not return. The 26-year-old was one of New England's biggest offseason signings, ditching a reported contract with the Carolina Panthers to sign with the Patriots at the last minute. He has 27 tackles and 3.5 sacks this year, helping the Patriots emerge as one of the league's best run defenses in 2025. With Williams slated to miss time, Cory Durden should earn more snaps along the defensive line.

Kyren Williams Has Reduced Rushing Upside in Tough Matchup Sunday
Los Angeles Rams running back Kyren Williams is preparing for one of his toughest matchups of the season as he faces the Seattle Seahawks in Week 11. The Seahawks have been very strong against the run, allowing the fewest rushing yards, third-fewest rushing touchdowns, and seventh-fewest fantasy points to opposing running backs in 2025. Those figures don't bode well for Williams, who, despite ranking as the overall RB9 in PPR leagues with 4.5 YPC, has been forced to share some of his volume with Blake Corum. Seattle can severely limit running backs' efficiency, so handling a heavy dose of touches is Williams' best chance of slowly racking up yardage and perhaps getting an extra chance to break off a big run. With Corum as a persistent thorn in his side, Williams' rushing upside is significantly lower. With that all being said, Williams could make a significant impact as a pass catcher. The Seahawks have allowed the second-most catches and the third-most receiving yards to running backs this year. Even if Williams' rushing upside is limited, he could still salvage his fantasy performance with a productive day as a receiver. Managers can continue to deploy him as a fringe top-12 running back in fantasy football.

Kyle Pitts Sr. a Low-End TE1 With Upside in Week 11
Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts Sr. is coming off a two-catch performance for 38 scoreless yards in Week 10, but despite that poor outing, the 25-year-old is still averaging over six targets and five catches for 46 yards per game this year. Unfortunately, he's recorded just one touchdown on the season, but that type of volume could eventually lead to a big week. That could be this week against the Panthers, a defense that has yielded the eighth-most half-point PPR points to opposing tight ends thus far, including five touchdowns. Hopefully the 6-foot-6 tight end doesn't drop any passes that could go for big gains like he did last week, and hopefully Michael Penix Jr.'s accuracy improves, but on his typical target volume alone, he projects as a low-end TE1 on Sunday with upside if he can fine the end zone.

Puka Nacua on Track to Feast Again Despite Tough Matchup
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua should continue to be deployed as a WR1 in all fantasy football leagues ahead of his Week 11 matchup against the Seattle Seahawks. Outside of a brief injury blip a handful of weeks ago, Nacua has been a high-end WR1 every week, producing 66 catches for 775 receiving yards and four touchdowns so far. He ranks as the #4 wide receiver in total fantasy points this year, and he's tied with Rashee Rice for #1 in fantasy points per game. This week's matchup against Seattle is noticeably tough, as the Seahawks have allowed the fifth-fewest fantasy points to wide receivers in 2025. Nevertheless, Nacua is one of those players who you put in your lineup and forget he's there. He should be started as a high-end WR1 every week, and Week 11 is no exception.

Davante Adams Looks to Extend Impressive Touchdown Streak Against Seattle
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Davante Adams (oblique) remains a must-start in fantasy football as he prepares for Sunday's Week 11 matchup against the Seattle Seahawks. Adams is listed as questionable but expected to play in this key divisional battle. The veteran receiver was playing at a high level near the start of the season, but he has really taken things up a notch in his most recent games. Over his last three contests, he has totaled 16 catches, 172 yards, and a whopping six touchdowns. He's averaging one touchdown per game in 2025 and ranks as the overall WR7 in PPR leagues so far. With touchdowns in three consecutive games, Adams will look to keep his streak going against a respectable Seattle defense that has allowed the fifth-fewest fantasy points to wide receivers in 2025. That's not what fantasy managers like to hear, but Adams has repeatedly proven that he's matchup-proof. He should still be started as a terrific WR1 option this week.

Matthew Stafford Remains Must-Start in Key Divisional Matchup
Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford continues to play at an MVP level, and he should be started in all fantasy leagues ahead of Week 11 against the Seattle Seahawks. Despite having no rushing upside, Stafford has been delivering some of the best fantasy performances of his career lately. He has a whopping 20 passing touchdowns over his last six games and ranks as the overall QB7 in fantasy football this season. Sunday's matchup will pit two divisional foes head-to-head with a chance to gain -- or lose -- key ground in the NFC West. The Seahawks have been tough on quarterbacks this year, but they still surrendered 258 passing yards and two touchdowns to Jacoby Brissett last week. The ceiling remains incredibly high for Stafford, who has repeatedly proven that he is matchup-proof.

Trey McBride a Top Receiving Threat for Cardinals in Week 11
Arizona Cardinals tight end Trey McBride should continue to handle a heavy workload, especially after the team announced that Marvin Harrison Jr. (appendix) is ruled out for Week 11 against the San Francisco 49ers. Harrison is a talented playmaker who is capable of making catches in coverage, which is similar to McBride's skill set. As a result, when Jacoby Brissett needs a receiver to make a physical or contested catch, he'll likely trust McBride more than some of the other wide receivers, such as Michael Wilson or Greg Dortch. McBride is already the TE1 in PPR scoring this year, catching 61 passes for 603 yards and a career-high six touchdowns. He'll have a chance to build on his strong campaign this Sunday against the 49ers. He remains a must-start fantasy tight end, especially against a 49ers defense allowing the fifth-most fantasy points to tight ends in 2025.

Bengals Place Shemar Stewart on Injured Reserve
Cincinnati Bengals defensive end Shemar Stewart (knee) is being placed on injured reserve, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. Stewart has battled ankle and knee injuries in his first NFL season, limiting him to just five games. The rookie has six tackles so far and has yet to record his first professional sack. He'll now miss a minimum of four weeks, leaving Joseph Ossai and Myles Murphy in line to earn more defensive snaps.

Greg Dortch Stepping Into Larger Role Sunday
Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Greg Dortch is expected to handle increased opportunities with Marvin Harrison Jr. (appendix) sidelined for Sunday's Week 11 contest against the San Francisco 49ers. Dortch hasn't caught a pass in his last two games, but he has continued to earn offensive snaps while also maintaining his involvement as a returner on special teams. An inconsistent role has limited Dortch's fantasy relevance for a long time, but single-week opportunities like these -- as the No. 2 receiver behind Michael Wilson -- give him an opportunity to make an impact as a low-end WR3/flex. The Cardinals will need to throw the ball to keep within striking distance of the 49ers, and Jacoby Brissett has played quite well lately. He should help elevate Dortch's game against a Niners defense allowing the ninth-most fantasy points to wide receivers in 2025.

Michael Wilson Atop Depth Chart for Week 11 Against Niners
Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Michael Wilson enters Week 11 against the San Francisco 49ers atop the team's depth chart. With Marvin Harrison Jr. (appendix) sidelined, Wilson will operate as the Cardinals' No. 1 receiver. He has been a steady contributor this season, but he hasn't been impactful enough to carry fantasy relevance. Through nine games, he has 22 catches, 231 yards, and one touchdown, producing single-digit fantasy points in every contest. On a more positive note, he played 92 percent of the snaps last week and has 11 targets over his last two games. It's unclear how Wilson will handle playing against the 49ers' top cornerback, but at the very least, we expect him to have a higher floor than usual thanks to his increased volume. In an anticipated negative game script scenario, Wilson is a strong candidate to handle at least six to eight targets. This week's matchup bodes well, too, as San Francisco has allowed the ninth-most fantasy points to wide receivers in 2025.
