Aidin Ebrahimi's five fantasy football bold predictions for Week 11 of the 2025 NFL season. Expert predictions for Tua Tagovailoa, Josh Allen, A.J. Brown, and more.
After a two-week absence, I am back with yet another bold predictions article! This week's TNF matchup wasn't the most shocking football game in the world, as the New England Patriots comfortably beat the New York Jets 27-14, securing their second winning season in the six years since Tom Brady's departure.
The last bold predictions article (Week 8) had some ups and downs, as Bo Nix outperformed Dak Prescott as I had predicted, and Chuba Hubbard scored his only TD of the year in an otherwise quiet game against Buffalo. Meanwhile, Emeka Egbuka wasn't too involved in the Bucs' win over the Saints before bouncing back with a 115-yard, one-touchdown performance in Week 10, and Cam Skattebo was on his way to having another great game against the Eagles before suffering a heartbreaking season-ending injury.
Now, we will look at my boldest predictions for Week 11. Some of these predictions are bolder than the others, and there's a high chance that none of them will even come to fruition. But hey, what's the fun in going for the obvious picks every single week? Without further ado, let's look at my bold predictions for Tua Tagovailoa, Marcus Mariota, Bijan Robinson, A.J. Brown, and Josh Allen.

The Final International Game of the Season Will Be a High-Scoring Affair
To many, the upcoming Commanders vs. Dolphins game will be a typical "Tank Bowl" game, as both teams are 3-7 and are just one or two losses away from being eliminated from playoff contention. However, there's more to this game than first meets the eye.

Both teams enter this game with horrible defenses. The Dolphins have allowed the fifth-most yards per drive so far this season, while the Commanders have allowed the second-most yards per drive.
Miami is coming off a huge upset victory over Buffalo, as they became the first team this year, since the Ravens in Week 1, to score 30 points or more against the Bills.
Washington might have lost their previous game against Detroit, but Marcus Mariota has done a solid job so far this season. In four starts, he has completed 68.0% of his throws, with six touchdowns to three interceptions and a 99.3 passer rating.
He has also averaged 17.3 fantasy points per game in those four starts, which is more than what players such as Jordan Love (16.7) and Sam Darnold (16.5) have averaged this year.
The two Hawaiian quarterbacks share a special bond, as Tagovailoa looked up to Mariota when he was in high school, and the then-Titans QB returned the favor by mentoring Tagovailoa before he went to Alabama.
Players such as Jacory Croskey-Merritt, Jaylen Waddle, and De'Von Achane are all looking to have big games, as playing at the Santiago Bernabéu, one of the most significant sporting venues in the world, could catapult them into becoming household names among casual fans around the world.
Expect this game to be a high-scoring shootout, with both QBs having good fantasy outings.
Bijan Robinson Will Get His Revenge
Three out of the Falcons' last four games against the Panthers have been complete embarrassments. The first was a 7-9 loss on a cold and rainy day in Week 15 of Bijan Robinson's rookie season.
The second loss was a 38-44 season-ending loss in the final game of the 2024 campaign, and the third was a 0-30 humiliation in Week 3 of 2025.
That first loss, in which Robinson had 14 yards on eight touches, is by far the worst game of Robinson's career (in games that he started and finished). The Panthers have averaged just 11.25 points per game in their last four games and are coming off a deflating loss to the Saints.
This is the perfect opportunity for Robinson to get his revenge on his fierce divisional rivals. He has averaged just 11.4 PPR points over his last three games, but Carolina has allowed 157.0 rushing yards per game in that same span.
The Eagles Will Feed A.J. Brown
The A.J. Brown controversy has been one of the biggest storylines of this season. Brown, who has earned a second-team All-Pro nod in each of his first three seasons as an Eagle, has been complaining constantly about his lack of targets.
Brown has been targeted 6.75 times per game this season, the lowest mark of his career since his rookie year.
Per NBC Philadelphia reporter John Clark, Brown had a "good conversation" with Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie, and this could be a turning point for his season.
The Lions have allowed over 100 rushing yards in just three of their games this season, and the Eagles will have to rely on Jalen Hurts' arm to get the job done this week.
Over his last five games, Hurts has completed 68.6% of his throws for 1251 yards and 11 touchdowns to just one interception with a sparkling 119.7 rating, and he'll likely look to feed his disgruntled wideout a bit more in a matchup that will come down to the passing game.
Josh Allen Will Finish As the Overall QB1 for the First Time Since Week 1
The Bills traded up with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to draft Josh Allen with the 7th overall pick of the 2018 NFL Draft, and ever since then, Allen has turned into a superstar.

This week, the reigning NFL MVP will face off against the Bucs for the third time, and his two previous performances against the team that originally owned his draft pick have been excellent.
Down 3-24 at the half against Tom Brady, Allen led a ferocious comeback to force overtime in his first game against the Bucs, and he got his first win against them in 2023, as he threw for 324 yards and two touchdowns, in addition to scoring a rushing touchdown in a 24-18 win.
Allen is coming off a poor showing against the Dolphins and is determined to move back up the MVP ladder with a great performance against the Bucs, who, excluding the Week 8 game against the hapless Saints, have allowed 23.2 fantasy points per game to opposing quarterbacks.
