Week 11 of the NFL season is here, and if you’re still in the fantasy football playoff hunt, every lineup decision counts more than ever. This week’s slate of games offers some tricky choices at the running back position — a mix of favorable matchups, injury returns, and unexpected committee shake-ups that could swing your fantasy fortunes.
Let’s break down who deserves your trust and who should ride the bench this week:
Start ‘Em:
Jahmyr Gibbs, Lions: The dual-threat back continues to shine as a playmaker, and facing a defense that struggles against pass-catching backs makes him a top-tier start.
Jonathan Taylor, Colts: Healthy, rested, and facing a soft front — he’s ready for a monster day.
Breece Hall, Jets: Even in a struggling offense, his volume and explosiveness make him nearly matchup-proof.
Sit ‘Em:
Najee Harris, Steelers: The touches are dwindling, and the matchup doesn’t favor his downhill style.
Rachaad White, Buccaneers: Facing an elite run defense that forces teams to abandon the ground game early.
James Cook, Bills: Production has been too unpredictable lately — better options exist.
If you’re on the fence about your lineup, remember: fantasy football in November is all about momentum. Don’t cling to big names — trust the workload and the matchups. One smart swap could be the difference between playoff glory and heartbreak.
