Fantasy football rankings, sleepers and streamers for Week 11 from proven NFL model
SportsLine's model reveals its Week 11 Fantasy football projections, PPR rankings, start-sit advice for sites like CBS Sports, ESPN and Yahoo
With just two teams on a bye, Week 11 Fantasy football lineups may look a little more robust after four squads had off last week. The likes of Ja'Marr Chase, Dak Prescott, Javonte Williams, Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce are back in action, but Kansas City receivers may not be too appealing as Week 11 Fantasy football picks. That's because the Chiefs are facing a Denver team which has allowed the fewest Fantasy points to wideouts.
Observing which defenses are more conducive to allowing lots of points and yards should be a part of every manager's Fantasy football strategy. If the likes of Hollywood Brown, Rashee Rice and Xavier Worthy stay on your bench, then you'll want to see what the Week 11 Fantasy football projections forecast for others on your roster. Before making your Week 11 Fantasy football picks, be sure to check out the Week 11 Fantasy football rankings from the proven computer model at SportsLine.

Top Week 11 Fantasy football picks
One surprise in Week 11: The model is fading Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, a 10-time Pro Bowler who ranks as the TE5 this year. Even though Kelce had the second-most positional Fantasy points from Weeks 5-9 before a bye last week, he has a matchup to avoid as the Chiefs face Denver, which ranks No. 3 in scoring defense and No. 6 in passing defense. Just six teams have allowed fewer receptions or receiving touchdowns to tight ends than the Broncos, who've held their last three opposing starting TEs -- including Brock Bowers -- to an average of 44.3 yards and zero scores. Kelce sits outside the top 10 Fantasy tight ends in the Week 11 Fantasy football rankings, so he's one to fade.
Another curveball: The model is high on Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers, despite being the QB17 entering Week 11 and coming off the worst Fantasy performance of his Pittsburgh career. Rodgers has an extremely favorable matchup versus Cincinnati on Sunday as he had a four-touchdown game versus the Bengals in Week 7. Cincinnati has allowed the second-most Fantasy points to quarterback in 2025, as it's given up the most passing touchdowns and third-most passing yards. The model has Rodgers ranked above the likes of Patrick Mahomes, Caleb Williams and Matthew Stafford, despite all three of them being among the top 10 Fantasy QBs this season.
