Uncover the Fantasy Football Stars of Week 11

Risers

Justin Herbert - Los Angeles Chargers: In Week 11, Justin Herbert once again showed his QB1 prowess. Throwing for 297 yards and two touchdowns against the Bengals on Sunday Night Football, he has been on a roll recently. The Chargers now hold a 7-3 record, and Herbert has thrown for over 270 yards in four of his past five starts. He's proving that he's still one of the best signal callers in the league when healthy. Despite being an overlooked fantasy pick this season, managers can expect big things from him down the stretch.

Jauan Jennings - San Francisco 49ers: Jennings had an outstanding performance against the Seahawks in Week 11. Catching 10 out of 11 targets for 91 yards and a touchdown in a tough divisional loss, he took full advantage in the absence of tight end George Kittle. Jennings appears to be a preferred target for quarterback Brock Purdy and has the potential to be a solid WR2/3 for fantasy managers moving forward.

Jerry Jeudy - Cleveland Browns: Jerry Jeudy exploded in Week 11, recording 142 yards and a touchdown against the Saints. Most of his production came on an 89-yard score in the first quarter, and he has seen at least 11 targets in consecutive weeks. Quarterback Jameis Winston has breathed new life into this Browns passing offense, and Jeudy has tallied double-digit fantasy points since Winston took over. He is rising to fantasy relevance for the rest of the year.

Roschon Johnson - Chicago Bears: Roschon Johnson had a solid showing in Week 11, carrying the ball ten times for 33 yards and a touchdown. While he is still the Bears' backup to D’Andre Swift, he is receiving more opportunities under new offensive coordinator Thomas Brown, particularly in the red zone. Swift only saw four more carries than Johnson, and Johnson could be a sneaky deep league waiver wire add for fantasy managers. The Bears backfield is worth keeping an eye on as Johnson could continue to see greater rushing volume.

Fallers

Jonathan Taylor - Indianapolis Colts: Jonathan Taylor had a disappointing outing in Week 11, rushing for only 54 yards on 24 attempts for a measly 2.38 yards per carry. Although the Colts backfield is his, his touchdown upside is limited with Anthony Richardson back under center. Richardson scored two rushing touchdowns against the Jets and is set to be the Colts starter for the remainder of the season. Taylor still remains a low-end RB1, but his rest of season fantasy rankings have fallen for a first round fantasy pick (ADP 10).

Aaron Jones - Minnesota Vikings: Aaron Jones struggled against a stout Titans defense in Week 11 of fantasy football, tallying only 3.8 points. He recorded his lowest yards per carry of the season (2.6) and hasn't scored a rushing touchdown since Week 7. Jones has been battling numerous injuries this season and is likely playing through them, which could be hindering his production. Additionally, backup Cam Akers is eating into his workload in recent weeks, reaching double-digit carries in consecutive games. Jones will look to bounce back against the Bears next week but is only a mid to low-end RB2 moving forward.

Garrett Wilson - New York Jets: Garrett Wilson couldn't get anything going in Week 11, catching four passes for only 18 yards against the Colts. He has scored single-digit fantasy points in two straight outings as the Jets' season-long offensive struggles continue. Wilson's Week 11 totals were a season-low for both receptions and receiving yards as the Jets enter their bye week. It might be time for 40-year-old Aaron Rodgers to consider retirement. With a record of 3-8, the Jets' playoff hopes are essentially over and they will likely consider further organizational changes this coming off-season.

Kirk Cousins - Atlanta Falcons: Kirk Cousins had an abysmal outing against the Broncos, as the Falcons got blown out 38-6. He hasn't thrown a passing touchdown and has been sacked at least three times over the past two games. While Cousins has had some QB1 performances this season, his fantasy floor is very low, and he has scored single-digit points in nearly half of his games this year. The Falcons will have an extra week to regroup before facing a tough Chargers defense in Week 13.
