Fantasy football Week 11 rankings: Who to start and sit

Week 11 brings a lot of under the radar matchups that could make or break a fantasy team this week. Start and sit decisions are more important than ever.

The fantasy playoffs are closing in and one decision every week can win or lose a matchup. Owners have to make the right choice in the coming weeks to make sure they get into the postseason. This week features a tight end that has been money that could be sat, a “freak” receiver coming off a bye and a quarterback that is in a bad matchup that shouldn’t be feared. Almost every call in Week 10 paid off, with Steelers receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster being a “Sit” standing out as the worst of the batch.

Start: Kenyan Drake, RB – Miami Dolphins

Once the Dolphins traded Jay Ajayi to the Philadelphia Eagles, that opened the door for playing time for the dynamic Kenyan Drake in the Dolphins backfield. True, he does split time with Damien Williams. There are still reasons to feel confident in starting Drake as a mid-range flex option this week.

One of the factors working for Drake is he is being targeted in the passing game. He may not be the best pure running back and so far has been reliant on breaking the big run. Even Monday night, Drake didn’t do much outside a long 66-yard touchdown run.

The receptions he’s been getting so far means he’s a fairly safe option even if he gets bottled up in the run game. Drake and the Dolphins are at home against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, meaning there are good odds Drake has at least one big play in him this week.
