The big question when compiling our Week 11 fantasy RB PPR rankings was what to do with David Johnson and Kenyan Drake. Johnson looked like a shell of himself as Drake doubled him in carries and received six more targets last week. Logicially, that should lead us to rank Drake over Johnson, CeeDee Lamb Jerseys right? Well, we're not out of a stubborn belief that Johnson will be better this week. Stupid? Perhaps, but name value goes a long way in fantasy football, even when it shouldn't. (Update: We've come to our senses and moved Johnson down further after Cardinals coach Kliff Kingsbury commented on his health, or lack thereof.)
But even if you prefer Johnson or Drake, neither is an exciting play this week against the 49ers. Drake put up big numbers against them just two weeks ago, but the odds of that happening again seem slim, especially with Johnson "healthy". Broncos backs Royce Freeman and Phillip Lindsay, both solid receivers, havesimilar matchups against Minnesota. You can play both as FLEXes, but neither seem quite worthy of RB2 status.
WEEK 11 NON-PPR RANKINGS: | | | | |
If you're looking for PPR-specific sleepers, James White (@Eagles),Kareem Hunt (vs. Steelers), Duke Johnson (@ Ravens), and Jaylen Samuels (@ Browns) are Dallas Cowboys Hoodies Sweatshirts your top guys, and the usual crew of Tarik Cohen (@ Rams), Nyheim Hines (vs. Jaguars), etc. are in the mix, as well. J.D. McKi sic is more interesting this week with Ty Johnson (concu sion) ailing, while Hunt is almost a must-start after receiving 11 touches (four carries, seven catches) in his first game. Fantasy owners can't expect exactly the same results every week, but it's clear Cleveland wants to make sure of his talents.
WEEK 11 PPR RANKINGS: |
Devonta Freeman (@ Panthers) is also in a good spot to rack up PPR points, but a foot injury could keep him out. That would leave Brian Hill as the primary runner and likely receiving back, though Kenjon Barner could also mix in and steal some catches. Either way, Hill will be a virtual must-start if Freeman mi ses time. (Update: Freeman is expected to mi s this week.)
Another interesting PPR "sleeper" is Derrius Guice (vs. Jets), who's expected to see his first playing time since Week Leighton Vander Esch T Shirts 1. A suming he's fully recovered from his knee injury, Guice would likely handle some receiving-down work while splitting carries with Adrian Peterson. The Ezekiel Elliott T Shirts talented second-year back had three catches on three targets in limited action in Week 1, so clearly he's capable of making plays out of the backfield.
WEEK 11 DFS LINEUPS: | | | | |
We had a couple PPR surprises in Week 10, with Ronald Jones (vs. Saints in Week 11) coming out of nowhere to catch all eight of his targets for 77 yards. Kalen Ballage (vs. Bills) also managed four catches in his new starting role. It only went for two yards, but it was nice to see Miami involve him in that part of the offense.

The backs on bye this week are Saquon Barkley, Aaron Jones/Jamaal Williams, Derrick Henry, and Chris Carson.
