Fantasy Football Quarterback Rankings for Week 11: J.J. McCarthy, Matthew Stafford, Dak Prescott and More
Morgan gives his week 11 fantasy football rankings for quarterbacks.
Week 11 of the NFL regular season is nearly here, so let's jump into our weekly fantasy football rankings!
We will start with the quarterback position again. Check back for rankings for running backs, wide receivers and tight ends.
Check out week 11 fantasy football projections for quarterbacks on FantasySP as well.
Jackson gets the top spot for week 11 despite having a tough matchup against the Browns.
He threw for 225 yards and four scores, while avoiding a pick in the first matchup against Cleveland this season. That's why I don't mind starting him despite the tougher matchup, as his dual-threat ability will help him to a great score.
2. Josh Allen
Allen gets the No. 2 spot despite him losing and not playing the best against the Dolphins last week.
He gets the Buccaneers in week 11. That's an average fantasy matchup for a QB, and the elite Allen should deliver in it.
Mahomes is another elite fantasy QB with a tough matchup in week 11.
He has the Broncos, who are the second-toughest fantasy test for a fantasy QB so far. I still believe in Mahomes and think he will deliver a big fantasy score.
4. Drake Maye
Finally, a high-end fantasy talent with a good matchup!
Maye has the Jets, who are a top-10 fantasy matchup. He could easily lead the way amongst fantasy QBs if the Pats aren't scoring rushing touchdowns.
The guy I think is the MVP leader right now sits at No. 5 for week 11.
He has the Seahawks in a massive game. Seattle is an average matchup, so I expect Stafford to deliver another big score.
6. Jalen Hurts
Hurts has a pretty favorable matchup against the Lions, but with Hurts' shortcomings as a passer, I'm not as high on him.
Maybe he will still deliver a big fantasy score with some rushing stats.
Herbert has a stellar matchup against the Jaguars, so the only thing possibly holding him back is a lopsided win.
I expect Herbert to deliver for his fantasy owners again in this one.
Williams has the Vikings for a second time this season. They are an average matchup on paper.
Williams had 210 passing yards, a score and no picks, plus 58 rushing yards and a score in his first test against Minnesota, so I'm higher on the Bears' QB this week.
Let's turn back the clock and try Rodgers in a super favorable test against the Bengals.
Rodgers threw for 249 yards, four touchdowns and two picks the last time the teams met, so another big game should be in store for the aging veteran.
10. C.J. Stroud
If Stroud returns this week, I like him against the Titans, who are a slightly above-average matchup on paper.
He had 233 passing yards, two touchdowns and no picks against Tennessee back in week 4.
11. Dak Prescott
Prescott and the Cowboys' offense is looking to get back on track in week 11.
The QB has a slightly below-average test against the Raiders, but I see him being an above-average QB by the end of the week.
12. Baker Mayfield
Mayfield and the Buccaneers' offense is looking to regain its early-season form.
Mayfield has a very tough test against the Bills, but I expect him to be slightly above average in a must-have game for the Bucs.
13. J.J. McCarthy
McCarthy has a favorable test against the Bears this week.
He went for 143 passing yards, two scores and a pick, while rushing for 25 yards and a score back in week 1 against Chicago.
14. Jared Goff
Goff has a bit tougher test against the Eagles, but the Lions' offense is humming, so an average-or-better finish seems realistic.
Goff could really outperform my ranking if he throws for all the Detroit touchdowns.
15. Jordan Love
I'm down on Love right now, so that's why he ranks a bit lower going into a great matchup against the Giants.
This is a perfect time for Love and this Packers' offense to break out, but this is just where I feel safest ranking him.
16. Joe Flacco
Flacco has a favorable matchup against the Steelers this week, in what could be one of his final starts of the season with Joe Burrow almost ready to return.
Flacco threw for 342 yards and three scores, while avoiding a pick, in the last clash he had with Pittsburgh.
17. Bo Nix
I'm losing hope with Nix, and in a tougher test against the Chiefs, he falls to No. 17.
We'll see if he can change my opinion on him moving forward with a good outing in this one.
18. Sam Darnold
Darnold falls a bit below average in a tougher test against the Rams this week.
I like the Seattle offense though, so Darnold is certainly capable of delivering a better performance still - I just like him better in deeper leagues.
19. Tua Tagovailoa
Tagovailoa is a guy I wanted to rank higher, but this is just where I felt best putting him.
He has a stellar matchup against the Commanders, so he could outperform my ranking just because of the matchup.
20. Geno Smith
Smith has the best fantasy matchup a quarterback could have, so this could be too low of a ranking for him.
He's dealing with an injury, so his status will be one to watch this week.
21. Mac Jones or Brock Purdy
Whichever San Fran quarterback starts has a tougher test against the Cardinals in week 11.
Jones started against Arizona back in week 3, throwing for 284 yards and a score, but also throwing a pick. I'd rank whichever guy starts at No. 21.
22. Marcus Mariota
Mariota has a pretty favorable test coming against the Dolphins, I just don't trust him over the QBs I listed before him.
Mariota was solid last week against the Lions and could outperform my ranking again this week.
23. Jacoby Brissett
Despite the Cardinals getting smoked last week, Brissett had a pretty solid fantasy day, and has been above average in each of the past four weeks.
He has a favorable test against the Niners, so he too could outperform my rankings by quite a bit - there's a lot of really solid deep-league starting options out there this week.
24. Trevor Lawrence
Lawrence has a really stiff test against the Chargers in week 11.
He's coming off a down fantasy outing, but had been average-or-better in the four games before that, so we'll see if he bounces back.
25. Michael Penix
Penix has a below-average test against the Panthers.
He threw for 172 yards, no touchdowns and two picks in the last meeting against Carolina, so I'm not high on Penix this week.
26. Justin Fields or Tyrod Taylor
Whoever starts for the Jets has a pretty average matchup coming against the Patriots.
Fields has a bit higher fantasy upside with his running ability, but both would rank here at No. 26.
27. Dillon Gabriel
Gabriel has an above-average matchup against the Ravens, although they've been much tougher of late.
He didn't start in the team's first meeting, but did throw a touchdown in relief. Gabriel looked decent last week, so we'll see if he builds on that outing.
28. Bryce Young
Atlanta is a tougher test for Young, so I'm down on him - his poor showings of late don't help his cause.
Young had 121 passing yards, but no scores or picks in the first matchup. He did rush for eight yards and a score to post an OK fantasy score.
29. Cameron Ward
Ward has a tough test coming against the Texans.
The rookie QB threw for 108 yards and a pick (no touchdowns) in the first meeting, while adding 22 yards on the ground.
30. Jameis Winston
Winston looks like he'll be making a start for New York.
He has a tough test against the Packers, who are going to be playing pissed off. I would avoid Winston this week if I could.
Final Notes
If Davis Mills starts for Stroud again, I'd rank him between Nix and Darnold, even after Mills looked great last week.
If Smith isn't cleared, then Kenny Pickett would likely start for Las Vegas. I'd rank him between Brissett and Lawrence for the week.
If Jaxson Dart is cleared from his concussion and starts against the Packers, I'd slot him between Flacco and Nix in my rankings.
