Let's wrap up our fantasy football rankings for week 11 by going over running backs!

We already checked out quarterbacks, wide receivers and tight ends. Keep checking back to FantasySP for more start/sit content for week 11 of the NFL regular season.

Check out week 11 fantasy football projections for running backs on FantasySP as well.

1. De'Von Achane

Achane snags the No. 1 RB spot going into week 11 after a monster week 10 showing.

A favorable test against the Commanders is a chance for Achane to keep rolling, and that's what I expect from him.

2. Christian McCaffrey

CMC struggled last week and still had 96 total yards on 20 touches. 

The Cardinals are a slightly below-average matchup for McCaffrey, who had 140 total yards on 27 touches against Arizona earlier this season.

3. Josh Jacobs

Jacobs continues to deliver big fantasy totals, despite not being super efficient on the ground.

He has a stellar matchup coming against the Giants, so I expect Jacobs to post a monster score, especially with several Packers' wideouts banged up. 

4. Bijan Robinson

Robinson was solid last week, but didn't score, so his fantasy score was lacking.

I like him bouncing back against Carolina - Robinson went for 111 total yards on 18 touches against the Panthers back in week 3. It's a pretty average matchup overall.

5. Jahmyr Gibbs

Gibbs was awesome last week, and he remains a high-end fantasy option every week.

The Eagles will be a slightly above-average matchup for the Lions' top back.

6. James Cook

Cook had an OK fantasy showing last week despite the Bills losing to the Dolphins.

I expect more from the offense and Cook in a pretty favorable matchup against the Bucs in week 11.

7. Rico Dowdle

Dowdle continues to serve as the top back for the Panthers, and he's the team's top fantasy asset. 

He has the Falcons in week 11, which is a super favorable fantasy matchup. Dowdle had 38 total yards and a score on just 11 touches in the first meeting against Atlanta, so he should star as the workhorse back now.

8. Jaylen Warren

Warren has been a pretty steady fantasy asset over the course of the season, but he has a chance to shine against the Bengals in week 11.

He went for 158 total yards on 20 touches in the week 7 clash between the teams. Cincy is the most favorable fantasy test for a back, so fire up Warren confidently this week.

9. Ashton Jeanty

Jeanty has delivered more often than not over the last six games.

He has a chance to keep rolling in a very favorable matchup against the Cowboys in week 11, and I expect him to shine.

10. Javonte Williams

Williams struggled a bit in his last game, but that was mostly because he didn't find the end zone or do much as a pass catcher.

I expect more from him in his test against the Raiders. Las Vegas is an average fantasy matchup for a back.

11. Kyren Williams

The passing game in LA is stealing the headlines, but Williams has been great for the Rams' offense too.

I'm interested to see how Williams fares against a tougher Seattle defense. I believe he'll get the job done and be a borderline top-10 fantasy asset.

12. Saquon Barkley

Barkley has picked things up over the past couple weeks, so he's trending up as a fantasy asset again.

He has a tough matchup against the Lions, so we'll see how he fares. I like him leading the Eagles' offense again.

13. D'Andre Swift

Swift returned to the field in week 10 and had a pretty solid PPR showing. 

Minnesota is a below-average test for him. Swift went for 65 total yards on 20 touches against them back in week 1, and I expect a bit more this time around.

14. Quinshon Judkins

Judkins bounced back in his last game, and now has a great matchup against the Ravens in week 11.

He tallied 72 yards on 13 touches in what was his NFL regular season debut in week 2 against Baltimore, so another similar performance should be in store.

15. Derrick Henry

The Browns are a tougher test for Henry, who has been an OK fantasy asset the past two weeks.

Henry was limited to 23 rushing yards on 11 carries against Cleveland in the first meeting between the teams.

16. Travis Etienne

Etienne maybe deserves to rank higher, but I just don't trust the Jaguars' offense.

The Chargers are a slightly below-average matchup for him, so we'll see how Etienne fares.

17. Chase Brown

The Steelers will be a tougher challenge for Brown, who has picked things up of late.

He went for 100 total yards on 13 touches in the team's last meeting, and I expect something similar again in week 11.

18. Kimani Vidal

Vidal was good in week 11, and he should remain a solid starting option as long as he's the team's No. 1 back.

Jacksonville is a bit tougher matchup, otherwise Vidal would rank several spots higher.

19. Woody Marks

Marks looked like an RB1 for the Texans last week, so we'll see if that happens again in week 11.

Tennessee is a great matchup for the rookie back, who went for 119 total yards and two scores on 21 touches against them the first time around.

20. Aaron Jones Sr. 

Jones looks like the top Minnesota back since returning to the field.

The Bears are just slightly an above-average matchup for the Vikings' veteran back. Jones had 67 total yards and a touchdown on 11 touches against them back in week 1.

21. Breece Hall

Hall was good in week 11, with a 42-yard TD catch powering him to a big fantasy score.

New England is a tough test for him though, so I don't love Hall as a result.

22. Rachaad White

White looks like he'll get at least one more start for Bucky Irving in week 11. Irving would rank a couple spots higher if he's cleared for takeoff this week.

The Bills are a pretty favorable matchup for White, so maybe he can end his time as the Bucs' top back with a bang.

23. TreVeyon Henderson

Henderson is starting to take off finally, but hopefully a knee ailment doesn't slow him.

The Jets are a pretty average test for the rookie, so he could easily outperform my ranking, especially if he scores a couple times again, or doesn't have to deal with Rhamondre Stevenson again.

24. RJ Harvey

Harvey might have the RB1 role to himself in Denver after J.K. Dobbins injured his foot.

Harvey struggled with the rest of the Denver offense last week, and a tougher test against the Chiefs is why I'm not higher on this rookie.

25. David Montgomery

Montgomery has been an OK fantasy back over the past four weeks, but his involvement is something I'd want over any other back, so he gets the No. 25 spot.

Philly's defense doesn't stop fantasy backs that well, so Montgomery and Gibbs could both shine, especially if the Lions' offense is moving the ball a bit.

26. Kenneth Walker

Walker continues to underwhelm, and he now hasn't scored in six straight games.

The Rams are the toughest fantasy matchup out there, but I have to get to 30 backs, so the lead Seattle back gets a top-30 spot.

27. Tyjae Spears 

Spears is still splitting the backfield workload in Tennessee with Tony Pollard, which caps the youngster's fantasy ceiling.

Houston is a tough test, which is another reason to rank Spears closer to No. 30.

28. Jacory Croskey-Merritt

I've been really disappointed that JCM hasn't taken off as the Washington lead back.

Miami is a pretty favorable test for him, which is the only reason he made this week's top-30 list.

29. Emari Demercado

Demercado looks like the best fantasy RB option for the Cardinals, so I'll give him the top-30 spot this week.

He barely played in the last matchup against the Niners, who the Cardinals face this week. San Fran is a slightly above-average test, so maybe Demercado can deliver.

30. Tyrone Tracy

I'm skeptical of even taking Tracy 30th, because I don't trust the Giants' backfield, especially after a coaching change and with Jameis Winston likely to be the starting QB.

He also has a tough test against a likely ticked-off Packers' defense, so don't be surprised if Tracy struggles a bit in week 11.
