It’s hard to believe that we’ve already reached Week 11 of the NFL season. While that means it’s time to start planning for Thanksgiving and the Holiday Season, it also means we have to plan around some bye weeks. This, of course, complicates things in terms of setting your lineups and finding the optimal plays for your rosters. It also means that some of your sneakier FLEX options you’ve been stashing on your benches will have their time to shine while your studs rest up to return to action. The teams on bye in Week 11 are listed below for you:
- Arizona Cardinals
- Tampa Bay Buccaneers
- New York Giants
- Carolina Panthers
In Week 11, we have a larger sample size of data to consider as we craft our weekly rankings and make our Sit/Start recommendations for the week. We’ll continue to make observations, draw conclusions, and try not to overreact as we work to bring you the best possible fantasy advice to help you win your leagues. As always, you can check out my list of weekly rankings to complement these Sit/Start recommendations.
Some quick notes before you jump in:
- Remember, sits/Starts and Rankings are not set in stone. They are tools to guide you, not rules to follow blindly. Use them to shape your own decisions and make the best lineup adjustments for your team. Good Matchups are great, but getting too cute can cost you the week. Ask yourself this: “Am I going to feel more tortured by benching player X and him going off, or not playing player Y?”
- Have fun, talk trash, and win your matchups. If you don’t, there’s always next week.
Let’s Dive in.
