1. Josh Allen vs TB

2. Lamar Jackson at CLE

3. Dak Prescott at LV

4. Drake Maye vs NYJ

5. Jalen Hurts vs DET

6. Justin Herbert at JAX

7. Matthew Stafford vs SEA

8. Baker Mayfield at BUF

9. Patrick Mahomes at DEN

10. Aaron Rodgers vs CIN

11. Jared Goff at PHI

12. Jacoby Brissett vs SF

13. Marcus Mariota at MIA

14. C.J. Stroud at TEN

15. Caleb Williams at MIN

**Jaxson Dart is off the list while he's in concussion protocol.

Drake Maye jumps up the list with a matchup against the Jets looming, and so does Jacoby Brissett after two decent starts show he can be consistent.

Falling this week are Baker, Mahomes, and Caleb Williams, who are each in a very tough matchup. While Baker may have shined in fantasy in a losing effort against the Pats, Mahomes and Caleb also struggled in their last outing.

Another curious thing to keep an eye on is Jared Goff's much lower ranking on most fantasy sites. Without a running potential and a matchup in Philly, some may not believe in Goff this week, but he's been one of the best in the league and remains around my top 10.

Running Backs

Christian McCaffrey at ARI
James Cook vs TB
De'Von Achane vs WAS
Josh Jacobs at NYG
Jamyr Gibbs at PHI
Bijan Robinson vs CAR
TreyVeyon Henderson vs NYJ
Saquon Barkley vs DET
Derrick Henry at CLE
Jaylen Warren vs CIN
Ahston Jeanty vs DAL
Kyren Williams vs SEA
D'Andre Swift at MIN
Javonte Williams at LV
Quinshon Judkins vs BAL

With Jonathan Taylor on a bye this week, we have a new number one in my ranking heading into Week 11. Christian McCaffrey takes the top spot this week with James Cook close behind. De'Von Achane rounds out my first tier of players within my rankings, as all three could explode for huge weeks against favorable matchups.

My second tier of RBs ranges from the 5-7 spots. After a breakout game last week, Tre'Veyon Henderson skyrockets up my rankings heading into his matchup with the Jets. He, along with Gibbs and Robinson, should all get the volume and opportunity to create explosive plays that should propel them to elite RB1 production.

My third tier comes in between the 8-11 slots. All of these guys are very interchangeable to me, as their matchups are a little more difficult than the players ranked above them. Nonetheless, these guys should not have a problem scoring a touchdown or getting efficient yardage to produce RB1 numbers.

My fourth and final tier of RBs in this ranking comes in at the 12-15 slots. This tier consists of more consistent RB1 players (Kyren Williams and Swift) with tough matchups, as well as high-end RB2s (Javonte Williams and Judkins) who have good enough matchups to produce RB1 numbers this week.

1. Ja'Marr Chase at PIT

2. Jaxon Smith-Njigba at LAR

3. Amon-Ra St. Brown at PHI

4. Puca Nacua vs SEA

5. Justin Jefferson vs CHI

6. CeeDee Lamb at LV

7. Drake London Q vs CAR

8. Jalen Waddle vs WSH

9. Emeka Egbuka at BUF

10. Nico Collins at TEN

11. Rashee Rice at DEN

12. A.J. Brown vs DET

13. Davante Adams vs SEA

14. Ladd McConkey at JAX

15. Devonta Smith vs DET

Ja'Marr Chase takes the number one spot on my list this week because of a very favorable matchup against the 32nd-ranked Pittsburgh Steelers secondary defense. Despite the Steelers having the highest-paid defense in the NFL, they have struggled this season to contain yardage, allowing an average of 376 yards per game. Chase should have a field day with these conditions, so be ready for that.

I dropped Puka Nacua down to the No. 4 spot because of a tough and competitive matchup against the Seahawks this week. The Seahawks, also a 7-2 NFC West team, boast a top-10 defense, which had a good game against the Cardinals this past Sunday. Nacua is a superstar receiver and is expected to produce, yet the Seahawks know Nacua's talents and will try to lock him down this weekend. It could be a big game for Davante Adams, who could have a breakout game with the attention on Nacua.

Rashee Rice is another player whom I dropped down some spots on this list because of a tough matchup against Denver. Denver's defense has been one of the best in football all season and will look to give the reigning AFC West champions a run for their money. Rice is still expected to put up good numbers as he has been the heart of the receiving offense for the Chiefs since his return from suspension.

The only player on the list who is questionable is Drake London. London did not practice on Wednesday due to an illness, per Tori McElhaney of the Atlanta Falcons' official site. I expect he will be back well enough to play the Panthers this Sunday.

1. Trey McBride vs SF

2. Brock Bowers vs DAL

3. George Kittle at ARI

4. Jake Ferguson at LV

5. Sam LaPorta at PHI

6. Dallas Goedert vs DET

7. Hunter Henry vs NYJ

8. Oronde Gadsden at JAX

9. Theo Johnson vs GB

10. Zach Ertz at MIA

11. Travis Kelce at DEN

12. David Njoku vs BAL

13. Mark Andrews at CLE

14. T.J. Hockenson vs CHI

15. Dalton Schultz at TEN

Another week of the Top-4 TEs remaining in their group with only one major drop being Travis Kelce, whose matchup with the Broncos should keep him limited.

There is starting to be a clear "Second Group" with Goedert, Henry, Gadsden, and LaPorta, and this week is no different with LaPorta the clear lead in this tier.

The outskirts of the Top-15 again include Andrews, Hockenson, and Njoku, with Dalton Schultz being added after his relationship with Davis Mills resulted in back-to-back weeks of 10+ points.
