Introduction

As Week 11 of the 2025 fantasy football season kicks off, the stretch run is here with only four regular-season games left for most leagues. Teams with seven or more wins are poised for playoff contention, while others face a nerve-wracking journey to secure their postseason dreams. Whether you're aiming for a Round 1 bye or trying to keep your championship aspirations alive, we've got the essential position-by-position PPR rankings and player insights covered.

Quarterback Watch

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford is on fire, having thrown for at least four touchdowns in three straight games—a new NFL record. With 20 touchdown passes and zero interceptions over the past six weeks, Stafford has become the highest-scoring quarterback in the NFC. His teammate, wideout Puka Nacua, lauded Stafford's performance, suggesting he's playing at an elite level.

Fans should keep an eye on Justin Herbert of the Los Angeles Chargers as he faces the Jaguars, who allow the fifth-most fantasy points to quarterbacks. In contrast, players like Jared Goff and Baker Mayfield are recommended to avoid this week due to difficult matchups against tougher defenses.

Running Back Rankings

Jonathan Taylor of the Indianapolis Colts is the top running back, dominating the league with 244 rushing yards and three touchdowns last week. However, he'll be on a bye this week. Look out for Ashton Jeanty against the Cowboys' weak defense and Jaylen Warren against the Bengals, who possess the worst defense this season.

Avoid Breece Hall in a tough matchup against the Patriots and Derrick Henry, who might struggle against the Browns' defense.

Wide Receiver Insights

Ohio State's legacy continues, as Jaxon Smith-Njigba leads all wide receivers in fantasy points. Chris Olave and rookie Emeka Egbuka also stand out among the top 10 wideouts. Tee Higgins could shine against a weakened Steelers defense, while George Pickens maintains solid output despite defensive challenges from the Raiders.

Tight End Outlook

Brock Bowers has struggled but will look to turn things around this week. Orande Gadsden II and Kyle Pitts present favorable matchups, while Sam LaPorta may have a tough time against the Eagles’ stout defense.

Defense and Kicker Rankings

The Seattle Seahawks lead fantasy defenses after impressive performances, while the Houston Texans also rank high against a struggling Titans squad. Keep an eye on the Washington Commanders for a potential sleeper option.

Conclusion

As the fantasy playoffs approach, it's critical to set aggressive lineups for Week 11. Whether you're striving for a playoff spot or a top seed, prioritize high-ceiling players to maximize your chances for success. Prepare your roster wisely and best of luck!
