Start ‘Em, Week 11 Fantasy Football must-starts:
QB – Quarterback:
Jared Goff (vs CHI): The Lions QB is getting back in the groove and has a prime matchup against at home against the Bears. With David Montgomery back, DET’s offense is firing on all cylinders in what should be an overlwhelming game for the Bears defense.
Sam Howell (vs NYG): Washington’s second year QB is in the group and setting all kinds of records. Washington’s new OC Eric Bieniemy has also shocked the NFL with his pass-heavy offense.
RB – Running back:
David Montgomery is set to lead the Lions backfield once again in a great matchup.
David Montgomery (vs CHI): Montgomery was our featured start last week and did not disappoint with 17.5 fantasy points. The cowbell should see lots of action, despite an improvement in Chicago’s defense with the arrival of DE Montez Sweat.
Jerome Ford (vs PIT): The Steelers defensive front is stout, but Deshaun Watson’s season-ending injury should give an uptick in carries for the (still) leading Browns running back.
WR – Wide receiver:
C. J. Stroud and Nico Collins are destined to link up again this weekend versus Arizona.
Nico Collins (vs AZ): The Houston Texans WR1 is back with a great matchup at home vs Arizona. With how C.J. Stroud’s been playing, Colling is a must start in Week 11.
Brandon Aiyuk (vs TB): While Christian McCaffrey is still the Niners main offensive weapon, Aiyuk has clearly become QB Brock Purdy’s favorite receiving weapon. Despite skepticism heading into the season regarding his usage, the wide receiver is on track (675 yards, 3TDs on 55 targets) to put up the same numbers he did in 2022.
TE – Tight end:
Cardinals TE Trey McBride has had a great three-game stretch.
Trey McBride (at HOU): McBride is on the best three-game stretch of his career, and that only improved last week with the return of QB Kyler Murray under center. AZ’s tight end continues to excel after Ertz’s injury.
Logan Thomas (vs NYG): The Commanders tight end has a good matchup at home against New York. While the Giants’ defensive is not the NFC East’s team weakness, Logan Thomas is on track to beat his best ever Fantasy season in 2020.

- Detroit Lions (vs. CHI)
