The 2025-26 NFL season is underway which means we are in the thick of fantasy football season! The fantasy landscape has already changed since the preseason due to breakout players and major injuries across the league. Bye weeks have been taking place. This means that quarterbacks like Daniel Jones and Tyler Shough will be out this week. It would be irresponsible to start a player with a rough matchup over a player with a more favorable one that is ranked or projected to perform similarly. Here are fantasy football Week 11 quarterback rankings.
[Ratings are subject to change due to injury reports or possible move to Injured Reserve List]
[Check out the section below for details on players already rumored to possibly miss this week and how their replacement options rank for the week]
Must Start- a player who should definitely be in your lineup that week because of the combination of matchup and talent. They will likely finish near the top of the league in points that week and could repeat the production most weeks.
Starter- a player who makes fantasy owners comfortable starting week after week. Regardless of the matchup, this player has a high floor.
Low-End Starter- a player who should be started in most lineups but can possibly bottom out and finish below average on a given week. A high ceiling play in two-quarterback or superflex leagues.
Streamer- a player who could be a perfect replacement for a starter for a week or two. Starting this player may not win you your lineup but they will make sure that your production out of that position will not lose you your matchup either. Also a viable option in two-quarterback or superflex leagues.
Deep League Streamer- a player who could fill a void at a position in a deeper league. Their ceiling may be close to average point production at the position but their floor is enough to get through the week. A reasonable player to have in your lineup in two-quarterback or superflex leagues.
Leave on the Bench- a player who should be avoided in all lineups that week. Many times this player could even be left on waivers.

QB5 Jaxson Dart, New York Giants
Jaxson Dart was diagnosed with a concussion last week against the Chicago Bears. Given the nature of the injury it seems unlikely that Dart will play this upcoming week. If Dart misses Week 11 against the Green Bay Packers Jameis Winston becomes QB22 between Justin Fields and Michael Penix Jr.
QB9 C.J. Stroud, Houston Texans
C.J. Stroud missed last week’s game against the Jacksonville Jaguars with a concussion. There is a chance that he returns this upcoming week. If Stroud misses Week 11 against the Tennessee Titans Davis Mills becomes QB13 between Jacoby Brissett and Aaron Rodgers.
QB24 Geno Smith, Las Vegas Raiders
Geno Smith suffered a quad injury last week against the Denver Broncos. He played through the injury last week and finished the game. If Smith misses Week 11 against the Dallas Cowboys Kenny Pickett becomes QB28 between Bryce Young and Dillion Gabriel.
Brock Purdy, San Francisco 49ers
Brock Purdy has missed the past six games with a toe injury. He is currently considered week-to-week and not expected to return this week. There is no reason for the 49ers to rush Purdy with how well Mac Jones has ran this offense. Jones is a streamer option for fantasy managers most week’s because of his high floor every single week.
