NFL Week 11 Fantasy Football Rankings and Quarterback Predictions: Who to Sit, Who to Start
Welcome to another edition of "Fantasy Football Friday."
It's Week 11 of the 2014 NFL season, and no position in Fantasy Football is more important than the quarterback. The quarterback can make or break your league because of the high amount of points he can achieve week in and week out.
Here are the most notable quarterbacks you should consider starting and benching for Week 11:
Start
Peyton Manning
If you've got Peyton Manning on your Fantasy Team, you should have a great week. Manning and the Denver Broncos face the St. Louis Rams on the road. Even though it's a road game, we all know Manning thrives in dome games. This season, Manning has 29 touchdowns and seven interceptions. The Rams' defense ranks 27th overall in points against, and with so many injuries to the running back position, Manning will be passing the ball a lot. Expect Manning to have a great game.
Drew Brees
Last week was an embarrassing loss for the New Orleans Saints and Drew Brees. The Saints lost at home, where they are usually unbeatable, to the San Francisco 49ers. This week, Brees will get another chance at home, this time against the Cincinnati Bengals. One of the biggest surprises this NFL season has been the Bengals' defense, which ranks 30th overall in the league. More importantly, the Bengals' pass defense is ranked 20th. Most likely Brees will put up great numbers at home in Week 11 against the Bengals.
Phillip Rivers
After starting the season 5-1, the Chargers have lost their last three consecutive games to the Miami Dolphins, Kansas City Chiefs and Denver Broncos. Luckily for the Chargers and Phillip Rivers, they get to play the 0-9 Oakland Raiders this weekend. In Week 6, Rivers had three touchdowns and zero interceptions against the Raiders on the road. This game will be in San Diego, and the Chargers are desperate for a win.
Bench
Drew Stanton
With Carson Palmer now out for the season, Drew Stanton is now the Arizona Cardinals' starter moving forward. Stanton is an average quarterback who has played for multiple teams, but this task may just be too tough. The Cardinals will face the Detroit Lions, who have the No. 1 defensive unit in all of football this week. Ndamukong Suh and the Lions' defensive line may cause problems for Stanton and the Cardinals. The Lions' pass defense ranks third overall in the NFL.
Russell Wilson
The Seattle Seahawks are about to get a taste of their own medicine this week. The Kansas City Chiefs have the loudest fans in the NFL, and you can bet they will be looking to break the decibel record once again. Russell Wilson is a good quarterback, but the Chiefs' pass defense ranks No. 1 overall in the league. The Chiefs have not allowed a single 260-yard passing yard game against them this season. The loss of Percy Harvin won't help the defending Super Bowl champions, either.
Cam Newton
Even though the Carolina Panthers are facing the Atlanta Falcons this week, their passing game just can't be trusted. Cam Newton has thrown three touchdowns and six interceptions in his last four games. Rookie wide receiver Kelvin Benjamin has been great, but the departures of Steve Smith, Brandon LaFell and Ted Ginn Jr. are just too much to overcome. Newton has also been battling a lot injuries this season and has fumbled the ball seven times.
