Fantasy football rankings vs. expert consensus – Week 11

As we head into Week 11 of the fantasy football season, lineups need to be set, and with that comes some tough decisions. We’re coming down the home stretch of the NFL regular season, which means the stakes are even higher with the playoffs around the corner. As a result, this week’s start/sit decisions are that much more critical. 

One of the most popular tools here at FTN is our fantasy football rankings. Each week, we bring you non-PPR, PPR and half-PPR rankings to help you win your league. 

Throughout the season, I will break down what players our FTN rankers prefer more (or less) than the expert consensus rankings at FantasyPros. For this article, I will be looking at the half-PPR format.

Quarterback

• Our FTN crew and the ECR have a few key differences at quarterback. The most significant is with Kyler Murray — the ECR has him at 18 while our rankers have him at 9. 
• Our FTN crew believes Jalen Hurts will have a bounceback week and return with a top-three finish, while the ECR is a little bit more down on him this week. 
• Additionally, our FTN crew believes Josh Allen may underperform compared to his standards, as they have him one spot lower than the ECR. 
• Daniel Jones is a player the ECR is more in on than our FTN rankers as well, the ECR has him as a top 10 player this week while our rankers have him outside the top 10.

Running Back

• We also have three players three spots higher than the ECR this week: Nick Chubb, Brian Robinson and Gus Edwards. 
• Miles Sanders is a player our FTN rankers believe is a top-15 option this week while the ECR does not. 
• Cordarrelle Patterson is a player our FTN crew does not see as a top-20 option while the ECR does this week. 
• After that we have multiple players one spot lower than the ECR all within the top 12 this week: Austin Ekeler, Christian McCaffrey, Joe Mixon, Alvin Kamara and Dalvin Cook.

• Additionally, our FTN rankers have Courtland Sutton significantly lower, outside the top 15, while the ECR has him at 13. 
• Rondale Moore is a player our FTN rankers have just barely finishing inside the top 24 while the ECR has him firmly inside it. 
• Our rankers have Darnell Mooney inside the top 24 while the ECR has him outside it this week. 
• Additionally, Garrett Wilson, Curtis Samuel and Drake London are three players our FTN rankers believe in a bit more than the ECR.
