Teams on BYE: 49ers, Bears, Bills, Giants
Kirk Cousins – Vikings vs. Dallas 4:25 P.M. EST
Available in 64% of Yahoo Leagues and 84% of ESPN Leagues
Cousins has strung together strong performances in back to back weeks for the Vikings. He has thrown for 512 yards and 5 touchdowns over the past two games. The Vikings take their 3 game winning streak into a good matchup with the Cowboys on Sunday. The Vikings offense is starting to click at the right time. Dalvin Cook has been running the ball exceptionally well, and Thielen and rookie Justin Jefferson continue to produce. Cousins is a good streaming option for Week 11, and will be even better if the Cowboys can somehow find a way to stay competitive.
Jameis Winston – Saints vs. Falcons 1:00 P.M. EST
Available in 71% of Yahoo Leagues and 84% of ESPN Leagues
Does Winston still have what it takes to be a starter in the NFL? We will find out on Sunday. Winston put up impressive yardage as a starter for the Buccaneers last season throwing for over 5,000 passing yards with 33 touchdowns. His untimely and abundant interceptions last season were his downfall. 30 to be exact. We will see how much versatile Taysom Hill gets used, but you cant ask for a better opponent than the Falcons for Winston to air it out.
Derek Carr – Raiders vs. Chiefs 7:20 P.M. EST Sunday
Available in 66% of Yahoo Leagues and 57% of ESPN Leagues
On paper, the Raiders matchup with the Chiefs is a tough one. But that didn’t stop Carr from delivering in the Raiders first matchup with the Chiefs this season. During Week 5, Carr threw for 347 yards with 3 touchdowns and an interception in an upset victory over the Chiefs. The Chiefs are bitter about the loss in Week 5 and will be ready for the Radiers in Week 11. Expect Carr to throw early and often as the Raiders try to keep up with the Chiefs in this revenge game on Sunday night.
Alex Smith – Washington vs. Cincinnati 1:00 P.M. EST Sunday
Available in 93% of Yahoo Leagues and 94% of ESPN Leagues
Smith is making the most out of his return to the NFL from a brutal injury. He passed for a career high 390 yards on 55 pass attempts in the Week 10 loss to the Lions. The volume should be there again for him in Week 11 against a susceptible Bengals defense. This one could turn into a shootout against rookies Joe Burrow, Tee Higgins and the rejuvenated Bengals offense.

Cam Newton – Patriots at Houston – 1:00 P.M. EST Sunday
Netwon and the Patriots are coming off a big upset of the Baltimore Ravens in Week 10 keeping the Patriots playoff dreams alive for 2020. Newton hasn’t put up a ton of passing yards, but he has still been a consistent rushing attack for New England. It is a great matchup for Netwon this week as he Texans have allowed more rushing yards per game to opponents than any other team this season.
