Another week, another round of crucially important start/sit decisions. To help you make them, here’s a look at six players with bust potential in Week 11.

QB Kirk Cousins, Atlanta Falcons
Kirk Cousins has had a solid bounce-back season coming off a ruptured Achilles that ended his 2023 campaign. Through 10 weeks, he ranks as fantasy’s QB10, ranked third in passing yards (2,634) and tied for the fourth-most passing touchdowns (17) — a great fit so far with WRs Drake London and Darnell Mooney, TE Kyle Pitts and RB Bijan Robinson in the passing game.
But his opponent this week, the Broncos, are tied for the third-lowest EPA per pass attempt (-0.21) while ranking fourth in the league with a 39.2% pressure rate and the second-highest sack total in the league (35), only behind the New York Giants. Per PFF, Cousins has had the sixth-highest turnover-worthy play rate among QBs with 25+ pressured dropbacks this season at 7.3%, throwing for 5 TDs and 7 INTs on such plays.

Unfortunately, there are some reasons to pump the breaks on Harris’ upside for fantasy heading into Week 11. Just last week, he snapped a three-game streak of 100+ rushing yards in Week 10 (the first such streak of his career) against a Commanders defense that has been fairly friendly toward the run, averaging just 2.5 yards per attempt on 21 carries. Meanwhile, teammate Jaylen Warren saw 14 total carries — tied for the second-most he’s…
