Game environment is the foundational starting point in making fantasy football lineup decisions. As such, I’m going to break down each game on the slate into three categories: Binge, Stream and Skip.
Games you want to “binge” are like the show you can’t miss; you’re watching as soon as it goes live and might just crush all the episodes in one weekend. These are the start-all-your-guys fantasy games and ones with season-defining storylines.
Games you want to “stream” are like the shows you certainly watch start to finish, but perhaps you’re finishing it over time instead of one shot. While these games might not feature a ton of “must-starts,” we can pick and choose our spots, and the teams are likely to matter in the NFL playoff picture.
Lastly, the games you want to “skip” are like the shows you’re leaning toward passing on, but you might catch an episode here and there (or might stick to reading recaps online to stay up with the culture). There will be a non-obvious player or two who stands out in these games, but overall, they aren’t the best environment for fantasy football.
Let’s dive into my Week 11 Fantasy Football Viewer’s Guide.

Baltimore Ravens at Pittsburgh Steelers
The Ravens and Steelers offenses have been some of the most enjoyable units to watch over the last month, for different reasons. The Ravens can sting you in so many ways, and they need it because their defense on the other side isn’t the same fearsome group we know. Pittsburgh’s offense is limited because Russell Wilson is a “touchdown to check-down” quarterback at this phase, but it works so well. Given Wilson’s still-live deep ball and the wide receivers at his disposal, the team can lean into this volatile identity.
All that said, there’s a part of me that can’t shake the feeling that so many Ravens-Steelers games just get dragged into the mud. It won’t shock me if this game, which looks like a prime high-scoring matchup for fantasy managers,…
