Keys to a fantasy football victory in Week 11

Dominate your fantasy football leagues with these keys to victory for Week 11.

Dobbins is coming off an interesting week. He played his usual 67% of the team’s snaps but only handled 45% of the rush attempts. Gus Edwards returned for this game and immediately saw 10 carries to Dobbins’ 15. We also saw Hassan Haskins get involved for a goal-line touchdown in his revenge game against his former team, the Titans.

This caused some panic for Dobbins’ fantasy managers, but I’m here to say, “R-E-L-A-X.”

Dobbins is fine.

This was Edwards’ most efficient day of the season. This likely led to him earning more volume than we saw him get in Weeks 3-4. But Dobbins still handled a team-high 18 opportunities and was used as the primary passing-down back. Expect Dobbins to continue to be the clear RB1 on the Chargers. This week he gets a nice matchup at home against the Bengals. Cincinnati allows the seventh most rushing efficiency this season according to NFL Pro. Start Dobbins with confidence in Week 11.

Pollard produced just 63 scoreless yards in Week 10. This was his worst performance in nearly two months. This also happened to be the same week backup Tyjae Spears returned from a hamstring injury. Spears was efficient, turning his 10 touches into 51 yards while playing a season-high 47% snaps. But this needs more context because Pollard left this game for some time with an ankle issue. It’s likely Pollard would’ve commanded more snaps and touches had he not left the game.

Pollard should be fine moving forward, but this week he has a tough matchup. Pollard and the Titans are six-point underdogs against the Vikings. Minnesota allows the second-fewest rushing yards per game this season. There’s a chance Spears earns more passing-down snaps if the Titans fall behind in this one. You can still start Pollard this week but temper your expectations in this sketchy spot.
