Around the middle of last week, things were really looking up at the running back position, but after Nick Chubb (COVID), Damien Harris (concu sion), and Alvin Kamara (knee) were ruled out and Clyde Edwards-Helaire (knee) and Chris Carson (neck) were deemed not healthy enough to come off the IR, things quickly went downhill. We're not totally sure what to expect this week, but we're taking an optimistic approach with our Week 11 fantasy RB PPR rankings.Just two teams are on bye this week (Rams, Broncos), and fantasy owners might actually be relieved they don't have to make start 'em, sit 'em decisions with Javonte Williams and Melvin Gordon. The lo s of those two and Darrell Henderson only slightly thins out our rankings and really doesn't affect the very top tier.WEEK 11 PPR RANKINGS: | | | | Nate Orchard Jersey We're banking on getting Saquon Barkley (ankle) back after his bye, but a matchup with Tampa might have some questioning whether they should play him. The Bucs sport the No. 2 run defense, but they allow over seven receptions per game to RBs, so Barkley is still a must-start in PPR leagues. The Jets, Bengals, Seahawks, and Eagles also allow over seven catches/game to RBs, so give Myles Gaskins (@ Jets), Josh Jacobs and Kenyan Drake (vs. Bengals), James Conner (@ Seahawks), and Kamara and Mark Ingram (@ Eagles) bumps in PPR value.WEEK 11 STANDARD RANKINGS: | | | | | There Nazair Jones Jersey are plenty more favorable matchups in terms of fantasy points per game allowed. Clyde Edwards-Helaire and Darrel Williams (vs. Cowboys), Michael Carter and Ty Johnson (vs. Dolphins), Tony Pollard (@ Chiefs), and Adrian Peterson and Jeremy McNichols (vs. Texans) aren't "must-starts," but they're in great spots this week.WEEK 11 FANTASY: | | On the flip side, you have Carson and Alex Collins (vs. Cardinals), Jordan Howard and Boston Scott (vs. Saints), Zack Mo Nick Vannett Jersey s and Devin Singletary (@ Colts), and Antonio Gibson (vs. Panthers) in especially tough matchups. None catch enough pa ses to have considerably extra value in PPR value, though Gibson looked good last week and J.D. McKi sic might still work as a low-ceiling flex.WEEK 11 DFS LINEUPS: | | As always, health will have more effect than anything on these rankings. We mentioned a bunch of the key banged-up backs above, but Kareem Hunt (calf) and Miles Sanders (ankle) are both eligible to come back this week, too, while Aaron Jones (knee) is on the wrong side of questionable right now. Expect plenty of changes leading up until kickoff.WEEK 11 DFS: | | Note: We'll be updating these RB PPR rankings throughout the week, so check back for analysis and the latest player movement.For individual analysis of key RBs, click here.Fantasy RB PPR Rankings Week 11: Who to start at running backRankings are based on full-point scoring RankPlayer1Najee Harris, PIT @ LAC2Christian McCaffrey, CAR vs. WAS3Ezekiel Elliott, DAL @ KC4Dalvin Cook, MIN vs. GB5Nick Chubb, CLE vs. DET6Austin Ekeler, LAC vs. PIT7D'Andre Swift, DET @ CLE8Leonard Fournette, TB vs. NYG9AJ Dillon, GB @ MIN10Josh Jacobs, LV vs. CIN11Jonathan Taylor, IND @ BUF12James Robinson, JAX vs. SF13James Conner, ARI @ SEA14David Montgomery, CHI vs. BAL15Damien Harris, NE @ ATL16Saquon Barkley, NYG @ TB17Joe Mixon, CIN @ LV18Michael Carter, NYJ vs. MIA19Jeff Wilson Jr., SF @ JAX20Myles Gaskin, MIA @ NYJ21Mark Ingram, NO @ PHI22Clyde Edwards-Helaire, KC vs. DAL23Antonio Gibson, WAS @ CAR24Alex Collins, SEA vs. ARI25Devonta Freeman, BAL @ CHI26Ty Johnson, NYJ vs. MIA27Kenyan Drake, LV vs. CIN28D'Onta Foreman, TEN vs. HOU29JD McKi sic, WAS @ CAR30Darrel Steve Largent Jersey Williams, KC vs. DAL31Mike Davis, ATL vs. NE32Tony Pollard, DAL @ KC33Miles Sanders, PHI vs. NO34Zack Mo s, BUF vs. IND35David Johnson, HOU @ TEN36Tony Jones Jr., NO @ PHI37Jamaal Williams, DET @ CLE38Devin Singletary, BUF vs. IND39Jordan Howard, PHI vs. NO40Adrian Peterson, TEN vs. HOU41D'Ernest Johnson, CLE vs. DET42Rhamondre Stevenson, NE @ ATL43Nyheim Hines, IND @ BUF44Brandon Bolden, NE @ ATL45Samaje Perine, CIN @ LV46Phillip Lindsay, HOU @ TEN47Salvon Shaquem Griffin Jersey Ahmed, MIA @ NYJ48Latavius Murray, BAL @ CHI49Matt Breida, BUF vs. IND50Ronald Jones II, TB vs. NYG51Khalil Herbert, CHI @ BAL52Eno Benjamin, ARI @ SEA53Devontae Booker, NYG @ TB54Giovani Bernard, TB vs. NYG55Rashaad Penny, SEA vs. ARI56Derrick Gore, KC vs. DAL57Trey Sermon, SF @ JAX58Alexander Mattison, MIN vs. GB59Carlos Hyde, JAX vs. SF60Boston Scott, PHI vs. NO61Chuba Hubbard, CAR vs. WAS62Jaret Patterson, WAS @ CAR63Damien Williams, CHI vs. BAL64Jerick McKinnon, KC vs. DAL65Ty'Son Williams, BAL @ CHI66Larry Rountree III, LAC vs. PIT
