Week 11 fantasy football start ’em, sit ’em RB analysis from FlurrySports includes the likes of Jaylen Warren of the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Before we jump into the fantasy start/sit at the running back position, I want to let you all know I will be doing an AMA on r/FantasyFootball on Saturday. I hope you all stop by and ask questions! Like last season, I will be responding to messages much longer than the typical 60 minutes, so ask any questions you have for me, whether they are related to fantasy or something else!
Seemingly, the only fantasy football running back we can mindlessly trust, Jonathan Taylor, is on bye in Week 11. So, good luck with the players you choose to start in your matchup. Clearly, anyone can have an off week (or a few). With so much inconsistency at the position, knowing who to lock into your starting lineup can be a difficult task. To help with that, we have the Week 11 Fantasy Football Start ’em, Sit ’em article!
No, you are not sitting Bijan Robinson despite him underperforming recently. Simply, start your studs! This article is designed to help solve some of those difficult RB2 or Flex questions you may have, with players who live in that grey area.
Now, labeling a player as a “sit” does not mean they are a must-sit player. As always, check out my weekly fantasy football rankings here. You can also become a member to join a group chat with me and other members where all fantasy football start ’em, sit ’em questions are welcomed!

Fantasy Football Start ’em, Sit ’em: Week 11 RBs
Start: Jaylen Warren Fantasy Outlook vs Bengals
Zach Brunner’s Week 11 Fantasy Football Rankings
The Bengals are the perfect team to start fantasy players against. Not only is their defense non-existent, but their offense puts up points, forcing teams to continue attacking. Cincinnati has allowed the third-most yards per carry this season (5.4), but this number jumps to 7.3 over their past three games. In terms of fantasy points allowed, nobody does it quite like the Bengals. In PPR scoring, the Bengals allow seven more points per game to RBs than the second-worst defense (Giants). Start Jaylen Warren and don’t worry about it.
Start: Woody Marks Fantasy Outlook at Titans
So, assuming Woody Marks sees the majority of the snaps once again, I love his potential against the Tennessee Titans! It makes sense that the Titans would be poor against fantasy RBs given that they are usually trailing, so opponents are in obvious run situations. However, even with opponents in obvious run situations, Tennessee still ranks as the eighth-worst defense in yards per carry allowed (4.8). Look for the rookie to have a solid, safe fantasy performance.

Sit: Kenneth Walker Fantasy Outlook at Rams
We have talked about two terrible run defenses, and now it’s time to talk about one that has played outstandingly. It is already a risk to play Kenneth Walker in any given week. He averages just 14.7 looks per game this season (27th among RBs, per the Opportunity Index) while averaging only 2.7 red zone looks per game. Walker is in a very clear snap split, doesn’t get much work in scoring position, and he doesn’t dominate the touches in the middle of the field either. So, the potential is low for Kenneth Walker.
Now, factor in the matchup. The Rams allow the second-fewest fantasy points per game to RBs this season. They have allowed just one rushing and one receiving touchdown to the position as a whole, and they are also seventh in yards per carry allowed (3.9). If possible, it’s best to avoid the Seattle RBs in this game.
Sit: Jacory Croskey-Merritt Fantasy Outlook vs Dolphins
In this week’s international game, Jacory Croskey-Merritt remains a “sit” for me. I thought last week would be the final time I needed to include him in this article, but the FantasyPros ECR has him as RB29 for the second week in a row. I understand thinking about playing him, since he plays the Miami Dolphins. Also, maybe he’s just a bad RB in America! While that is a fantastic thought, just go ahead and sit him.
Yes, the Dolphins’ run defense has been bad this season. They have allowed 4.9 yards per carry, which is the fifth-most in the league. However, over the past three games, they have allowed just 4.0 yards per carry, ranking as a top-10 unit during this time! These games were against Bijan Robinson, Derrick Henry/Lamar Jackson, and James Cook/Josh Allen. They have been good against great run offenses, so why the hell would Jacory Croskey-Merritt be the one to reverse the trend?
