Week 11 of the fantasy football season has arrived, and tough lineup decisions abound with critical matchups on the horizon. Fortunately, ESPN’s elite team of fantasy experts—Eric Moody, Eric Karabell, and Tristan H. Cockcroft—are here to guide you through the gauntlet with their live Q&A session. From 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. ET, they’ll be answering all of your most pressing start/sit conundrums, injury concerns, and roster dilemmas to help you lock in winning lineups.
Injury Updates & Latest Buzz
As kickoff rapidly approaches for the eight-game early window, our experts are monitoring all the late-breaking injury news to ensure you have the most up-to-date information. Will Joe Mixon suit up for the Bengals, or is Samaje Perine poised for another hefty workload? Is Kyler Murray truly ready to reclaim his spot under center for the Cardinals? The inactives reports hold the key, and our analysts are sifting through every detail.
Flex Spot Decisions
Among the toughest calls fantasy managers face each week is choosing the right player to plug into the flex position. Our experts are here to compare the merits of fringe options and guide you to the optimal play. A source close to the Seahawks suggests Ken Walker should see a robust volume despite his recent injury woes, making him an appealing flex candidate.
Ken Walker practiced in full all week and wasn’t even listed on the final injury report. I’m expecting him to handle 15+ touches against the Raiders, putting him firmly in RB2 territory with RB1 upside in that plus matchup.

Week 11 Sleepers
For those needing a Hail Mary play, our experts have a few deep sleepers on their radar who could post week-swinging numbers if things break right:
- Kadarius Toney, WR, Chiefs – With Mecole Hardman and JuJu Smith-Schuster banged up, the explosive rookie could finally get his chance to shine in KC’s high-powered attack.
- Jaylen Warren, RB, Steelers – The undrafted free agent has earned a near-even split with Najee Harris in recent weeks, and his pass-catching prowess gives him standalone flex value.
- Foster Moreau, TE, Raiders – With Darren Waller and Hunter Renfrow both out, Moreau should see ample volume as Derek Carr’s top target over the middle against Seattle.
Strategy & Trade Talk
In addition to helping with your crucial Week 11 decisions, our experts are also happy to discuss big-picture strategies as the fantasy playoffs draw near. A league insider told us he believes trading for elite QBs like Patrick Mahomes or Josh Allen can be a league-winning move for teams with quality depth at RB and WR.
If you have two top-15 RBs or three top-25 WRs, packaging one of them in a deal for Mahomes or Allen is absolutely a move I’d endorse. Having that elite QB production locked in every week is such an advantage in the fantasy playoffs.
