Pacheco, Edwards among fantasy football running backs to avoid in Week 11

Christian McCaffrey, Jahmyr Gibbs, Austin Ekeler, Saquon Barkley and Josh Jacobs lead my High 30 rankings, that are listed beneath. Aaron Jones, Travis Etienne, Breece Corridor, James Conner and Derrick Henry spherical out my High 10 performs.

All of my operating backs to keep away from rank exterior the High 12 of my rankings. It is best to solely bench my gamers to keep away from for those who do not roster a higher-ranked possibility.

Gamers from the Atlanta Falcons, Indianapolis Colts, New England Patriots and New Orleans Saints ought to both ought to be benched or dropped, as these groups have Week 11 byes.

D’Andre Swift

Swift was among the many elite fantasy soccer operating backs earlier this season, however is exterior the High 25 by way of factors per sport during the last 4 weeks. The Philadelphia Eagles operating again hasn’t eclipsed 70 dashing yards since Week 3. He scored simply twice since Week 4.

This week the Eagles will journey for a sport in opposition to the Kansas Metropolis Chiefs in a rematch of the Tremendous Bowl. The Chiefs tied for permitting the fifth-fewest dashing touchdowns per sport up to now this season. In addition they didn’t enable greater than 85 dashing yards or 100 yards from scrimmage to any operating again by way of the primary 10 weeks of the season.

I count on the Eagles to once more use quarterback Jalen Hurts as their prime goa-line runner and blend in different operating backs with Swift, whereas making an attempt plenty of passes. Swift, my No. 17 possibility, can be utilized as a low finish RB2, however doubtless wants a landing to offer nice worth on your fantasy staff.

Isiah Pacheco

Pacheco, my No. 24 play, will probably be on the opposite finish of the Chiefs-Eagles matchup. The Chiefs operating again eclipsed 70 dashing yards simply as soon as up to now this season and hasn’t been very productive as a receiver as of late.

This week, he’ll face one of the best dashing protection within the NFL. The Eagles didn’t enable greater than 59 dashing yards to a operating again by way of the primary 10 weeks of the season. I do not count on Pacheco to be very profitable in opposition to this robust unit. He ought to solely be used as a low-end RB2.

Rachaad White

White was top-of-the-line operating backs in fantasy soccer during the last 4 weeks, however might battle in Week 11 when his Tampa Bay Buccaneers journey for a sport in opposition to the San Francisco 49ers.

The Buccaneers operating again averaged greater than 100 yards from scrimmage over his final 4 video games. He additionally scored 3 times throughout that span.

He ought to discover it harder to offer that kind of manufacturing in opposition to the 49ers, who allowed the third-fewest dashing yards and eighth-fewest fantasy factors per sport to operating backs by way of 10 weeks. I additionally count on the 49ers to leap out to a big lead on this matchup, limiting White’s workload.

He’s my No. 25 play and may solely be counted on for low-end RB2/flex manufacturing.

Gus Edwards

Edwards is my No. 30 possibility his week as he heads right into a divisional matchup in opposition to the Cincinnati Bengals. The Baltimore Ravens operating again is difficult to bench, after scoring seven instances on the bottom over his final 4 video games, however hasn’t been as explosive as he was in earlier years.

I additionally count on the Ravens to combine in Justice Hill and rising rookie Keaton Mitchell on this matchup. Edwards dependency on scoring for fantasy soccer relevance, paired with the rise of the far more electrical Mitchell might result in a disappointing displaying for the veteran.

The Bengals surrendered 150 dashing yards to Devin Singletary final week, however I count on them to earn a lead early on on this matchup, main the Ravens away from the run. The Bengals additionally ought to use that momentum to win the time of possession battle, which might restrict Edwards’ touches.

I’d avoid the Ravens starter in case you have an possibility listed greater in my rankings.
