2025 Fantasy Football Trends for Week 11

My 2025 Fantasy Football Trends for Week 11 article has arrived just in time to help you in your matchups this week and in the future!

We’re only a matter of weeks away from the fantasy playoffs, and each matchup is getting progressively more important to make sure we get there. With that in mind, here are five trends to keep an eye on this weekend.

Woody Marks’ 80% snap share

We’ve hit the second half of the season, a time when rookies typically see an uptick in both usage and production. Marks hit his second-highest fantasy score of the season with 16.1 PPR points. The rookie had 14 rushing attempts compared to Chubb’s five, turning that into 63 yards and a touchdown, with an additional 18 yards through the air on two receptions (three targets). Marks also hit his highest snap share of the year so far at 80%. The main caveat here is that last week’s game was utterly bizarre.

However, this is precisely the kind of profile we should be buying into at this time of the season – a rookie, behind an ageing vet, who’s already shown flashes of his ability. Marks has now seen double-digit touches in four successive games since the bye, and it wouldn’t be a surprise to see another uptick in the coming couple of weeks.

Troy Franklin has had 9 targets per game since Week 7.

We may be in the middle of a Troy Franklin breakout. The second-year receiver has now led the Broncos in targets in each of the last three weeks, and was the joint-leader with Courtland Sutton the week prior. Over the previous four weeks, Franklin has seen 36 targets, third-most in the league over that period behind only Ja’Marr Chase and Justin Jefferson.

This uptick in usage is resulting in fantasy production, with three top-36 finishes, including one as WR1, over this time frame. Even in last week’s low-scoring affair against the Raiders, Franklin was able to provide 15 PPR points with five receptions for 40 yards and a touchdown. Although Nix has had an up-and-down season so far, the connection with fellow Oregon alumnus Franklin is clear.

Aaron Jones Sr.’s 69% running back rush share.

Upon returning from injury, Aaron Jones appears to have re-taken his spot as the team’s RB1. The veteran enjoyed his best game of the season so far with nine rushes for 47 yards and a touchdown, with a further 22 yards on three catches (six targets). Jones Sr. outrushed Mason, who saw four rushing attempts, representing a 69% running back rush share. Jones Sr. played on a season-high 71% of snaps and saw a healthy six targets, his highest mark of the year, equating to a 14.6% target share.

JJ McCarthy’s inconsistencies may actually benefit Jones Sr., leaning on the veteran both on the ground and through the air. After two top-24 performances in the last two weeks, and an apparent increase in usage, he’s someone we can have a little more confidence in going forward, with some juicy matchups against the Commanders, Giants, and Cowboys on the horizon.

Jameson Williams’ 35.5 PPR points since over the last two weeks.

It has been a rollercoaster ride for Jameson Williams’ fantasy managers over the first half of the season, with five single-digit PPR performances before the Lions bye week. This included a zero-point outing in Week 7. Since the bye week, however, things are looking up. In the last two weeks, Williams has seen 13 targets, resulting in ten catches for 185 yards and two touchdowns.

With head coach Dan Campbell re-taking play-calling duties, it appears that there is a greater emphasis on ensuring former first-round selection Williams sees more touches. Campbell spoke highly of the receiver, saying they “got him going” after just not connecting. This follows the offensive coordinator stating he’d “failed” Williams. A player with Williams’ big-play abilities is always going to carry a level of risk in fantasy. Still, given the offense he is a part of, he remains a high upside option worth taking against the Eagles.

Joe Flacco’s three successive Top-12 performances.

Since joining the Bengals in week 6, Flacco has led the league in yards per game. The veteran has thrown for over 300 yards per game, resulting in 11 touchdowns and just two interceptions over that stretch. The weapons at hand, combined with a poor defense, provide ample opportunities for Flacco to produce. In the last four games, Flacco has thrown an average of 43 times per game.

The question now is, how long will he remain a starter? Joe Burrow’s return window is now open, and the team is reportedly targeting Thanksgiving. The decision may well rest on the Bengals’ playoff chances. However, for as long as Flacco is the starter in Cincinnati, we should feel some confidence around his fantasy production – particularly this coming weekend against a Steelers team that has allowed the second-most passing yards this season.
