Fantasy Football: Key utilization stats to know from Week 11

Recapping the most important fantasy football player utilization data from Week 11 play.

Man, where has the time gone? It’s hard to believe that 11 weeks of the NFL regular season are in the rearview mirror, and we’re barreling toward the fantasy football playoffs.

We continue to see changes each week, as a guy is useful one week, and then the next week he is gone as quickly as he emerged. We’re also witnessing some veterans dying a slow career death, and it’s rather sad.

Heading into Week 12, we have six teams on a bye, too, making this perhaps the most important and competitive waiver-wire week. The Atlanta Falcons, Buffalo Bills, Cincinnati Bengals, Jacksonville Jaguars, New Orleans Saints and New York Jets will be off. Let’s review some key utilization statistics from the previous weekend to examine the fantasy landscape and consider how the developments of Week 11 might shape the future.

Fantasy Football: Top utilization stats to know from Week 11

Recapping the most important fantasy football player utilization data from Week 11 play.

Entering Monday Night Football, Week 11 brought us a mixed bag of fantasy football performances and utilization data to analyze. Unfortunately, two prominent injuries took center stage and will have lasting ripple effects to be felt the rest of the way, namely the season-ending losses of Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow and Baltimore Ravens TE Mark Andrews.

Other question marks have arisen with injuries to Los Angeles Rams wideout Cooper Kupp, Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones, and Seattle Seahawks rusher Kenneth Walker III. All three of those guys could return or miss games, and the latter scenario will create opportunities for increased utilization down the line.

As we enter the home stretch of the fantasy season, most pecking orders have stabilized, although we’ll see a handful of transitions toward the youth movement as teams fall out of the playoff race. That means fewer notable situations arise, and some of the inclusions will be a rehashing of developing roles.
