75 best PPR running backs for fantasy football in Week 11

November 12, 2025

As Week 10 unfolds and Week 11 draws near, it’s worth noting that the Colts are taking a bye this week. This means MVP hopeful Jonathan Taylor won’t be on display, but there are still some exciting matchups to look forward to this Sunday. Speaking of Taylor, he had an impressive performance recently, racking up 244 rushing yards and scoring three touchdowns, including a game-winning one in overtime—his fifth this season. After such a heavy workload, with 32 carries—his highest this season—a bye week could definitely be beneficial for his recovery. Coming up, he has challenging games against the Chiefs and Texans, both of whom are well-rested after their own bye. If Taylor can shine in those games, he might solidify his MVP status.

Indianapolis Colts, New Orleans Saints

Jonathan Taylor, Alvin Kamara

Woody Marks, Titans Texans

Marks is set to take the lead role in Houston and will face a struggling Titans defense this week. He’s already proven himself in previous encounters with this team, with 119 yards and two touchdowns to his name.

On the injury front, Dobbins hurt his leg during a Thursday night game in Week 10. It appears that he has some time to heal, and early indications suggest it’s not a long-term issue. If he is unable to play, rookie RJ Harvey could become a more appealing option for fantasy players.

Meanwhile, Knight exited the game against the Seahawks in Week 10 due to an ankle injury. He didn’t return, and with Trey Benson also sidelined, Emari DeMercado might see increased action if Knight can’t go.

Rhamondre Stephenson, Patriots

Stephenson has missed the last couple of weeks with a toe injury, and it remains unclear if he’ll be good to go this week. He had a limited practice on Monday in preparation for a Thursday night game against the Jets. During his absence, Treveyon Henderson and Terrell Jennings split the workload, but Jennings picked up an injury in Week 10, leaving Henderson to take charge in a crucial game. It seems logical that Henderson would have a more significant role moving forward, though it’s tough to predict what will happen once Stephenson is back.

Benson, still recovering from a meniscus surgery he had in Week 4, was initially projected to return in four to six weeks, but it looks like he may miss additional time. Without him, the team remains unsteady, especially with Knight’s ankle injury complicating DeMercado’s already solid performances.

Omarion Hampton, Chargers

According to Chargers coach Jim Harbaugh, Hampton likely won’t be back until after the Week 12 bye, which puts Kimani Vidal in a leading position for now.

As for Irving, he’s been out for five games due to shoulder and ankle injuries, with no timeline for his return. Rashard White and Sean Tucker will continue to share the workload in his absence.

Pacheco suffered a knee injury during the late stages of the Week 8 game and was diagnosed with an MCL sprain, keeping him out of the Week 9 matchup against the Bills. However, with a forfeit occurring in Week 10, there’s a decent chance he’ll be back for the game against the Broncos.
