Week 11 of the 2024 fantasy football season has officially arrived and managers must now begin working on their starting lineups. It's always important to analyze the recent performances and weekly matchups of all available options to determine which ones are the best picks. Here are some of the best targets and fades this week.

Fantasy Football Week 11 Start ' Em picks

Kareem Hunt has been an elite fantasy football running back since taking over the starting role for the Kansas City Chiefs. In just five games, he has scored five touchdowns and finished as the RB22 or better in all five of them. He also set season-highs with seven receptions on 10 targets for 65 receiving yards, making him an excellent pick in Week 11 against the Buffalo Bills.

Justin Herbert got off to a slow start to the 2024 fantasy football season, finishing outside of the top 20 weekly quarterbacks in each of his first five games. He has turned things around since then, finishing as the QB12 or better in each of his last three games. He is a solid QB to use in Week 10 lineups in a potential shootout between the LA Chargers and Cincinnati Bengals.

Fantasy Football Week 10 Sit 'Em picks

Using Sportskeeda's Who Should I Start tool is one of the best ways for managers to optimize their weekly lineups. It gives fantasy projections and lineup suggestions to help managers make better decisions and have consistent success.

Diontae Johnson is one of the most notable fades in Week 11 fantasy football. He previously finished among the top 12 weekly wide receivers in three of four games but has severely regressed since joining the Baltimore Ravens. He has just two receptions for 23 yards in his last three games, making him a fade in Week 11 against his former team, the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Jake Ferguson should also be faded this week after the Dallas Cowboys turned their offense over to Cooper Rush. In his first game without Dak Prescott, the tight end turned in a season-worst TE32 finish. The Cowboys also scored just six points, so Ferguson should be avoided against the Houston Texans this week.
