When reflecting on the thrilling events of Week 10 in the NFL, one game stands out above the rest: Thursday Night Football. The clash between the Bengals and Ravens started off a bit sluggish but quickly transformed into an electrifying showdown. Both quarterbacks, Lamar Jackson and Joe Burrow, delivered jaw-dropping performances that left fans buzzing.
Burrow was nothing short of spectacular, completing 34 of 56 passes for a staggering 428 yards and four touchdowns, three of which found the hands of his favorite target, Ja’Marr Chase. Meanwhile, Jackson was equally impressive, going 25-for-33 for 290 yards and four touchdowns, along with a successful 2-point conversion. He also added 33 rushing yards to his impressive stat line. What a night for both signal-callers!

Who are the best fantasy QBs for Week 11?
Lamar Jackson is undeniably the star of the show right now. The reigning MVP is playing at an even higher level than last season. Sure, Patrick Mahomes is undefeated, but Jackson’s connection with Zay Flowers and the resurgence of Mark Andrews make him a must-start against the Steelers. Expect a statement performance!
Jalen Hurts remains a staple in the top rankings. Even when he’s not lighting up the scoreboard through the air, his rushing ability and knack for "Tush Push" touchdowns keep him relevant. Washington’s defense has improved, but they just allowed 28 points to the Steelers, so Hurts should still find success.
Brock Purdy is the surprise of the week, entering the top three for the first time this season. He dazzled against the Bucs, going 25-for-36 for 353 yards and two touchdowns. With Seattle’s defense struggling, Purdy could put up big numbers in their upcoming NFC West clash.
Who are the QBs on byes in Week 11?
Arizona Cardinals: Kyler Murray is on a bye, leaving managers scrambling for a replacement. While he has had his ups and downs this season, he’s coming off a solid performance against the Jets. Let’s hope he returns from the bye with improved chemistry with Marvin Harrison Jr.
Carolina Panthers: Bryce Young heads into the bye after winning two straight games. While those victories came against struggling teams, it’s a positive sign for the rookie. He could also welcome back Adam Thielen after the bye.
New York Giants: Daniel Jones is in a precarious position. He’s doing just enough to keep his job but not enough to steer the Giants in the right direction. Perhaps the bye will help him connect better with Malik Nabers.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Baker Mayfield has defied expectations despite losing key weapons. With an extra week to rest, there’s hope that Mike Evans can return for Week 12.
Who are the best fantasy QB waiver pickups for Week 11?
After a dismal performance last week, the Saints bounced back impressively against the Falcons. Derek Carr has limited weapons, but he’s developed a connection with Marquez Valdes-Scantling, who had a breakout game with 109 yards and two touchdowns. Carr is only rostered in 12% of Yahoo! leagues, making him a solid pickup for those facing bye week issues.
Bo Nix may not have gone off in Week 10, but he still managed respectable numbers against a tough Kansas City defense. With a 22-for-30 performance for 215 yards and two touchdowns, he’s worth considering, especially against weaker opponents. He’s currently rostered in just 33% of Yahoo! leagues.
What are the biggest QB injuries in Week 11?
Trevor Lawrence is dealing with a non-throwing shoulder injury and missed Week 10. Reports suggest he may need surgery, which could sideline him for the season. Mac Jones is set to take over in the meantime.
In other news, Anthony Richardson is back under center for the Colts. After a rocky start to the season, Richardson showed flashes of brilliance before being benched. If he can minimize turnovers, he could quickly rise in the rankings.
As we head into Week 11, the quarterback landscape is as dynamic as ever. With exciting matchups, key injuries, and emerging stars, fantasy managers have plenty to consider. Stay tuned for updates and make those lineup decisions wisely!
