Week 11 Rankings
"You are what your record says you are"
We are already at Week 11 and entering the home stretch of the 2025 Fantasy Football season. You may ask, “What is the significance of the #11?” Well, I did some research:
11 symbolizes intuition and enlightenment.
11 is seen as balanced and harmonious.
The number 11 represents spiritual insight.
In astrology, 11 is linked to visionaries
So let’s recap. Intuition and Enlightenment? Balanced and Harmonious? Spiritual insight and linked to visionaries. They MUST be talking about your Fantasy Season!
By now, you should know what you have: strengths & weaknesses, surplus talent at a given position and injuries to deal with. Basically, “You are what your record says you are”. Now you have to decide how to move forward. Here is an assessment of each team’s playoff chances (note: I will be doing this instead of the usual rankings write-up):
1. Springfield Flanders (Last Week #1)
Flanders is already in the playoff and is the clear-cut favorite to win it all.
Strengths: Just a solid well-rounded team. Achane (RB3), Nacua (WR4) and Waddle (WR11) give them a solid floor of points each week. The QBs are dependable (Goff/Prescott) if not spectacular.
Weaknesses: The position that was a strength 2 weeks ago now looks like a weakness. TE4 Tucker Kraft went out with a season ending injury, thrusting the up and down Brock Bowers into the everyday lineup.
Ways to improve: Just roll with what you have here. There is enough talent to get through a long playoff run.
Playoff chances - 100%
2. Mel Kipers Best Available (Last Week #2)
The point total still isn’t among the elite, but the 7 wins looks like it will be good enough for the #2 seed. Kahn in 2nd place is not scaring anyone and Stick Rock can’t seem to put together consecutive wins.
Strengths: Even with the Jayden Daniels injury, the QBs are elite. Jahmyr Gibbs (RB4) has been great and TreVeyon Henderson might be living up to the preseason hype.
Weaknesses: The WRs were suppose to be good this year, but have not been healthy or consistent. Also, in the year where everyone has an elite TE, Pete is rolling with Hockenson or Kincaid every week.
Ways to improve: Maybe use some of the RB depth to improve the TE position.
Playoff chances - 60%
3. Dark Helmet (Last Week #3)
Helmet’s scorching stretch ended this week as they only managed to score 116 points. They are still in a strong position to capture one of the wild card spots, but the teams behind him made up significant ground this week.
Strengths: Three top -10 RBs in Barkley, Javonte Williams and James Cook with the TE1 Trey McBride and a career resurgent year from Davante Adams (WR7).
Weaknesses: Flex.
Ways to Improve: This roster looks good to go. Hopefully Rashee Rice or Ricky Pearsall can rebound from injury/suspension and do damage in the playoffs
Playoff chances - 60%
4. Stick Rock (Last Week #4)
Stick Rock has pushed all his chips in the middle and has gone all-in with the Malik Nabers trade. Hopefully the Flacco/Burrow, KWIII and George Pickens additions can help them out of their month-long slump.
Strengths: All-World RB Jonathan Taylor (RB1) is carrying this team at the moment. The WRs look strong after the trade as Pickens-Egbuka-Wilson provide a formidable trio. Any trade that puts the inconsistent Jordan Love on the bench has to be a positive.
Weaknesses: Maybe a more reliable RB2 behind Taylor.
Ways to Improve: Use your newly acquired RB (KWIII) and one of your WRs (Wilson) to get an upgrade at the RB2 spot.
Playoff Chances - 60%
5. Skoal Bandits (Last Week #5)
Bandits won the battle but lost the war this week. They did come away with their 4th win of the season, but only scored 132 points in the process. Wins and losses do not matter, high scoring does.
Strengths: The RBs are amazing with CMC (RB2) and Bijan (RB5) leading the way. QB Drake Maye (QB1) might have been the steal of the draft.
Weaknesses: The WRs are inconsistent and the TE’s are not very good.
Ways to Improve: Sit tight and ride with what you have. Any trade to address a weakness will create a problem somewhere else. There should be enough talent here to make a legitimate run to the playoffs.
Playoff Chances - 40%
6. Milford Football Team (Last Week #7)
Like father, like son. Just when it looked like they might go on a roll, CJ came up with this giant turd with their 119-point showing in Week 10.
Strengths: The QBs are great with Josh Allen (QB5) and Daniel Jones (QB6) providing plenty of scoring each week. The RBs are solid with Ashton Jeanty (RB13) and Josh Jacobs (RB6).
Weaknesses: Unfortunately, the WR play has been abysmal. AJ Brown is the 40th ranked WR this year and Tee Higgins has his ceiling capped playing alongside Jamarr Chase each week.
Ways to Improve: Give your cousin Rocky a call and see if he can trade a WR for one of your RBs.
Playoff Chances (35%)
7. Ghostbusters (Last Week #6)
Ghostbusters have put up the White Flag on this disappointing season. The team could never get started and the 2 Keeper QBs played a combined 6 games this year.
Strengths: Has the vision to understand this is not their year and made a trade that will give them a trio of Receivers Nabers/Chase/St Brown to start next year’s draft.
Weaknesses: Gives other team managers too much credit when preparing for the draft.
Ways to Improve: Use Dan’s auto-draft strategy for the 2026 season.
Playoff Chances (10%)
8. John’s Scary Team (Last Week #8)
Look who put up a bunch of points again this week! JST is barely hanging on around the outskirts of contention with his 154 point outburst in Week 10.
Strengths: QBs - This team has three top 8 player at he position. Unfortunately you can only play two. JSN (WR1) has also had that breakout season everyone has been waiting for.
Weaknesses: RB and WR depth.
Ways to Improve: Trade one of the QBs for some WR and RB help for the stretch run. You can still make the playoffs, Be Bold!
Playoff Chances 15%
9. Peeping Tomlin’s (Last Week #9)
One step up and two steps back. Jared was unable to build on his week 9 momentum and manages to score just 128. points this week, all but ending his faint playoff hopes.
Strengths: There is just a lot of okay talent throughout the roster, but no stud to depend on every week. The QB situation in Minnesota has killed any elite value Justin Jefferson had. Quinshon Judkins and Caleb Williams have had nice seasons, but I am not sure if it rises to the level where you can keep them for next year.
Weaknesses: As mentioned above, this is a solid team with no game-breakers to give them consistent scoring each week..
Ways to Improve: Package up 2 or 3 of the young guys that can help a contender now for a legitimate keeper for next year. Would Craig take Judkins, Odunze and Caleb Willimas for CMC and McConkey?
Playoff Chances - 5%
10. Wrath of Khan (Last Week #10)
Man, Jim keeps winning and I am not sure it’s for his own good. Kahn has been last in points since the 3rd week of the season, but scheduling luck has them a game out of the #2 seed. Even if they make the playoffs, how far could they expect to go in our 2-week per matchup format? All year long, it was expected that Jim would be out of it and make the trade for Nabers. Now a playoff spot is the only thing left to dream for.
Strengths: Drake London (WR6) and Rico Dowdle (RB9) have been awesome this year.
Weaknesses: Top-tier talent. Outside of London, I don’t see anyone worth keeping on this roster.
Ways to Improve: If you fall 2 games behind MKBA, scramble to aggregate a few players into someone that can help you next year.
