Best fantasy RB pickups this week: Week 11 waiver wire

Which RB injuries are affecting Week 11 fantasy rankings?​

The Denver Broncos' J.K. Dobbins (foot) is done for the season, which means rookie RJ Harvey becomes lead back, and complementary work opens up for Tyler Badie and likely Jaleel McLaughlin.

Rhamondre Stevenson remains out for the Patriots, boosting TreVeyon Henderson into top-10 fantasy RB territory against the Jets on Thursday Night Football.

Who are the best Week 11 fantasy running backs?​

The typical workhorse backs sit near the top of the rankings again, with (pending Monday Night Football) Josh Jacobs leading the way as the Packers take on the Giants, who've been a top-five fantasy doormat for running backs most of the season.

Rico Dowdle has again seized control of the Panthers backfield even with Chuba Hubbard healthy; he remains positioned among the top 10 must-start RBs against the Falcons, the latest Jonathan Taylor victims.

Jaylen Warren, fresh off his primetime hurdle in the Steelers' otherwise lackluster SNF loss, shoots into top-end RB2/low-end RB1 territory against the leaky Bengals defense.

Which RB fantasy sleepers should I start in Week 11?​

Go back to the well on Jacory Croskey-Merritt. "Bill" failed to get going in a poor game flow against the Lions, but the Commanders should control the pace a bit better against the weak Dolphins run defense in Spain early Sunday morning ET. Chris Rodriguez's shoulder injury could also open up more work for JCM.

A similar upgrade goes to the Lions' David Montgomery, who conversely benefitted from his own team's domination over Washington with a busier workload than usual in Week 10. On the bright side, the Eagles have wilted against strong run games, and if Dan Campbell decides to rely on the ground game to keep Philly's offense off the field, Montgomery should churn out a useful fantasy day again.

Coming off the Texans' come-from-behind Week 10 game flow that favored Woody Marks and the passing game, Nick Chubb should see a chunkier snap count in what should be a controllable circumstance against the Titans, who rank in the middle of the league's run defenses.

Who are the biggest RB bust candidates for fantasy Week 11?​

The Seahawks faced a middling Cardinals rushing attack in Week 10 and will, admittedly, face a stronger one in the Rams' Week 11 personnel of Kyren Williams and Blake Corum. However, expect the Rams to attack more frequently through the air, and given the volume concerns budding for Williams alongside Corum, this could be a useful yet not elite week.

Be careful with RJ Harvey this week, even now that he's lead back in Dobbins' absence. The Chiefs' run defense remains one of the league's best, and despite the Broncos' top-notch offensive line, don't overrate how much Harvey will help your fantasy team beyond RB2 territory. (That's, of course, still valuable if you're missing Jonathan Taylor and/or Alvin Kamara on bye this week.)
