Every weekend during the NFL season, fantasy football players must stay on top of the latest news. This especially matters on Sundays, when the league releases the injury and inactive reports for every game.
Below, you'll find Week 11 start-sit lineup recommendations to help you make early decisions on who to start in your fantasy league, especially to replace the bye players on the Indianapolis Colts (we miss you already, Jonathan Taylor, Tyler Warren, Michael Pittman, Alec Pierce -- and Daniel Jones?) and New Orleans Saints (including Chris Olave and Alvin Kamara).
Sunday's games start with the final international showcase of the 2025 season, when the Miami Dolphins and Washington Commanders take their ... erratic brand of football to the historic Bernabeu soccer stadium in Madrid, Spain.
This 9:30 a.m. ET kickoff serves as a reminder to set your lineups with Dolphins and Commanders (not too many across those teams, though) Saturday night or Sunday morning; then you can set your starters for every other game after that.
Keep tabs on our running, live tracker of the latest fantasy news you need to know each Sunday morning, looking toward 1 p.m. ET NFL game window kickoffs, with monitoring of 4 p.m. kickoff needs, as well.
Scroll down for our latest news updates and start, sit strategy tips to help you set your Week 11 fantasy lineups.
