At the beginning of the season, a four-team bye consisting of the Dolphins, Jaguars, Buccaneers, and Seahawks probably didn't seem that bad, but now that it's here, fantasy football owners are feeling the crunch. No fewer than a dozen "must-starts"

About the only offensive position that's spared from complete carnage is tight end. With ma sive holes to fill in pa sing attacks and running games, more than a few owners will have to resort to low-ceiling "safe" plays or complete boom-or-bust options. Knowing which type of player is best for you might come down to whether you're projected to win big or lose big.As always, RotoBaller factored in usage, matchups, and talent into its Week 11 rankings, and its reflected in its Who to Start? tool. Check out an example from each offensive position.Daniel Jones (vs. Lions) vs. Kyler Murray (vs. 49ers) vs. Kirk Cousins (vs. Cowboys) vs. Jimmy Garoppolo (vs. Cardinals
Rollie Fingers Jersey )Rotoballer has Murray ranked first among these signal-callers, but a hamstring injury could keep him out for a second-straight week. If he is out, RotoBaller likes Cousins the most, ranking him one spot ahead of Jones and two spots ahead of Garoppolo. Cousins has the toughest matchup of that group, but he also has a solid
Wil Myers Jersey supporting cast and is sure to air it out a lot. Jones has a solid floor but low ceiling, even against Detroit, and Garoppolo is another solid-floor, low-ceiling QB.MORE: and receive exclusive acce s to their lineup tools, rankings, and analysis..Tyler Allgeier (vs. Bears) vs. Elijah Mitchell (vs. Cardinals) vs. Latavius Murray (vs. Raiders) vs. Damien Harris (vs. Jets)All of these "handcuffs" have unpredictable usage, but 10-plus touches is always in the cards. RotoBaller ranks Murray one spot ahead of Mitchell, who might actually be the best bet for carries. Allgeier is four spots behind Mitchell, while Harris is another four spots behind Allgeier. Matchup-wise, Allgeier is in the best spot, but he's competing with Cordarrelle Patterson Caleb Huntley for touches. Harris might be nothing more than a goal-line back at this point, so he's especially tough to trust in PPR leagues. Murray and Mitchell will get their carries, but it's unclear if Mitchell will be as heavily used as last week if the 49ers are trailing. Murray is a "safe" bet in a favorable matchup, and he should get most of the goal-line carries for his team.SN's WEEK 11 PPR RANKINGS: | | | | | Chase Claypool (@ Falcons) vs. Wan'Dale Robinson (vs. Lions) vs. Parris Campbell (vs. Eagles) vs. Van Jefferson (@ Saints)Despite a highly favorable matchup, Claypool is a distant fourth on this list. Clearly, RotoBaller hasn't been impre sed by Claypool's role in the Bears' offense. Robinson also has a great matchup, but inconsistency has him five spots behind Campbell. Jefferson, who figures to see a bump in targets with Cooper Kupp (ankle) out, is two spots behind
Cory Spangenberg Jersey Robinson. All of these receivers could pop for a big play or score, but RotoBaller is playing it safe with Campbell ranked the highest. He's the best bet for targets now that Matt Ryan is back under center, so even in a tough matchup, he has a decent floor.SN's WEEK 11 STANDARD RANKINGS: | | | | | Tyler Conklin (@ Patriots) vs. Foster Moreau (@ Broncos) vs. Trey McBride (vs. 49ers) vs. Kyle Pitts (vs. Bears)Conklin has the best matchup, but he's still fourth on this list. It's a bit surprising that RotoBaller is so excited about McBride in his first start in a tough matchup, but they have him second among this group, behind only the disappointing Pitts. Pitts still has the most upside thanks to his frequent targets and superior athleticism, but you can make a case that Moreau has the highest floor in a decent matchup. Either way, most of these TEs are touchdown-or-bust, so you might as well flip a coin.MORE: and receive exclusive acce s to their premium lineup tools, DFS cheat sheets, and Team Sync platform! .Try out any combination of players including players at different positions for your
