Several teams have questions and are in a state of flux at the QB position. The Dallas Cowboys lost QB Dak Prescott for the season so Cooper Rush got the start against the Philadelphia Eagles and passed for only 45 yards. The Cowboys did run a few plays with QB Trey Lance but he did not fare any better. The Cowboys have stated that Cooper Rush will start this week against the Houston Texans; however, it would not be a surprise if he gets benched for Trey Lance who has upside running the ball. The Cowboys season is lost, and they need to determine what value Lance has. This situation adversely affects the only fantasy worthy players: CeeDee Lamb and Brandon Aubrey.
The Indianapolis Colts benched second-year QB Anthony Richardson in favor of veteran Joe Flacco because they stated that he gives them the best chance to win. In the two games since then, Flacco is averaging 225.5 yards passing per game and has thrown 2 TDs and 4 interceptions. The Colts lost both of those games against solid defenses. There are now rumblings that the Colts need to go back to Richardson.
The Chicago Bears offense is a complete mess and this week they fired their offensive coordinator. Thomas Brown, formerly an assistant coach under Sean McVay with the Los Angeles Rams, has been named the interim offensive coordinator. The question has been raised whether it is best for rookie QB Caleb Williams to continue starting or if he is best served learning from the sidelines.
It is a foregone conclusion that this is the last season Daniel Jones will be the QB of the New York Giants. There continues to be calls for him to be benched due to his inconsistent play. Currently, the Giants will have the first pick in the NFL draft and will have their choice of a new franchise QB.
As a fantasy team owner/manager you need to continue monitoring the QB situation on these teams as it directly impacts the skilled players on your roster.
The Denver Broncos are making a change are RB. Starting RB Javonte Williams has been ineffective and disappointing this season. The Broncos have stated that they want to get more playing time for rookie RB Audric Estime, a bruising back at 227 lbs. out of Notre Dame. In week 10, he received 14 out of 17 carries by Broncos RBs. He is worth a waiver wire pickup. I am starting him in one of my leagues due to limited options because of byes.
WR Nico Collins of the Houston Texans is back this week, which is great news for his owners. RB Isiah Pacheco of the Kansas City Chiefs is no longer on the injured list and is available to practice. The Chiefs have 21 days to activate him. With RB Kareem Hunt performing well in his absence, what does it mean when Pacheco returns?

Week 11 Selections Versus the Point Spread
This is a battle for first place. Both offenses are humming. The Commanders are coming off a tough loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers while the Eagles destroyed the Dallas Cowboys. The key is whether the Commanders can contain RB Saquan Barkley. It is close but I will take the home team giving the points.
QB Joe Burrow is hot, and the Bengals offense can score against anyone. This will be a major challenge against the Chargers who have not given up more than 20 points in any game this season. I will take the hot QB with the points.
The Texans lost a tough game to the Detroit Lions last week, but their defense played well in the first half. The Cowboys are a mess in offense and defense and are now without QB Dak Prescott. The Cowboys are particularly vulnerable against the run and RB Joe Mixon is having a career season. It is a lot of points to give but take the Texans.
