Let’s look at the entire Week 11 schedule, which includes a matchup between the Seahawks and Rams, the Jets playing the Bills, and the surging Raiders visiting the Dolphins. The Eagles and Chiefs game on ESPN’s “Monday Night Football” will be the culmination of it all. (Unless otherwise specified, game times are on Sundays.)
Audacious forecast: Every squad will sprint for more than 200 yards. A week ago, the Steelers’ ground game experienced its first 200-yard game of the season thanks to a well-balanced attack featuring Jaylen Warren and Najee Harris. In the meantime, following Deshaun Watson’s season-ending shoulder injury, the Browns, who already boast the second-best rushing offence in the NFL, will be even more dependent on their backs. The return of Cameron Heyward has improved the Steelers’ ground defence, but the loss of two important inside linebackers in back-to-back games—Cole Holcomb (knee) and Kwon Alexander (torn Achilles—is expected to be detrimental to that unit. — Pryor BrookeMatchup X factor: Warren, Harris and the Steelers’ ground game. It’s Pittsburgh’s only hope to score points (on offense) against a Browns defense that ranks first in expected points added per dropback allowed. Quarterback Kenny Pickett isn’t going to beat that unit. — Walder
What to know for fantasy: The Browns’ defense boasts the lowest total yards allowed per game to opponents. Also, Cleveland excels at limiting fantasy point production for quarterbacks, running backs and wide receivers. With how poorly Pickett has been playing this season, it would be wise to avoid starting Steelers players such as Diontae Johnson or George Pickens this week. See Week 11 rankings. — Moody
