Good morning.

Hard to believe we’re already in Week 11. Feels like just yesterday I was convincing myself Calvin Ridley was about to return to WR1 form and Jaydon Blue would take over the Cowboys backfield (sorry about that one…).

But ready or not, fantasy football trade deadlines are coming—and this is where it gets real. As Danny Heifetz put it in the latest episode of The Ringer Fantasy Football Show, you need to decide if you’re a “November Team” or a “December Team.” In other words, are you desperately trying to make a playoff push? Or are you eyeing schedules for Weeks 15-17 to find league-winners?

Either way, we have some expert insight to help you make some moves. So let’s get after it…

MARKET TRENDS 🧐

Running Back

💰 Buy Jaylen Warren. He’s the unquestioned RB1 in Pittsburgh, but for those who aren’t watching every game, he hasn’t quite done enough in the box score to shake the committee back label he’s had for years. The good news is he’s due for some major positive TD regression, having scored just two rushing TDs all year despite consistent red-zone involvement. Plus, his schedule is the easiest among all RBs over the next four games (CIN, CHI, BUF, BAL), per FantasyPros’ Andrew Erickson—perfect for a “November” team.

📉 Sell D’Andre Swift. Kyle Monangai should be like an annoying little brother for Swift the rest of the way, plus his schedule ranks 26th toughest in Weeks 11-14 and 31st toughest in Weeks 15-17, making it the hardest remaining schedule in the league, per USA Today’s Joe Bond.

💰 Buy Chase Brown. After failing to reach 75 scrimmage yards in any of the first six games, Brown has topped 100 yards in three straight contests. He’s also seeing >90% of snaps with Samaje Perine out (read more on that from Ryan Heath), and from Week 13-16, he’ll face the Ravens, Bills, Ravens again and the Dolphins. Each of those defenses rank inside the top-10 for fantasy points allowed to RBs, per Yahoo’s Justin Boone.

📉 Sell high on TreVeyon Henderson. Call me a pessimist, but while some will see a breakout performance and an easy upcoming schedule, I see someone who got most of his production off two long runs and will probably fall back into a committee as soon as next week. Henderson averaged just 6.6 fantasy points PPG over the eight weeks when Rhamondre Stevenson was healthy, per SI’s Ryan Shea, so see if you can take advantage of the hype before it craters.

💰 Buy Quinshon Judkins. The rookie leads all RBs in share of team rush attempts (74%) since Week 3, per Joe Orrico, and has the best rest of season schedule for RBs according to FantasyPros. With 25+ opportunities in four of his last six games, Judkins will be a true workhorse down the stretch.

📉 Sell high on Breece Hall. He has 19+ PPR points in back-to-back games, but a 42-yard TD saved him last week and his playoff schedule is the 4th-hardest among all RBs, per Walter Picks.

💰 Buy Derrick Henry. We’ve been mentioning him for weeks, but now might be your last chance to pounce. His next five games include two matchups with a Bengals defense that wouldn’t be able to stop the 5’10” 180 lbs 30-year-old writing this, let alone a 6’2” 252 lbs 31-year-old built like a Mack truck. The Ravens will be favorites for most, if not all, of their remaining games this season, setting up plenty of positive game scripts for Henry to feast.
