Fantasy football advice, Week 11: Who to start/sit for Broncos vs. Rams

One great team against one bad one. This should go well.

Kyle Terada-USA TODAY Sports

The Denver Broncos come into Week 11 as one of the NFL's best teams. The St. Louis Rams are on the opposite end of that spectrum, and now they're replacing their quarterback with a retread just to do something different. You never know how a game is going to go, but -- you kinda do, right?

The Broncos will be without running back Ronnie Hillman Sunday, though positionmate Montee Ball is expected to return from his own injury. The Rams, meanwhile, enter Sunday basically healthy from a fantasy perspective.

The Rams will host Sunday’s game at 1 p.m. ET. Let’s take a look at the fantasy considerations, which, yeah, lie mostly with Denver:

BRONCOS

Start 'em: It gets difficult to find a new way to say, every week, that you are definitely starting Peyton Manning, Demaryius Thomas, Emmanuel Sanders and Julius Thomas, but you are definitely starting Peyton Manning, Demaryius Thomas, Emmanuel Sanders and Julius Thomas. ... Against a new quarterback, the already-decent Broncos' offense becomes a must-start.

Start 'em?: The running-back situation in Denver is a big conundrum right now. It looks like C.J. Anderson will get the first look Sunday, with Montee Ball there to spell him and/or if Anderson isn't the hot hand to start. Because of the question marks, neither is much more than a questionable flex play.

Sit 'em: With Anderson and Ball both likely to get touches, Juwan Thompson is likely the odd man out in the running game. ... Wes Welker just hasn't done anything warranting a starting slot this year. ... Even on a great offense, Brandon McManus hasn't produced any real fantasy points. Find a better kicker.

RAMS

Start 'em?: If it's a desperate situation, it looks like Tre Mason will be the top running back in the St. Louis offense. They could go away from him at any moment, which makes it dicey. ... There is probably a better tight end for you to use than Jared Cook, but he's the team's best pass catcher, and the Broncos do tend to struggle against tight ends.

Sit 'em: He's taking over at quarterback, but Shaun Hill is miles and miles from fantasy relevance. ... Benny Cunningham and Zac Stacy have fallen off the fantasy radar. ... Kenny Britt is the only St. Louis receiver anywhere near the fantasy radar, but you can't genuinely use him. ... Greg Zuerlein hasn't reached double-digit fantasy points since Week 2; find a better kicker. ... The Rams' defense against the Broncos. Nope.

SUMMARY

Start in every league: Peyton Manning, Demaryius Thomas, Emmanuel Sanders, Julius Thomas, Denver defense

Start if you’re desperate: C.J. Anderson, Montee Ball, Tre Mason, Jared Cook

Bench: Juwan Thompson, Wes Welker, Brandon McManus, Shaun Hill, Benny Cunningham, Zac Stacy, Kenny Britt, Greg Zuerlein, St. Louis defense
