Fantasy: Week 11 positional rankings

Carlos Vela - LAFC - Fantasy

A big double-game week is upon us in Week 11, giving us the opportunity to load up on players who play twice and earn double the points.


Goalkeepers


Columbus Crew SC 'keeper Zack Steffen notched his third clean sheet of the season at Seattle in Week 10 and he has a good shot at adding another with two home games in Week 11. LAFC's Tyler Miller also has a pair of home games and considering heā€™s playing in the late game on Wednesday, it would be wise to put Steffen on your bench and pivot to Miller as a keeperoo option if Steffen doesnā€™t work out.

Midfielders


Atlanta United's Miguel Almiron has hit double-digit points in five straight games and his 102 fantasy points are far and away the most points of any player in the game. While some of the high profile names are enticing with two games on deck, donā€™t overlook the bonus point producers that can supply serviceable scores over the course of two games.
