The official NFL schedule lists the Atlanta Falcons, Cleveland Browns, Green Bay Packers, Los Angeles Rams, New England Patriots and Seattle Seahawks as the six teams on bye. Fantasy managers should check their rosters early because players from those teams will not contribute a Week 11 game to standard scoring lineups.

Kickoff times and broadcast assignments can change, so confirm the schedule with the NFL or the broadcaster before making travel plans. Local television availability may differ by market, and streaming access can depend on the service and subscription. Fantasy players should also monitor injury reports and inactive lists as game day approaches.

Week 11 is also a useful point in the season to look beyond a team’s record. Divisional matchups, tiebreakers, injuries and the remaining schedule can all influence the playoff picture. A single result does not settle a season, but late-November games can begin to separate teams still chasing a postseason place from those running out of room.

The bottom line
