Quarterbacks produced some juicy stat lines in Week 11. There were eight quarterbacks who threw for at least 290 yards, including four who threw for at least 350 yards. There were also six quarterbacks who had at least three touchdown passes, which included three quarterbacks who had four touchdown passes each.

Week 12 will be difficult with six teams on a bye. They include the Bills and Bengals, so fantasy managers who have Josh Allen or Joe Burrow might need to hit the waiver wire for a streaming replacement.

For streaming purposes, 4for4’s Schedule-Adjusted Fantasy Points Allowed (aFPA) is a metric we rely heavily on to determine weekly matchup strength. As the season progresses and more data is available, aFPA becomes more and more reliable, using rolling 10-week data. Targets and efficiency metrics are also considered when choosing weekly streamers.

To provide advice you can implement, candidates for streaming must be rostered in no more than 40% of Yahoo! fantasy leagues.

Week 11 Recap

We had two big hits in Week 11 with Bo Nix finishing as QB3 and Jameis Winston finishing as QB6. Nix dominated the Falcons, throwing for 307 yards and four touchdowns. He is now rostered in 48% of Yahoo leagues, so he is no longer eligible for this column. The Browns lost to the Saints, but Winston still produced a juicy stat line with 395 passing yards and two touchdowns.

The one flop of Week 11 was Russell Wilson, who couldn’t get anything going against a Ravens defense that has struggled to defend the pass all season. He finished with 205 passing yards, no touchdowns, and one interception. It marked his first game since being named the starting quarterback of the Steelers that he failed to record a touchdown pass.

Top Quarterback Streaming Picks

Drake Maye (Patriots) at Dolphins

It’s slim pickings in terms of appealing streaming options this week with so many teams being on a bye. Nix is available in 48% of Yahoo leagues and is facing a porous Raiders defense, so he’s a great streaming option for fantasy managers who can still add him. The same can be said of Anthony Richardson, who will face the Lions and is rostered is 47% of Yahoo leagues. Richardson threw for 272 yards and a touchdown against the Jets last week and comes with plenty of rushing upside.

Since we’re only discussing players who aren’t rostered in more than 40% of leagues, Maye is one of the more appealing quarterbacks to stream. He doesn’t have a great matchup against the Dolphins, who rank fifth in aFPA to quarterbacks. However, Maye has recorded at least two touchdown passes in three of six games since being named the starter for the Patriots. He has also rushed for at least 24 yards in five of six starts.
