Our 11th NFL Sunday is now behind us, and all we have left is Monday Night Football. It was a crazy week of fantasy football, and we may have missed some key bits of information. Before we look ahead, we need to take a look back. This is the Week 11 fantasy football week in review.

Washington Commanders vs Miami Dolphins

- Chris Rodriguez served as the clear RB1 for the Washington Commanders. He carried the ball 15 times for 79 yards, while Jacory Croskey-Merritt rushed just nine times for 28 yards. 

- De'Von Achane had another huge game in Madrid, but did hobble off the field injured near the end of this game. That is something to monitor throughout the week. 

Carolina Panthers @ Atlanta Falcons

- Rookie Tetairoa McMillan had a massive game, catching eight passes for 130 yards and two touchdowns.
