McCaffrey and Jacobs have the potential to provide juicy stat lines in Week 11. However, there are also some players who could be in line for muted performances.
One of them is Ward, who will be facing one of the stoutest pass defenses in the league in the Texans. Brown could also find himself with limited rushing attempts again when the Bengals face the Steelers in what might be a high-scoring, pass-happy game.
