The San Francisco 49ers will visit the Arizona Cardinals in Week 11. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, specifically regarding QB Mac Jones.
Is Mac Jones Playing in Week 11?
Jones is not on the injury report, and barring a surprise, he is expected to play.
We’ll continue to monitor the 49ers’ injury report leading up to kickoff for any changes. You can also visit and bookmark our Fantasy News Tracker for the latest updates.
Should You Start or Sit Jones in Week 11?
Jones is pulling the Kyle Shanahan levers at a high level, and that gives him a real chance to be the top streaming option on the board this week.
Since Week 7, the Cardinals have allowed the eighth most yards per pass. They are a matchup I’m happy to target, and if Jacoby Brissett is pushing tempo on the other side, even better!
Jones has multiple TD tosses in three straight and is 52-of-63 throwing the ball over the past two weeks. That looks more like a free-throw percentage than a completion percentage, but that’s what happens when you weigh down your most talented friends with looks (Week 10: 71.8% of targets were directed to George Kittle, Jauan Jennings, or Christian McCaffrey).
He’s clearly comfortable with this plan and potentially playing for his next contract. The Jones profile isn’t perfect, but if you’re pressed into a corner or want to get creative in DFS, I think there’s juice to squeeze here.
