It doesn't get much more high-stakes than this. For the first time in NFL history, there are three games in Week 11 that pit a pair of teams with seven or more wins against each other. So get ready to watch great players do great things as the Commanders and Eagles, Ravens and Steelers, and Chiefs and Bills square off. (Oh, and there are a few other games on the schedule too.)

ON BYE: Arizona, Carolina, New York Giants, Tampa Bay

Fantasy football rankings for Week 11 are based on the point-per-reception (PPR) scoring used in most seasonal and daily fantasy football formats. One point is awarded for every 10 rushing and receiving yards and one point for every 20 passing yards. Six points are awarded for touchdowns scored, four points for passing TDs and one point for receptions.

Rankings are compiled by Daniel Dobish, TheHuddle.com.

(*-check status before kickoff)

Bills quarterback Josh Allen has had some epic clashes with the Chiefs and Patrick Mahomes over their careers. Sunday's game is shaping up to be yet another classic.
