It’s Week 11 of the college fantasy football season and chances are this is your last opportunity to make it into the playoffs if you aren’t already. Eric Froton offers some lineup help with his starts and sits for Week 11. StartQuarterbackByrum Brown, Auburn at Mississippi StateThe fleet-footed South Florida transfer is a limited passer who hasn’t cleared 200 passing yards since Week 3. Luckily, Brown has cashed in at least one rushing touchdown in every game against a Power Four opponent this year and is one of the truly elite QB rushers in the nation, which is always enticing from a CFF perspective. While Brown’s passing variance has led to some peaks and valleys from a weekly performance perspective, his running ability provides an explosive element that has helped Brown score 27+ points in five of nine games. He has the advantage of facing a Mississippi State team that is reeling after losing star QB Kamario Taylor and allows 33% of targets to be thrown to wide-open receivers (135th in FBS) and ranks 81st in explosive play rate allowed. Brown scored 33.4 points last week against a dreadful Arkansas defense, and should have similar results versus the Bulldogs this weekend. JC French, Cincinnati at Iowa StateFrench has the advantage of playing behind one of the best run-blocking offensive lines in the nation that averages a superb 3.5 yards before contact (2nd). He has cleared the 25-point mark in three of his last four games, and should do it again versus Iowa State’s defense that ranks 94th in SP+ while allowing a 100% touchdown rate in goal-to-go situations. Isaiah Marshall, Kansas at West VirginiaMarshall missed Week 9 with an injury, but came roaring back with 34.9 points against UCF last week. He has rushed for 100+ yards in three of his last five appearances and scored 20+ points in each of those last five games. West Virginia is the runaway No. 1 defense you want to play for college fantasy purposes, which means Marshall should easily clear 20+ points for a sixth straight game.Running BackL.J. Phillips, Iowa vs. PurdueWhen starting RB Kamari Moulton went down for the year, Xavier Williams got the first crack to be lead dog in Iowa’s ill-fated 30-0 evisceration at the hands of Wisconsin. Last week against Northwestern, the Hawkeyes pivoted to featuring Phillips, who promptly tossed up 128 rushing yards and 15.2 points against a very respectable Wildcats front. He carries a good deal of momentum into this week’s showdown against Purdue’s 106th-rated defense that allows a 45.5% rushing success rate (116th) and 5.6 YPC (127th). Phillips should find the end zone this week and is a strong RB2/flex play despite being available in 96% of leagues.Lee Beebe, Indiana vs. USCIndiana starting RB Turbo Richard sustained a shoulder injury against Minnesota in Indiana’s last game, but with a Week 10 Bye we didn’t know the extent of the damage until late Wednesday, when it was revealed that Richard will indeed miss IU’s big matchup with USC this week
