Looking for an RB replacement in Week 11? Here is a list of streaming options that can help you this week.

Teams on Bye: 49ers, Bears, Bills Giants
Kalen Ballage – Chargers vs. Jets 4:05 P.M. EST Sunday
Available in 35% of Yahoo Leagues and 33% of ESPN Leagues
Ballage has taken advantage of his opportunities as a ball carrier for the Chargers. He has 33 carries for 137 yards and a touchdown over the past two games. It looks like Ballage has earned the trust of the coaching staff and has moved up the depth charts for the Chargers. He is a solid replacement until Austin Ekeler returns. He also gets a mouthwatering matchup against a poor Jets defense in Week 11.
Salvon Ahmed – Dolphins at Denver 4:05 P.M. EST Sunday
Available in 40% of Yahoo Leagues and 62% of ESPN Leagues
Ahmed embraced his role as the surprise workhorse in week 10. Ahmed had 21 carries for 85 yards and a touchdown in his first start. Matt Breida may get a few looks if he is able to play this week, but Ahmed should be the go to guy again in Week 11. The Dolphins cut Jordan Howard this week, so they feel comfortable with Ahmed running the show until Myles Gaskin returns from IR.
Rex Burkhead – Patriots at Houston 1:00 P.M. EST
Available in 58% of Yahoo Leagues and 61% of ESPN Leagues
If you are in a PPR/Half PPR League, Burkhead is a great streaming option. The Patriots backfield is usually one to avoid, but Burkhead has seen increased playing time, and faces a Texans defense that allows more rushing yards per game than any other team. Burkhead is a solid option to see passes out of the backfield and have a presence for the Patriots again this week.
Adrian Peterson – Lions at Panthers 1:00 P.M. EST Sunday
Available in 56% of Yahoo Leagues and 70% of ESPN Leagues
With D’Andre Swift potentially out on Sunday with a concussion, Peterson should be the Running Back to roster for the Lions this week. Carolina is a great matchup for Running Backs, and Peterson could have himself a day if Swift misses this one. Monitor the Swift situation, and give Peterson a shot if Swift is ruled out.
Malcolm Brown – Rams at Buccaneers 8:15 P.M. EST Monday
Available in 73% of Yahoo Leagues and 59% of ESPN Leagues
Brown doesn’t have a great matchup against Tampa, but if you are in need of a running back this week, Brown could be a good option. The Rams running back situation is usually one to avoid since it is a 3 headed monster between Henderson, Brown and Akers. But the one thing Brown has going for him is the role of the goal line back. Brown put two rushing touchdowns on the board in Week 10, and should be the Rams RB that gets the goal line carries again in Week 11.
