What NFL teams have a bye in Week 11?

We have made it past the halfway point of the NFL season and as we head into Week 11, we’re getting closer to the difficult time for fantasy football when six teams will be on a bye week.

Thankfully, we’re not quite there yet.

NFL teams on bye: Week 11

As we head into Week 11, there are four teams on bye week: Arizona Cardinals, Carolina Panthers, New York Giants, and Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Even better than only having four teams on bye this week is that two of them are teams with pretty weak offenses, so they likely won‘t impact your fantasy outlook too badly. Still, make sure to check your lineup for key players you’ll need to swap out.

Let’s take a look at where these four teams stand as they get ready for a week of rest.

Arizona Cardinals (6-4)

After beating the New York Jets 31-6 on Sunday, the Cardinals have claimed the No. 1 spot in the NFC West and are in the running for a Wild Card spot in the playoffs. Quarterback Kyler Murray is having one of the best seasons of his career so far.

Carolina Panthers (3-7)

Don‘t look now but the Panthers are on a two-game win streak. That makes it a first since 2022 and gives them a semblance of hope for the first time this season as they showed improvement this week. They‘re heading into the bye week after an overtime win over the New York Giants in Germany. Quarterback Bryce Young‘s game wasn’t outstanding, with just 125 yards and one touchdown, but he made zero mistakes.

New York Giants (2-8)

Obviously, the Giants are going into the bye week disappointed after the 20-17 loss to the Panthers in Munich. They are sitting in last place in the NFC East. Quarterback Daniel Jones made lots of mistakes, missing passes to Malik Nabers and Wan’Dale Robinson. It’s gotten to the point where head coach Brian Daboll has declined to name Jones the starter after the bye week.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers (4-6)

The Buccaneers are heading into the bye week after a loss to the San Francisco 49ers, their fourth straight. Still, they are second in the NFC South behind the 6-4 Atlanta Falcons. They’ll welcome a rest as several players will hope to come back from injury for their Week 12 game against the Giants.
