Fantasy Football: Week 11

Fantasy Football: Week 11

Week 10 was full of all kinds of surprises. Injuries are starting to plague the NFL, and it’s having an impact on fantasy owners. Join us and, most importantly, heed our advice as we make the final push for the playoffs.

 

Waiver Wire

QB: Case Keenum (18% owned vs LAR)

Story continues below advertisement

Case Keenum has finally started to light a spark on this Vikings offense. Look for him to keep it going the rest of the season.

RB: Jamaal Williams (8% owned vs BAL)

Starter Aaron Jones is out several weeks, and Ty Montgomery is questionable and inefficient. Jamaal Williams is a nice RB2/FLEX for the next couple weeks.

WR: Kenny Stills (37% owned vs TB)

Stills has seen a lot of targets the last few weeks. If he is still on waivers in your league, he is a great late season option.

TE: C.J. Fiedorowicz (13% owned vs ARI)

Fiedorowicz was placed on Injured Reserve after week 1, and after a limited week 10, he looks to be a target-heavy safety net for whoever’s under center for Houston.

 

Breakouts

QB: Alex Smith (@NYG)

Smith will be well rested coming off a bye and gets the struggling Giants D this week.

QB: Derek Carr (vs NE)

Carr continues to get lots of opportunities in Bill Musgrave’s pass heavy offense, and faces an awful Patriots secondary.

RB: LeSean McCoy (@LAC)

“Shady” has been off his game the past few weeks, but gets the league worst Chargers run defense this week.

RB: Marshawn Lynch (vs NE)

Lynch, fresh off a two touchdown performance last week, will score again and run the ball well against the Pats.

WR: Alshon Jeffery (@DAL)

Jeffery continues to garner more targets in the dynamic Eagles O, and will explode against the Cowboys.

WR: Larry Fitzgerald (@HOU)

We like Fitz this week, who is due to get beyond the pylon for his first time since week 6.

TE: Rob Gronkowski (@OAK)

“Gronk” will get back into the endzone and see heavy usage.

 

Busts

QB: Dak Prescott (VS PHI)

Dak will have a hard time doing much of anything against a stellar Philly secondary.

RB: Jerick McKinnon/Latavius Murray (VS LAR)

The Vikings running back duo won’t be their normal selves this week against the Rams front seven.

WR: Kelvin Benjamin (@LAC)

The Bills just switched to rookie quarterback Nathan Peterman, which will not help the already struggling Benjamin.

TE: Coby Fleener (VS WAS)

The Saints hardly ever throw the ball anymore, and when they do, it isn’t to Fleener.

 

You better win in week 11!
