Fantasy Football Week 11: starts, sits, risks and tries to fall asleep for every NFL game

Cowboys at the Falcons

Sit him

The best parts of Hooper tend to happen when backpacks Falcons can not destroy their defenses. It is also an obvious cover of short target areas where he can find the space needed to perform quick and short throws of Matt Ryan. The Cowboys have been very good against the backs, but this is their second straight game on the road and they will not have the blocker Sean Lee at the center of their defense. That should help Tevin Coleman. In addition, the Cowboys 'high school should not be up to the Falcons' other catchers, which could potentially push Hooper to play a smaller role. Zach Ertz scored twice in Dallas last week but is in a league quite different from Hooper's. It seems like a good week not to chase Hooper 's statistics from the 10th week and find someone else.

Sneaky Sleeper

Since the arrival of Week 9 of Amari Cooper, Prescott has averaged 4.1 additional pass attempts per game, with notable improvements in yards per attempt (6.9 to 7.6), in touchdowns per match (1.1 to 1.5) and percentage completion (62% to 70%). This is partly because of Cooper, but partly because of the greater use of Ezekiel Elliott in the passing game (10 catches in his last two games for 87 yards and one score). Prescott has scored for more than 21 points in Fantasy in three of his last four games (18 in Cooper's debut), and his Falcons defense will be allowed to over 21 versus the quarters in 7 out of 8. Atlanta also continues to struggling to defend against the runners in the air. Marcus Mariota and Eli Manning, two other QB players, have more potential, but Prescott feels like a low-risk, slightly rewarded Fantasy passer.

Buccaneers at the giants

Risky starter

Last week, Howard had his first game in his last five games with no more than four receptions (1-15-0). The defense did not take him out and his playing time was normal – that's because the Bucs halfbacks (ie Jacquizz Rodgers) became more involved in the passing game with eight targets. In fact, the Bucs halfbacks totaled 12 targets last week, after scoring 4.9 targets per game average over the previous eight outings. Dirk Koetter, his coach, wants to be more involved in his back. Is it enough to worry about using Howard? You probably should not let it happen this week knowing that there are not many other options, but that your expectations need to be mastered. This does not help that the Giants are very good against tight goals, especially those that are not primary offensive weapons.

Sit him

In their last three games, the Giants have kept Calvin Ridley, Josh Doctson and Marquise Goodwin within 70 yards each. Only four receivers have accumulated more than 80 yards against the Giants all season. Jackson has totaled less than 80 yards in five straight games, with a touchdown in one of them, while guys like Adam Humphries and Chris Godwin have made a leap forward lately. Tampa Bay seems interested in relying a little more on their half to try to keep their defense away from the field. Looks like a lot is going against Jackson.

Sit him

You can not deny two things: the dream match that awaits Engram against the Bucs … and the lack of involvement and production that Engram has given us. In three games since returning from injury, Engram has seen 18 targets and turned them into 11 passes for 87 yards with a score. That's 7.9 yards per jack. He also has two drops since his return. As for the 18 targets, they represent only 15.5% of Eli Manning's shots. Both of Engram's touchdowns were lost in Giants' losses in time, another signal to his lack of relevant use. So, while the Buc have dropped five touchdowns and 15.3 yards per shot at tight ends in their last seven games, Engram is too risky to give the benefit of the doubt to his recent performance.

Steelers at Jaguars

Start it

Linebackers and Jacksonville security guards are devoured alive by opposing offenses. In the past two weeks, five of the Jaguars' six touchdown touchdowns have been hit by blows, all of them abandoned by different defensemen. In a normal week, the defense could focus on something more important, but the Steelers have so many guys who can catch that McDonald's that Jacksonville will probably not have a good answer to play better against tight ends. Ben Roethlisberger does not make a distinction – proof of this – last week – and McDonald has a good chance to find the goal zone for the second week in a row.

Texans at Redskins

Risky starter

This gives the impression of a kind of inefficient game. This should help Miller get the type of volume he needs to deliver about 70 yards. Washington has struggled to close the tournament in their last two games, so Miller may have some good numbers after contact (he ranks 17th in this category according to Sports Info Solutions). Can he score? This seems unlikely. Miller has scored in two of his last three games, but Washington has dropped a touchdown to a comeback in the last five, which does not make it look like a great opportunity.

Sit him

The Redskins offensive line has become an obvious problem. Last week, against the modest Bucs defense, Peterson needed all 19 carries to get 68 yards. Of the 19 points, 13 went for three yards or less. Now he will face a rested and talented Texans defense, which keeps the back at 3.5 yards per run. Maybe the Redskins will be creative and use Peterson in the passing game, but they have been reluctant to do it all season (he has 18 targets). Think of him as a touchdown runner with a low ceiling for the distance traveled.

Titans in Colts

Sneaky Sleeper

Mariota's hand is healed and her play and numbers are excellent since the Titans' farewell. Although his percentage of achievement was up 66% to 69.8%, his yardage per attempt went from 6.87 to 8.83. It's huge! Mariota also had more touchdowns in her last two games (four) than in her first six (3). He does not make nearly as many mistakes as at the beginning of the year and should not have too much to deal with the scramble for the Colts' assists. Expect his improvement to continue against a Colts side team that has struggled with outside receivers and a defense that has had two sacks of the season in its last three games. In addition, the Colts should accumulate points and incite the Titans to play in a high scoring game, which favors Mariota players. He is my favorite quarterback streaming.

Start it

This kid is for real, and the combination of Mariota that launches better and gives him targets, since the farewell should be all the proof you need to start it. Davis had four late-game targets in the last two weeks (he had only three before the starting point) and should have had at least two other big games without holding a ball a little too long for Mariota. Davis does nothing to suggest that he is raw or inexperienced and that the match against Indy's high school is excellent. An outside physical receiver like Davis has scored on the Colts in five of their last six.

Start it

We knew that last week's game against the Jaguars was good for the Colts. We did not think Doyle would see Eric Ebron. and Mo Alie-Cox combines four goals while he has three catches. The emergence of Alie-Cox is real, but Doyle still plays the most snaps of all the tight extremes of Indy and runs even more courses than his counterparts. Titans have good linebackers and protectors to hold slower, physical ends like Doyle, but they are also effective at holding running parts. This could force Andrew Luck to do more. Tennessee could also end up playing more zones to prevent the Colts from beating big games. Both would be theoretically more for Doyle. I'll give him another shot to make some nice numbers in the 11th week.

Panthers at Lions

Sneaky Sleeper

Risky starter

In the last five games of the Lions, they have allowed wide receivers …

• 10 touchdowns (seven of the slot)
• 15.8 yards per take
• a catch rate of 73.5%
• 17 passes of more than 20 yards (not including six more passes of more than 20 yards at close ends)

While the Panthers may as well go to Motown and run the ball, but the intuition is that the Lions will give them a little play and that Cam Newton will have to launch a few. Moore aligns on all the training and can be a matchup nightmare in the slot. He is also the perfect type of catcher who can play against this inexhaustible unit of Lions. It will be part of my DFS training and it is good to have at least one flex this week.

What about Funchess? Good question – his target share remains solid compared to the number of passes that Newton has launched, but since the flaring match of Moore in Atlanta, he has seen as many targets as the rookie with a worse average reception. Christian McCaffrey and Greg Olsen had more. Funchess has been relegated to touchdown or bust status, but it's a very good status given the seriousness of the Lions pass defense.

Bengals at Ravens

Start it

Let's start with the match: Cincinnati's run-off defense has fallen off a cliff, giving up six points on the ground and a 5.5-yard run per race in its last four games. Getting Vontaze Burfict back would not be a boost since they had trouble with him in the first place. Will Collins be the guy who will benefit the most? He has played nearly half of Raven shots in most games of the season, never dominating play time, but leading in the last four games of the Ravens. Regarding the clichés that matter, Collins has 16 shots in the red zone in these last four games, including nine in the 10, three more than Javorius Allen. The interest is that the Ravens will rely on Collins as the main bearer of the ball and that, given the confrontation, this should give him a chance to score a good match. Hope this will be the first of many given the upcoming Raven calendar.

Broncos at Chargers

Sneaky Sleeper

What if I told you that the Broncos have aligned Heuerman throughout the training for a good part of the season? You may be surprised, but the reality is that there has never been any real reason to notice it because it was considered after the fact in the offense. That changed in the 9th week when he managed 10 catches on 11 targets (most of them short distance) as part of a better career match of 83 yards and one goal. touch. It was also the first match of the Broncos without Demaryius Thomas. It will last? The Los Angeles pass defense has improved since the start of the season against the receivers, but it has allowed the team to touch a very tight touch to four of its last six games with a 60-year capture rate. %. It's a risk, but as the Broncos are expected to run after points and the Chargers are likely to focus on Denver's fast receivers, the six-foot Heuerman is again a candidate for multiple targets.

Raiders at Cardinals

Start it

David Johnson will have his numbers, but the cardinals will inevitably throw the ball. When they do, Seals-Jones should be part of their game plan. After a game of nine targets and five catches last week against the Chiefs, RSJ will witness a Raiders defense with a loss of 16.2 yards per catch, a catch rate of 80% and six touchdowns at close ends. last six games. Byron Leftwich would do his team a disservice if he did not try to get Seals-Jones involved this week. This is the best tight term to broadcast in the 11th week.

Eagles at Saints

Sit him

I totally overestimated Tate's role and effectiveness last week – he barely played and was an obvious disappointment. That said, nothing says how limited it will be this week. The Eagles definitely need him for this match, and Philly is about to launch a lot just to follow Drew Brees & Co. However, Tate's own admission that he has a lot to learn keeps him from being a legitimate Fantasy consideration. It's a shame – the heavy passes Carson Wentz expected, combined with the slot machine battle that Tate could have done if he played the whole game, would be an interesting option.

Vikings at Bears

Sit him

Evidence suggests that the way to attack the Vikings is in the middle of the field, especially with short, fast passes canceling the passing of Minnesota passes. That suits guys like Tarik Cohen, Trey Burton and Anthony Miller, but that does not do much for Robinson. Last week, Robinson played a huge game against a weak and exhausted Lions defense, but the Vikings are planning to get him into a tight corner, Xavier Rhodes. It's a match that the Vikings can probably win. Bet on a serious regression of Robinson during the 11th week – but much better games from the 12th week.

Sit him

You must have sympathy for the owners of Howard Fantasy. Many have started last week with big figures dreams against the Lions defensive against the bad race, but that is Tarik Cohen who scored the goal short, while Howard stayed in dust with 11 litters and an average of 1.9 yards on the ground. It will be impossible to trust Howard this week against a defensive against the Vikings race rested and loyal. The only halfbacks to beat the nine Fantasy (non-PPR) points against them are Chris Ivory (20 races and a draw), Todd Gurley (duh), Wendell Smallwood (touchdown), David Johnson touch and a goal of waste time carry) and Alvin Kamara (duh). This suggests that the only way for Howard to return fantasy value to Fantasy is if he gets a ton of hits (he's had more than 15 scans twice this season) or scores (the Vikings have allowed two touchdowns). # 39; reach the half this year). It's like the kind of game where Cohen will be called on to do more.

Heads at Rams

Start it

The whole world is waiting for shootouts between these teams. And for Watkins, it's a great game against his old team. In their last five games, the Rams have watched the receivers earn 15.8 yards per jack with 18 more than 19 yards. Wideouts have a catch rate of 67.5% over this period with six touchdowns. Watkins is expected for a big game (he has had one in his last five games) and this seems like the right time to do it.

Packers at the Seahawks

Risky starter

It's getting harder and harder to trust Graham. After collecting 45 targets in his first six games, he had 11 in his last three. The Packers are still a heavy team in assists, but the emergence of Aaron Jones has reduced the Aaron Rodgers pass attempts per game from 42.3 for the first six places to 33.7 for the last three. It should also be noted how grainy Graham is compared to other people picking up the Packers passes, including the very tight No. 2, Lance Kendricks. This could be related to a knee injury that Graham is suffering from, but you can not ignore Graham's record 68.4 shots last week against Miami (Rodgers played every time). Without many goals, Graham is reduced to a tight end. This is not a good thing for a guy with two scores, five targets in the end zone and eight targets in the red zone. Sure, Seattle dropped the touchdowns to Gerald Everett and Tyler Higbee last week, but they are the second and third points of the season's tight ends. No opponents had more than eight non-PPR fantasy points (12 in PPR). The "revenge game" factor is a good story, but the only reason Graham joins Graham is that the Packers should score a lot of points. and there is no better end-to-end option.

Risky starter

The process was good with Valdes-Scantling last week – he secured 6 out of 7 targets and played 94% of snapshots – but was primarily used as a short-area slot receiver. His only deep target caused a bad Rodgers throw. The Seahawks High School is collapsing, but it is the outside corners that have begun to subside over the past month. Hopefully, the Packers will complete MVS against these defensive backs (although it will have an advantage over their size compared to the Justin Coleman corner), and we must also hope that the high expectations of this game bring more targets for the recruit. It is better used as a flex and is safer in the PPR.

Start it

The secondary packers is a mess. Rookie Jaire Alexander played well, but Bashaud Breeland was burned in the slot. Josh Jackson's outside corner was a handicap last week and security, Tramon Williams, was suspended for a long touchdown in three of his last four games. Games. This is good news for the Seahawks of the home team. Russell Wilson regularly follows the pace of transfers but was ridiculously effective with one touchdown every 11.7 attempts. Lockett grabbed a third of Wilson's scores and hit the floor in 7 of 9 games. His deep speed will be too difficult to handle for the Packers. Lockett's Pencil (who managed to capture 75% of his goals with 14.6 yards per capture) as the No.2 Bottom Catcher.
