NFL Fantasy Football Week 11: Start ‘Em, Sit ‘Em And FanDuel Picks

Welcome to Week 11! For standard leagues, I’ll pick some players outside the top 10 and 15 who I think will play well as well as some higher rated players who I see underachieving using the ESPN rankings. I’ve got my FanDuel picks at the bottom. Last week I was lucky enough to finish 2nd in a Fan Duel 300 team tourney so I hope these picks are just as good.

Underachievers

• Green Bay Packers QB Aaron Rodgers:  He is struggling, goes on the road against a team he has struggled against, I do not feel good this week.
• Cincinnati Bengals QB Andy Dalton:  Last week was bad and going to Arizona could be worse.
• Baltimore Ravens QB Joe Flacco:  Solid week in and week out but the Rams are in a must win.
• St Louis Rams RB Todd Gurley:  The Ravens stop the run well and should be doing everything to make Case Keenum beat them.
• New York Jets RB Chris Ivory:  Bilal Powell is back which take some receptions and Houston Texans have given up zero touchdowns in last 10 quarters.
• Denver Broncos WR Demaryious Thomas:  Not a great year and lots of uncertainty with Brock Osweiller.
• Cincinnati Bengals WR A.J Green:  In the best kept secret he has had only 2 big games and theArizona Cardinals secondary will continue this trend.
• Washington Redskins TE Jordan Reed:  He has the talent but Kirk Cousin will struggle versus the Panthers.

Overachievers

• Seattle Seahawks QB Russell Wilson:  This should finally be the week he puts up a crooked score.
• Philadelphia Eagles QB Marc Sanchez:  This is more about his opponent Miami Dolphins.
• Tennessee Titans Marcus Mariota:  I love he match up versus Jacksonville Jaguars who are awful against the ass.
• Indianapolis Colts RB Frank Gore:  With the injury to Andrew Luck, he should get as many carries as he can handle.
• Chicago Bears RB Jeremy Langford:   He looks to be match up proof.
• Denver Broncos RB Ronnie Hillman:  He is the RB1 and the Broncos will run to keep the QB safe.

Here are my FanDuel picks for the week where I will give some higher and lower salaries I like at each position. As you will see, I will be focusing on the defenses to pick on:

• St Louis Rams QB Case Keenum $4,800
• Philadelphia Eagles QB Mark Sanchez $6,400

• Carolina Panthers WR Ted Ginn Jr $5,200
• San Diego Chargers WR Steve Johnson $5,600
• New England Patriots WR Danny Amendola $6,100
• Oakland Raiders WR Michael Crabtree $6,500
• Detroit Lions WR Calvin Johnson $8,000
• Atlanta Falcons WR Julio JOnes $9,100
