Week 11 fantasy advice: Watch out for Jonathan Stewart, Wes Welker, Jordan

Tony Romo should be at the top of your list if you’re struggling with QB play.

KEVIN AMERMAN writes a weekly column about fantasy football for Times-Shamrock Newspapers. Owners can flip their frustrations through an ever-refreshing daily fantasy football slate in Week 11.

Sound complicated? Don’t worry – it’s simple to understand.

Want ALL the Defense Ratings? Week 11 begins a stretch of matchups for Carr that include only one negative matchup for the rest of the season. This week he faces the Lions and he should be able to rebound and put up a nice game.

Gillmore has at least four targets in each of the last four weeks, and he’s a potent red zone threat.

Whether injuries, bye weeks, or just needing a quick talent infusion have driven you to look for help from the waiver wire week 11, check out my top ten to taret on the following slides. Ameer Abdullah has shaken the trust of Detroit’s coaches with fumble issues – he’s tied for fourth-most in the National Football League with three – and Theo Riddick has fallen into a familiar role as a pass-catcher who gets minimal work on the ground. Only players owned in under 60% of Yahoo leagues will qualify. In the team’s last three games, he has received 24, 24 and 27 touches, scoring at least one touchdown in each game. Can they do the same this week to a Broncos defense that will get back Talib? Miller is also doing a lot of damage in the passing game. Additionally, several running backs that double up as receiving options should also produce nicely this week. He is super cheap in all DFS formats, so he is worth a flyer.

In addition to fantasy sports, the hosts discuss the Patriots finally getting past the NY Giants; the Packers’ recent slide and Aaron Rodgers calling out a fan for a derogatory comment during a moment of silence for the Paris attacks; and the battle between Cam Newton’s Carolina Panthers and Carson Palmer’s Arizona Cardinals for NFC supremacy. All that is keeping Evans from being one of the highest scoring fantasy receivers is a touchdown. Romo hasn’t seen a live defense in more than 2 months.

It’s not a good matchup at all, but Cutler is playable in big leagues if you are in need because he is spreading the ball around very well. And the matchup is pretty good against a Dolphins team that gave up over 200 yards receiving to TEs last week. Check out our Podcast Directory for more fantasy football podcasts.

Forecast: Tamme’s streaming run should come to an end next week against the Vikings.

Sullinger isn’t the most explosive fantasy performer but he has been extremely steady for the Celtics. Atlanta gives up 10.4 FPPG to TEs (fifth most). The Oakland Raiders have given up the third most points to opposing tight end this season, which is good news for the few Ebron owners. That pressure led to eight sacks over the last three games.

Players who could fall short of expectations this week based on the strength of their opponent. Starting, or even streaming Flacco this week is the wrong choice. Langford impressed on national television in his first start, but 96 percent of us ignored him due to a bad matchup against the Rams. None are fielding a starting quarterback, wideout, tight end or running back that they drafted in the first round. He did throw two interceptions. Touchdown upside may not be there, as he only has two on the season, but volume will be there for sure. That streak could continue this week as the Cowboys have allowed 10 total touchdowns to opposing backs this season. With Dez Bryant back on the field, Romo is set to thrive in just a few weeks. The same can be said for Charcandrick West, who was just 1.2-percent owned against the Broncos’ vaunted defense. But, in the passing game, Jones was a huge weapon, finishing with three catches for 131 yards and a touchdown.

Vernon Davis has gotten a lot of hype after being traded to the Denver Broncos, but do not let the hype get to you.

Antonio Gates’ matchup against the Chiefs may look attractive because of the Chiefs’ reputation against fantasy wide receivers. Over the past month West has racked up 412 total yards of offense (276 rushing and 136 receiving) and 4 TDs. If Dalton tries to force the ball to Green, it could be a long night for the Cincinnati offense. In this article I will break down players with similar value, ranking and projection heading into this coming week. According to ESPN Stats & Information, it was the longest gain on a screen pass this season.
