Injury-Based Start and Sit Analysis: Start Tyreek Hill, Sit Thomas Rawls
These are your “heavy hitters”. Cleveland has to play ball control to stay in this game, so count on Crowell to operate as a reliable Fantasy RB2 for Week 11.
This is where a majority of the players will be located. The Eagles aren’t the easiest matchup in the world, but he should get plenty of touches in what has emerged as one of the best offenses in the league recently. But there are players who can defy this rule for short stretches, and Davis is one of them. In order to make sure you lock up one of those precious spots, lineup maintenance and paying attention to your players’ match-ups is key. In some cases, you may have to use Rawls because you are desperate for a bye week sub, but play wait-and-see on him and keep him reserved this week if you can.
Robert Woods presents a flawless situation for fantasy owners this week after a breakout game against the Seattle Seahawks on Monday Night Football in Week 9. They’re also coming off a great performance against the New England Patriots, one that included Tom Brady’s first interception of the season and a fourth-quarter fumble recovery that resulted in the game-winning touchdown. The chances of him doing that again two weeks in a row is extremely low.
Sometimes your mind believes you are the same player, while your body knows there is still work to do.
We haven’t called “TyGod’s” name lately, but it might be time to go back to the dynamic quarterback. It’s unclear how much better they’ll be with Goff, who went 22 of 49 with 232 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions in limited preseason action.

Ben Roethlisberger (QB – PIT) vs Browns: The Steelers face off with Cleveland this weekend in a match-up that favors Big Ben. This week, he gets the Browns. Quarterback Jay Cutler will have to look elsewhere, with tight end Zach Miller the most likely target. In three others, they’ve surrendered two passing touchdowns to an opposing quarterback. Jacksonville’s pass defense isn’t terrible, in fact the unit is allowing the third-fewest passing yards to quarterbacks this season (1,935).
He has three 100-yard games and three touchdowns in the last six games.
Marcus Mariota, Tennessee Titans vs. Indianapolis Colts (FD $8,000/DK $6,700): He has been tremendous during this six-game stretch, and one can make the argument nobody else in the National Football League has been better. How can you rely on a quarterback who is averaging just 196.6 passing yards per game (30th among 33 quarterbacks who qualify)?
Sunday features a matchup of first-place clubs when Dak Prescott and the smoking Dallas Cowboys, winners of eight straight, host the resurgent Baltimore Ravens.
Here are five must-start defenses for Week 11 of the National Football League season.
Jordan Matthews, WR, PHI (vs. ATL) – The Falcons defense has allowed 130 (!) PPR fantasy points to WRs the last two weeks (GB/TB), so this really has nothing even to do with Matthews, although he does have 24 targets over the past two weeks.
Week 11 got off to a weird start on “Thursday Night Football”, as more than 40 point were scored between Carolina and New Orleans, but quarterbacks Cam Newton and Drew Brees disappointed. The Redskins’ defense is 23rd against the run with 115.2 yards allowed per game, and the unit has given up the second-most rushing touchdowns with 13. The Chiefs should not have too much trouble finding scoring opportunities against a Tampa Bay defense that ranks 27th overall (386.0 YPG) and has surrendered 30 or more points four times this season.
