My
Week 11 Fantasy Favorites
Believe me when I say, there’s no deep
research here. I’m not using any algorithms or scientific formulas, but at the
same time I am not flipping coins or selecting the more dominant state flowers.
I just go by what my eyes see and what the numbers tell me. After 10 weeks of
action, these are my favorite plays for Sunday Week 11;
Derek
Carr (Oak); I
like the Raiders quarterback at home this week against the Patriots. And while
some believe the Pats defense is playing much better, let’s not confuse Brock
Osweiler with Derek Carr. The talent level and abilities are not comparable. I
expect a huge day for Carr.
Latavius
Murray (Min);
The Rams have not been great against the run this season and their secondary is
going to have all they can handle with the Wonder Twins (Diggs & Thielen)
on Sunday. Murray should see a healthy number of carries (14-18) this week,
enough to do some damage. He could break off a few big runs if he can get to
that second level. The Rams safeties won’t be able to cheat up and will likely
be making most of their tackles 5-6 yards beyond the line-of-scrimmage.
Melvin
Gordon (LAC);
Last week was Austin Ekeler outplaying Melvin, but this week look for Gordon to
bounce back in a big way against the Bills. Gordon will line up against a defense
that has allowed the 6th most rushing yards and 11 rushing touchdowns (most in
the league) this season. Gordon should get plenty of play on Sunday and turn in
a great effort.
Michael
Crabtree (Oak); With Carr expected to have a big day on Sunday according to
me, Crabtree should be one of the big recipients. The Patriots defense has
allowed the 3rd most fantasy points, 3rd most receptions, and the 2nd most
receiving yards to opposing wide receivers this season. Crabtree is the No.23
fantasy WR (in PPR) this season and will look to climb the board on Sunday.
Nelson
Agholor (Phi);
The Eagles wide receiver has been a quiet surprise this season, scoring in five
of his first seven games. He’s been off the past two games, but he’s got a
tasty matchup on Sunday against the Cowboys. The Cowboys defense has allowed
the 5th most receptions and 3rd most touchdowns to opposing receivers. I am
expecting Agholor to make at least one trip to pay dirt.
Travis
Kelce (KC);
Quite simply the Giants defense has played the worst against opposing tight
ends this season. Kelce will matchup against a defense that has allowed the 3rd
most receiving yards (632 yards) and the most touchdowns (10) to opposing tight
ends; sounds like a big day coming for Travis.
That's My Take.
