Week 11 bye teams – Tenn,
Minn, NYG and SEA
QB
Carson Palmer– Still only owned in 58% of Yahoo
leagues, Palmer is the guy to pick up and start this week. In his last two games he has thrown for 782
yards and 6 TD’s. This week he returns home to welcome the Saints who allow the
MOST points to Fantasy QB’s. With the possibility that McFadden and Goodson
miss another game, the game plan will fall squarely on Palmer’s shoulders. He’s
a QB1 this week in this matchup.
QB Flier
Ryan Tannehill – If anyone is due for a bounce back
performance, it is Tannehill. Last week he threw for 217 yards and 3 INT’s. His
remedy for a bounce back is the Buffalo Bills.
The Bills allow the 2nd most fantasy points QB’s. He’s a serviceable
bye week fill in for deeper leagues or injury replacement.
RB
Chris Ivory – Ivory’s only going to get around a dozen touches a game, but
in this matchup with the Raiders who allow the 5th most fantasy
points to RB’s he is definitely serviceable this week.
Joique Bell – With the Packers coming off a bye and getting Jordy Nelson
back, their offense figures to be clicking. That means the Lions will have to
throw to keep up, so Bell is serviceable flex this week in PPR.
RB Flier’s
Ben Tate – Owned in only 39% of Yahoo leagues, if he returns this week
he could see a lot of garbage time against the Jaguars.
Beanie Wells – Eligible to return in week 12. Arizona has a tough schedule ahead and bad
offensive line, but touches and carries will be there.
WR
Darrius Heyward-Bey – Only owned in 55% of Yahoo leagues
Heyward-Bey has had 10 catches 156 yards and 1 TD in his last two games. This
week he has a juicy matchup against the Saints who allow the most fantasy
points to WR’s. The Raiders figure to have to keep pace with the Saints and
with a limited running game, Heyward-Bey has WR2 upside in this matchup.
Danario Alexander – He was on this list last week and then
went off for 5 catches 134 yards and a TD against the Bucs. This week they face
the Broncos and with Champ Bailey likely on Floyd, Alexander makes a sneaky
play here. He is a very serviceable WR3 or flex.
WR Flier
Brandon LaFell – He scored in their first matchup and
since then, Tampa Bay has gone on to allow the second most fantasy points to WR’s
including most receptions and most yards to WR’s.
TE
Greg Olsen – Only owned in 59% of Yahoo leagues, he caught 9 balls for
102 yards and 2 TD’s in week 10.
TE Flier’s
Tony Moeaki - He caught 3 balls for 68 yards in week 10. This week he
faces the Bengals and they allow the 6th most fantasy points and tied
for 2nd most red zone touches to TE’s.
Lance Kendricks – Lance saw 6 targets and caught 3 for
48 yards against the stingy 49ers. This week at home he faces the Jets and they
allow the 5th most fantasy points and 3rd most TD’s to TE’s.
With Amendola back, defenses figure to keep and eye on him freeing up space
Kendricks.
