Buy/Sell/Steal for Week 11
Emptying out the notebook
Devonta Freeman (concussion) and Allen Hurns (ankle) will miss Week 11; Aaron Jones (ankle) is out three to six weeks, while Ty Montgomery (ribs) left the game early and his status for Sunday is unclear; Rob Kelly (ankle) may be done for the year; Curtis Samuel (ankle) is out for the year.
Tyrod Taylor has been benched in Buffalo; Nate Peterman will start.
Waiver wire pick-ups: Teddy Bridgewater (QB/Min; this is more of a stash play), Jamaal Williams (RB/GB), Samaje Perine (RB/Was),
Teams on a bye: Indianapolis, New York Jets, San Francisco, and Carolina
Tennessee at Pittsburgh kicks us off Thursday night.
The Patriots and Raiders play in Mexico City.
Atlanta at Seattle finishes the week Monday night.
Ravens Fantasy Outlook
Jeremy Maclin: Maclin is in line for a big day against the Packers, who have allowed 88 or more yards to WRs in four straight games.
Danny Woodhead: The key here is if he plays. Remember, on his only drive of the year he accounted for six points. He is a must start in PPR leagues.
Defense: They are a must start this week even on the road. Hundley has thrown only two TD all year and seems to be bothered by a hamstring. They will be a top three defense this week.
Buy
QB: Matt Ryan: In his two games against the Seahawks last year, Ryan threw six TD and averaged 25 points a game.
Derek Carr: Carr has thrown for over 300 yards in three straight games, averaging 19 points during that span. He gets the Pats this week who have had trouble against the pass.
Other names: Philip Rivers (if healthy), Matthew Stafford, Drew Brees, Tom Brady, Carson Wentz, Russell Wilson, Eli Manning
RB: Jay Ajayi: His first game with the Eagles came four days after he was traded and he went for 88 yards and a score. His role will expand after a week off and he gets a favorable matchup against the Cowboys.
LeSean McCoy: With the rookie Peterman getting the start this week, McCoy should have a huge workload in both the running and passing game. He is a RB1 against a Chargers team that allows the most rushing yards per game to RBs.
Other names: Le’Veon Bell, Jordan Howard, Leonard Fournette, Todd Gurley, Mark Ingram, Alvin Kamara, Lamar Miller, Kareem Hunt, Melvin Gordon, Orleans Darkwa
WR: JuJu Smith-Schuster: In his past two games, JuJu has scored 32 and 22 points. He has also seen the same amount of targets in those games as Antonio Brown.
Adam Thielen: Thielen is averaging 19 points a game over his past four contests. Thielen is a must start every week, especially since he has seen eight or more targets in all but one game.
Other names: Antonio Brown, Golden Tate, Mike Evans, Robert Woods, Stefon Diggs, Sterling Shepard, Tyreek Hill, Larry Fitzgerald, DeAndre Hopkins, Keenan Allen, Brandin Cooks, Chris Hogan (if healthy), Michael Crabtree, Alshon Jeffery, Julio Jones
TE: DelanieWalker: Walker has scored double digits in three straight games and is averaging eight targets a game.
Charles Clay: A rookie QB’s best friend is his TE. While Clay wasn’t that impressive in his first game back, he did post double digits in three of four games prior to his injury.
Other names: Cameron Brate, Kyle Rudolph, Travis Kelce, Evan Engram, Rob Gronkowski, Zach Ertz, Jimmy Graham
Def: Pittsburgh, Jacksonville, New Orleans, Houston, Arizona, Denver
Sell
QB: Kirk Cousins: The argument can be made that the Saints defense has looked good because of the lack of competition they have played. That is why they will step up there game this week and prove they are for real, especially at home.
Marcus Mariota: Mariota got banged up on Sunday and now has a quick turnaround on the road against the second ranked defense.
Other names: Brett Hundley, Jay Cutler, Andy Dalton, Ben Roethlisberger, Brock Osweiller, Dak Prescott
RB: Jerrick McKinnon: McKinnon has lost the lead back role to Latavius Murray over the past month. He is a threat in the passing game and is only relevant if he breaks off a big pass.
Joe Mixon: Mixon has a tough matchup on the road against the Broncos, who have allowed 90 yards a game on the ground.
Other names: DeMarco Murray, Jamaal Williams, Doug Martin, Marshawn Lynch, Alfred Morris, Tevin Coleman, Isaiah Crowell
WR: Will Fuller: No one has suffered more from the loss of DeShaun Watson then Fuller. Since the injury, Fuller is averaging 2.5 points a game.
Marqise Lee: With Hurns sidelined this week, Lee is the last WR standing and the only WR the defense has to worry about. Lee will be a bust this week and the Browns will keep him in check.
Other names: Rishard Matthews, Demaryius Thomas, Amari Cooper, Dez Bryant
TE: Julius Thomas: Thomas is an intriguing option, but you just can’t trust the Dolphins offense. He has posted double digits only once all year.
Jason Witten: Over the past five games, the Eagles have held TEs under 10 points in four times.
Other names: Vernon Davis, Hunter Henry, Tyler Croft, Austin Hooper
Def: Tennessee, Minnesota, Kansas City, Buffalo, Atlanta
Steals
QB: Ryan Fitzpatrick: He will be a cheap play in DFS and gets back Mike Evans this week. If you are looking for a flier, he has a nice matchup against the Dolphins.
RB: Samaje Perine: Rob Kelly is heading for the IR, and Perine will see an increased workload.
WR: Dontrelle Inman: In his first game as a Bear, he led the team in targets, receptions, and yards, that trend will continue as he is their best WR option.
TE: Marcedes Lewis: Though I am not high on Lee, I am high on Lewis this week, who will be the de facto number two option and will see plenty of targets.
Def: Chargers
