Fantasy Football Starts/Sits (WK11)

Welcome to TimersSports

Originally wasn't gonna do any articles this week as I am in process of moving to Los Angeles. But the moving process was quicker then I thought. So today we gonna look at starts and sits for week 11! The difficulty of these fantasy football decisions can be stressful. Never fear I got some useful suggestions! Let get started!

***Scoring format: CBS Sports

Starts -

Quarterbacks:

Robert Griffin III- RGIII may not be an QB1 caliber in the new Washington offense , but Tampa Bay is too favorable to overlook. The Bucs have allowed the 5th most fantasy points per game (22.8). Give him a shot unless you have an elite option on your hands.

Matt Ryan- Look Ryan haven't been great this season , but he's have enough offensive weapons to be a threat to be an QB1 level player. Carolina have allowed the 7th most fantasy points per game to QBs (22.5). I would highly consider starting him over most options out there.

Colin Kaepernick- I don't hate CK7 this week. Colin clearly needs to work on consistency. But facing the downtrending Giants should help CK7 out. As New York have allowed the 13th most fantasy points per game (20.7).

Running Backs -

Frank Gore: Marshawn Lynch scores 4 times and 140 yards against the Giants in week 9. If Gore can even manage half that it will be a good day. The Giants have allowed the 2nd most fantasy points per game running backs (24.8). Can you really pass this matchup up? I wouldn't.

Mark Ingram: The former high draft pick out of Bama been looking every bit of it in recent weeks. The Bengals have allowed the 4th most fantasy points per game (23.4). No way I am benching this dude. Least while he absolutely own the entire saints backfield.

Steven Jackson: Jackson is starting to look like a reliable running back again. As he have scored in back-to-back games and double digital points outing as well. Carolina have allowed the 7th most fantasy points per game (22.7).

Wide Receivers -

DeSean Jackson: DJax leads the league yards per catch. He may not always scores TDs , but he almost always gain big yards despite average QB play in 2014. Tampa Bay just gonna help his cause this week. The Bucs have allowed the most fantasy points to Wide Receivers per game (29.5).

Randall Cobb- The Eagles have the fastest pace offense in the league , but the Green Bay Packers also feature an fast pace offense. And one of the WRs within the offense is Cobb. Cobb leads the league in TDs catches. The Eagles defense on the other hand have allowed the 3rd most fantasy points per game to WRs (27.5).

Golden Tate- Despite the return of Calvin , Tate is still putting up solid numbers. No reason to jump off the Golden train until to go off tracks. The Cards pass defense have struggled as an unit. As they have allowed the 8th most fantasy points per game vs WRs (24.8).

Tight Ends -

Dwayne Allen: Allen in my opinion been one of the best surprises of the 2014 season. He literally have became a nightmare matchup against defenses overnight. And Andrew Luck absolutely love it. The Patriots have allowed the 13th most fantasy points per game (9.0).

Travis Kelce: Kelce is the 9th best Tight End in points per game (7.5). In week 11 , he gets an very favorable matchup against the Seahawks who allowed the 4th most fantasy points per game (10.8).

Sits -

Quarterbacks:

Jay Cutler- I was one of the many experts who jumped on the Cutler bandwagon in the offseason. But I will be the first to admit that was a mistake. Cutler just haven't lived up to the hype. The Vikings have allowed the 5th fewest fantasy points per game (17.0).

Ryan Tannehill: I am not a fan of starting non-stud on TNF. Ryan is no different. He is barely above average  quarterback with an questionable supporting cast. The Bills have allowed the 4th fewest fantasy points per game vs Qbs (16.9).

Eli Manning: Manning always have potential to have a great week. But that's the big problem. Typically Eli is boom or bust. More often then not he's an bust. To me there better upsided options out there. The 49ers have allowed the 11th fewest fantasy points per game vs QBs (18.3).

Running Backs -

Reggie Bush: Bush is so injury pronged it not enough funny. I mean we have to go back to week 6 and find Bush healthy. Not exactly something I want as a fantasy owner. The Cardinals have allowed the 2nd fewest fantasy points per game (12.9).

Lamar Miller: Miller is coming off an injury , so not totally on board with him in week 11. To make matter worse its against the Bills on TNF. Two things that instantly raise red flags. 1) Its an Thursday night (so a short week). Not exactly assuring to hear since Miller was questionable earlier in the week. 2) The Bills have allowed the 3rd fewest fantasy points pet game (13.6).

Bobby Rainey: Rainey for the time being the top back in Tampa , but I have a feeling Sims about take over the backfield before the season ends. Rainey still holds value , but shouldn't be started against Washington. Washington have allowed the 7th fewest fantasy points per game vs RBs (14.5).

Wide Receivers -

Dwayne Bowe: Bowe been pretty inconsistent all season long. Typically I don't suggest starting them vs an unfavorable matchup. In week 11 , Bowe faces an Seahawks who have allowed the the 4th fewest fantasy points vs WRs (17.8). There more reliable options laying out there.

Alshon Jeffery: When was the last time Jeffery scored a TD? Seems like weeks now. I cannot understand it really. Well okay I can , but it doesn't make any sense. Especially since the Bears always playing from behind. The Vikings have allowed the 11th fewest fantasy points per game (20.7).

Larry Fitzgerald: Fitz been looking like the Fitz of old. Unfortunately the injury to Carson Palmer may have killed his value. Only tine to tell. To be honest , I would wait a game or two to see how he fair. The lions have allowed the fewest fantasy points per game vs WRs (16.9).

Tight End-

Greg Olsen: I am a matchup guy when it comes to Tight Ends. This position is so inconsistent outside of Gronk & Graham. Typically I try to find a solid matchup and play it. Olsen doesn't fits into that category in week 11. The Falcons have allowed the 2nd fewest fantasy points per game vs TEs (5.2).

Martellus Bennett- Bennett continues to decline as the colder weather get closer as does the Chicago Bears. Bennett who was the top ranked Tight End at one time have dropped to 6th in points per game (9.6). The Vikings have allowed the 5th fewest fantasy points per game (5.5).
