| Dak Prescott, coming off his best performance of the season -- at least for Fantasy. |
| Prescott hasn't been quite as good as we hoped for Fantasy so far, though that's not really his fault -- prior to Week 10, he hasn't thrown more than 29 passes in any of his first three games. However, lest you think that was the start of some sea change in how the Cowboys operate, Prescott threw 46 times last week and responded with a three-touchdown game in a shootout loss to the Packers. |
| And he could find himself in a shootout yet again this week against the 8-1 Vikings. The Vikings are eighth in scoring per game and just dropped 33 in Buffalo, so they're no joke. We'd love to see these two teams play another game into the 60s in scoring, and Prescott is well situated to take advantage of a defense allowing the fourth-most yards per game through the air. |
| Prescott could be about to go on a tear, and you can read about why Jamey thinks Prescott will put up another big game in his Start 'Em & Sit 'Em column for Week 11. Tomorrow morning, we'll have Dave Richard's Start and Sit picks for Week 11 along with updates on all the injuries you need to know about plus a preview of Thursday Night Football. But for now, here's who Jamey is starting and sitting this week: |
| |
| Quarterback Start 'Em and Sit 'Em |
| |
| Start 'Em: Justin Herbert and Kirk Cousins |
| "Herbert is expected to get Keenan Allen (hamstring) and Mike Williams (ankle) back this week, and Herbert needs those reinforcements. It's been rough without his top two receivers since he has scored 16 Fantasy points or less in four of his past five games. Prior to that, Herbert had scored at least 25 Fantasy points in three of his first four outings. Herbert has scored at least 23 Fantasy points in each of his past five meetings with the Chiefs. And Kansas City has allowed all but two quarterbacks ( Matt Ryan in Week 3 and Malik Willis in Week 9) to score at least 20 Fantasy points this season. Herbert has top-five upside again this week." |
| Sit 'Em: Matthew Stafford and Jared Goff |
| "We'll continue to monitor Stafford's status heading into Sunday's game at the Saints, but he's now a risky Fantasy option in Superflex and two-quarterback leagues. With Cooper Kupp (ankle) out, it's hard to expect Stafford to even average the 13.1 Fantasy points per game he was scoring, and guys like Allen Robinson and Van Jefferson aren't going to boost Stafford's value. He's playing behind a bad offensive line with limited weapons, and this is very much a lost season for Stafford in Fantasy and reality." |
| |
| Running Back Start 'Em and Sit 'Em |
| |
| Start 'Em: Antonio Gibson and David Montgomery |
| "Khalil Herbert (hip) is on injured reserve, so Montgomery could be looking at his best workload of the season against the Falcons . Atlanta has allowed a running back to score at least 18 PPR points in four games in a row, with seven total touchdowns scored over that span. Montgomery hasn't scored a touchdown since Week 7, so he's due, and he has top-15 upside in Week 11 with Herbert not around to steal touches." |
| Sit 'Em: D'Andre Swift and James Robinson |
| "Swift's workload has been troubling for the past three games after coming back from a three-game absence due to shoulder and ankle injuries. He's been at 10 total touches or less, and last week at Chicago he had six carries for 6 yards and a touchdown, along with one catch for 6 yards on three targets. Jamaal Williams will continue to lead Detroit in carries, and Williams is worth using as a No. 2 running back in all leagues. The Giants are No. 3 in fewest Fantasy points allowed to opposing running backs and No. 1 in fewest receptions allowed to the position, which could make it hard for Swift to make plays in the passing game. He's a flex at best in this matchup." |
| |
| Wide Receiver Start 'Em and Sit 'Em |
| |
| Start 'Em: Courtland Sutton and Tyler Boyd |
| "Jerry Jeudy (ankle) is likely out in Week 11 against the Raiders , which should make Sutton the focal point of the passing game. He has seven games this season with at least seven targets, and he scored at least 12 PPR points in five of them, including Week 10 at Tennessee when Jeudy got hurt. Sutton also faced the Raiders in Week 4 and had five catches for 52 yards and a touchdown on seven targets. He's worth trusting as a No. 2 Fantasy receiver in all leagues since Las Vegas has allowed 12 receivers to score at least 12 PPR points this season, including three in the past two games against Jacksonville and Indianapolis." |
| Sit 'Em: Adam Thielen and Diontae Johnson |
| "In two games with T.J. Hockenson on the Vikings, Thielen has combined for eight catches for 116 yards and no touchdowns on 14 targets. He hasn't scored a touchdown since Week 6 and has just two touchdowns on the season. He did have a big game against Dallas last year in Week 8 with six catches for 78 yards and a touchdown, but it's tough to trust him now as anything more than a No. 3 receiver in the majority of leagues. Cousins is locked in on Justin Jefferson, understandably so, and Hockenson has taken over as the No. 2 option in the passing game. Thielen can still be good, but without a touchdown he might not be great." |
| Tight End Start 'Em and Sit 'Em |
| |
| Start 'Em: Dalton Schultz |
| "Schultz has played four games with Dak Prescott this season, and he scored at least 13 PPR points in three of them. He should continue to produce at a high level this week against the Vikings. There have been five tight ends with at least seven targets against Minnesota this season, and three of them have scored at least 13 PPR points. Schultz has at least seven targets in three of four starts with Prescott." |
| Sit 'Em: Robert Tonyan |
| "Tonyan disappeared against the Cowboys in Week 10 with just one catch for 8 yards on one target. He's scored eight PPR points or less in four games in a row, and it's tough to trust him in Week 11 against the Titans. Tennessee is No. 5 in most Fantasy points allowed to opposing tight ends, but that's mostly from Mo Alie-Cox (26 PPR points in Week 4) and Travis Kelce (20 PPR points in Week 9) doing most of the damage. Tonyan only has one touchdown on the season, so it's hard to count on him scoring in this matchup." |
| DST Start 'Em and Sit 'Em |
| |
| Start 'Em: Saints vs. LAR |
| "The Saints get the benefit of facing the Rams in the first game without Cooper Kupp (ankle), and a struggling offense for Los Angeles should be even worse. Along with offensive line woes, the Rams should have a hard time scoring, and they have been at 17 points or less for three games in a row. The Saints have 13 sacks in their past three games, and they should be able to harass Matthew Stafford in this matchup. I like the Saints DST as a top-five option in Week 11." |
| Sit 'Em: Cardinals vs. SF |
| "The Cardinals DST has scored four touchdowns in the past five games. Arizona has 13 sacks, five interceptions and three fumble recoveries over that span. And the Cardinals just held the Rams to 17 points in Week 10. But that doesn't matter this week against the 49ers. San Francisco has scored at least 22 points in five of the past six games and are averaging over 25 points per game with Christian McCaffrey on the roster. Expect another big performance from the 49ers offense and sit the Cardinals DST in Week 11." |
