Fantasy Football Start/Sit: Week 11

Share

This fantasy football season has gone by way too fast.

Can you believe that we only have a few regular-season matchups left?

We feel the same way, Eminem.

If you have any questions, hit us up on @CSNFantasy and tune in to our weekly Fantasy Fix Facebook Live show every Thursday.

Let's get right into the Week 11 Start/Sit and as always, Liam Neeson has a message for you:

START

Colin Kaepernick, QB, SF (vs. NE) - With Phillip Rivers and Matt Ryan out and other QBs facing tough matchups, Kaepernick is an under-the-radar guy you can get on the waiver wire or toss in your starting lineup from the bench. NE is capable of getting carved up by mobile QBs on the ground and Kaepernick is doing that better than anybody right now. Kap has only started four games and is already sixth among QBs in rushing, averaging 57 yards per game. Think he likes Chip Kelly's offense? No matter what, Kap gets you fantasy pts in rushing alone. (Tony Andracki)

Robert Kelley, RB, WSH (vs. GB) - The emergence of Kelley has made Week 1 starter Matt Jones, who was inactive last week, obsolete in Washington's offense. Kelley is entrenched as the Redskins No. 1 running back and has been given 20-plus carries in consecutive games. Look for Washington to feed Kelley once again this week in an attempt to control the clock and keep Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers offense off the field. (Scott Krinch)

Marcus Mariota, QB, TEN (@ IND) - Who would have predicted that Mariota would be a Top 5 fantasy quarterback going into Week 11? The second-year signal-caller has thrown for no less than 232 yards in his last five games and is averaging 3 touchdowns per game during thar span. Indy's defense presents another opportunity for Mariota to add to his torrid stretch as the Colts allow the fourth-most fantasy points to opposing QBs. (Krinch)

Theo Riddick, RB, DET (vs. JAX) - Jags are a middle of road defense, but Riddick has shown he is a factor as a rusher, too, with double digit carries in each of last 6 games he's played in. He had only one reception for 6 yards vs. MIN in Week 9, but had 14 catches for 110 yds and 3 TDs in last two games prior to that. He's an RB1 this week. (Andracki)

SIT

Michael Crabtree, WR, OAK (vs. HOU) - The Texans are great against WRs (only the Broncos, and Vikings better). In five of nine games this season, opposing WRs have tallied less than 23 points vs. HOU, and that's for the entire group of WRs. We've seen Crabtree disappear this season at times and could be the case again this week coming out of the bye. (Andracki)

Stefon Diggs, WR, MIN (vs. ARI) - Cardinals have allowed only 1 TD to WRs over the last four games and though Diggs is incredible in PPR leagues, he has only 2 scores on the year. You've heard a lot about Diggs lately, but so have the Cardinals, and they're going to want to make sure somebody besides Diggs beats them in Week 11. (Andracki)

Todd Gurley, RB, STL (vs. MIA) - After being drafted Top 5 in the majority of fantasy leagues, Gurley has yet to rush for 100 yards in any game this season, and hasn't scored a touchdown in nearly a month and a half. Opposing defenses have stacked the box against Gurley, and forced an atrocious Rams passing attack to beat them. I can't see Gurley benefiting from Jared Goff's promotion to QB1 as the Dolphins front seven should wreck havoc on the St. Louis offense this weekend. (Krinch)

Carson Wentz, QB, PHI (@ SEA) - Wentz has hit the rookie wall. After setting the world on fire the first four weeks of the season, Wentz has notched single-digit fantasy totals in four of his last five games. Wentz' struggles will likely continue against a Seahawks pass defense that looks to have turned the corner after not allowing a passing touchdown to Tom Brady in last Sunday's victory over the Patriots in Foxborough.
