Week 11 Sleepers

I’m out this week with my family visiting family, but will continue to post every day.  The catch: I’m answering 300+ questions every week and probably won’t have time to respond to everyone’s this week.  So if you have a strong opinion, or a well-thought-out opinion, or a combination of the two, weigh in early and often.  This is not an authoritative blog.  Everyone has a voice, whether I’m offline or not.

My latest WRAL column includes some Week 11 sleepers, including Eli Rogers and Sterling Shepard (both were also among my big sleepers heading into Week 10): http://www.wralsportsfan.com/over-and-undervalued-fantasy-wrs-for-week-11/16248506/.  And with Jeremy Maclin sitting, Tyreek Hill is a fantastic WR3+ start (as nearly everyone except ESPN’s weekly rankers seem to know).

And if you’re desperate, I’d absolutely take flyers on backup Derrick Henry and Paul Perkins (nine touches each last week).  Desperate lineup moves should be met with volume guys: Who has the best chance at earning double-digit touches?  That’s where the percentages (for TDs, for a 40-yard gain) go up.

I also have no problem throwing caution to the wind on Colin Kaepernick, who will have to throw 40+ times to try to keep San Francisco competitive against the Patriots.

Speaking of New England, starting Martellus Bennett should be obvious.  Starting Julian Edelman and even Danny Amendola might not be.  Brady should be in line for four scores, so the likelihood each of these guys gets one is high.
