NFL Week 11 Fantasy Football Analysis – Sleepers and Tips

November 13, 2008 By 7 Comments

Fantasy Football Sleepers Week 11Over at the Fantasy Sports Blog, Kurt Fraschetti just chimed in with his weekly breakdown of fantasy football tips and sleepers.

We are transitioning all of our fantasy content over to the new blog, but I figured I’d post the sleeper predictions here since the Fantasy Sports Blog is still fairly new and I don’t want anyone to miss out on the prognosticating genius of Fraschetti.

Here are Fraschetti’s sleepers for Week 11 of the Fantasy Football season:

Tyler Thigpen, QB, Chiefs. Tyler Thigpen is #2 in fantasy football points at the quarterback position over the last three weeks. Thigpen is facing a Saints defense which does not strike fear into any offense. I am not calling Tyler Thigpen a fantasy QB god, but in a jam he is a good filler. I like consistency, and three weeks of good scoring fits my definition of consistency.

Ricky Williams, RB, Dolphins. Ricky William is coming off of a good fantasy performance, and is facing OAKLAND. Need I say more? Just remember, anyone vs Oakland is a good thing.

Terrell Owens, WR, Cowboys. This is the week that Terrell Owens gets off the schnied. Tony Romo and Terrell Owens = TD, period. Its hard to call T.O. a sleeper, but really, have you been starting him? Did you not want to trade him, or still trying to? Terrell Owens should have a bounce back week this week.

Follow the link to read the rest of Fraschetti’s weekly fantasy football sleeper focus column and post any last-minute lineup questions. You can post your questions here too.

We are also hosting a live chat on Sunday morning between 9:00 and 11:00 ET.  Head over to the Week 11 Start Em, Sit Em Live Chat now and submit your question early.  (If it’s past 9:00 already, then hurry the hell over now and get your question in before we’re done.  What are you waiting for?)

To find out more about the injury status of running backs like Clinton Portis and Willie Parker, check out the Running Back Injury Report post.

Best of luck in Week 11! (Hopefully LT will actually show up this weekend!)

    Would you go with Kevin Smith or Ricky Williams this week?

    Fraschetti, feel free to correct me if you disagree — but I say Kevin Smith. He is now the clear-cut #1 back, whereas Ricky Williams is still only getting 8-12 carries max for the Dolphins. Ricky’s matchup is better against Oakland, but I think you have to go for the guy who will get double the carries, even if it’s against Carolina.

    @JRod, Thats what I was thinking also. Thanks for the feedback. What so you think between Calvin Johnson , Donny Avery, and Mark Bradley. I know that the Lions have to go to Johnson for any hopes of a win but the matchups on the other two are quite tasty.

    Thanks agian.

    @Michael Dela Cruz,

    Personally speaking, I’d start Calvin Johnson. I would probably look at it long and hard, and the matchups are enticing, but Calvin Johnson is the most proven guy in the bunch and the most probably to have a big day. He may not be a must start every week yet…but he’s close. If it were Braylon Edwards or those two, I’d probably start Avery or Bradley. But you probably paid a high price to get Calvin Johnson, and he’s made enough big plays this year to warrant it. Start him and be confident that he is one of your studs, rather than seeing him have a big day and kicking yourself for sitting him. If he happens to struggle, can you really regret starting one of the 10 most talented WRs in the league? Eliminate the risk of guilt – start Johnson!

    (Thank you…I am facing a similar lineup dilemma and you just helped me talk myself into starting Calvin Johnson. Let’s hope he proves us right!)

    Thanks for the Advice J. I’m really glad I stumbled upon your site, I’ll definitely be checking back for advice and information.

    Hi Jrod,

    I made the playoffs!! Now I’m having a bit of trouble in my receiving corp. Would you rather go with Lance Moore or Domenik Hixon? I also have Chad Johnson who I could potentially bench.

    Thanks,

    Mike

    Michael,

    Pretty good problem to have as both Moore and Hixon seem poised for good finishes. First off, stick with your gut and bench Chad Johnson. He’s having a garbage season.

    I would go with Lance Moore. In NO’s offense, he should get more opportunities because all they do is throw. Hixon has been elevated near the top of the depth chart with Burress’ suspension, but he is also small and could wear down as the season goes along — plus, the Giants are a running team first. I think Moore will have better stats over the course of the last four games of the year.
