Rodgers can have big Week 11


It is hard to believe, but the season is in Week 11. There are a just a few weeks left before the playoffs in many formats. Every game is important throughout the year, but these games late in the season carry so much importance at this time of the year. A slip up now could mean the difference between making and missing the playoffs. So get those lineups in order and plan for the future. It is never a bad idea to start looking a week ahead to make sure your lineup has all the right pieces in place to get a victory. A proactive owner is a winning owner.

Now for my random thoughts for the week. . . . .

It was great to see Christian Watson finally show what he is capable of, but I’m not convinced he will be consistent in this offense the rest of the year. I think he will be hit or miss, but should have some big games along the way. I’m not trying to be a Debbie Downer, but I just want to throw some caution to owners before they throw all their FAAB at Watson this week. He might continue to frustrate fantasy owners going forward. 

I’m not sure Tua Tagovailoa gets enough love. Sure, he still misses on some throws you would like to see him make, but he has played very well this year, especially after returning from his concussion. He has three straight games with three touchdown passes. He also has three 300-yard games. Tagovailoa has two of his receivers in the top 10 in fantasy receiver scoring. He is doing a great job in this offense and should continue his hot play going forward. He seems to be gaining more confidence every week. 

T.J. Hockenson has been targeted 19 times in two games with the Vikings. He is going to be a huge part of this offense going forward. Hockenson is the second best target in the offense behind Justin Jefferson. And what Jefferson playing out of his mind, this might actually help Hockenson find more room to run in the opposition’s secondary. He is going to be a top-five fantasy tight end the rest of the way. 

I continue to be impressed by Geno Smith. He really is playing some great football. He is making good decisions and some amazing throws on a weekly basis. I don’t think anyone saw it coming outside of Geno Smith himself. He has multiple touchdowns four straight games. He has topped 20 fantasy points six of 10 games. He is seventh overall in fantasy quarterback scoring. Smith has a real chance to be a top 10 fantasy quarterback all season long. He is one of the best stories in football this season. 

Jonathan Taylor has been a bust this year but last week was really encouraging. He looked healthy and played a ton, playing a season high 94 percent of the snaps. With Nyheim Hines gone, Taylor will be out there a lot more on passing downs. This really helps his fantasy value. Hopefully, his poor play most of the year didn’t doom your teams. He could be in for a strong finish if last week is any indication. 

With Cooper Kupp out, I like both Allen Robinson and Tyler Higbee for big finishes to their fantasy seasons. Robinson has been a bust to date, but his targets could really soar with Kupp out. Kupp averaged 10.9 targets per game, so that is a lot of looks that will be going to other players. Robinson is more than capable based on his track record. His season high in targets is just seven. Higbee is the other Ram that is really intriguing. He already showed his potential last week, catching eight passes for 73 yards on eight targets. He already had three games with double-digit targets. Both these guys see their stock rise with the unfortunate injury to Kupp.

I’ll be honest. I have no idea what to do with Kyle Pitts at this point. He is getting the targets and his air yards are off the charts. All those indicators mean the huge game is there for the taking any given week. Unfortunately, those games have been few and far between. The poor quarterback play has impacted Pitts more than anything. Until Marcus Mariota starts to play better, Pitts will continue to be all over the place for fantasy teams. He has been as frustrating as any fantasy player this season. 

News and Notes: The Packers released wide receiver Amari Rodgers and running back Kylin Hill on Tuesday. Rodgers has fallen out of favor with the Packers, especially after losing a fumble during last week’s game. Hill was serving as depth for the Packers at running back, getting little playing time. . . . .The Vikings signed free agent receiver Dede Westbrook to their practice squad on Tuesday. Westbrook has plenty of experience and some success, so he could work his way into the lineup at some point for the Vikings. . . . . .The Texans claimed running back Eno Benjamin off waivers on Tuesday. Benjamin was surprise release by the Cardinals. He gives the Texans some additional depth at running back and could be the top backup before long. 

HOT PLAYS

Aaron Rodgers, QB, Packers. Rodgers had his best fantasy game of the season last week, scoring 23.6 fantasy points. He had three touchdowns for the first time all season. And he did this against a very good Cowboys defense. And while Rodgers hasn’t been great this year, he has been consistent, having multiple touchdowns all but three games. He can keep up his hot ways this week against the Titans. Tennessee allows the fourth most fantasy points to quarterbacks and rank 31st against the pass, allowing 272.6-passing yards per game. 

Antonio Gibson, RB, Commanders. Gibson might not be starting anymore but he is still helping fantasy teams. He has at least 14 fantasy points three of four games. The Commanders gave him 14 carries last week, which tied a season high. And his work in the passing game gives him a high weekly floor, having at least three receptions six of seven games. Gibson should perform well again this week against the Texans, a team that allows the most fantasy points to running backs. Houston has allowed at least 136-rushing yards all but one game this season. 

Tee Higgins, WR, Bengals. Higgins has double-digit fantasy points all but the first game of the season. He has not been outstanding but very consistent. And with JaMarr Chase out of the lineup, he can be the go-to option in this passing attack. He tied a season high in receptions his last game out with seven. Higgins should get a heavy workload this week against the Steelers, a team that allows the second most fantasy points to receivers. 

David Montgomery, RB, Bears. With Khalil Herbert placed on Injured Reserve, this leaves Montgomery to get nearly all the work at running back. He no longer has to split the workload, which is very encouraging for his fantasy value. Montgomery hasn’t done a whole lot this year but does have three games with double-digit fantasy points and a 100-yard showing in Week 2. He is setup for maybe his best game of the season this week against the Falcons. Atlanta allows the 12th most fantasy points to running backs and gave up 232-rushing yards to the Panthers last week. Atlanta has allowed 169 or more rushing yards two of three games.

Dalton Schultz, TE, Cowboys. Schultz is a different player with Dak Prescott as his starting quarterback. He has two straight games with at least 13 fantasy points and at least five receptions three consecutive games. He gets a heavy workload with Prescott as the signal caller. He is a legit TE1 for fantasy teams. Schultz can produce big once again in Week 11 against the Vikings. Minnesota allows the 10th most fantasy points to tight ends and rank 29th overall abasing the pass. 

COLD PLAYS 

D’Andre Swift, RB, Lions. Sure, Swift scored a touchdown last week but he still didn’t hit double-digit fantasy points. That is pretty hard to do. He wasn’t even listed on the Injury Report for Week 10, but still didn’t get near a full workload. Swift played behind both Jamaal Williams and Justin Jackson much of the game. Swift is so hard for fantasy owners to trust right now, getting very sporadic work. If you have better options, go with them in Week 11. Swift gets the Giants, a team that allows the fifth fewest fantasy points to running backs. 

DeVonta Smith, WR, Eagles. Smith scored a touchdown last week and was targeted eight times in the game. That was the good news. The bad news is he had just 39 yards. He has failed to top 50 yards four straight gams and five of six. He has been a little boom or bust for fantasy owners. He might get volume again this week but look for his yardage numbers to struggle once again. Smith plays a shutdown Colts pass defense. Indy allows the fewest fantasy points to receivers and rank seventh overall against the pass. 

Derek Carr, QB, Raiders. Carr scored had two touchdowns for the second straight game last week. He has looked a little better lately, but his overall numbers still haven’t been great this year. He has been more mediocre than good for a team that is underachieving. Carr has a real tough matchup this week against the Broncos, a team that held him out of the end zone in Week 4. Carr did not even reach 200-passing yards in that game. Denver allows the fewest fantasy points to quarterbacks and are first overall against the pass. Go with other options at quarterback in Week 11.

Michael Carter, RB, Jets. Carter had a season high in rushing yards his last time out, rushing 12 times for 76 yards and a touchdown. He has been decent much of the year, having double-digit fantasy points five times. But he has been shutdown rushing at times and that could happen again this week. He gets the Patriots, a team that held him to seven carries for 26 yards in Week 8. The Patriots allow the second fewest fantasy points to running backs. New England has allowed fewer than 80-rushing yards three of four games. 

George Pickens, WR, Steelers. Pickens scored his second touchdown of the season last week, but that came on the ground. He has been a little quiet catching the ball the last few weeks, having three receptions for 32 yards on seven targets his last two games. He is a little hard to trust, especially in matchups that aren’t too favorable. And a game against the Bengals isn’t a great one for him. He had a catch for three yards on three targets against the Bengals in Week 1. Cincinnati allows the sixth fewest fantasy points to receivers. 

SLEEPERS

Darius Slayton, WR, Giants. Slayton had a season-high 95 yards last week and scored his second touchdown of the season. He has scores two of three games and reached double-digit fantasy points in all those games. He has really emerged as the go-to receiver for the Giants passing game. Slayton can reach double-digit fantasy points once again in Week 11 against the Lions. Detroit is playing better defense the last few weeks but still allow the seventh most fantasy points to receivers and rank 27th overall against the pass. 

Melvin Gordon, RB, Broncos. Gordon has not taken off since becoming the starter for the Broncos. He hasn’t been all bad, though. He has two straight games with double-digit fantasy points. He has double-digit touches three straight games, getting the chances in the Broncos offense. If Gordon gets that workload this week, he should do well. He plays the Raiders, a team that allows the fourth most fantasy points to running backs. Las Vegas allowed more than 200-rushing yards last week. 

Jimmy Garoppolo, QB, 49ers. Garoppolo didn’t have a passing touchdown but ran one in last week. He failed to top 20 fantasy points in the game, breaking a streak of four straight games with 20-plus fantasy points. He has been very consistent since becoming the starter in San Francisco. Look for Garoppolo to top 20 fantasy points this week against the Cardinals. Arizona allows the seventh most fantasy points to quarterbacks and 17-passing touchdowns. He is a solid low-end QB1 for this week 

Kenyan Drake, RB, Ravens. Gus Edwards is expected to return this week, but Drake might carry the load with his hot ways lately. He has 16-plus fantasy points three of four games. He had a season-high 24 carries his last time out. Drake is a solid No. 2 fantasy back for teams in Week 11 against the Panthers. Carolina allows the fifth most fantasy points to running backs. The Panthers have allowed 135-plus rushing yards three straight games. Carolina gave up more than 200-rushing yards to a below average Bengals rush offense just two weeks ago. Don’t be afraid to play Drake despite the return of Edwards.

Tyler Conklin, TE, Jets. If you can believe this, Conklin is sixth overall in fantasy tight end scoring. And his is after a game that he had just a catch for seven yards. He has been solid most of the year, having four games with double-digit fantasy points. And his best game of the season came against his opponent this week, the Patriots. In Week 8 against New England, Conklin has six receptions for 79 yards and two touchdowns. The Patriots have struggled to stop tight ends much of the season, allowing the sixth most fantasy points to tight ends.

High/Low Scoring Games

Each week we will take a look at some of the high and low scoring games for the coming week. In high scoring affairs, get your marginal players on those teams in your lineup to take advantage of the possible points barrage. And in the low scoring games, keep those marginal players on the bench and make sure to have your defenses involved in those contests.

High Scoring Games: Bears/Falcons, Chiefs/Chargers, Cowboys/Vikings.

Low Scoring Games: Titans/Packers, Jets/Patriots, Rams/Saints.

Bye Weeks: Jaguars, Dolphins, Seahawks, Bucs.

Player Notes
Xavier Legette Apr 26 3:13am CT
Xavier Legette

Dynasty | The Carolina Panthers selected wide receiver Xavier Legette with the final pick of round one in the 2024 NFL Draft. Dynasty Analysis: The Carolina Panthers moved up and secured the final pick of round one to draft Legette 32nd overall. It's a tricky landing spot for his value as he'll have an immediate chance for playing time but also a project being paired with a quarterback who has a whole lot of question marks moving forward. Legette looks like a boom or bust rookie draft pick who will likely go in round two of most rookie drafts moving forward.

Trey Hendrickson Apr 25 11:30pm CT
Trey Hendrickson

Cincinnati Bengals defensive end Trey Hendrickson requested a trade on Wednesday, according to his agent, Harold Lewis, as he seeks more long-term security after the two sides settled on a one-year extension last year worth $21 million. However, a source said that the Bengals are not interested in trading Hendrickson. It's not surprise that Hendrickson is looking for a new deal after posting a career-high 17.5 sacks, which was second in the NFL behind Pittsburgh's T.J. Watt. It was the highest total for a Bengals player since sacks became a statistic in 1982. He also finished 11th in pass-rush win rate as an edge rusher and created the second-most sacks (18) in the league. Contract issues aside, Hendrickson is going to be a very coveted defensive lineman in IDP fantasy formats this fall after his big 2023 campaign.

Brandon Aiyuk Apr 25 11:20pm CT
Brandon Aiyuk

The San Francisco 49ers are "more likely" to trade wide receiver Deebo Samuel than Brandon Aiyuk during this year's 2024 NFL draft, according to a source. Aiyuk's name has been mentioned in trade rumors all offseason, but now Samuel is the more likely pass-catcher to be dealt. Samuel, 28, is two years older than Aiyuk but has more versatility in the offense. However, Samuel also has a salary cap hit north of $20 million in 2025. Aiyuk is looking for a new long-term deal as he heads into the fifth and final contract of his rookie deal, but the Niners have been hesitant to give him a market deal given their other financial commitments. San Francisco took rookie pass-catcher Ricky Pearsall with the 31st overall pick in the first round on Thursday night, potentially foreshadowing a trade of either Samuel or Aiyuk in the coming days.

Justin Herbert Apr 25 11:20pm CT
Justin Herbert

In recent weeks, both the New England Patriots and Minnesota Vikings reached out to the Los Angeles Chargers to see if they had any interest in trading quarterback Justin Herbert, according to league sources. The answer they got very quickly was "a flat no." Not only do the Chargers love Herbert, but they also would have had to take on a $63.5 million salary cap charge in 2024 at a time they have $32.3 million of cap space. Meanwhile, the Patriots took QB Drake Maye third overall and the Vikings took QB J.J. McCarthy 11th overall in the first round of this year's NFL draft. There's still a lot to like about the 26-year-old Herbert, but it's hard to ignore the fact that he lost Austin Ekeler, Keenan Allen and Mike Williams this offseason and is now in a run-first offense under new head coach Jim Harbaugh and offensive coordinator Greg Roman.

Caleb Williams Apr 25 11:13pm CT
Caleb Williams

Dynasty | The Chicago Bears drafted USC quarterback Caleb Williams with the top overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft. Dynasty Analysis: As expected. The Bears made this all but a certainty when they traded Justin Fields to the Steelers earlier this off-season. Williams will immediately take over the franchise and will be in a unique situation as a rookie starter with an offense that isn't exactly lacking talent. The likes of Keenan Allen, DJ Moore and D'Andre Swift should be enough to keep his dynasty value high even as he learns the position. Williams should be immediately installed as a low-end QB1 and an easy pick at the top of a Superflex league rookie draft.

From Dynasty League Fantasy

Jayden Daniels Apr 25 11:13pm CT
Jayden Daniels

Dynasty | The Washington Commanders selected LSU quarterback Jayden Daniels with the second overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft. Dynasty Analysis: The Commanders decided to make Daniels the face of the franchise and took him with the second overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft. It's hard to blame him as he put up video game numbers last season at LSU. It's difficult to see any other quarterback with a higher ceiling than Daniels has, though it's also evident there's a low floor here as well, especially considering his small frame. If he can prove his throwing ability can match his rushing talent, the sky is truly the limit, though. Daniels could find his way to the top of Superflex rookie drafts and is an easy early second rounder in conventional rookie drafts this off-season as well.

From Dynasty League Fantasy

Drake Maye Apr 25 11:13pm CT
Drake Maye

Dynasty | The New England Patriots drafted UNC quarterback Drake Maye with the third overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft. Dynasty Analysis: The Patriots have hit the reset button with the first pick in the post-Bill Belichick era and took Maye with the third overall selection. He should have a solid chance to take over as the starter immediately and be given every opportunity to succeed. However, there are concerns here as Maye will not exactly be given a roster full of elite talent. Maye is in danger of some really serious adversity early in his career and may need to work through it. Regardless, Maye looks like a solid Superflex pick and a second rounder in conventional formats.

From Dynasty League Fantasy

Kyler Murray Apr 25 11:13pm CT
Kyler Murray

Dynasty | The Arizona Cardinals drafted Ohio State wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. with the fourth overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft. Dynasty Analysis: The Cardinals decided to stand pat in the draft and took Harrison with the fourth overall selection. He should immediately take over as the top option for Kyler Murray in the desert and is in place to immediately become a big factor in dynasty leagues. Simply put, Harrison has the talent, pedigree and skill set to be an immediate WR1 and should be the top overall position player taken in rookie drafts this off-season.

From Dynasty League Fantasy

Jayden Daniels Apr 25 11:13pm CT
Jayden Daniels

Dynasty | The top Washington pass-catcher gets an upgrade at QB with the selection of Jayden Daniels. Dynasty Analysis: Currently ranked as WR35 in DLF's dynasty ranks, McLaurin could get the biggest value bump at the position with the QB change. A precision passer who is also a dangerous runner, Daniels is exactly what the Commanders needed to open up the offense. McLaurin figures to benefit the most as the Heisman-winning rookie's top receiving option, and could jump more than 10 spots into low end WR2 range.

From Dynasty League Fantasy

Daniel Jones Apr 25 11:13pm CT
Daniel Jones

Dynasty | The New York Giants drafted LSU wide receiver Malik Nabers with the sixth overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft. Dynasty Analysis: The Giants reportedly flirted with many options in the draft (including maneuvering for a quarterback) but ended up grabbing Nabers with the sixth overall pick. It's hard to blame them as Nabers could honestly be the best receiver in this class. While Daniel Jones' health and overall play is still in question, Nabers should enter the season as the top pass catcher for the Giants and makes for an easy top-three pick in conventional dynasty rookie drafts this off-season.

From Dynasty League Fantasy

DeAndre Hopkins Apr 25 11:13pm CT
DeAndre Hopkins

Dynasty | Murray gets a new WR1 with the arrival of Marvin Harrison, Jr. Dynasty Analysis: After missing half of the 2023 season rehabbing a torn ACL, and losing DeAndre Hopkins before the season and Marquise "Hollywood" Brown after the season, dynasty owners have been understandably skeptical of Murray. But the addition of Harrison gives Murray arguably the best weapon of his career. Previously ranked as QB10 with mid/late 2nd round ADP, Murray is poised to jump back into the first round for the first time since the ACL injury in 2022.

From Dynasty League Fantasy

Michael Penix Jr. Apr 25 11:13pm CT
Michael Penix Jr.

Dynasty | Washington quarterback Michael Penix Jr was drafted 8th overall by the Atlanta Falcons. Dynasty Analysis: Wow. Penix was reportedly rising up draft boards this off-season but few expected him to go in the top ten of the NFL Draft, no less to the Falcons, who had recently signed Kirk Cousins. Penix is now in place to back up Cousins for a year or more before taking over for Atlanta as their long-term answer. Unfortunately, his chance at a starting job is close to zero for this season and his draft stock in dynasty leagues is going to suffer as a result, Patience could be rewarded for dynasty managers but it's going to be tough to use a pick (and a roster spot) long-term for a lottery ticket like Penix. In short, this looks like a pick better in reality and fantasy and Penix is a serious wild card in dynasty rookie drafts as a result.

From Dynasty League Fantasy

Justin Herbert Apr 25 11:13pm CT
Justin Herbert

Dynasty | The fifth overall selection of left tackle Joe Alt gives Justin Herbert some much-needed blindside protection. Dynasty Analysis: Herbert still faces a lack of pass-catching weapons as of the draft's first round. But the concern of a run ultra-heavy approach under new head coach Jim Harbaugh should subside �" if only slightly �" with the arrival of Alt. Herbert has struggled with injuries over the last two seasons, facing constant pressure when he is on the field. The pocket should solidify and Herbert should have significantly more time to throw with the upgrade at left tackle.

From Dynasty League Fantasy

Caleb Williams Apr 25 11:13pm CT
Caleb Williams

Dynasty | The Chicago Bears drafted wide receiver Rome Odunze with the ninth overall pick in the 2024 overall draft. Dynasty Analysis: Many mock drafts had put Odunze at #9 to Chicago and that's exactly where he ended up. His dynasty prospects are going to be a little cloudy early as he attempts to navigate his way to targets with the likes of Keenan Allen and DJ Moore early in his career but he has the chops to be a dominant dynasty performer in time. His career arc should match that of Caleb Williams and while the early returns could be hit and miss he still looks like a top three wide receiver and top five rookie pick this off-season.

From Dynasty League Fantasy

Sam Darnold Apr 25 11:13pm CT
Sam Darnold

Dynasty | The Minnesota Vikings drafted Michigan quarterback JJ McCarthy with the tenth overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft. Dynasty Analysis: There was a lot of smoke about McCarthy being taken in the top five but he ended up falling to tenth pick where Minnesota was happy to scoop him up. The Vikings will likely hold an open competition between McCarthy and Sam Darnold but it certainly looks like McCarthy has been pegged as the future for the franchise. His upside is debatable in dynasty leagues as McCarthy may not be the most dynamic player in the draft but he does seem like one of the safer options. He looks like a late second or early third round pick in rookie drafts.

From Dynasty League Fantasy

Russell Wilson Apr 25 11:13pm CT
Russell Wilson

Dynasty | The Denver Broncos drafted Oregon quarterback Bo Nix with the 12th overall selection in the 2024 NFL Draft. Dynasty Analysis: Nix ended up being the sixth quarterback taken in the NFL Draft but the 12th overall selection, being taken by the Broncos. Denver is looking to quickly replace Russell Wilson and Head Coach Sean Payton is reportedly enamored with Nix. All of this adds up to him likely being the week one starter for Denver and gives him a decent runway to be successful. The numbers are very impressive here and Nix now has a pretty solid runway to playing time. As such, his rookie ADP is likely going to rise into the second round of rookie drafts.

From Dynasty League Fantasy

Brock Bowers Apr 25 11:13pm CT
Brock Bowers

Dynasty | The Las Vegas Raiders selected tight end Brock Bowers with the 13th overall selection in the 2024 NFL Draft. Dynasty Analysis: Bowers slipped a little in the NFL Draft as teams maneuvered around to secure quarterbacks. In the end, he ended up being taken 13th overall to the Raiders. It's an odd fit as Las Vegas invested in Michael Mayer last season but Bowers should still have a solid chance to contribute early and often. Having a clearer path to being a true TE1 on his team would have likely solidified his spot as a top five rookie pick but this could drop him down just a smidge. Still, he has as much talent as anyone we've ever seen at the position and should have a floor that makes him very desirable in round one of rookie drafts.

From Dynasty League Fantasy

Caleb Williams Apr 25 11:13pm CT
Caleb Williams

Dynasty | After getting a big quarterback upgrade with the selection of Caleb Williams, Moore gets some serious competition for targets as the Bears pick Rome Odunze. Dynasty Analysis: The excitement of Williams throwing to Moore and Co. lasted all of eight picks, as the ninth overall selection of Odunze poses a threat to Moore's workload. While Odunze's downfield prowess compliments the short-mid range deployment of Keenan Allen, Odunze will directly compete with Moore for downfield and perimeter targets. Moore will continue to line up as the WR1 in the offense, but his WR16 dynasty ranking at DLF isn't likely to hold up with his diminished target share.

From Dynasty League Fantasy

Cole Kmet Apr 25 11:13pm CT
Cole Kmet

Dynasty | The Raiders select generational talent Brock Bowers, effectively burying Mayer and his dynasty value. Dynasty Analysis: A chalk sleeper at the TE position, Mayer was positioned for a breakout in 2023. That is, until Brock Bowers came along. The 13th overall pick is considered one of the best TE prospects in league history, and he immediately walks into the starting job in Sin City. Mayer went into the draft ranked as the dynasty TE14 on DLF, in the neighborhood of Luke Musgrave and Cole Kmet, ahead of Dalton Schultz. His ranking is likely to plummet now that he is the backup to Bowers.

From Dynasty League Fantasy

Brian Thomas Jr. Apr 25 11:13pm CT
Brian Thomas Jr.

Dynasty | The Jaguars drafted LSU wide receiver Brian Thomas with the 23rd overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft. Dynasty Analysis: Thomas landed in a great spot, being taken late in round one by the Jacksonville Jaguars. A true playmaker, he should have every opportunity to replace Calvin Ridley quickly in the Jaguars offense and is a candidate to be the Offensive Rookie of the Year based on his talent and opportunity. This was a solid development for his value and Thomas should have his spot as a top-6 player in rookie drafts solidified as a result.
