Fantasy Football 2017: Start or sit for Week 11
By Dan Thomas
Wide Receivers
Start
Sterling Shepard, New York Giants vs. Kansas City Chiefs – Shepard was a player I recommended last week and he responded with a big game (11 receptions, 142 yards). For the second-straight week, I’m once again going with Shepard. The kid is talented and Eli Manning doesn’t have a lot of other options to throw to. Expect Shepard to see around 10+ targets in Week 11.
DeVante Parker, Miami Dolphins vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers – Parker now has 12.5+ PPR fantasy points in five out of six games this season. I expect him to finish with at least 14+ PPR points in a good matchup against the Buccaneers.
Jeremy Maclin, Baltimore Ravens vs. Green Bay Packers – It’s easy to overlook any pass-catcher on the Ravens but keep in mind Maclin has 14.3+ PPR points in back-to-back games. With the Ravens coming out of a bye, Maclin should be 100% healthy and the Packers secondary is vulnerable.
Sit
Jordy Nelson, Green Bay Packers vs. Baltimore Ravens – Nelson simply hasn’t been on the same page with Brett Hundley and the Ravens are a horrible matchup. As much as it pains owners, Nelson needs to be on benches.
Keenan Allen, Los Angeles Chargers vs. Buffalo Bills – It’s good to see Allen healthy this late into the season but he only has four or less catches in four out of the last five games. To make matters worse, he could be without Philip Rivers who has yet to pass the concussion protocol.
