Fantasy Football 2017: 10 Deep sleepers for Week 11
By Dan Thomas
6. Blaine Gabbert, QB, Arizona Cardinals (3.5 percent owned)
Yes, you are reading that right: Blaine Gabbert should be in some owners starting lineups this week. He takes on the Houston Texans who have given up nine touchdown passes over their last three games and rank 27th in passing defense. Last season, Gabbert started five games and in two of them, he had 19+ fantasy points. In those five games he also averaged 34.4 yards rushing. Do you have the guts?

5. Danny Woodhead, RB, Baltimore Ravens (46.7 percent owned)
It’s been a long time coming but Danny Woodhead is finally set to return after going down with a hamstring injury in Week 1. The Ravens might try to ease him back after he missed so much time but considering he’s not a workhorse, I expect him to take on most of his usual workload. Look for Woodhead to finish with four or more receptions on Sunday.
4. Tyler Kroft, TE, Cincinnati Bengals (45.2 percent owned)
Kroft goes into Sunday ranked as the 16th-best PPR tight end and he gets a glorious matchup this week. The Broncos have given up a touchdown to an opposing tight end in three-straight games and in six out of nine games this season. The tight end position is so boom-or-bust, so if we are playing the odds, I say Kroft scores a touchdown tomorrow.
