FanDuel NFL 2017: Week 11 lineup
Wide Receivers: Michael Crabtree, Oakland Raiders-$7,500, Roger Lewis, New York Giants-$5,000, DeVante Parker, Miami Dolphins-$6,200
Crabtree went into the Raiders bye week on a low note, with three catches for 40 yards against the Miami Dolphins in Week 9. But before that he had at least seven targets in four straight games, with a touchdown in the first three of those contests.
The New England Patriots have been better defensively of late, but they’re still bottom-three of the league in fantasy points allowed to wide receivers (ESPN PPR Scoring) with a touchdown allowed to the position in eight of nine games this season.
Derek Carr should be throwing the ball plenty in Mexico City Sunday afternoon. So give me Crabtree, his most reliable and consistent wide receiver.
Sterling Shepard is out of Sunday’s game due to migraines, so someone has to get those targets. Roger Lewis is first in line in a very favorable matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs, who have allowed the most touchdowns, the third-most yards and, wait for it….the most fantasy points (ESPN PPR scoring) to wide receivers thus far.
Over five healthy games this season, DeVante Parker has 44 targets while delivering at least 66 yards and 9.6 FanDuel points in each game.
Parker is in the top-10 in the league in air yards per target and deep targets per game thus far. That bodes well for his matchup on Sunday, as the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have allowed the third-highest completion percentage on deep passes this year. Jay Cutler should be throwing plenty on Sunday, and with plenty of success. Parker is in line for a breakout game.
