Fantasy Football, Week 11: Best lineup with start/sit advice
By Dylan Broady
Time to start thinking playoffs as Week 10 comes to a close. Those in contention anxiously await. Those not in contention don’t get down. Week 11 will still be fun!
Well folks, we have ended another week of high-flying NFL action. Let’s recap how we did in Week 10 before we begin our Week 11 journey. We will begin with our Start/Sit advice. We started Ben Roethlisberger which turned out to be fantastic. I’m sure everyone enjoyed the five-touchdown performance. Andrew Luck kept rolling, as Jacksonville is no longer a defense to fear.
We sat Luck and paid the price, as Luck threw three touchdowns. Both our running backs didn’t have amazing days. Joe Mixon was a decent sit for us but Jordan Howard turned out to be a terrible start. The Chicago Bears offense has turned into a Swiss army knife. Our wide receivers ended up being backwards. Boyd did have a decent day with 65 yards receiving.
Edelman ended up being used more as Rob Gronkowski decided to sit at the last minute. Without Gronkowski on the field, Edelman was rightfully used more by Tom Brady. Our tight ends were spot-on as O.J. Howard caught only one pass for 15 yards. Greg Olsen had a decent Thursday night with 40 receiving yards on four receptions. We will take the 4-4 record from Week 10 without crying about it and get prepared for Week 11.
Now to our main attraction, in our best lineup we went 4-0 as all four featured players had great fantasy football days. Patrick Mahomes continued to roll leading his team to another win, passing for the most single-season touchdowns by a Chiefs quarterback with 31. Melvin Gordon had 165 total yards from scrimmage and a touchdown. Michael Thomas had 70 yards and two scores. Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce had 46 receiving yards on six receptions.
Overall, we will happily take the 8-4 overall record on our predictions. Anytime we can come away winning we are happy. So let’s dive into Week 11 and help everyone get into playoff contention.
