Fantasy Football, Week 11: High value plays for DraftKings
By Dylan Broady
John Brown, Baltimore Ravens, $5,900 (Flex Worthy)
Stats: 601 receiving yards, 4 touchdowns
John Brown has been great at times and completely unplayable at times. He has burned us once this season already here at high-value plays. In Week 10, Brown and the Ravens enjoyed a much-needed bye week. Week 11 has a lot of very juicy potential for Brown to have a bounceback game. His opponent, the Cincinnati Bengals, have the worst defense in the NFL.
Brown has shown flashes of brilliance this season and should continue to be a centerpiece of this offense. He comes in as the 21st-most expensive wide receiver for this great matchup. This is where we can really manipulate our lineups to our liking. When someone of Browns caliber is dirt cheap to place in your lineups, it also makes him a flex-worthy candidate heading into this matchup.
Brown is averaging seven targets and 66 receiving yards per game this season. Even in the down moments his volume and high-target share in this offense makes him a fantastic high-value play. Going forward Brown will be looked upon more often than not and everyone should take notice and capitalize on this great opportunity. We want you to succeed here at high value and succeed you will! Play Brown this week you won’t regret it.
Let’s take a look at the defense Brown will be facing so we can completely convince you that we have a potential home run matchup this week. The Bengals allow 454 total yards, 313 passing yards, 141 rushing yards and 32 points per game this season. The whole Ravens offense should have a huge game. Especially Brown who leads the team in receiving yards and receiving touchdowns. Smack this one out of park and win.
Prediction: 105 receiving yards, 3 touchdowns
