TL;DR DFS Week 11
- Stefon Diggs looks to build on his monster Week 10 facing a Colts defense that funnels points to the passing game—Indianapolis ranks sixth in schedule-adjusted points allowed to running backs but 27th or worse against every other position. (Full Article)
- The Raiders have given up some big games to TEs this season, which correlated with big QB weeks. Travis Kelce had 119 yards last week, Jared Cook had six receptions for 70 yards and a TD, and Noah Fant had 9 receptions for 97 yards and a score. Outside of the Browns game, C.J. Uzomah has run at least 66% of the routes all year long and is second on the team with five touchdowns. (Full Article)
- Brandin Cooks ($6,500) has been quite the same target hog with Tyrod Taylor at QB and has a similar value score to WRs with salaries nearly $1,000 higher. He saw 13 looks in the Texans’ Week 9 loss to the Dolphins. (Full Article)
- Cole Kmet's chemistry with Justin Fields has grown over the last month. Kmet is tied for the team lead in target share at 23% since Week 7. He's a bit cheaper than TEs with similar workloads like Dan Arnold and Pat Freiermuth. (Full Article)
TL;DR Betting Week 11
- In terms of adjusted sack rate, Minnesota's fourth-ranked pass rush should find some success against Green Bay’s 15th-ranked offensive line, while Green Bay’s 20th-ranked pass rush might struggle against Minnesota’s second-ranked offensive line. (Full Article)
- The Bills ran play-action on 58% of dropbacks in Week 10, which is nearly twice as high as their season-long rate of 32%. Allen's 13.1 yards per attempt (YPA) and 13.4 average depth of target (aDOT) translated to 45 points and an easy win. They'll likely find success continuing this approach against the Colts.
