Kansas City’s defense has allowed fewer than 20 points in four of its last five games. The Chiefs are still No. 27 in yards allowed per game this season, though, and will host the top offense in the NFL on Sunday, when Dallas visits Arrowhead Stadium. Should you be avoiding players like Dak Prescott and Ezekiel Elliott with your Week 11 Fantasy football picks?
Prescott leads an offense that is averaging 433.9 yards per game and is coming off a 43-point explosion against Atlanta last week. There are start-sit question marks around the league, so you should seek out quality Week 11 Fantasy football rankings. Before you lock in your Week 11 Fantasy football picks, be sure to check out the Week 11 Fantasy football predictions from the proven computer model at SportsLine.
When it comes to ranking players, SportsLine’s model beat human experts in Fantasy football for the past several seasons especially when there were big differences in ranking. Over the course of a season, that could literally be the difference between winning your league or going home emptyhanded.
Last week, the model was extremely high on Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, saying he’d finish as the No. 2 quarterback in Fantasy football despite his recent struggles. The result: Mahomes threw for 406 yards and five touchdown passes without an interception. Anybody who had him in their lineup was well on their way to a huge week.
Now, the model, which simulates every NFL game 10,000 times, has revealed its Fantasy football rankings for Week 11 of the 2021 NFL season. Head to SportsLine now to see them.
Top Week 11 Fantasy football picks
One player the model is high on this week: Bears wide receiver Darnell Mooney. He is coming off one of his best performances of the season, catching six passes for 41 yards and two touchdowns in a loss to Pittsburgh. The Bears have lost four consecutive games, but their offense has scored 49 total points over their last two outings. They are coming off a bye week and rookie quarterback Justin Fields seems to be finding his rhythm in the NFL.
Mooney has been targeted at least five times in all but one of his games this season. He has now scored three touchdowns in his last four games and faces a Baltimore defense that is dead-last in passing yards allowed per game. SportsLine’s model projects another solid day for Mooney, making him one of the top Fantasy football picks this week.
And a massive shocker: Colts wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr., who is being started in 96 percent of CBS Sports Fantasy football leagues, stumbles big-time and doesn’t even crack the top 20 at his position. T.Y. Hilton just turned 32 and he’s only played in three games this season, so Pittman has stepped up to fill the void for a No. 1 receiver in Indianapolis’ offense. He’s amassed 55 catches for 729 yards and five touchdowns.
However, despite the productivity, Pittman has been targeted six times or fewer in four of his last five games and faces a difficult matchup against the Bills on Sunday. Buffalo ranks No. 2 in the NFL in pass defense and is No. 1 in net adjusted passing yards allowed per attempt (5.1). Expect Pittman to see plenty of Tre’Davious White in coverage.
