Player Pos Team Opponent Start / Sit Comment
Case Keenum QB MIN DET SIT Detroit is ranked 29th vs the opposing fantasy RB. Look for Minnesota to try to control this game with the run on a short week.
Alfred Morris RB DAL LAC START The Chargers have a tough pass defense. Dallas would be wise to try to get Morris going as this is the area to attack Dallas' defense (29th vs the run and susceptible to pass catching backs as well).
Philip Rivers QB LAC DAL START The stats make this a close call. Dallas has held 4 of 10 opposing QBs to sub 20 point games. Rivers is a marginal start in any given week, but he seems hot and Mike Williams is starting to get more involved. Keen Allen is coming off a huge performance and both Gordon and Ekler can contribute in the passing game. I like his chances.
Dak Prescott QB DAL LAC SIT Prescott has been held to 21.25 points since Elliott was suspended - that's a two game total. The Chargers are a real tough pass defense. If you have other options, fire them up.
Orleans Darkwa RB NYG WAS START With Washington able to shut down most passing games but vulnerable against the run and the Giants looking like a run based team these days, attacking with Darkwa will be their game plan until Washington's offense can force the tempo.
Vernon Davis TE WAS NYG START Few teams are worse at covering the TE than the Giants and Reed looks to be out again this week. If that's the case, Davis should be in your lineup on Thanksgiving day.
Evan Engram TE NYG WAS START The one team that might be worse at covering the TE than the Giants is Washington and Engram should be in your lineup most weeks anyway. Don't sit him off his bad game in week 11.
