Week 11 is here and each move you make from here on out could either make or break your chances to take home the championship in your league. Whether that's sitting a wide receiver, playing the right waiver wire quarterback or choosing who to play at flex, every move is crucial.
One guy I like this week is Washington Redskins rookie wide receiver Jamison Crowder. Crowder faces a fairly tough matchup with the Carolina Panthers, but I like his chances to see targets. Panthers cornerback Josh Norman will likely be occupied with DeSean Jackson and Pierre Garcon for most of the day, leaving Crowder with the opportunity to make plenty of catches. Crowder is seeing his fair share of action lately and his been productive doing so, grabbing at least four catches in every game since week three. He's also coming off of his best game of the season last week against the New Orleans Saints, a game in which he caught four passes for 60 yards and a touchdown. The improved play of Kirk Cousins lately also makes Crowder an intriguing play this week, but the Carolina Panthers defense is only giving up 234 yards per game so understand there is risk involved with playing Crowder.
Another sneaky good play this week is Minnesota Vikings rookie wide receiver Stefon Diggs. Diggs has been a hot commodity this season and rightfully so. He's the best playmaker the Vikings have at wide receiver this year and quarterback Teddy Bridgewater looks for him early and often. Diggs faces a middle of the rung Green Bay Packers defense this week that is allowing 255 yards per game through the air and roughly 21 points per game. Green Bay's defense has been generous through the air lately, giving up 539 yards and five receiving touchdowns to the Panthers and Lions the past two weeks. While Diggs hasn't had a big game lately, he appears due against a soft Packers defense.
Crowder and Diggs owners should understand that both guys are low end WR2 plays today and good flex options, but probably nothing more than that. I'm expecting 60 yards receiving and a touchdown from Crowder and 80 yards receiving and a touchdown from Diggs.
