BALLER MOVE: Start in 14+ Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: RB3/Flex Play
ANALYSIS: Alexander Mattison has functioned as the Raiders lead back the last handful of games. He’s received plenty of volume, scored four touchdowns, and has been a viable flex play at times this year.
Alexander Mattison goes 31 yards for the @Raiders first TD of 2024!

Las Vegas travels across the country to play the Miami Dolphins this weekend. Miami hasn’t had the season they’d hoped for, and their run defense has been part of the problem.
Per FTN Fantasy, the Dolphins rank 25th in defensive rushing DVOA and have allowed the 11th most PPR points per game to opposing backs. Las Vegas might not be able to take advantage, though, as they have struggled to run the football consistently.
The Raiders are 7.5-point underdogs in this game, so they will likely be playing from behind, and rushing opportunities will be limited.
While that would mean more opportunities to catch passes, Mattison hasn’t seen enough volume as a pass catcher to be considered a must-start player. He should only be started in the deepest of leagues or as a desperation play if you’re missing starters due to injuries or byes.

Mack Hollins (WR, BUF) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 11
BALLER MOVE: Don't Add ROSTERED IN: 3% of Leagues ANALYSIS: It's still not a good idea to use a waiver claim or even a bench spot on Buffalo Bills wide receiver Mack Hollins. He caught all four of his targets for 86 yards last week, but that performance was the exception rather than the rule […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 20% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The waiver period has passed, but Los Angeles Chargers running back Gus Edwards is still only rostered in 20% of Sleeper leagues.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues ROSTERED IN: 26% of Leagues ANALYSIS: DeMario Douglas once again led all Patriots wide receivers in receiving yards this past Sunday.

Xavier Legette (WR, CAR) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 11
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues ROSTERED IN: 36% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Legette is coming off a bit of a disappointing game Sunday against the New York Giants.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 3% of Leagues ANALYSIS: For weeks it has been speculated that Estime would get more touches in Denver’s offense.
